Catlin left with no opposition after false start at Southwell – Times Online

In farcical scenes 4 jockeys failed to spot the yellow flag indicating a false start & went on to pass the winning post – disqualifying their mounts from the subsequent rerun.

That left Rebellious Spirit to amble round in his own time for a most unlikely 10-1 win. Some bookmakers chose to pay out, whilst refunding all other bets.

This is interesting, but I still think that exposure to both pornography & violence desensitises and leads users to more extreme content.

When I first encountered porn on the Internet about 15 years ago, it was usually the equivalent of glamour shots. Now simply browsing around blogs you’ll very quickly be exposed to hardcore acts and some things you’d never have imagined. How can that be a good thing?
