Graphic Artists Condemn UK Ban On Erotic Comics
mdwh2 writes "Graphic artists, publishers and MPs have condemned the UK's Coroners and Justice Bill, which will criminalize possession of sexual depictions that appear to show someone under 18 (the age of consent is 16 in the UK), as well as adults where the 'predominant impression conveyed' is of someone under 18, and even if they are merely drawn as being present whilst sexual activity took place between adults. The definitions could include Lost Girls, Watchmen, and South Park. The Comic Book Alliance has launched a petition against the law."
Dear Sasayaki
The IRS has it on good authority that you owe approximately $529,000 in unpaid child support for your children Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson. Our records show you are delinquent on every payment since the birth of each child. Your tax rebate has been rejected and you now owe us $528,500.
Love
The IRS
The IRS will get you no matter where you go, even if you're holding the wrong citizenship.
The difference it makes is that if you've never had kids then you can only reliably argue half the facts, meaning your argument is flawed from the get-go.
This is exactly why I only listen to child molesters.
HAHA, if you are between 16 and 18, it is already illegal for you to watch yourself having legal sex in most countries!
This is exactly why I only listen to child molesters.
I have candy. Now get in the van!
All of my children are fictional drawings, and until you have fictional drawings of your own you can't understand how important it is to protect them with laws like this one. Parents of real children may consider laws like this repressive to artists and irrelevant to public safety, but that's because they don't know the pain of having your beloved pixels molested.
Although drawing a naked baby being raped by guys in rabbit suits might not involve any children who once or ever will exist, it's still obscene.
Yep.
Someone able to imagine so obscene things, with rabbits and so, and put them in a drawing, should be severely punished. 12 months in prision.
Allowing some reduction if the drawings are only drafts and not very detailed.
If they colored them, 6 extra months.
3-6 years for animation attempts.
Ah, and you will no go away free... ./
Expect for at least 3 months for writting the script. 3 extra for making it public in
I'm Homer Simpson you insensitive clod!
Fine art? It contained a lot of nude men and women. Good luck with that.
Fine music? You'll never hear that on the radio, not when the media cartels push untalented "artists" with formulaic lyrics/sounds on the public. Good luck with that.
Dear IRS,
Do you accept drawings of dollar bills as payment?
whereas in Europe (where it's mostly legal, especially the Med beaches), breasts are two a penny and not such a big deal!
Really? I've got like $6.25 on me... can I get some of that brand of fun sent over here?
