Graphic Artists Condemn UK Ban On Erotic Comics

Posted by kdawson on from the at-least-get-the-age-right dept.

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."

    It totally makes sense. The polticians are not stupid. They are very very good. Just not for you.
    Look at who profits from this, and you know why they did it.

    Same as Obama getting most of his spendings from banks and the media industry. (Or so I heard. Don't rip me apart if you got contradicting facts.)
