Max Hardcore

"Max Hardcore" may not be some people's idea of a nice man, and his porn videos even fewer people's idea of wholesome culture (they often contain consensual violence or actors pretending to be minors), but the verdict against him is highly problematic because it's a verdict against fantasy. If people can be put in jail for what goes on in their heads, we're on a very slippery slope.

In Lebanon and most arab countries, if you criticize the State, its leaders, or do the same with a "friendly country", you can be sent to jail by virtue of law. It doesn't matter for one second if you were merely stating the bare truth. Besides, anything bare is public obscenity, so there!
Otherwise put, if as a journalist -or a blogger- you can reveal a genuine and proven corruption scandal and present irrefutable proof in a court of law, the local George-W-Bushes can legally haul yo' ass to da slammer. Giddit? So jest shaddup, boy, and bow yo' head to da man. Sit. Be quiet. Play dead. Heel.
So much for freedom of expression and the Chart of Human Rights, eh?
Phooey. ):-P
Now THAT's what I call repugnifying public pornographic obscenity. But I'll call it without raising my voice too much...
