Here we go again

The Justice Department, with the investigative help of the FBI and the LAPD (Good thing there isn't anything more important to use these resources on, like say, terrorism or gang crime), has indicted yet another porn company on obscenity charges. Evil Angel Video is going to have to answer in court for daring to produce such filth as Milk Nymphos, Storm Squirters 2 and a trailer for the movie Fetish Fanatic 5.

(Jeez, if the trailer is that titillating, imagine what the actual movie is going to be like. I may just have to order it to find out. Nah, it's probably not my kink. But it is somebody else's, and who is the government to tell them that they can't watch it?)

The Feds apparently haven't yet learned their lesson about the difficulty of prosecuting a company that uses consenting adults to produce fare that consenting adults wish to view, and which doesn't involve children, animals, or butterscotch Jell-O (Maybe there's Jell-O, but boy, I hope not):

"Stagliano and Evil Angel are represented by Al Gelbard, who successfully defended JM Productions principal Jeff Steward in an obscenity case late last year. The government dropped all charges against Steward and JM for lack of evidence." (Emphasis mine)

Then why did they file charges in the first place, if there was no evidence to convict? Harassment, perhaps? Sending a "message" to other companies that they could be next?

Pamela Satterfield of the Obscenity Production Task Force is going to be the one wasting thousands of your tax dollars in this latest Quixotic quest to control what free Americans choose to view in their private homes. That's the real "obscenity" in this case, if you ask me.

D*mn straight.
censorship has gotten out of control in this country.

It's much closer to "wasting millions" than thousands, unfortunately.

All this great news in the midst of a dying dollar an as international currency, gang wars, illegal hoards storming the boarder and a government out of whack. Memo to government employees: if you don't like it do what I do and don't watch it. Don't squander my hard earned tax dollars in an effort to "protect my morals" when I am capable of doing it myself. Simple, huh?
