    "Extreme Associates produced and distributed sexually degrading material that portrayed women in the most vile and depraved manner imaginable,"

    I don't know about that. I've got a pretty good imagination.

    We *love* porn... until it's the kind that doesn't turn us on.

    So if shit eating had taken place while trying to overthrow an evil wizard, it would be okay.

    What a moronic restriction on free speech.

    Carlin had it right: I'd rather my kids saw images of two people making love than of two people killing each other.

    Personally, if I wanted my kids to watch two people trying to kill each other, I woulda stayed married.

    First they came for the porn stars, but I did nothing because I was not a porn star. Then they came for the dirty magazine publishers, but I did nothing because I am not a dirty magazine publisher. Then they came for the pin-up girls, but I did nothing because I am not a pin-up girl.

    And then we had no porn, and no one came for me.
