It seems that the problem of men looking at hard core pornography on the computers at the library continues up in Maroochydore, on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. After Alison Sheldon saw a man doing it, and complained to the local council about it, her husband Dr Paul Sheldon presented a petition with over 3,000 signatures to the council, calling on them to install filtering software on the public access computers at the library.
Despite saying this:
"There have been a number of incidents where men have been asked to leave because staff have witnessed them masturbating in front of public computers,"
Councillor Anna Grosskreutz said no action had been taken since the issue was first raised by Dr Sheldon several months ago. Dr Sheldon said when his wife complained to library staff about the man looking at pornography, she was told similar incidents happened "all the time" and it was "too difficult" to install filters.
Not only that but this is supposedly not an isolated instance, or a peculiarly Maroochydore behaviour, with Cr Grosskreutz saying this was an issue facing all council libraries, not just those on the Sunshine Coast.
I guess this latest update answers clearly the questions I posed in my earlier post on the subject. Yes and yes, definitely. Ewwwwww!!!!
Time for some questions of my readers – leave your answers in the comments.
- Ever felt the urge to watch porn, whip the old fella out and whack off when you’re using the computers at the local library (or internet cafe, or any other public place with internet access)?
- Are you aware of such masturbatory shenanigans going on at your local library? I can’t say I’ve ever seen or heard anything re our library here, but they may just sweep it under the carpet (or mop it, undoubtedly more effective in this case than I’d expect a broom would be) and not say anything about it. (Optionally, please include the state/territory/country you’re from, and if you’re a Queenslander, if you are from the Sunshine Coast or nearby ….in the interests of research I am trying to establish if this is some sort of freakish Sunshine Coast thing, or Queensland generally, or maybe it just happens anywhere).
I can’t say that I’ve noticed but I’ll restrain myself from quizzing the librarians in case they think I’m looking for action
Never heard of it in my neck of the woods WA state. I think if I was in my local library and I saw a guy whacking it, I would have to tell him to shut it down and get the f**k outta there!
seems the good doctor andhis wife are part of a religious minority with other agenda to bring forth on the poor people of the sunny coast.
Dicky Beach is to be renamed, the main street of Caloundra is to be renamed – it is currently BulCock Streeet, others to go are Gayandi, Upper Gay, Lower Gay, Queen.
The religous right have won. Time to tuck my tail between my legs and scamper off.
