It's a mind-bottling thing!

I have a confession to make. I actually paid money to see "Blades of Glory," the Will Ferrell movie about two male ice skaters who compete as a team in the pairs competition. If you've ever seen anything with Will Ferrell in it, you can guess it was pretty silly. There was one line in it, though, that I've taken with me. Will Ferrell's character, Chaz Michael Michaels, hears some news, and he says, "It's a mind-bottling thing!" Since then, nothing boggles my mind. My mind gets bottled instead.

This morning, I read a mind-bottling bit in the newspaper. If you are easily offended (even not so easily offended), be forewarned. This is sick!

There is an obscenity trial going on in Pasadena, California. Or at least there was an obscenity trial going on. It has been suspended by the presiding federal judge, because he was found to have posted some obscene things on his own website. The trial was already in progress, and jurors had viewed some pornography sold by a Los Angeles businessman that would make even most pornographers blush. Somehow, the Los Angeles Times got hold of information that presiding Judge Alex Kozinski had some explicit images of his own. Even a general description of what was on the website is obscene, but suffice it to say, it involved more than human participants.

What was Judge Kozinski's reaction? He says he doesn't think it's obscene. "I think it's odd and interesting. It's part of life." Mind bottling, isn't it?!!
