PARENTAL NO-WORRY CODE: The Pilsner's Picks trademark is, and always has been, a positive guarantee that the MySpace page bearing it contains only clean and wholesome entertainment. Our code eliminates entirely, rather than regulates, objectionable material. That's why if your child or grandparent or some house guest of yours (invited or not) stumbles across Pilsner's Picks, you can rest assured that it contains only good fun. And we're serious about that! Hey, are we serious, or what? We're so completely, grimly, and relentlessly serious around here that we make the United States Supreme Court look like the Keystone Kops.
Maybe now we've got it all legally covered... we hope.
