Exactly, it was the word “banned” that confused me - to me it implies censorship by a government. If Jennifer Love Hewitt didn’t want it shown, that’s a different story. ---

As has been stated, or at least strongly implied, the video itself is not the problem. It’s all the pornographic ads _around_ the video (which I admit I didn’t even notice at first) that make the site not-work-safe. ---

Happy to help. 🙂 Honestly, I am eternally perplexed by comments like that (not _yours_, mind you…the comment that precipitated my response that you…responded to). ## vis.: “So-n-so is a major fox [cue frantic disclaimer] BUT I CHECKED [IMDB.COM](http://IMDB.COM), AND SHE’S 18, SO IT’S OKAY!” (pant, sweat) [/cfd] ‘I was talking to my younger female cousin at a wedding last week, and my best friend came up and said, “Dude, she’s hot!” And I’m like, “Dude, she’s like 15!” And my friend was like “Dude…” The look of horror on his face was hilarious. He felt guilty for the rest of the day.’ ## “Um, you DO realize she was _twelve_, right? You sure you aren’t thinking of someone else?” Um, DUDE…finding someone younger than you attractive is simply an artifact of having once been younger than you are NOW. It’s not a travesty of nature, it’s a byproduct of it (unless you were hatched out of a vat as an adult by aliens, or something). Age-of-consent laws, “underage”, and similar concepts only apply to _actually having sex with someone_ (well, sure, a few other details; but finding someone attractive isn’t one of them–witness all the “how cute are babies” threads). Watching someone on tv and thinking “If I were still twelve, I’d hit that” is NOT governed by the legislature. Honestly, I don’t know why people have such a hard time with this. I mean, it’s not like John Ashcroft is AG anymore… Oh, and I feel just fine about Emma Watson and Emily Browning. Agree totally with you both. They each make me wish I was a teenager again. And hansome. And their roommate. Simultaneously. Throw in Neve Campbell, and you’d have to pay me to stay away. One thing I’ll say for “Party of Five”: they knew where to find the fetching lassies.
