Safe at any light speed

Well, I know we're all breathing a sigh of relief that the hugely obscene Asimov's Science Fiction is out of the hands of children. [via LISNews]

Asimov's responds:

Reporter Kristi Andersen and the News 8 anchors portrayed Asimov’s as a pornographic magazine. They characterized it as "full of sexual content," "an adults-only magazine," and said that it "contained stories about sex, drugs, and molestation." Probably because it doesn’t fit with their one-sided characterization, they did not mention that Asimov’s is a highly respected literary magazine. Its stories have won numerous awards, including at least 40 Hugo awards and 24 Nebula awards.
