A double standard for adult content
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008 at 6:00 pmThis is my opinion on the topic of a bill outlawing the possession of “extreme pornography” which is set to become law next week. Here’s the BBC article
Why does porn get a different set of standards? It’s perfectly legal to show non-pornographic films which contain “an act which threatens or appears to threaten a person’s life”. In fact in many non-pornographic films we see people seriously assaulted or killed yet no-one applies the same standard to these. If adults can tell the difference between fiction and reality in other films why single out films of a pornographic nature for this harsher treatment?
For once my comment spam on this might actually be on topic.

oh dear, some times i have to worry about how close to the US we are sailing…
I like Explosions, I Like Boobs; I am aloud to watch Terminator, and the Matrix (etc) both of which have large bangs, and bits of kinky sexy fun. I am allowed to watch The Unit, CSI, and other such violent boomby things
but a mix?

Was there no deaths from Violent Sex Motavated Crimes before TV, the Internet, etc?
I am sure Victorian London was a lovely place before all this media started coursing people to be bad….
