Quote of the day

Regarding the new interpretations of federal regulations that would require websites that feature sexually explicit photographs or videos to keep records confirming that the performers are of legal age:

"People are pretty freaked out," said porn webmaster Jim McAnally, who estimates that more than half of hard-core websites, including some of his, will have to dump significant numbers of photos and videos. "This will affect people from top to bottom."

After the Tracy Lords debacle, you'd think they'd want to go out of their way to ensure the "performers" are of age wouldn't you?

Actually, I hadn't thought too much about the issue, I was so busy howling at the quotation.

But you're right.

Oh dear, you mean that now they'll have to actually have some ethics? I'm sure that will be such an unreasonable burden for them to bear. Diddums.

I like the way the webmaster said people are "freaked out" about this. As if making sure you're not exploiting children were such an outrageous thing to ask.
