- thegrantman, on 12/30/2008, -0/+171The law was passed earlier this year following a mother's emotive campaign after her daughter was killed by a man who claimed he was addicted to violent porn.
1.Take an emotionally charged and statistically insignificant story.
2.Ignore the facts.
3.Legislate on fear.
4.Remove personal freedoms.
5.Repeat as necessary until freedom is only a convenient illusion. - godphase3, on 12/30/2008, -0/+132"Yesterday, a spokeswoman from the Ministry of Justice said the new law would only be used to target the most extreme cases. "The new offence only covers the possession of images, it does not limit private sexual behaviour," she said."
Fantastic. We an do whatever we want consensually but if we take a picture of it then we can be arrested. This is a pathetic piece of legislation. - niradg, on 12/30/2008, -1/+90slippery_slope.begin()
- Takfam, on 12/30/2008, -2/+75When they came for the scheisse videos
I remained silent;
I was not a coprophiliac.
When they locked up the bestiality
I remained silent;
I was not a furry.
When they came for the bdsm,
I did not speak out;
I was not a dom or sub.
When they came for the hentai,
I remained silent;
I was not an otaku.
When they came for my secret DVD collection,
there was no one left to speak out. - CaptCarrot, on 12/30/2008, -0/+71Here's the Catch-22 of eliminating the extreme end of anything -- once you've eliminated it, the thing that was "almost at the extreme end" is now "the extreme end," and no one informs the legislation.
- forladiesonly, on 12/30/2008, -3/+74Does this mean I have to delete the "pain olympics" from my desktop?
- centran, on 12/30/2008, -4/+47I am torn! Should I digg you up for being funny or should I digg you down so the uninformed do not search for pain olympics... I think I will digg you up and warn people.
DO NOT SEARCH that term! You will be sorry. You can not un-see! - DivisibleByZero, on 12/30/2008, -2/+39Is it wrong that comments like that make me want to search for it even more? Soon as I get home from work....
- inactive, on 12/30/2008, -2/+38what is with the UK and it's ever growing nanny state?
- StuartGibson, on 06/14/2009, -0/+35Amazing, isn't it? It's like how an 18 year old can legally ***** his 17 year old girlfriend, but can be put in jail and placed on the sex offenders register for life as a paedophile if he takes a picture of her naked.
- wenomspitta, on 12/30/2008, -0/+31"appears likely to result in serious injury to someone's genitals or breasts."
what? is circumsision getting baned also?
just asking 0.o - Hetman, on 12/30/2008, -0/+31What is extreme porn? Violent, Gross? I mean personally I do not like the idea of people peeing on one another. But do I think the government should be wasting tax money trying to find and throw these people in jail. No. To quote the boondocks. If someone was about to p on me I would move the hell out of the way.
- CaptCarrot, on 12/30/2008, -1/+31The only legislation I'd like to see on adult-involved pornography is that I should be given a 20 second warning before "Two Girls, One Cup" flashes onto the screen.
- magicalhobo, on 12/30/2008, -0/+30I have that job. It's called being unemployed.
- mulling, on 12/30/2008, -1/+31I look forward to the UK government's mandatory diaper policy for all adults.
- centran, on 12/30/2008, -0/+29extreme is a relative term
- Jade10145, on 12/30/2008, -4/+31NOT THE PORN, WE ***** NEED THAT!
- redfox2600, on 12/30/2008, -1/+28"Oh, now I'll need a fake ID to buy ultra porn." - Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth
- OrangeTide, on 12/30/2008, -0/+23please render it in ASCII art or MS Paint so I can see it without seeing it.
- regicide, on 12/30/2008, -0/+212 [Censored] 1 [Censored]
- dronesixtyten, on 12/30/2008, -2/+23Sounds like opponents of this bill are really in a knot.
- mynameisteejay, on 12/30/2008, -2/+22Am I the only one who clicked on this just because it said PORN in giant caps?
- inactive, on 12/30/2008, -1/+20How come every time I see a British chick, I automatically think she's into totally deviant stuff? Must me the accent.
- emkaysmith, on 12/30/2008, -0/+19"Yesterday, a spokeswoman from the Ministry of Justice said the new law would only be used to target the most extreme cases. "The new offence only covers the possession of images, it does not limit private sexual behaviour," she said."
That's what they all say. Until they decide to expand the definitions -- for our own good. - kkkondorrr, on 12/30/2008, -0/+19I saw that porno, eight thumbs up.
- StuartGibson, on 06/14/2009, -0/+18@DivisibleByZero - waiting to get home is probably the best call you've made all year.
Is it bad that I can watch the pain olympics without flinching? - QreepyBORIS, on 12/30/2008, -0/+16Nope, just taking pictures of it.
- StuartGibson, on 06/14/2009, -1/+17It's ok, we don't get the right-wing religious nutjobs.
