From SFGate:
Now this is what I call tax dollars at work. Let's "finance" a study to find out what makes porn addicting. Mary Anne Layden, co-director of a sexual trauma program at the University of Pennsylvania, has called for "billboards and bus ads warning people to avoid pornography, strip clubs and prostitutes."
Comparing pornography to heroin, researchers on Thursday called on Congress to finance studies on "porn addiction" and launch a public health campaign about the dangers.
Yes, because a bus ad is going to shed the light on johns who routinely spends $20 on aging, toothless and disease-infested hookers. Here's an idea, and it didn't cost a single tax penny: Porn is addicting because men like looking at naked women and the Internet makes it readily and freely available.
Okay, time to move on – unless we really need to go into solutions here. Although I too wish we could regulate everyone's personal lives and install taser guns on computer monitors that zap anyone who tries to access a porn site, they do have those pesky Constitutional rights which would forbid such measures.
And those strip clubs. We need to abolish them to because looking at beautiful naked women trying to make a buck (or a few thousand) is bad for the soul. Then we'll outlaw all R-rated films, rap/hard rock music, novels not suitable for the classroom, and finally we'll forbid all Americans from cursing in public. It's time to put Congress to work!
