CCV, Dobson Allies, Want Porn Eradicated From Hotel Cable Line-Up
From Dobson's Ministry of Propaganda


LodgeNet Entertainment Corp., a company that supplies pay-per-view movies to America's hotels, is under fire for making most of its profits off hardcore pornography.

In August, family advocates will ask the Department of Justice to investigate and bring charges against the company.

Phil Burress, president and executive director of Ohio's Citizens for Community Values (CCV), said much of the content in question is prosecutable under the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Miller v. California.

"Why is LodgeNet permitted to deal in hard-core, sexually explicit, clearly prosecutable material?" Burress asked. "The U.S. Supreme Court set down guidelines for what is prosecutable."

Burress said more than 60 percent of the LodgeNet's profit is gained from pornography.

Daniel Weiss, senior analyst, media & sexuality for Focus on the Family Action, said not only did Miller v. California determine that states could ban hardcore pornography, federal law prohibits obscene material from being distributed across state lines.

"That is what happens with both Internet and satellite distribution, such as is used by LodgeNet," he said.

Obscene material, as determined by the high court, is defined as "patently offensive representations or descriptions" of sexual acts either "actual or simulated" as determined by community standards.

"It will take a jury trial to determine whether the material in question actually violates community standards," Weiss said, "but we believe the content is clear enough to warrant an investigation at the very least.

"Based on state and federal law, if the material distributed by LodgeNet was brought to trial, many communities across the country would clean up overnight."

Best thing to do when you're under investigation for multiple violations of the Election Law: Go on a Jihad.

Sooner or later, the supreme court will take a case to decide once and for all about whether internet porn distribution meets the old "across state lines" legal model. Sadly, now that Bush has stacked the court with douchebags, we can already predict the outcome. And it won't be good for internet porn.

if they go after internet porn all bets are off...joe sixpack may be cool with the guvment listening to his phone calls and busting his cousin jimmy for weed but internet porno is bread and circus shit...pursuit of happiness and all that.

The good new is, history has shown when one tries to control a medium or product, the secondary results that come about do to this "censorship" actually strengthen the control mediums need in society. Simply put Pavlovian laws show that once we are denied the "biscuit" we will be motived for more and at a much higher cost.

A good deal of porn is based on conditional needs.

I'm sure the powers that be understand that total control is impossible, if not they are making a big mistake (good for us over the long haul) otherwise, I feel their primary agenda is to make small high profile attacks in hopes of getting a better control system over the society of porn and then slowly reduce our rights from within.

It's the only tactical approach that is reasonable, after all it worked on the Jews!
