And you’re willing to admit that in public? Any chance you folks will take the blame for Sean Coombs, or Britney Spears, too?

Not a chance. They are your very own home-grown perversions, and we insist you take responsibility for them.

Of course, all this seems to be moot, as the board is still up and running. I wonder what’s going on?

“Straight Dope MacArthur Park”

My Web browser is content-less and dark  
With the SDMB off all daaaaaaaay  
I tried spending time at the mall and in the park  
But I want to post in GD  
About evolution and SUVs  
And I’ll never find a better message board again!  
Oh noooooooooooooooo…
