Cuba Is Not Sexy ...

... but freedom of speech is. Manola Blablablanik rarely gets political, but the recent blocking of Sex and the Beach occuring in tandem with the ban of books in Miami warrants not just a slap on the wrist but a proper spanking with a wet noodle the size of Colin Farrell's penis.

But wait. Why is Cuba not sexy? Because it was a place like everywhere else on earth, paradise to some and hell to others. Corrupt and not so corrupt governments came and went, many good things and bad things happened and life went on as usual just like everywhere else on earth. And just like everyone else on earth, Cuba was special to some people who called it home.

And then many years later, after these Cubans became Americans and called Miami home because they wanted to live in a place where they could say whatever they wanted, another man who looked like a chimpanzee came and said that they could no longer say whatever they wanted, and just like everywhere else on earth, history repeated itself.

Cuba is not sexy ... but freedom of speech is.

Here's what Manola recommends to the Miami-Dade School Board: instead of banning books, go have sex on the beach, for freedom's sake. You'll be doing this community a favor and maybe -- just once -- we could all have a collective orgasm of relief.

Oh! Look at this: not only is it more important than the size of Colin Farrell's penis, it's actually a fine example of irony. There are folks in America creating independent libraries in Cuba!
