Man in Court Over Simpsons Porn
Ever get the urge to look at pornographic drawings of famous cartoon children? Neither do I, but 28-year-old Kurt James Milner did, and that's what got him registered as a sex offender. Police received a tip about the pornographic material and eventually found images featuring child characters from The Simpsons and The Powerpuff Girls on Milner's computer. Back in 2008, a Supreme Court judge in Australia ruled that cartoons in which child characters engage in sexual acts is child pornography. Milner said he downloaded the images to show them to his friend 'because he believed they were funny.' Guess it's not so funny now.
Treating this material differently is merely a way to punish people modern society considers "creepy." That's all.
As we rightly should! If today we allow this, then tomorrow it might be acceptable for fat guys in beards to dress in sailor moon outfits. And when we start to allow that, then humanity's slide into depravity will be unstoppable.

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
At this point I'm picturing Nelson Muntz popping up in the courtroom, shouting HAH-Ha! at the judge, and then running off. (And just to be clear, it's not a naked Nelson Muntz).

Australia is putting people in jail? This seems oddly redundant.

Oh , and I must point out how brilliant the Queensland police are:
but a year later police forensic experts recovered 64 images of cartoon child exploitation material in the machine’s recycle bin.
The fool ! He should have known that cartoon characters don't recycle ! You have to use *the Dip* !

Aren't the simpsons kids over 20 years old now?
You wrote "naked boy toddlers", please report yourself to the nearest police station.
Thanks.
That's for sure. Who wants to see cartoon characters having sex, anyway?
Now excuse me, I've got to go back to playing Dragon Age:Origins. I think Morrigan is almost ready to give it up.
You are welcome on my lawn.
You could impale yourself on the pen. Attempted suicide is illegal in some places.
