As usual, the right wingers in America are not very interested in chasing after the anthrax killer (who assisted Bush so excellently!) or bin Laden, they do want to chase down fellow Americans especially those naked hussies doing porn that lures young FBI agents to their doom if they look upon these pulsating bodies for more than 6 hours a day, full pay and benefits. Why, these pornographers even attack the FBI agents in their sleep, like succubi!
The industry's VIPs mingle at political galas and Super Bowl parties. Their product is available on cell phones, podcasts, and particularly the Internet — there it's an attraction like no other, patronized by tens of millions of Americans.It's pornography. And if you're a consumer, John Harmer thinks you're damaging your brain.
Harmer is part of a cadre of anti-porn activists seeking new tactics to fight an unprecedented deluge of porn which they see as wrecking countless marriages and warping human sexuality. They are urging federal prosecutors to pursue more obscenity cases and raising funds for high-tech brain research that they hope will fuel lawsuits against porn magnates.
The minute the Supreme Court let Bush into the White House, fighting porn was his top priority. This is still the case. The born again Christians really aren't all that interested in bin Laden, they want desperately to stop Desperate Housewives and South Park punks.
"It's the most profitable industry in the world," he said. "But I'm convinced we'll demonstrate in the not-too-distant future the actual physical harm that pornography causes and hold them financially accountable. That could be the straw that breaks their back."
I sincerely wish Dr. Freud wasn't so autre. The Bible is probably one of the obscener books around which probably explains why so many people study it so carefully. God ordering the Israeli tribes to cut off foreskins and David boasting about heaping them in piles for Saul, really good stuff!
For every couple driven apart by porn, there are others whose relationship is enlivened, Cambria argued. He dismissed contentions that porn is highly addictive or brain-damaging."Some people lie about it," Cambria said. "It's their way of excusing personally unacceptable conduct — 'It wasn't me, it was porn.'"
Such attitudes infuriate experts on the other side who say online porn is as addictive as crack cocaine.
"The Internet is the perfect delivery system for anti-social behavior — it's free, it's piped into your house," said Mary Anne Layden, a psychologist and addiction expert at the University of Pennsylvania. "Internet porn is probably the biggest miseducation system we can devise in terms of sexuality, misuse of women."
Personally, I can run my own pornographic dreams by my own self, no need for someone else's idea of what is giggly. But some people have rather vapid imaginations and they depend on us artistic types who can draw or carve interesting pictures. The first pornography was carvings of fat women, men represented as sticks or tall stones, why the early chapters of the Bible itself is littered with references to phallic stones that were objects of adoration!
Polls suggest most Americans believe porn should be off-limits to minors and available legally for adults. But groups such as Morality in Media think the public favors tougher enforcement of obscenity laws against hard-core porn; it operates a Web site that forwards obscenity complaints to federal officials."We're not going to get rid of all of it, but we can push it back into the gutter as far as humanly possible," said Morality in Media president Robert Peters, a Dartmouth-educated attorney who struggled in his 20s to kick a porn habit that started in grade school.
Note the need to get Federal Officials to nanny state the porn-crazed right wing males! I have a Biblical solution: cut it off! Throw it over the wall while wailing about Ba'al. Or join the priesthood in the Catholic Church and go directly to rapine, quietly, of course. Or become a Buddhist and meditate instead. On a mountain top. Or visit a headshrinker in the Amazon and get the offending organ, the brain, reduced to a more manageable size!
Another self-described former addict is Phil Burress, head of a Cincinnati-based conservative group called Citizens for Community Values.Like many conservatives, he had hopes that the Bush administration would reverse Clinton White House policy and step up prosecutions of adult-porn obscenity cases as well as child porn cases. Thus far, Burress is disappointed.
"Five years into this administration, they get an F," he said.
Still, Burress is encouraged by the recent formation of an FBI anti-obscenity squad and the appointment of Brent Ward, a former U.S. attorney who combatted porn in Utah, to head an obscenity prosecution task force.
Why not be as brave as Oedipus and just poke yer eyes out with your mother's hat pin? Why torment everyone else? French advertisements for bicycles, for crying out loud, in the "Victorian" 19th Century featured NAKED WOMEN CAVORTING with metal machines in suggestive ways! These were posted on street corners where every urchin in Paris could gaze upon these frolicking Delilahs! And not one, or maybe a few, went insane! Sort of. Well, we know these boys grew up to become French lovers and red blooded American men hate sissy French lovers who can lure unexpecting women into bed and ravish them while being painted or sketched or filmed!
We want gory movies of corpses being disemboweled! Jesus being tortured and then ripped to shreds by he-men, salivating with sexual...argh! Dirty minds must be distracted by pictures of Ann Coulter threatening people and Condi's high heeled boots biting into the Federal Agent's back while bin Laden eggs her on...argh! More dirt! More verbotten thinking!
Think of Barbara Bush! Agggh. Time to amputate all organs.
Right the fuck on! I live in Europe - and people here never cease to be fascinated by America's reaction to nudity and sexuality. Naked breasts and the butts of both sexes are regular staples of TV and print advertising selling everything from bath soap to mineral water. Somehow viewers (including The Children) have managed to avoid shrivelling up like rasins.
Rock on.

More naked women less terrorism, I always say!

Of course. In Europe, showing naked people in ads is a very old tradition!
Here, we pretend we are "young" which means we must be frustrated children all the time, look at old Playboy magazines. Juvenalia.
This is why our whining about Muslims is so hilarious. We want to be sophisticated and then we faint dead away when we see anything even slightly sophisticated.
