I think industrial espionage requires that the offender is infiltrating an industry or company for the sole purpose of spying to obtain information. This doesn't really sound like that to me. Let's not throw terms around that artificially inflate the issue.
This is the exact argument I generally make. It's also the reason that I voted for Michael Badnarik this past election. Did I have any reasonable expectation that he would win? No, but I voted for who I thought was the best person for the job. Isn't that what we're supposed to do?
What requirement do you need to say that something is solicited towards minors. I have a 6 year old son, and I can say that nothing that he watches or reads (ditto for my 13 year old nephew) has adverts for GTA, or Mercenaries, etc. Now, the shows that I watch, and the magazines I read, on the other hand, do. So, I would be more inclined to say that parents are letting their children watch shows they shouldn't be or read mags they shouldn't be if they are seeing ads for GTA, etc.
OK, let's see:
1. As previously mentioned, Tab is requested by Marty McFly in "Back to the Future" (played by Michael J. Fox.
2. Michael J. Fox was in "Casualties of War" with Sean Penn
3. Sean Penn was in Mystic River with Kevin Bacon.
So Tabs Bacon Number is 3.
It seems so innocent, until it's bent for nefarious use (ie - made into a burglary tool). A spoon is just a spoon until it has a black mark on the underside and traces of heroin. Then it's drug paraphernalia.
