Teengers download porn, News at 11!

Only in America would the fact that teenagers are using their laptops to download porn be a newsworthy item. I should volunteer to teach a class showing all the kids how to use PGP on their macs to keep them out of trouble and to keep their parents thinking that the kids still buy the stork story. I mean, it's all the laptop and Internet's fault since kids used to have to go down and buy Playboy Magazine at a seedy liquor store, right? Of course, we wouldn't want parents talking to their children about what porn is and why it is often offensive to people as that would require actual parent-child communication about S - E - X. No, we'll just punish all the kids and tell them it's bad to make it even more popular than ever before!
