A man in Australia was recently convicted of possessing child pornography and indecent photos of children. He was fined, sentenced to a jail term and put on a 'good behavior' register. All well and good, and if anything a rather lax punishment for what is a sadly more frequent and sickening crime. HOWEVER the pictures he possessed were of Simpson's characters Bart, Lisa and Maggie.
The Judge in this case had to decide whether Cartoon Characters in essence classed as people. He did. Therefore, this chap has had his life ruined for having what some would class as 'funny' cartoon pictures. I am not defending showing images of children in this nature, but come on - I've been sent joke emails with worse content on than that. It was a misjudgement keeping them on his computer and for all we know he was sent them as a joke email. You can type in 'Simpson's sex' to Google and the first 50 images are (A) Explicit, openly sexual and degrading and (B) Attached to joke / comedy sites.
I tell you what though, somebody had better ring the RSPCA about the Simpson's too. The Itchy and Scatchy show violates every single covenant of the cruelty to animals act. Surely there is a case to sue the creators - Cartoon Animals are real animals too!!!
