Interesting. Hopefully it works as well as that "War on Drugs" thing we had a while back.

I like porn....

[thoughtomator]

If it does, every schoolkid in America will have ready access to porn.

Another government tax boondoggle. Unless it's children, who CARES?

[AdamSelene235]

We might as well go all the way:

The Prohibition Party

Lam Nguyen's job is to sit for hours in a chilly, quiet room devoid of any color but gray and look at pornography.

Like so many federal jobs, a waste of time and a total waste of tax dollars.

[breakem]

Our government IN ACTION or is that 1 word?

[Andyman]

In a short time we went from a President who viewed it to a President who fights it.

spending millions of dollars to bring anti-obscenity cases to courthouses across the country for the first time in 10 years.

It's not like they have anything better to do with those millions, like catch kidnappers and kiddie porn producers, stop terrorists, etc. I'm sure they'll be just as successful as they were with the WoD, and maybe even manage to drive the business underground, depriving the government of tax revenue and increasing the likelihood of women getting abused.

Wonder what the job criteria is to watch porn all day.

Do the men get debriefed at the end of the day?

Does it lesson their desires for their spouse in the private life, like eating chocolate untill you get sick?

I think this is a good job for women not men. We would be more objective.

[Dan from Michigan]

We got Iraq, Afghanastan, border problems, and a bloated defecit, but Porn(outside of Child Porn) is a major priority? C'mon.

I should hope that they aren't TOO serious about this. It would put my neighbor's wife in a real quandary. How would she continue her business that caters to bizarre people who like to see pictures of unattractive women that walk about in public wearing nothing but a viking helmet? How would I continue my photography business that focuses on taking nude photographs of unattractive women in public wearing nothing but viking helmets?

This is just too much.

Just read the full article:

said pornography "invades our homes persistently though the mail, phone, VCR, cable TV and the Internet,

Gotta love propaganda. Porn only "invades" via some spam, and that is a very specific problem. Porn by all other methods is chosen by the consumer to come into the home.

I notice that this article quotes Larry Flynt (who opposes Bush to the point of making up stupid rumors about him) several times, as well as some other pornographers.

About half way through the piece, it just turns the blowtorch full blast on John Ashcroft, with a bunch of innuendo but no actual facts. The article really seems to object to Ashcrofts' Christianity, for some reason.

My judgment: This article is a fake, just another loony hit piece on Bush by America's unbiased media. Read the article closely; notice how it doesn't really say anything.

[isom35]

hmmm...a war against porn. So would traci lords be a defector from the enemy side? If we capture some porn actresses and put them in a POW camp, can I be a guard?

[agitator]

This is nothing but a typical government shakedown, no different than any of the other shakedown operations they run. Here's how it works. Govt targets some producer of pr0n and then through threats amounting to extortion (I'm shocked!) gets the producer to agree to stop producing pr0n under their current business and to forfeit (pay tribute) to Uncle Sham to the tune of a couple of hundred thousand dollars (which to the pr0n business is just an expensive cost of doing business.) They take that $200k and use it to fund their next extortion of their next target. The idea here isn't to stop it, it's to create a self-funding shakedown operation that makes nice headlines for the "folks."

[oyez]

Sounds like trial lawyers about to make some money.

We're at WAR with Islamofacists, some of whom live among us. Priorities, people.

[RightWingAtheist]

I find it interesting that of all the industries and businesses in the country, the sex industry is the only one the liberals want completely unregulated.

[EGPWS]

Lam Nguyen's job is to sit for hours in a chilly, quiet room devoid of any color but gray and look at pornography. This job, which Nguyen does earnestly from 9 to 5, surrounded by a half-dozen other "computer forensic specialists" like him, has become the focal point of the Justice Department's operation to rid the world of porn.

It's a nasty job, however thank God we have people with such a conviction for the American way that they have the fortitude to tolerate such a grueling job!

I wonder what the pay is? I'm a person of conviction!
