    Because porn is bad and it will melt your eyes. In fact we should ban sex too. No more sex in marriage either.

    >>>RTFA - "pornography featuring children, violence, bestiality, and incest"

    None of which should be outlawed (freedom of expression). However the people that produced that stuff should be arrested for child abuse. Too bad the FTC's not going after those criminals, so they'll just keep making more of it.

    RTFA--they were hosting child pornography sites. That's a whole different animal from the usual porn.

    Which animal is in your usual porn?

    ManBearPig, Manimal or a Whoreasaurus?
