Apparently we're in the "obscenity industry!"

"Mukasey spoke in answer to a question from reliably conservative Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Ut.), who asked, "General Mukasey, let me start my questions by following up on a topic I raised at your confirmation hearing last October. At that time, I described the concern of many that in enforcing the obscenity laws, the Justice Department is targeting too narrow a range of obscene material. The most extreme material may make a conviction more likely, but that conviction has little impact on the overall obscenity industry, and as I said then, I believe that the strategy is misguided."


Thank you Orrin Hatch for perpetuating the prejudice... jeepers!

What a surprise! :)

It annoys me with the whole "I feel guilty, so you should, too." mindset of bureaucracy.

He probably intended that remark to pigeonhole "obscenity" into it's own industry classification separate from porn or adult.... but how many average folk out there are going to see the distinction?

Probably not many.

Well there's a disturbing comment.

his face is obscene

Orrin Hatch and Ted Stevens are two of the worst and most corrupt Senators in our govt.. Both should be locked up for fraud and corruption.

Speaking of selling obscenity - I own the domain ObscenitySells.com ... aged (2001) - taking offers / trades.

The idea that there is an entire industry promoting obscenity is a bit of a stretch, but it's still a very hurtful thing to say. Guess I should go watch some more Davey and Goliath...

i wonder how much "obscenity" he downloaded today ...

He's the senator of UTAH.. Were you really expecting anything else?

He's just representing his constituents like he's supposed to.

Of course, we're supposed to be mad about it. Just playing the roles.

Just to be fair we should begin referring to government as the corruption and bribery industry.

He's always been a VERY creepy man with an attitude that you might have found a lot in 1950. Part of the "preservative" party.

Like that Brownback from Kansas. I saw him once refer to "murder in the womb" lol.

Jackasses

well... guess what? this industry is so fucking stupid and backwards that it doesn't do anything to counter the public perception that everyone here exploits women, supports cp, hates god, steals credit cards, rips people off, spams children and destroys marriages.

you shouldn't be worried about HIS comments... you should be worried that his is the only view getting press time while everyone here practices their quiet indignation, ridiculously stupid attempts at feigning shock and surprise while refining their privately held, self righteous stance on what you do for a living.

one guy is on TV telling the world how it is... the people that are affected are complaining privately in a forum full of scumbags and retards..... hmmmm... wonder who will win that battle of public perception?


this is a business that dresses up like a 5 dollar hooker and walks the street all night screaming "fuck you" at passers by... and that simultaneously wants to be offended about being called a skanky hooker.
