I searched my library site for "clean jokes." Only five titles were listed, all pornographic and explicit titles.
I complained; library's reply: "There are no pornographic images or other content in any of the results that meet the definition of obscenity.”
My reply to their non-response: Your comment is not only a red herring, as I wrote not about “obscenity" but about results that were the antithesis of my search, but it is also meaningless, as the American Library Association (ALA) argues that since obscenity is subjective, nothing can be defined as obscene. Furthermore, the ALA has waged a successful, decades-long campaign to ensure that taxpayers subsidize the nihilistic amorality of a privileged, artistic elite (who’s to say what is obscene?!) and, hypocritically, the soft-censorship of views at odds with theirs.
Many who promote the “nothing is obscene” philosophy are pedophiles and sexual predators who, along with the rich, nihilistic elite, use artistic cover to promote physical gratification as a moral imperative.
Of the 698 joke books in the system, only the five pornographic or explicit ones have “clean” associated with them. This is not a random function, but an insidious code.
what’s a “hoopla”?
I have hoopla and did a search on “Clean Joke” - it returned many more than five and no pornography.
Maybe you should consult her
She is in her eighties, so she knows best.
On a tangent:
I’ve been watching “Dry Bar Comedy” occasionally on YouTube.
Some funny standup routines.
“ Many who promote the “nothing is obscene” philosophy are pedophiles and sexual predators who, along with the rich, nihilistic elite, use artistic cover to promote physical gratification as a moral imperative”
Well , isn’t that special? ( in my best church lady imitation)
I agree about Dry Bar. I’ve seen a number of great routines
I call BS on this. I ran the same search which returned 1,000s of entries and none were remotely pornographic
Maybe you were hijacked by Moopla.
What's a library?
This is usually caused by tracking scripts remembering previous websites already visited on that browser/machine. They track what you were looking at and try to sell you more of it.
Wrong conclusion. If they track my internet searches and history, they know that I am a die-hard conservative woman of faith, and the results were designed to offend.
It’s a shame that so many on this board are so free to do to each other what we despise when done to us by liberals.
Please find a healthier outlet for your mistrust.
If I offended you and insulted your integrity that was not my intentions. As a web developer I was merely pointing out the “most common cause” for this to happen in general. In no way do I doubt what happened to you nor was I implying that it was you. That is why I said “Usually” It would be the same case if the topic would have been quilts or quilting.
What you shared does happen also now and then. But I have run into this same tracking script situation before and it turned out that it was indeed not the person who the machine belonged to, but someone else who was allowed to sit and borrow the machine. But now it is stuck in the browser.
I deeply apologize and my comment was meant for the community in general. If there was no way anyone else could have used your machine then I was in the wrong and was out of place with my general comment. That is why I said “usually” and not “definitely” the cause.
Having developed websites for years now there is something I would like you to consider in this. If what you shared cannot be reproduced by many others then there is something unique about your machine and/or browser.
This means you may have unintentionally picked up something nefarious at some point, most likely hidden tracking/ad ware that can even come from a supposedly clean trusted source or local email client if you use local email in your machine.
I would do a cleaning of your cache/cookies and website data cache to make sure it is clean for sure and doesn’t refer you to this content anymore.
