Dutch City Fears Loss of Pornography Archive

Posted by samzenpus on from the oh-the-humnaity dept.

The Dutch city of Leeuwarden has lost the municipal pornography archive and officials fear it may be gone forever. A spokesman for the city said the collection may have been taken home "accidentally" by an employee or visitor. "We're hoping that someone will say 'Hey, I have that in my attic' and bring it back," he said Thursday. "No questions asked." Leeuwarden shouldn't be too upset. I've found it a good practice to get rid of your porn archive and rebuild every 6 months or so.

  1. This brings up something interesting. by iamwhoiamtoday · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Pornography has been around for ages, and I mean: since man figured out how to draw stuff. [citation needed]

    Where are the records? I, for one, would think that older porn should be preserved. What about the porn flicks from the 50s? what about the really old playboy magazines? There really should be a "world wide foundation for the preservation of Pornography" Some would argue that it's "History" or "Art."
