Children are being increasingly exposed to sexual imagery and their parents have limited opportunities to stop it, a report for the Home Office warns.
The report conducted by Psychologist Linda Papadopoulos said there was a clear link between sexualised imagery and violence towards females and calls for tougher regulation of sexual imagery in adverts and a ban on selling "lads' mags" to under-16s.
Children are increasingly exposed to pornography on mobile phones, sexualised images in music videos and an increasing availability of lads mags and it is this "drip-drip" exposure was distorting young people's perceptions of themselves, encouraging boys to become fixated on being macho and dominant, while girls in turn presented themselves as sexually available and permissive.

Following in the footsteps of the Ugliest Fruits And Vegetables slideshow, comes this veritable smorgasbord of fruit and vegetable "porn." Since we love celebrating vegetables in all forms, we though we'd get silly with some provocatively-shaped treats. Regulars to HuffPost Green will recognize our good ol' friend, the parsnip. This time, however, he's joined by all manner of funny, indecent friends.

Early this morning several Australian were attacked and shut down by computer hackers using distributed denial of service attack (also known as DDos attacks.) Several of these parliamentary websites, including the Communications Department, were shut down for 50 minutes but are now back online and running.
The hackers are part of a group called "Anonymous." Anonymous is a group that branches off of the controversial website 4chan, which is a popular image board and also the source of many attacks some would consider cyber-terrorism. But there are others who view groups like 4chan and Anonymous in a more positive light:
"[Anonymous is] the first internet-based superconsciousness. Anonymous is a group, in the sense that a flock of birds is a group. How do you know they're a group? Because they're travelling in the same direction. At any given moment, more birds could join, leave, peel off in another direction entirely."
—Landers, Chris, Baltimore City Paper, April 2, 2008.
This attack, named "Operation: Titstorm," was caused by the Australian government attempting to censor a list of pornographic websites:
"The group is protesting the Government's internet filtering plan which would block a list of banned websites, including child abuse material and pornography. Laws will be introduced to parliament soon." (Reuters)
Although this decision is accepted by a large part of the country Anonymous believes that censorship of any website, for any reason, is the first step to losing our freedom of speech. Many people who were observing these attacks from 4chan believe that the DDos attacks are still in progress.
One blog post says:
"If you people in Australia ... believe that's how you get policy changed then maybe you deserve to have your internet filtered." (sos37 http://tinyurl.com/aucensorblog)
Another asks:
"What would people do if the internet in America was just about to be filtered?" (belial259 http://tinyurl.com/aucensorblog)
Anonymous hopes to make this message clear to the Australian Government:
"No government should have the right to refuse its citizens access to information solely because they perceive it to be 'unwanted' " (Anonymous)Early this morning several Australian were attacked and shut down by computer hackers... more

The research also found that one in 20 children, aged between six and 15, had communicated with a stranger via webcam and one in 50 have actually met a stranger they first contacted online.
The report, which surveyed 500 children, found that many children are getting away with behaviour online that they wouldn’t get away with in the real world, largely because of their parents’ lack of understanding and awareness of their internet habits and of safety precautions.
More than six out of 10 children (62 per cent) said they lie to parents about what they have been looking at online and over half (53 per cent) delete the history on their web browser so their parents can’t see what they have been looking at.

Porn can never be washed from the Web; it can just be driven into stealth mode. And it’s no different on the mobile Web. That’s why Apple’s efforts to keep porn off the iPhone is turning into a never-ending, ever more complex campaign.
Apple (AAPL) can block as many porn-oriented apps as it wants. But the problem is that browsers are themselves apps that open a window onto the entire Web itself. Charles Rodriguez, president of iHustleApps, thought he could use a browser-based app as an end-run around Apple's porn restrictions and introduced forChan, a browser app designed for imageboards that host nasty pics.
As Krapps.com noted, Apple not only shut him down, it revoked his license to sell apps in its store and deleted the other 224 apps he sold there. That prompted a sharp and clever rebuke from Gizmodo, which argued that Apple’s logic meant it needed to ban Microsoft’s Bing app as well as its own Safari browser from the iPhone.

Invasion of the body scanners: Fat greasy perverts from TSA sitting alone in back rooms get ready to enjoy your naked children.
The establishment is ensuring that pedophiles and perverts are kept entertained at airport security checkpoints by mandating the mass rollout of naked body scanners that provide detailed images of your child’s genitalia, to be enjoyed by officials sitting alone in back rooms.
Despite official assurances and media talking points that claim the naked body scanners now being implemented in airports worldwide do not show enough detail to be considered a violation of privacy, the true measure of how much of an intrusion they really are is proven by the fact that they break child pornography laws in the UK that bar the production of indecent images of children.Invasion of the body scanners: Fat greasy perverts from TSA sitting alone in back... more

Video-sharing website YouTube has removed hundreds of pornographic videos which were uploaded in what is believed to be a planned attack.
The material was uploaded under names of famous teenage celebrities such as Hannah Montana and Jonas Brothers.
Many started with footage of children's videos before groups of adults
performing graphic sex acts appeared on screen.
YouTube owner Google said it was aware and addressing the problem.
Disturbing videos
The BBC was made aware that scores of sexually explicit and inappropriate material was uploaded.
In one video titled Jonas Brother Live On Stage, a user posted a comment saying: "I'm 12 years old and what is this?"
Under other uploaded videos, online users posted comments such as: "Take the tags off, you'll get us caught." Another said: "Your gonna kill us all!"
As the disturbing videos were being uploaded, many viewers added them to their favourites and rated them highly.
One user believed to have uploaded some of the pornographic material videos is Flonty, whose profile states that he is 21 and from Germany.
He told the BBC: "I did it because YouTube keeps deleting music. It was part of a 4Chan raid."
4Chan is a bulletin board focusing on Japanese manga and anime but some of its more extreme sections have been described on online messageboards as "sick" and "horrifying stuff".
"Anything and everything can, and usually does, happen here. We have our very own unique culture, and there is no group quite like us anywhere out there".

