Google Brown Shirts and Book Burning for Liberals

 

About four months ago I wrote a cautionary tale about a new category of crime. Advanced technology contained in various and sundry “sex toys” is rendering them susceptible to hacking, setting their owners up for extortion attempts or worse. Could death by a runaway sex toy be far behind? Here is the article: 

Sex is Getting More Complicated

 I admit it is difficult to discuss the topic without using the terms dildo, sex robot and other terms of a sexual nature. I will go so far as to say that my blog was not a straight news story. It did not advocate, advertise or encourage the use of any sexual device or recommend any particular course of perversion. Imagine my surprise when I received the following message from Google in my inbox this morning.
I hate stupid people or institutions that embrace, and encourage, stupidity and incorporate it into their institutional fabric.

In the finest traditions of Adolph Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Mao Tse Tung, Pol Pot, various goat fucking Muslims everywhere and the politically correct crowd, I have been tried in absentia and found wanting. Liberals seldom correct NEVER uncertain. In furtherance of those traditions, there is no appeal, comply or die.
