MSN Spaces

Stupid automated censoring-alert! The people at BoingBoing had a go at trying to find out what does and what doesn't pass as a title for a shiny new spaces blog. The results were a mixed bag. It seems whores aren't welcome on MSN spaces but prostitutes are. One can have a about tits but one on the history of pornography would not pass the censorfilter. And... if you planned to start a blog about the Russian writer of literature Vladimir Nabokov you'll have to skip his world famous novel 'Lolita' because it won't pass. I can't wait to dump Pivot and switch to MSN spaces......


P.S: I wonder what happens when the spammers find out about this fine service...

Bernhard

Yesterday evening the ineviteable happened: Our Dutch Royal Highness prince Bernhard passed away. Prince Bernhard was a remarkable man. He married queen Juliana in 1937 and he was a real WW2 hero who's fought with the soldiers at the battlefront. In addition to that he's even been a RAF fighter pilot. Therefore, unlike George W. Bush who fights wrong wars from behind his desk, Bernhard was a man who fought a a 'right' war right from within fighter cockpits or the battle front. Besides being a war hero he was also a prominent wildlife activist, the key figure in an important Dutch cultural foundation and many more things. Bernhard had a very strong opinion about many issues in the Netherlands and he was generally seen as a very nice person. Rest in peace Bernhard, your country will miss you...
