"Sorry, your boobs are too small for porn"

As if censorship in my country couldn't get any wierder. You may remember the guy who was convicted a year ago of possessing child pornography because he had a doodle on his computer of Bart and Lisa Simpson having sex with each other. Australian law states that even drawn pictures that depict an underage person having sex is illegal, not just photographs.

Well, it appears that that same law is having other unexpected effects. It turns out that local pornographic magazines are avoiding purchasing legally made photo sets from the USA if the woman has small breasts. The theory being that a small-breasted woman could theoretically look underage.

Thus:
:
Even if you are 18 years old but you look younger, taking a photograph of your breasts and uploading it to the Internet could land you or someone you know in serious trouble.
Personally, I think that that article takes the wrong approach to this issue in talking about societal standards and body image. The people looking at these magazines are not self-conscious, flat-chested women. They're men who are going to develop unlikely standards of beauty. And leaving that aside, this law is just plain dumb.

Also, according to the last section of the article, depictions of Golden Showers are illegal. I mean, they're distasteful, yes, but why the hell would the government ban such an inane and harmless thing?

Doesn't seem right... Hmm...

I'm more interested in that other story though, about that guy with the Simpson pictures.

Poor disturbed fella. According to an article in the Brisbane times (or QLD times I don't remember exactly), the guy was also arresting for having pictures depicting pornographic situations with the Powerpuff Girls. So he obviously wasn't right in the head.

The real issue here IMO is that we are very immature yet as a society; in stark contrast to how 'advanced' we perceive ourselves to be and in how 'mature' the lot of us think we act.

I think we are all a bunch of school children on a spherical playground.

It is pretty fucked up but I don't see why the guy was convicted for it and called a sex offender. The characters don't actually exist, no little girls or boys were actually harmed psychologically IRL.

i know, they are not real, its just creativity. The guy should have said "Its not the simpsons, its a made up drawing of two people who are 18 and happen to look like them.". Maybe that would have gotten him out of it. But seriously, the goverment is just bored.

I'm curious as to where Australia stands on the whole "art porn ≠ child porn = rape or no rape" equation.

I mean of course the whole argument over whether or not providing pedophiles and rapists with some form of spank-fuel (ie artwork where no actual children are depicted) keeps them satisfied or just makes them even more insatiable.

There was this guy, Bill Henson who displayed this In a Sydney art gallery. The artwork was confiscated but I don't think any charges where laid.

http://www.sauer-thompson.com/junkfo...uncensored.jpg

I think this is ridiculous. Just because a nude person is involved doesn't mean it’s sexual. I mean look at our Australopithecus ancestors. They where nude but it didn't mean they where shagging every minute of the day.

MOD EDIT: I put this as a link as it may be questionable in some countries, don't follow the link unless you live in a nice liberal country.

There wasn't any implication that he'd found the pictures erotic. He might have just had them as a joke.

Sorry, Abe619. Use a condom. Be safe.

Don't worry about breasts being absent from the image. We weren't going to fantasise (or at least, I hope nobody was).
