Oh yeah:
You mean to say he has a fondness for a particular depiction of a large, well built shiny black man humping a white human in spike heels (gender indeterminate due to obscuring bar)? Really? Shocked, shocked, shocked. 
Whew! So only odd-looking people look at Pr0n! I’ll keep an eye peeled for odd-looking preverts.
Well, Sampiro, you have lots of sympathy from a fellow librarian, but I have no help for you. I’m rather surprised to find this happening at a university library–it’s usually the public libraries that have this problem. I guess I’m a little naive to expect college students to understand the reasoning.
Right ON! Glad I could make ya happy. 
I love that movie!
I was thinking more like Redneck.
Mongoloid should NOT be used in this pejorative way. It is a racial term referring to certain Asians and Native Americans, or at least it is when spelled correctly. It makes no sense in this context.
It’s not only a racial descriptor. It’s an older name for the condition of hydroencephaly - which in less extreme cases can cause brain damage. I’m not going to link that - but if you want to freak yourself out with pictures of baby aliens, do a Google image search for it.
Maybe they’re the “odd-looking people” who are surfing all the Pr0n??
From Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary:
Main Entry: Mon·gol·oid
Pronunciation: 'mä[ng]-g&-"loid
Function: adjective
1 : of, constituting, or characteristic of a major racial stock native to Asia as classified according to physical features (as the presence of an epicanthic fold) that includes peoples of northern and eastern Asia, Malaysians, Eskimos, and often American Indians
2 often not capitalized, sometimes offensive : of, relating to, or affected with Down syndrome
- Mongoloid noun
I think the second definition is the one the OP was going for. It’s like calling someone a retard, or a helmet stand, or Corky. Makes sense to me.
And there’s where I have a problem. In the course of my life I’ve had occasion to work with several children with Down syndrome, and they were in every way superior to the subject of the OP. So calling this induhvidual “mongoloid” is indeed an insult—to the hydroencephalics of the world.
Agreed, it’s not a polite thing to say. But this is the Pit, after all. Anyway, I was just pointing out to Captain Lance Murdoch that the word does make sense in this context. But this isn’t really the point of the thread.
By the way, it’s a testament to the success of people who fought againt the use of this word both as an insult and as a qualifier for people with Down syndrome that some (like ** Captain Lance Murdoch ** ) don’t even know anymore what it refers to and mistake it for a racial epithet.
I’ve seen the same thing happening here, and noticed it when on some french message board, someone asked why “Mongol” had been previously used as an insult and someone else “explained” that it was because Mongols used to be threatening barbarian hordes. IOW, both had no clue, while, when I was a teenager “mongol” was commonly used and readily understood by everybody (both as an insult and as a reference to Down syndrome).
In one of my favorite novels, Confederacy of Dunces, Ignatius J. Reilly replies to a (perfectly valid) complaint letter to the company he works for with the heading “To Mr. I Abelman, Mongoloid, Esq.”. This is why I use it- it has a cool ring to it.
Just because an 18-year-old Fundie goes off to college doesn’t miraculously transform him into an 18-year-old librul college kid. There’s a sizeable contingent of people in the world who believe that if you ain’t fist-pounding-on-the-pulpit agin somethin’, then you’re for it. Thus the whole “Library loves it some porn” mindset, because if the Library was against porn, then they’d have filtering software, but they don’t, so therefore they ain’t.
…see.
And I’d like to add that this is one of the most elegantly pithy sentences I’ve ever read in the Pit:
Yup.
Sanpiro? Hello? I believe the proper term is mongo.
This is what you get for living in Alabama, one of the (few) places Tennessee can look down on.
Hi, I’m Mike Faulk and I wrote the story you’re whining about. I would really like an opportunity to discuss it with you, since you’re analyzation of it is grossly inaccurate, such as the “librarian” you mention, though the only library staff member used in the story or who I talked to at all was the Dean (who, by the way, called me to say he loved the story and I “perfectly” articulated his points). The person who commented on the CW Web site saying I had used the photo before was one of our former staffers, Graham Flanagan (who goes by The Source when he comments), joking around: something that should be obvious to the non-“zealous.” I also took the photo of the porn that was found saved on the computer with another library staff member present, she said she thought it was hilarious. As a matter of fact, every part of your argument against the story is inaccurate all the way down to getting the title right (the print title was Porn OK in UA Libraries, not Libraries OK with Porn). The intent of the article was not to crack down on libraries, but just to let people know about something out of the ordinary that happens all the time in the libraries they use.
As for me, I’m a liberal atheist, borderline anarchist and really don’t give a fuck about people’s sex lives or love of porn (or where they look at it, save for the computer that I choose to use.) Seriously. My office phone number is XXXXXXXXXX and my e-mail is XXXXX. Thanks.
Mike, you might want to email Sampiro. His address is in his profile, so I will give it to you --J.Sampiro@gmail.com
TPTB frown upon off-board clashes being brought on-board. ( Not trying to Jr. Mod here. I could be wrong about this specific issue.)
Personally, I am interested in how this resolves. Email Sampiro. He is a righteous dude.
