How exactly is Penthouse being "edited", i.e. censored? Note that
Penthouse (not to mention Playboy) sucks; you should really buy
quality mags like "Naughty Neighbors" or one from the "Hustler"
series (they have many specialty mags).

Yes, I was disgusted by that injustice too. Which reminds me: I saw
"Scared Straight" again recently, and was blown away by the absurdity
of the whole setup. Those idiots take a kind of perverted pride in the
fact that prisons are primitive, inhumane hell holes where the least
guilty get punished the most. If that program showed anything, it's that
the justice system is a complete (and very sick) joke. Where are all
those bleeding-heart human rights activists when people are being
randomly raped, beaten, psychologically brutalized and even killed in
prison by guards and inmates alike? Friggin hypocrites.
P.s: though essentially gender-neutral, I think that (IMHO) the
transtopian principles are one of the most powerful "feminist"
statements to date. Full personal empowerment, that's what it's all
about.
