That would be Anime kiddie pron...probably...

I am not sure, killing any animal in the way described in the "crush" videos is just cruel, period. I don't see how that is a protected right. And I don't see how this is a fetish and how people get their jollies off on this...

I think this was a bad case to try this on. The video was about dog fights and I'm not sure it was a "animal cruelty vid" like some of the others in the story. Can't say for sure.

Nah. The Court's been pretty definitive on child porn in Ferber.

[SicEmBaylor]

Animated or simulated child porn is legal though, is it not?

And dogs aren't people. Animal cruelty is distasteful and illegal, but I don't believe it's tantamount to child porn.

[Frozen Sooner]

Animated or simulated child porn is legal though, is it not?

Yes. Because it's not child porn. Free Speech Coalition is the relevant case.

The compelling state interest in outlawing child porn is the victimization of the child. Where no child exists, no compelling sate interest exists.

The Court (I think it was Stevens) mentioned that under the challenged law in Free Speech Coalition a faithful enactment of Romeo and Juliet that involved adult actors would be swept under its rubric.

am i thinking of something else, or was this like a documentary on dog fights?

and that news story about "gothic kittens" seems retarded

you can cut off a puppy's tail and clip it's ears so they stand up, but piercing a kitten's ears is wrong?

Right decision by the court. The law was too broad. Many people were even concerned that hunting and fishing type videos/shows would fall under it depending on the courts decision.

Nothing wrong with defending the 1st Amendment.

[Leroy Lizard]

Nothing wrong with defending the 1st Amendment.

That's like saying, "There is nothing wrong with defending the family" or "There is nothing wrong with defending truth and justice." Okay, sure.