A suspicious wife posed as a teenager online to catch her husband propositioning girls in a chatroom, Cardiff Crown Court has heard.
Cheryl Roberts, 61, pretended to be a 14-year-old girl and was asked by David Roberts, 68, to meet for sex.
Roberts admitted engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child and making and possessing illegal images.
He was given a three-year community order and banned from having access in person or online to under 18s.
The couple have now split up and are getting divorced.
Different computer
The court heard that mother-of-two Mrs Roberts became suspicious about the amount of time her husband was spending in his study and of a message which popped up on their computer while he was out.
While Roberts was chatting online in his study, Mrs Roberts used a different computer in the living room at their home in Pantygog, Bridgend, and pretended to be a schoolgirl.
Cheryl Roberts called the police after catching her husband propositioning schoolgirls for sex
Roberts propositioned the "girl", unaware he was chatting to his wife, the court was told.
Prosecutor Martyn Kelly told the court that Roberts, a former pub landlord who used the nickname 'Corky' online, also used a webcam to film himself carrying out acts of indecency - which his wife could see on her PC just yards away.
Illegal imagesMrs Roberts was so shocked by the behaviour of her husband of almost 20 years she brought in police, who seized his computer and found dozens of illegal child porn images.
Roberts believed he had been caught through downloading the images and did not know until weeks later that it was his wife who had called the police.
The court heard that, when interviewed, Roberts denied having sex with any schoolgirls but admitted he was "prepared to do so".
Byron Broadstock, defending, said: "He's brought shame on himself and his family."
Psychiatrists' reports said Roberts might have a brain disorder which causes him to be an exhibitionist.A suspicious wife posed as a teenager online to catch her husband propositioning girls... more

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the poster for TURNING GREEN lies. It showcases Tim Hutton, Colm Meaney, and Allesandro Nivola, but while they’re prominent figures in the film, it ain’t about them. Off in the lower right, with his back turned towards the camera, there’s your protagonist: A teenage boy, played quite engagingly by newcomer Donal Gallery. I can understand the motivation for pitching the name players in your marketing, but really, can’t you at least show the kid’s face?
Granted, beyond that poster, Michael Aimette and John G. Hofmann’s TURNING GREEN has had as convoluted a history as can be imagined: The story of James, a teen who, with his brother, has been shipped by their father to Ireland and who decides to rally up the cash for an escape by peddling contraband pornography to his classmates — much to the displeasure of his bookie boss Nivola and the bookie’s enforcer Hutton — the script was a finalist on the first season of PROJECT GREENLIGHT (the one that ended up producing STOLEN SUMMER — dodged a bullet there, eh, guys?), was actually shot in 2004, has been in release since 2005, and is only now making its U.S. debut. It’s a small film, but a cleverly conceived, beautifully photographed, and well-performed one — as neat a directorial debut as I’ve seen this year. Ben Affleck and Chris Moore should be kicking themselves.
Aimette and Hofmann gave me some insight into the film’s extended genesis and the olfactory-challenging lengths to which Tim Hutton would go to develop a character. Click on the link to hear the interview:

Last month, atheists marked Blasphemy Day at gatherings around the world, and celebrated the freedom to denigrate and insult religion.
Some offered to trade pornography for Bibles. Others de-baptized people with hair dryers. And in Washington, D.C., an art exhibit opened that shows, among other paintings, one entitled Divine Wine, where Jesus, on the cross, has blood flowing from his wound into a wine bottle.
Another, Jesus Paints His Nails, shows an effeminate Jesus after the crucifixion, applying polish to the nails that attach his hands to the cross.
"I wouldn't want this on my wall," says Stuart Jordan, an atheist who advises the evidence-based group Center for Inquiry on policy issues. The Center for Inquiry hosted the art show.
Jordan says the exhibit created a firestorm from offended believers, and he can understand why. But, he says, the controversy over this exhibit goes way beyond Blasphemy Day. It's about the future of the atheist movement — and whether to adopt the "new atheist" approach — a more aggressive, often belittling posture toward religious believers.
Some call it a schism.
"It's really a national debate among people with a secular orientation about how far do we want to go in promoting a secular society through emphasizing the 'new atheism,' " Jordan says. "And some are very much for it, and some are opposed to it on the grounds that they feel this is largely a religious country, and if it's pushed the wrong way, this is going to insult many of the religious people who should be shown respect even if we don't agree with them on all issues."
Jordan believes the new approach will backfireLast month, atheists marked Blasphemy Day at gatherings around the world, and... more
