Fake Simpsons cartoon ‘is porn’
An appeal judge in Australia has ruled that an animation depicting well-known cartoon characters engaging in sexual acts is child pornography.
The internet cartoon featured characters from the Simpsons TV series. The central issue in the case was whether a cartoon character could depict a real person.
Judge Michael Adams decided that it could, and found a man from Sydney guilty of possessing child pornography on his computer…
Justice Michael Adams said the purpose of anti-child pornography legislation was to stop sexual exploitation and child abuse where images of “real” children were depicted…
He ruled that the animated cartoon could “fuel demand for material that does involve the abuse of children,” and therefore upheld the conviction for child pornography.
For me, this is a judge making a political decision about a law which hasn’t been properly or appropriately defined. Aside from the fact I consider the decision patently absurd.
It’s just another pre-preemptive strike at ‘Imaginationland’, a very dark and dangerous place. We need to do away with it, PDQ. Nuke it, sez I!
Personally, I can’t wait until they perfect The Truth Machine and modern civilization can finally declare total war on our very own imaginations.
After Political Correctness, unrestricted war on our imaginations is the next obvious crusade by the compulsive do-gooders, who want nothing more or less than to control every aspect of our lives, including our once-private thoughts.
This could backfire! I can’t wait to find out what evil is resident in the imaginations of the do-gooders themselves! I’d be willing to bet it’s a very dark place in there indeed.
