Porn sites must have government health warning in Texas from September 1st::Just when we didn’t think the state of Texas could get any more wacko on tech policy, this latest bill really suggests otherwise.

It used to annoy me too but not any more. If people rather post smart-ass remarks than learn about this, it's their choice I guess. But a few of us gets it.
