Supreme Court: child hentai = CP

[zynthetic]

A Supreme Court judge has ruled that an internet cartoon, in which child characters resembling those from The Simpsons engage in sexual acts, is child pornography.

and nothing of value was lost.
For anyone that disagrees, enjoy *chan while you can.

 

[Zxanphorian]

I wonder if there will be a similar ruling in the SCOTUS.

 

[Kantham]

In a landmark finding, Justice Michael Adams today upheld a magistrate's decision convicting a man of possessing child pornography after the cartoons - depicting characters modelled on Bart, Lisa and Maggie engaging in sex acts - were found on his computer.

Kewl.

 

[T2A`]

That's retarded.

So, if Kantham drew a picture of a nude girl in his notebook and a judge thought she looked underage, he should be labeled a perv and sentenced?

Please.

Luckily, this is Australia, and those idiots are, well, idiots.

 

[Kantham]

That's if I could draw.

 

[T2A`]

So, you would draw CP if you had the talents, eh?

Seems like enough for a conviction. Why don't you have a seat over there?

 

[Kantham]

I don't think I would ever draw child porn actually. The level of sarcasm was over the meter.

 

[The Dopefish]

Sarcasm is a null and void concept in the American legal system. Enjoy your 20+ years in prison plus registration as a sex offender.

Why does he have to pay if it wasn't illegal yet when he did it? Shouldn't this only matter to future instances of the crime? Kinda like banning guns today and convicting people for the possession of guns tomorrow.
I understand why an exception was made for the nuremberg trials and the "crimes against humanity" which were defined as a crime and applied at that very time, but I don't think simpsons porn (lol@the very idea) is severe enough to play in the same league.
Maybe this is handled differently in Australia. In Germany he would have been judged by the law that was active at the time the crime was committed.

Also, if cartoons are handled like cp now, shouldn't this apply to live-action movies with underage characters (even if the actors portraying them are adults) too? I know a few A titles that would fall into that category then. "American Beauty", "L'amant" (sp?), "The Door in the Floor" with Jeff Bridges and Kim Basinger,... I'm sure there's more, but I can't recall any more off the top of my head.

 

[T2A`]

There's a Romeo and Juliet film (I think) with a 16-year-old who flashes her tits. It's one they have shown in schools before. School-sanctioned CP?

Should I be arrested for piracy because I put on my blog that I think people shouldn't buy GTA IV?

Should Kantham be sentenced to prison because he imagined f**king a 12-year-old girl?

This a stupid, slippery slope into a world where people are convicted for crimes they haven't committed.

I hope Australia and its retarded precedents die in a fire.

 

[Kantham]

I hope Australia and its retarded precedents die in a fire.

Or maybe you can just live with the fact that this is at our world end, not bothering with their stupid laws. Also, last time I imagined ****ing a 12 years old was when I was well, 13 years old.

 

[T2A`]

Yes, but you can remember imagining it, so technically you're still imagining it.

Off to jail with you, sucker. >:[

 

[Kantham]

Ok I must admit I lol'ed hard.

 

[Big-Al]

this is lame. typical i suppose. but still pretty stupid.

 

[Jrubzjeknf]

I thought anti-CP laws existed to prevent child abuse. Where do real kids come into play in this situation?

They don't. Drawing CP is as bad as drawing murder. And I've murdered hundreds of things drawn on my monitor. Does that make me a psychopath?

 

[Matfei]

Thanks for laying down the overgeneralisation blanket, T2A`, ya ****.

This story strike a nerve? Worried it'll happen where you live and you'll be persecuted?

**** you. Not everyone in this place is as retarded as the people in the Govt./Justice system.

And as a side note: the vast majority of us hate the state these type of people are putting our nation in - we're descendants of convicts and rough early settler types, not a bunch of prissy pricks.

 

[Gambit84]

actually, someone sent me family guy **** as a joke.

I do agree it is child pornography...if you find yourself interested in it.

I have seen some weird **** on forums...in signatures and such. Think theres something wrong with someone into cartoons in that way...its really creepy. But whatever.

It will be interesting to see if this is ever enforced on a large scale level. BU might need to start deleting sigs.

 

[Jrubzjeknf]

Look, two people who dont get the real issue.

 

[dragonfliet]

Ugh, what an abuse of power. What's next, if an 18yo girl looks like she could be 12, is it child pornography? Even though she's legal, she's representing something that's illegal, right?

Idiot judge.

[Matfei]

The worst part about that dragonfliet is that it's not much of a stretch of the imagination to become reality.

This place is backwards, ****ed up, and about as prudish as Germany is about Nazi references
