You can have my porn when you pry my cold, sticky ha-....

...wait...uh...I mean, nothin', you know...I just SHUT UP.

I'm surprised they didn't complain about nude statues in lobbies.

He needs to step it up and stop watching Cinemax/Skinamax/Sinamax/Climax.

Mugato		2013-04-02 04:02:41 PM

ridding the nation of pornography has become something of a cause celebre among social conservatives.

LOL. Yeah, good luck with that.

CaptSacto		2013-04-02 04:04:05 PM

These people really do NOT understand the magnitude of the fight they're trying to pick.
They have a better chance of banning gay marriage.

NateGrey		2013-04-02 04:11:11 PM

Do Republicans want the government telling people what they can and cant do or watch?

That is so unlike them.

Granny_Panties		2013-04-02 04:12:24 PM

The Party of Freedom and Small Government is at it again.

~~He not only refuses to enforce obscenity laws currently on the books that prohibit the distribution of hardcore pornography, but he even disbanded the office charged with enforcement~~ STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE

Tell you farknuts what. Let's make a deal. You want to start infringing on people's rights, you go first. Let us prosecute you for speaking your mind and we'll let him try to prosecute porn after you're all locked up in Gitmo.

If porn is outlawed, only ~~outlaws~~ everyone will have porn

The other nine winners singled out by Morality in Media include Comcast, Facebook, Google Play, LodgeNet, Twitter, Wikipedia, Cosmopolitan Magazine, Barnes & Noble, and the Department of Defense, which allegedly "has a serious pornography problem, and it is doing next to nothing to combat it."

Why do I get the sense that the fine folks over at Morality in Media are putting a great deal of effort into researching the sources of pornography, often late into the night?

Gergesa		2013-04-02 04:16:59 PM

You just know they are watching hardcore porn for research purposes.

Ambivalence		2013-04-02 04:17:01 PM

Soft on "porn" porn or child porn?

RTFA: oh for fark's sake. Don't those people realize adult porn is not illegal? It's like saying Holder is soft on smoking. Jesus Christ, shut up!

Heh. Wikipedia, seriously?

They really should have included 4chan.

nocturnal001		2013-04-02 04:17:45 PM

So many puns, must resist.

Hard on porn?
Hard-on porn?

kazrak		2013-04-02 04:18:11 PM

Woohoo! I work for one of the top 10!

That's right, I'm busy facilitating porn for you.

I've lived in barracks. I've seen the porn collections in armories where you have one guy on duty 24/7 behind a locked door. Trust me, the DoD has some of their best men working long and hard on pornography. It just doesn't seem like it because they're using an attrition strategy.

Girion47		2013-04-02 04:18:17 PM

Any Republicans mind telling me why a party that professes fiscal conservatism and a reduced role of government in an individuals life is so hardcore about banning gay marriages, abortion, and porn? Isn't this completely out of your mission statement?

Furthermore, I've yet to hear a good SECULAR(because our nation is secular...it is) reason for the ban on gay marriage.

Duck_of_Doom		2013-04-02 04:18:23 PM

They're conservative, not fools. They would never throw a tarp over a nude statue.

AnotherBluesStringer		2013-04-02 04:18:43 PM

+1 Subby. I chuckled.

Ambivalence		2013-04-02 04:18:44 PM

You know, this really gets me. The very same people who think government has too much power and is repressing people's rights seem to be the ones who want government to have too much power and repress people's rights, but just the rights they find "icky".

Can't we just let the free market figure this one out?

Then get the fark off Fark and get back to work. We can't have you lollygagging around when there is porn to be facilitated.

It's frequently reported that in-room hotel porn usage goes up considerably when a conservative political convention is in town. So I figure the anti-porn crusade is a case of these people thinking porn is wrong, but they can't stop themselves, so they want to use the apparatus of the state to stop them instead.

Perhaps there's something similar going on with anti-gay legislation, come to think of it.

/wonder how conservative conventions compare with, say, sci-fi or gaming cons wrt in-room porn

ScaryBottles		2013-04-02 04:21:43 PM

If they had been carrying some porn of their own this would never have happened. From my cold dead hands....

meat0918		2013-04-02 04:25:36 PM

I though the AG's MO was to only step in when it is blatantly illegal (child porn), and uses a relatively soft touch on everything else.

If it's consensual, it's legal, and protected 1st Amendment speech, right?

A Santorum problem can only be fixed with a Santorum solution.

What about the children????

I can't stand the little beasts, lets ban em.

They only allow for the fiscal conservatism and reduced government insofar as it coincides with their stance as the Family Values party. Government should get out of limiting the influence of religious groups and lobbyists, in their eyes. The money saved can then be used to enforce and regulate morality, as that is the best use of government. Not providing for their good and welfare, but giving the illusion of protecting the people from themselves.

This agenda is being pushed my Ambien and the other sleep-aid drugs. How the hell am I supposed to go to sleep with a loaded gun flopping around between my legs?

Last time we diverted government resources to whining about porn, ~3,000 people were killed in a terrorist attack. Coincidence? I think not.

Bill Clinton's transition team prepared a report that bluntly stated that terrorism will be the "paramount" issue in the 21st century.

What was top cop Attorney General John Ashcroft's first meeting about?

You guessed it: porn.

I think Eminem summed this one up well:

maxheck		2013-04-02 04:38:06 PM

I will believe their "concern" when they make a "cause celebre" about human trafficking and prostitution.

Do something about that first. THEN worry about what consenting adults do "because won't someone think of the children?"
