Recruits Sought for Porn Squad!
Yes, with everything else domestic and foreign going swimmingly, the POTUS & Co take a page from the Gipper's playbook and seek to criminalize depicting the nasty. Somewhat discussed here, here, here, here, here, *inhale* . . and probably a bunch of other places.
-
Because America hates sex.
-
*head explodes*
-
was that a euphemism?
-
From quid's link: The two sides quickly fell into a predictable legal dispute, which dragged on until earlier this year when the Bush administration itself decided to get involved and passed the Family Movie Act, which sanctioned what the sanitisers were doing and was signed into law explicitly to make the legal challenge from the Hollywood bigwigs - among them Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese and a host of other first-rank directors - vanish into the judicial ether. ... CleanFlicks, on the other hand, not only modifies the films without permission, but then makes money on the basis of those modifications. Without the Family Movie Act, it seems likely the company would have fallen foul of the law and lost its legal battle with the Directors Guild *bits of exploded head burst into flame*

America hates sex But loves war. Weird, huh?
-
Lovely visual image Koko, me likes! Where the hell is my soma pill!?!? Bring on beaker copulation! Bokanovsky! *looks for morocco-surrogate cartridge belt*

I wonder what kinds of benefits come with the job, aside from the obvious ones.
-
progressive raises.
-
I wonder what kinds of benefits come with the job, aside from the obvious ones. Tax cuts for the rich! Shit, sorry, wrong thread.
-
I really don't know why the US doesn't cash in big-time on its excessive population of sluts and other loose women. What's more important, after all, cold, hard cash or double-morality?
-
i've commissioned cleanflicks to make me a family-friendly version of debbie does dallas.
-
It's been retitled "Debbie Dallas". heh heh . . 'tit' . . heh
-
it's so inspirational, too - she decides she wants to be a cheerleader, and *boom* five minutes later she's on the squad. kinda short, though.
-
But what will we now do with all that racy footage on the cutting-room floor? Could we splice it into family fare? I personally would find FINDING NEMO much more tolerable if I knew that Bambi Woods was waiting for me at the end.
-
"Sluts and loose women?" Where? But the closest bit of America is Buffalo -- I probably don't want a Buffaloian slut. Or do I? Think, Captain, think...
-
Is there a service that can edit out everything *except* the sex scenes from movies?
-
Yes, the brain of a 14 year old.
-
Already got one.
-
In a jar?
-
I keep in in the body of a 40 year old.
-
rocket88, you're clearly a slavering liberal preoccupied with his nether regions. No wonder we need to divert our attention from terrorists who are similarly preoccupied with your nether regions.
-
In Germany pron is perfectly acceptable but violence is not. In America violence is, but not porn. You can die in horrible gruesome ways here as long as you have your clothes on... Which is the worse evil? The violence says I.
-
Good point. People are making a joke of this out of uneasiness. We in America are clearly not comfortable with the skin. So we go for violence, which clearly has a winner and a loser, unlike sex. And that works.
-
Is that a weapon of mass destruction in your pants, or are you just glad to see me?
-
Anybody selling Porn Squad t-shirts?
-
I call it my Weapon of Mass Seduction.
-
s\b "Weapon of ASS Seduction." Woohoo!
-
So we go for violence, which clearly has a winner and a loser, unlike sex. Mmmmhh... oh, if only... *sigh*
-
There was a show on Trio called Good Clean Porn where the sex scenes were edited out to allow "the viewer to focus on those moments which best illustrate the skills of the writers, directors and most importantly, the performers who set the plot in motion and keep it going and going and going." Heh. It was a funny show. Their version of Debbie Does Dallas lasted almost 30 minutes, with commercials.
-
Good point VoL. All the more hypocritcal of the "Peace President" Fadministration. But i digress. Did someone mention boobies?
-
"The country is not as open as it once was about sex," says sex educator Jamye Waxman. "The current administration is definitely a police force when it comes to sexuality and sex education." Gawd-uh . . . sayad-uh . . . its-ah SIYAN-uh!
-
pete, you're nastay.
-
So we go for violence, which clearly has a winner and a loser, unlike sex. Does it count if sex makes me feel like a loser?

More obscenity crackdowns: FBI shuts sex text site, court rules against adult shops.

dang. scooped by the h-dogg.

I post wit a quickness.

Speaking from the back of a flatbed truck equipped with a wood chipper, Cabaniss explained the book mulching was “symbolic” of what he would like to do with some 70 titles in the library collection that he characterized as “filth and smut that have polluted our libraries.” This should not be construed as an invitation to "mess" with Texas.

Masturbation lights up your brain like a parade. It makes you stop talking to your wife. Yes, just another day at the Senate hearing on pornography. (Salon, daypass, etc.) They must choose between masturbating at a computer and finding sexual satisfaction with their wives. "If they go to their wives, well, just practically speaking, they have to make sure they have done all of the chores around the house they were supposed to do. They need to have a half-an-hour conversation about what they did that day," said Paul. This courtship could take up to an hour and a half. By contrast, she said, it takes "five minutes to go online." So very . . unh . . . true. oops

Police seize computers of BDSM webcam site operator
-
Deputy Chief Carl Sferrazza said the Montano Road house was searched in November and that no charges have been filed against the woman, Michelle Silva. He would not say what kind of criminal activity is being investigated. Sferrazza said investigators seized computers along with a number of other items, which he would not specify. Um, this may have changed under the rain of King George, but don't they have to say why they took all your stuff?

"Now let's go inside and get some porn!"

Thailand blocks access to porn website that uses images of Buddha
-
I always am disappointed When Elvis Costello takes his stockings off. --TP
-
Because nothing is as sex-ay as religion! And now said website has free publicity, thanks to the Thai gov't and the AP. Ach. *struggles with tortuous pun about hot bodhis, fails*

homunculus, why use porn when there's a military precedent?
