Yep, pretty damn hilarious.
Then again, considering their rather horrific view on all porn in general, this hardly comes as a surprise I guess

Well, as you all know, Orwell originally entitled his 1947 effort '1948', but the publishers doubted the longevity of the work with that title, which was why they exchanged the last two digits to come up with '1984', so as you might see, there is no particular reason why the author of '2013' might not have originally named it '1995' apart from the digits don't interchange as readily, but that's not necessarily a major obstacle in the whole context of things as they stand, is it?

I just finallly worked out what he meant.
1984 WAS 11 years ago, on September 11th, 2001. I'm not usually that dumb. Now I see what he was on about. Sorry it took me so long to take off on that tangent and never see the big brother picture.
---------------------------------
If I recall from the quick study I did on Orwell's final masterpiece many years ago, he took around five or six years to write it, finished the final manuscript n 1947, named it '1948' and they changed it to '1984' and then what we got, as the rest of the world was some watered down version but just as intrusive on our freedoms as Orwell predicted, in 2001, in September. I can see what the fellow was on about now. He wasn't mistaken in his mathematics. It was we who were mistaken in our understanding of literature.
Orwell never meant to set a specific date on it when he entitled it 1948. All he implied was 'somewhere in the future', ergo 1984 couild have been any time between JFK and Buck Rogers. It was not meaning arithmetic. Turns out it happened in 2001, but that was by the by. As Orwell predicted, it was bound to happen one day. One day in the future back in 1947. One day in ther past now in 2013, and so Apple is censoring mention of youngsters who just got their drivers' licences because it might be kiddie porn? I reckon I know what they can do with their apple when it comes down to that. What's next, ban me from emailing Charles Dickens' across the web because the word Dickens could constitute a reference to paedophilia?
This is what you get when society loses its sense of morality. Everything suddenly gets censored and we all end up lying in hospital beds being drip-fed chicken shit soup and a black&white tv to watch Dr Phil twice a day.
