  Possible upside

  on NY Post Craps On NYC's Plan To Offer Free Wi-Fi -- Because The Homeless Might Watch Porn
  Thinking long-term, and trying for positive emergent outcomes:
  Everyone likes porn (come on....)
  So I bet a lot of non-homeless folks will be watching porn on the network too. Keeps it off their home networks, etc.
  This isn't a bi deal because they are rubbing it out in private. Those people likely won't support an overbroad filter on the public wi-fi, because.. .porn!
  So, it then turns out there really is a problem with the homeless self-pleasuring on the street with their new visual aids.
  Solution?
  Get them all homes!
  They 're off the street, and everyone enjoys free-wi-fi and porn in blissful privacy.

  Beautiful.
  So call him something that points out how insidiously they've subverted things.
