Court Reinstates Proof-of-Age Requirement For Nude Ads

Posted by timothy on from the barely-legal dept.

arbitraryaardvark writes "An Ohio swinger's magazine objects to keeping proof on file that its advertisers are over 18. I reported here in 2007 that the 6th circuit struck down U.S.C. Title 18, Section 2257 as a First Amendment violation. The full 6th circuit has now overturned that ruling. The case might continue to the Supreme Court. The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports."

    It's a swingers' magazine. Do you have any idea what swingers look like? Trust me... the lack of pictures is a plus.

    Yep. There is a bright future in governmental service for that gentleman.

    it's pretty implicit if not entirely explicit (no pun intended) under this topic heading that we're talking about nude models. I am stupider for reading your comment.
