AFA Releases Video Warning About Pornography
The AFA has finally reacted to Adelphia's decision to offer sexually-explicit movies on their cable systems. Needless to say, they're not happy about it.

Here's the video:

And their petition to send to Bush and Gonzales:

1. They're Pay-per-view, right?
If so, not a problem with me.

I'm more pissed by those damn "Girls Gone Wild" commercials that are NOT blocked by the V-Chip, and run on regular broadcast and non-pay channels. That's offensive.

2. Maybe it's time for another "Meece Commission."
I'm sure Paris Hilton would love to testify how her videoed sexcapade damaged her career.

5. XXX = anal penetration and ejaculation
and will it be discolored and shifted, so you can still kind of see what's going on? (and hear the soundtrack)

Will they include rape simulations?

7. Quote from article
Adelphia Communications Corp. the nation’s fifth largest cable company, is showing hardcore pornography on their cable systems. All other cable companies are expected to follow Adelphia’s lead.

Other companies are expected to follow Adelphia's lead? Adelpphia is the LAST major cable co. that does NOT offer the adult channels.

But no lie is a bad lie when used to fight the evils of pornography, right?

Adelphia felt safe in offering the illegal obscenity because they know that the Department of Justice (DOJ) will not prosecute them. By their inaction, DOJ has indicated that they will not prosecute any cable system or Internet provider showing hardcore pornography.

Maybe the reason that the DOJ is not prosecuting is beccause obscenity laws were ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL by a federal judge and the DOJ is waiting on the appeal.
