Washington, AP-- Janet Reno announced plans today to enact emergency federal
legislation that mandates browsers of the future will incorporate a device
that will postpone viewing of harmful and questionable websites until a
five-day waiting period has passed. The newly appointed TechPolice will use
cookies on your computer to determine if your background is suitable for
veiwing these lethal websites. In unrelated news, it has been reported that
the "Saturday Night Special" the weapon of choice for convenience store
robberies, has been replaced by the "html snubnose" as the preferred weapon
for stick-ups.
"I won't allow my kids to have websites in the house anymore, now that I
know how dangerous they can be." says Orenthal Simpson, a concerned parent
from California.
"You just don't know when the kids are going to find your website, no matter
how good you've hidden it, and then BAM! another baby killing MD is gone.
It ain't right." Charles Manson, a noted penal institution expert, is quoted
as having said.
