Okay, as...well, laughably strange as Simpsons porn must be, as as creepy as images of Bart and Lisa doing whatever must be, how can this possibly be "child pornography"?
There are no children. It's a two-dimensional image of fictional characaters, not remotely realistic or human looking.
Now, lets face it, we've all seen some strange Anime or fan art of superheroes (it's usually very poorly done), but will that too oneday be considered a crime?
quote:But in a landmark ruling he decided that the mere fact that they were not realistic representations of human beings did not mean that they could not be considered people
Soon they'll have the right to contribute to political campaigns....
Your opinions on this?

"He ruled that the animated cartoon could 'fuel demand for material that does involve the abuse of children,' and therefore upheld the conviction for child pornography."
So, looking at pictures of naked cartoon children will make the guy want to look at pictures of real naked children, therefore the naked cartoons must be banned. By that logic, looking at pictures of clothed children will probably make the guy want to look at pictures of naked children, therefore all pictures of children should be banned.

I can understand the judge's logic honestly. Pedobear pr0n, regardless of form, style or type (live action OR animated) is still Child Pr0n as far as Aussyland law is concerned. What worries me is possession. i clip art lots of stuff in my pics, for the love of art, and that includes pr0n. As a responsible adult, its up to me to decide what is proper and what ISN'T.
Does this law mean that folks with japanesse hentai, like from edited by me or even edited by me might fall to the overzealousness of religious fuck-jobs? OReily needs to worry about Christians, not just Muslims...

Oh yeah- all that anime stuff is now somwhow a crime..and anyone having any is too. Even if you drew the stuff yourself, you somehow be "guilty".
Thoughtcrime is right around the corner from this...I'd bet the same judge would determine that a book with a written depictioin of such things would need to be banned. Maybe burned.

Probably would indeed, actually. A written depiction of children having sex with adults would actually be *more* logically considered 'child porn' than a drawing of a Simpsons character.
I'm ashamed to live in this century right now, honestly....turning morals into overzealousness and laws into chains...what's become of us :-/ (Not that I'm one of those "good-ole-days-of-nature-harmony" hippie types....)

I'll go with the "it shouldn't be illegal, but I really wouldn't want to sit near the bloke at any point" argument.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
