It's the word Goddess that probably tripped the filter. Don't know why, but a lot of porn sites use Goddess or some variation of the word in their web addy.
Your friend can use a proxy to bypass the filters. http://www.proxytoolbox.com/
They work.

Handy! Thank you. Let's hope he isn't "subject to civil or criminal penalties" for it! (I mean, don't these people have better things to do than net nanny the juror pool?)

Strangely, they are avoiding the real risk for the justice system; juries who will blog about their deliberation, google their case or twitter friends with insider details.

Of course, Boobies (especially naked ones with nipples) are a leading cause of miscarriage of justice...

It's the advice column, not the blog. I mean, there IS sexual content in the advice column and comments.

Those filters are fairly inconsistent, and some places (like work) proxies are not allowed at all.

They want you to hang around all day in case they need you, then they want you to promise to ignore everthing you already know to render a fair verdict. (I wonder how they found twelve jurors who didn't know of OJ's murder conviction?)

Justice is blind, blind drunk. The law is a game played by lawyers, any resembleance to justice is coincidence. Or have the prosecutors in the Ted Stevens case been disbarred?

"may be subject to civil or criminal penalties." For looking at swimsuits? Draco would have been proud.

Considering the people who show up for jury service, I wouldn't be surprised if there are legitimate fears of someone pleasuring themselves to porn right there in the jury room.

The last time I got called up for jury duty I thought I was on the set of Deliverance... it was amazing how many people were booted after a question or two, mostly about previous jail time.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Before we turn this into a Con-Law case, what does someone's ability to use a publicly provided computer to "...see some bobblers in a bikini...." have to do with the First Amendment?

They didn't say you couldn't go home and view any Web site you wanted to. They didn't try to close down the Web site.

Too many people are already doing things in public they should be doing in the privacy of their own homes. I mean, come on. This morning I watched as a woman tweezed her eyebrows on the subway.

The last time I got called up for jury duty I thought I was on the set of Deliverance....

You look around and you want to call "America's Most Wanted" and tell them "Come quickly. I found everybody."

Hubby got booted from a jury pool because he works in the video game industry. They felt that he wouldn't be friendly towards officers of the law.

Yeah, because we all know that everyone that has any connection with videogames whatsoever is a cop killer.

This is what we get for taking so long to get Jack Thompson disbarred.

Jack Thompson ::shudder::

Though I suppose he's only a minor player the genre of "camera whore who files frivilious lawsuits to get attention" (ahem, Gloria Allred).

A jury of your peers? After most employeed people have gotten themselves excused, and the lawyers have tossed out anyone they think has a brain, what's left?

I dunno how much we can complain about this... It's the same problem at public libraries, too. There's no reason to expect taxpayers to pay for porn delivery to jurors (or library patrons).

Last time I was in a jury assembly room, it was frightening to see TV screens looking down on us as we walked in. But as 60 or 70 of us arrived to wait for assignments, almost all of us opened books. One the TVs was on, but the three people watching it kept the volume low....

(I noticed that as four or five sitcoms reeled out from the thing one after another, there were absolutely zero laughs from the viewers. Not so much as a snicker for 12+ man hours of entertainment. Think about that next time you're planning an evening of distraction.)

...Until 3pm, and then all the sudden both TVs were up and audible. I was trying to read, and thought of complaining... Until I saw that it was Oprah, and that dozens of people in the room were rapt. You might as well try to curse the stars from the sky.

I got called for jury duty -- once. Was supposed to report for three days.

First two days (both minor drug cases, hey, I live in NY), I'm wondering which answers to which questions got me excused:

Judge to prospective jurors: State your name, your city of residence (county court) and any organizations you belong to. TG (wondering what business it is of the court what organizations I belong to unless it is to get a hint of my political leanings): Americans United for Seperation of Church and State; Freedom From Religion Foundation, and American Civil Liberties Union.

Lawyer: Anyone ever know anyone who was addicted to drugs? Ever have a negative experience with a law enforcement officer? Ever been a victim of domestic violence? Ever been abused as a child? Have any family members with mental illness? Divorced? Know someone arrested for drugs? DUI? (These are the ones that I remember off the top of my head.) TG raises hand to all these, is sometimes asked to explain; sometimes not. (At least I said no to using drugs or been arrested for them or DUI myself.)

2nd day was told not to come back following day. Fellow possible jurors in hallway giggle about knowing I'd be dismissed.

That's my one and only (so far) experience with jury duty. It makes for an amusing story any way. Kind of tough to know just what ones got me dismissed. A lot of fellow possible jurors claimed to know I would be as soon as I stated the organizations.

Christ, I don't even blend in a in a jury of my peers. :D I admit. I gave up trying to march to anything other than the beat of my own drum years ago.

Very said to hear that Glen Campbell has Alzheimer's. I am not a big fan of country music, but he is a very talented man.