- greenlight2001, on 12/30/2008, -0/+16Dude, from the sound of things, you're missing out on all the good stuff!
- Eezyville, on 12/30/2008, -1/+16It just happened. No apparent reason. No scientific proof, no research, it just is.
- alexforcefive, on 12/31/2008, -0/+15we don't have time for science, we're protecting the children!
and, err, the consenting adults! - GregLoire, on 12/30/2008, -0/+15Digging him down would just increase the searches, since people would want to know what's so bad about it. Digging him up would give the impression that it's just a harmless reference to some kind of porn, which may or may not be all that extreme.
Of course, now our 2 comments have made the number of diggs he has pretty moot. :( - clipeuh, on 12/30/2008, -0/+15OH F*** I JUST GOOGLED IT :(
- Slydevil01, on 12/30/2008, -0/+14Fantastic. You hit the nail on the head: "Take an emotionally charged and statistically insignificant story"
Clarity of mind and common sense shall reign as long as thegrantman lives among us. - Csaliture, on 12/30/2008, -2/+15Dont listen to them. The pain olympics is totally work safe. Those guys are full of it. I suggest you turn up your sound and full screen it to get the most enjoyment possible out of your viewing experence.
- TonyLocNE, on 12/30/2008, -0/+13This would seem to be rather ambiguous as "extreme porn" is rather subjective and only relevant to each person.
- theOster, on 12/30/2008, -0/+13is SWAP.AVI considered extreme?
- inactive, on 12/30/2008, -0/+12Just wondering, Where did the Magic Age Barrier originate from? I never knew.
- Voxxov, on 12/30/2008, -1/+13the UK's only a couple laws ahead of us here in the states tho....
- cowboy86, on 12/30/2008, -2/+14Does the mean the end of "2-Girls-One-Cup?"
- ElGubrush, on 12/30/2008, -2/+14Can we ban SAW movies then? I am so sick of that tripe.
- rald84, on 12/30/2008, -0/+11basically, the US already allows prohibition of "obscene" images, such as two girls one cup.
The video originated from a Brazilian, Marco Fiorito, who describes himself as a "compulsive fetishist".[9] Fiorito originally produced foot fetish videos but soon moved on to coprophagia. The film was produced by MFX-Video, one of several companies owned by Fiorito.[9] Fiorito contends his films are legal in Brazil, but authorities in the United States have branded some of his films as obscene and filed charges against Danilo Croce, a Brazilian lawyer living in Florida, listed as an officer of a company distributing Fiorito's films in the United States.[9] Croce accepted a plea bargain and was sentenced to 3 years of unsupervised probation and forfeiture of $98,000.[9] Fiorito claimed he did not know his films were illegal in the United States and that his films often contained chocolate instead of feces to appease some of his actors who were willing to appear in scat films but not actually eat fecal matter.[9] - magicalhobo, on 12/30/2008, -0/+11I'm sure there is bubble wrap porn and I'm sure that it is too extreme.
- hamandcheeseUK, on 12/30/2008, -0/+11This is ***** *****.
- BleedingHollow, on 12/30/2008, -0/+10***** THE GOVERNMENT how about you try governing ***** politicians?? You know the ones that use taxpayer money on women to do the very things you want to get banned.
We already pay an exorbitant amount in taxes so stfu and stay out of peoples entertainment. Conservative ***** don't understand values don't equal policies. Keep it separate! If you think it's offensive then don't click on the images, try teaching yourself that.
Now on a different note, how is it fair for America to bailout company's that are dying but, It's OK do try to kill off a thriving business online??????????
Also <incoming slippery slope>
quote "An image is deemed to be extreme if it "is grossly offensive, disgusting or otherwise of an obscene character"
some people might say this about fat porn is that next? then gay? then all? - domdunc, on 12/31/2008, -0/+10The most outragious part is that it outlaws:
""is grossly offensive, disgusting or otherwise of an obscene character" and portrays in any way an act which threatens a person's life, or which results or appears likely to result in serious injury to someone's genitals or breasts."
Whoops, throw out all your horror DVDs. You are now a criminal.
Let me just clarify that it outlaws something that APPEARS TO THREATEN A PERSON'S LIFE. Not IS THREATENING A PERSONS LIFE. My blood is boiling. - djpray2k, on 12/30/2008, -0/+10I'm sick of people trying to blame the easiest scapegoat.
- greenlight2001, on 12/30/2008, -0/+10*Gets a raging [Censored] just at the mention of [Censored]*
- Gorgamel, on 12/31/2008, -0/+10I see a new kind of revenge:
Take a naked chick in front of their security camera and start ***** her, then pretend-choking her. They will be breaking the law by recording it.
This legislation is so stupid. - mpn401, on 12/30/2008, -1/+11Only thing left is the law mandating bubble wrap around everything and everyone.
