Porn Goes From Xxx To Zzz

[kath]

"Years ago, you could think it was somebody else's problem," says Bruce A. Taylor, president and chief counsel of a Fairfax-based anti-porn group, the National Law Center for Children and Families. "It was a big city problem. A guy problem. A dirty old man problem. But the Internet has put hard-core movies in everybody's home."

Bullshit! BULLSHIT!

Re-read the article...every example of porn in the mainstream has NADA to do with the 'Net. Howard Stern interviews, Opie's flick, Porn Again music CDs, Eminem's music video, books, stories.... and yet they still blame the Internet? Granted the 'Net makes it more available in your own home - privately - but clearly all one has to do is go to the video store, Borders (where they oddly place the erotica section next to the educational textbooks section I noticed this weekend BTW) or Spencers to get porn. Everyone shops there - there is no "shame" in shopping for porn today if it is so readily available.

Sorry - but I have to cry BULLSHIT - this is just another way to blame the Internet for any non-PC behaviors of the public.

I think the last lines were the scariest...we're being set up for prosecution because we're obviously being blamed for everything - the profits being made off porn by Hollywood, the recording industry, the booksellers and the novelty shops....

The National Law Center's Taylor thinks that "the Peter Pan porn period" is in decline. "I think everyone is in the game now," he says. "Most families have people who have seen hard-core porn. A majority of Americans have experienced it. Now they know what's wrong with it."

The anti-porn crusader is arming for new battles. "I still think most of the hard-core pornography is obscene and prosecutable and would be convicted by juries," he says. "I think this is a temporary thing. I think a few prosecutions would turn this thing around."

So I say it again....BULLSHIT!
