Jury Decides Artist's Gory Images On Website Are Art

New submitter wilbrod writes "A Quebec special effects artist charged with corrupting morals has been found not guilty in a case that tested the boundaries of creative expression and Canadian obscenity laws. He was charged with three counts of corrupting morals by distributing, possessing and producing obscene material. During the trial, Couture argued his gory works, roughly a thousand images and two short videos that appeared on Couture's website, Inner Depravity, should be considered art. The material in question depicts gruesome murders, torture, sexual abuse, assaults and necrophilia — all with young female victims."

    At least put some thought into your stupid crusade.

    Your 'comment' is so badly constructed it only makes you look like an idiot.

    The Passion isn't a sexualized context, unlike Couture. Why evade the central issue, when the central issue is perfectly clear in your own mind, at the exact same time as you're typing otherwise?

    You seem to be all wound up about the sex part. Maybe you should get some counseling.
