Nationalism

I wanted to learn more about this story [via] about a school resource officer having her computer impounded by the police because her screen saver was a promo for some show called 'The L Word' which has lesbians on it, which I guess is a little too much for the folks in Camden, Ohio. Anyway, I wanted to know what the show was about so I thought I'd visit Showtime's website… but being in Mexico, they've banned me (and all other non-US visitors):

Luckily Showcase Canada has no such blocking. But Canada's always been open to immigration and tries to maintain friendly relations with the rest of the world. In all seriousness though, doing full geolocation-based blocking of a website is in extremely poor taste and goes against the “spirit of the internet”. The Net should have no borders.
Wow Shannon, that's really annoying! What is it, 1997 on Geocities? Retroweb is NOT cool!
