Drive-by p0rn. A driver in Schenectady, New York, was arrested last month after rolling past police with a DVD titled "Chocolate Foam" playing on the visor in his Mercedes-Benz. X-rated peepshows are making appearances in vehicles, arguably visible to other motorists. The question is whether a problem exists. And if so, are laws going to help or make it worse? Given the Bush administration's interest in cracking down on immoral behavior, this may become a popular issue with American legislators.

  • Chocolate Foam II: Santorum Strikes Back was way better than Chocolate Foam I.
  • I prefer my cockpunch sans chocolate foam.
  • No cocoa in today's smoothie, that's for sure. Ugh....

  • Geez, not one serious reply? Guess I'll stick to MetaFilter.
  • You know, all my outrage was used up a couple of days ago.
  • ditto.
  • timmus: "Serious reply"? What would a serious reply be? The guy was doing something stupid and he was found out. Where do we go from there? And, what do you think MeFi's response would be?
  • Geez, not one serious reply? Guess I'll stick to MetaFilter. On the other hand, nobody's called you a preening delusional asshat yet. Which I, naturally, am not doing.
  • timmus, I think the lack of "serious replies" may just be a sign that this story doesn't raise any serious issues. It seems fairly clear from the article that (a) such cases are extremely rare, and (b) legislation already exists to deal with them. The question is whether a problem exists. And the answer is no. But please don't be discouraged from posting again.
  • In fact, consider yourself encouraged to post again. The more voices the merrie, mary, mari---the better. Seriously, don't be discouraged if that's what it is. If it's the tone, well, that's how we like it over here. We do do (heh) serious discussion well at least in my opinion. Sometimes we have fun though. We are monkeys after all. /No words exist for the state of drunkeness I currently inhabit.
  • There seem to be many Anonymouses popping up. If you no longer wish to post at Monkeyfilter, please do not delete your account, as then it disapeers and confuses me. Thank you.
  • Its a shame really, that people feel so offended by us (or maybe embarrassed) that they have to destroy all evidence of ever being here. I'm sorry for chasing you away, timmus and verstegan - come back, come back, come back and play
  • And welcome back, jb. I haven't seen you here in a while. Thought you'd upped and left us for more exciting playgrounds, like that evil Dizzy...
  • No - just went to visit my wonderful homeland of Canada, where we have igloos and contact the internet with string and tincans. Actually there is plenty of high-speed in Canada, my mum just doesn't have it. So rather than wait over the limited dial-up (10 hours a month), I decided that monkeyfilter would have to wait. I'm honoured anyone noticed I wasn't posting, thank you. I will miss verstegan, he/she posted quite regularly.
