New Obscenity Prosecution: 1972 Movie "Deep Throat"
 
I joke not.

If this gets ruled obscene, then virtually everything that everyone on here produces or promotes is obscene.

Quote:
Two owners of the Virginia sex shop Pheromoans were indicted on three misdemeanor charges of violating the state?s obscenity laws.

?Both movies have been around for decades and now are part of American culture,? Walters told XBIZ. ?This might be part of an intentional strategy by the prosecutors, because the bar will be set very low for what constitutes an obscene work if they get a conviction.?

Sounds like they just want the shop shut down and are grasping at straws to try and do it.

Sounds like they want everyone to move out of this country.

Did anyone read the article?

In Virginia it?s a crime to sell adult movies but not to buy or posses them.
That is what they did. :2 cents:

There's a bazaar dichotomy taking place in our country right now. On one hand, you have FBI agents doing 2257 inspections, viewing porn movies, and ruling companies in "compliance". Not to mention meeting with porn industry representatives at FBI Headquarters. This makes pornography a professional, legitimate, heavily government regulated industry.

On the other hand, you have vanilla sex movies from 1972 being prosecuted under antiquated obscenity laws.

Strange transitional times we find ourselves in.........

This can get ugly.

After 34 years of being on the market and sold in that state, community standards say "long since accepted".

Kimo 11-08-2006 06:30 PM
lets just stop selling porn and start killing people and maybe they will leave us alone

Interesting that we are just starting to build Deep Throat the video game for PC and Xbox 360... Should generate some more press for us!

Tony, it wouldn't matter if it was a city ordinance. The test for obscenity as defined by the federal courts is "community standards". As soon as you use the term "obscenity", the federal standard would normally be applied in any judgement.

It is a typical local politician move, though... the expense to fight it could be enough to push the store(s) out of business.

Has anyone ever run up against "blue laws"?

When I lived in Northern Virginia, 10 miles outside Washington DC, blue laws were still in effect. Sometimes these were called "the day of rest laws" The laws were two part, one was aimed at employees the other at consumer goods.

In Giant Food stores you could buy potatoes but not a scrub-brush to clean them. The brush required labor and Sunday was a day of rest. Tools of any kind, auto parts, paint, etc were illegal to SELL on a Sunday.

This was 20 years ago outside the nations capital. Who knows what kind of laws are still on the books that some local publicity seeking or religious nut decided to enforce. All liquor still has to be purchased from State Stores.

This has nothing to do with the Feds.

Bergen County in NJ still has a blue law in place
