defrogITEM: As of last week, in the state of Indiana, if you sell sexually explicit material, you must register with the government. Yes, that includes bookstores that sell Piers Anthony novels. Probably.
ITEM: In a stunning act of serendipitous contrast, a new documentary reports that in East Germany, where Western porn was banned, military officials went and made their own porn (albeit it was closer to Carry On films than the Dark Brothers).
Which I think means that there’s still hope for Indiana. You’ll still have sexy books and movies – they’ll just be state-manufactured.
Not that I’m comparing Indiana with East Germany. I’ve been to both, and Indiana is by far a better place to spend a weekend on leave. Still, I can’t believe that anyone who grew up during the Cold War could come up with a law like this without thinking, “Hold on, didn’t the Commies and the Nazis do this kind of thing? And if so, should we really be emulating them?”
Shows how much I know.
And here’s the punch line: the law in question was written by a Democrat. Let’s see Fox News explain THAT.
