The New Pornographers

Attention, those of you harboring fugitive jpegs in your hard drives, Senator Revilla, stung by his recent unplanned grandfatherhood, is on the long climb back to a moral highground, and going after you:

Under the bill, Revilla proposed a penalty of 12 to 20 years imprisonment and a fine of at least 250,000 pesos against anyone who publishes, broadcasts, exhibits, sells, and acquires pornographic materials.

Soliciting sexual favors through email or Internet chatrooms are also punishable under the bill.

Cohorts of pornographers will also be sentenced to 12-year imprisonment and charged a 100, 000-peso fine.

Exchanging pornographic material is one discussion, but the government has no right to tell someone they can't hussy up a party in a chatroom. That'll ruin too many Friday nights.

Moral of the story is, share, don't sell.

Comments

He's clearly trying to clean his image up. I feel sorry for him but more sorry for his constituents. Pornography must be regulated, but the government must look at regulation among site owners and ISPs first before pointing the gun at the users.

but see porn and prostitution are symptoms of problems he refuses to address. if this is going to be his pet bill, he's shooting himself in the foot before putting it in his mouth. paano na lang ang mga showbiz katoto niya, which is I suspect, he thinks are his constituents along with Cavite?

he should be the poster child for population control instead in the vein of 'huwag tularan.'

I'm sorry but he is such an odious man .

No one reads in between the lines anyway. If he's anti-porn, he's going to be seen as pro-god (see bumper sticker). That's the sad part. Never mind civil rights.
