In America, Everything Is Porn Now
Warren points this out:

WASHINGTON (Hollywood Reporter) - Tucked deep inside a massive bill designed to track sex offenders and prevent children from being victimized by sex crimes is language that could put many Hollywood movies in the same category as hard-core, X-rated films.

The provision added to the Children's Safety Act of 2005 would require any film, TV show or digital image that contains a sex scene to come under the same government filing requirements that adult films must meet.

... The provision, written by Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., could have ramifications beyond simply requiring someone to ensure that the names and ages of actors who partake in pretend lovemaking as compliance with Section 2257 in effect defines a movie or TV show as a pornographic work under federal law. Industry sources say the provision was included in the bill at the behest of the Justice Department. ...


I'll point out that digital images = webcomics.

I want to work for the branch of Government that reviews this material and decides if it's pornographic or not. 0.0

That would be a great job.

Hold on, I'm not sure yet - think I need to watch it again...

... because, you know, nobody should be allowed to see anything which doesn't involve Jesus, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Joel Ostein, or Kirk Cameron...

That would be quite a sex scene.

This part of their move to try and regulate cable TV now?

Passed along.

Should we deny help to webcartoonists who are victimised by this BS if they voted Republican?
