Iceland Mulls Pornography Ban

Iceland’s Minister of the Interior Ogmundur Jonasson (cough, please) wants to ban pornography in his country … and not just on government computers. Jonasson actually wants to give the Icelandic government the power to ban internet porn in people’s homes and businesses.

“If we can send a man to the moon, we must be able to tackle porn on the internet,” Jonasson said recently.

Um … we hate to break it to this Nordic Big Brother but Iceland didn’t send a man to the moon, America did. And we love our porn.

Anyway, how is Iceland’s government going to define porn? Its leaders aren’t sure. And how is Iceland’s government going to enforce this ban on porn? Again. Not sure. And what about non-porn companies which handle porn-related credit card subscriptions? Yeah … Iceland hasn’t figured that out yet, either.

Mmm-kay …

Most importantly, if Iceland’s government succeeds in banning porn, what’s next? Seriously … what other vices will its leaders seek to eradicate in the name of the public good?

This is a slippery slope if we’ve ever seen one … (errrrr wait, maybe that’s not the best metaphor for this story).

Let’s hope this bid – like any effort to restrict individual liberty on the internet – fails to gain traction.

Just like the hot chick at the gas pump, she is probably from Will’s private files (pre Mrs. Sic). Speaking of which, what’s the gas price this week – and we need a name for your model ( I nominate Miss Pumper).

I’m sure their war on porn will go as well as our war on drugs.

Let’s offer them an even swap. The dollar value is probably about equal. That is, we give them the drugs.

Porn and booze was prohibited in Iraq too but that didn’t stop anyone. Porn was as common as sand and booze as easy to get as rocks. This won’t slow down porn there or anywhere, it will turn otherwise law abiding citizens into criminals (sound familiar) and destroy productive tax payers (sound familiar again) but I guess they have all the revenue they need and must have a bunch of empty jail cells so what the heck, round ‘em up.

LOL, definitely written by a shallow writer with no sense of morality. If he did have any sense of morality, he would have commended the Minister on the intent alone. I can’t believe I’m going to say this but anyone who says he “loves porn” has a PIECE OF TRASH of a mentality as he’s loving the very thing that destroys relationships as well as the emotional, mental and spiritual well being of a person who views pornography.
