Australian Judge Rules Simpsons Cartoon Rip-off Is Child Porn
An anonymous reader was one of several to note a bizarre story in which an Australian judge ruled that drawings can be child porn. In this case, it was knock off drawings of the Simpsons doing naughty things. Good thing they're going to be censoring the Down Undernet soon. Who knows what damage this could cause.
This just isn't fair. Lisa never ages...after 20 seasons at 8 years old she has to be fair game by now...who hasn't fantasized about Maggie flying in through your bedroom window naked?
That the new London 2012 Olympic logo will be banned; it does like like Lisa Simpson doing something rather rude.
Oh, you innocent!

Does that mean imaginary numbers are now real too? Because I don't really want to have to learn physics from scratch again!!
It's only a matter of time before this judge goes after Groenig for the murder of Itchy and Scratchy.
You've definately come to the right place here at slashdot, given that you do not seem to understand the difference between nudity and sex;-)

"the mere fact that they were not realistic representations of human beings did not mean that they could not be considered people", said Justice Michael Adams.
The jury of peers, consisting of Popeye, TinTin, Andy Pandy, Bob the Builder, Elmer Fudd and Captain Caveman all agreed. Popeye was heard to say, "I yam what I yam, and if I yain't a person then what yam I? Just a cartoon figure? I thinks not yukyukyukyukyuk".
So, how bad does a drawing have to be before Adams considers that it is not a person? And isn't there something just a little worrying about the sanity of a Justice who believes that a drawing has the same rights as a person?

Those cardboard cutouts of Homer & Marge in the passenger seats? Restricted commuter lanes, here I come.
Oh and the cardboard cutouts of Bart, Lisa and Maggie? Dependents when I file taxes.
The tape that holds them together? That's a medical expense.

You are quite right.
As a brief example, this is child porn:
But this is not (pubic hair implies adulthood):
Ohhhhh... Let's sue all those churches and people who hang those paintings on their walls. Those things are expensive, so they're bound to have money!
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
Fantastic!
Imaginary things are now real!
Imaginary people now have all the rights of real people!
This is fantastic news for the bevy of supermodels who constantly fawn over me and fight for the right to be my love slave. Fantastic news, indeed.

Could be worse, could be Irish. It's a proven scientific fact that the pronunciation of an Irish word has zero correlation with the way it is written.
Note for example "bhfaighfear" being pronounced "wee-hur." I shit you not. But we digress.
