I'm gazing into my crystal ball, and I see the growth of a new industry in Nevada ...

Unless production values have changed over the last 10 years, the adult film industry is the very model of "highly mobile".

And of course, the politically incorrect fact we can't mention is that virtually all of the HIV scares in the adult film industry in the last several years (at least ones that have made the news) have stemmed from male performers who were also involved in homosexual sex. But musn't mention that ...

Porn film owners are democrats. Maybe they should apply for some stimulus funding to help their deflated industry?

Face it, under Obama we're all getting screwed ... one way or another.

did they mention how they intend to enforce this?

It would be easy. You can see in the videos if the law is being obeyed. If it's not, the name of the production company is on the video.

Could you imagine being hired as the guy who has to enforce this?

I'm sure you would find yourself in some sticky situations.

This being California, I'm sure they'll lay off some more cops and firefighters and close some more public libraries to come up with the funding to hire condom inspectors.

Why is that scary? What is wrong with you?

Clinton's Communications Decency Act tried to do just that and was shot down by a unanimous Supreme Court.

With no real people involved, you're advocating absolute control over individual's freedom of expression.

Why would they need permits to film inside a home or privately owned building?

Sorry about that. I don’t start threads often. I thought it was going to add the first 100 words automatically. I did give a link.

—Why is that scary? What is wrong with you? —

I don’t know that anything is wrong with me, beyond the normal stuff (the doctor says I may get out in a few months) Regarding the scary part:

It means that child pornographers can profit, and are therefor incented, by making CGI child pr0n. Sure, maybe no children are exploited in the actual making of the film, but unless you are one of those who advocates that pr0n “releases” the desires that would otherwise well up to cause you to attack real people, it means those who purchase and download this stuff will get the same dosage of the material they get with the “real” and illegal stuff.

And the fact that it is made illegal by the fact that real children are used currently is only part of why it was made illegal, but enough to nip it in the bud. The advent of CGI bypasses the laws and allows the product to be freely sold.

And it is believed by many that pr0n only increases the problem for its customers.

That’s why it’s “scary”.
