SCO chairman wants Congress to make port 80 porn-free

[jonpotz]

The governor of Utah signed a nonbinding resolution on Tuesday that calls on the US Congress to do something about the rising tide of Internet pornography, preferably using technology to stick it in a ghetto where those who don't want to see it don't have to do so. The resolution, which passed both houses of the Utah legislature, was backed by CP80 ("Clean port 80"), a group founded and headed by Ralph Yarro. CP80's plan to cleanse the Internet isn't the only controversy that Yarro's involved in, though; he also happens to chair the board of directors for SCO.

Whats crazy is that someone in utah thinks they could control what happens on "port 80" everywhere on earth.

People with unrealistic ideas..

Not to mention that search engines, etc, don't give a rat's ass about ports

Hey I have an idea.. Why don't we build a big fence around Utah so they can't get out. Then unplug Utah from the world. I mean seriously do they breed stupidity there because it's always some nut case in Utah coming up with these great ideas.

I wonder how many members of congress know what a port is.
