A supporter of the latest advances in nannyism can be found here, complete with a few comments. And, see "When cybercafes are outlawed, only outlaws..." And, SoCalLawBlog, source for this here news item, cites a case that will probably result in this being overturned.
UPDATE: Via this comes a report from the industry rep who negotiated the ordinance with our nannies. He thinks it's a victory for the industry, as it could have been worse. Yes, it certainly could have been.
