Cartoon smut law to make life sucky for Olympic organisers
Found on The Register on Saturday, 28 November 2009
The horror facing the unpopular Olympics logo is that this is a strict liability offence.
It was the logo's perceived suggestiveness - with many sniggering that it appeared to show Lisa Simpson performing an act of fellatio - that excited internet controversy.
Google variants on "Olympic logo" plus "Lisa Simpson", "fellatio", "blow job", etc and you will quickly turn up several thousand sites and articles which link those topics.
This "similarity" is so far-fetched that it made me laugh. If legislators really have nothing better to do than outlawing images which aren't even pornographic when you're on the worst drugs you can get, then they should look for a new job. I'm sure the human (ie alive) victims of abuse will feel way safer now that drawn porn is getting investigated with all available police forces.
