Man sent to prison for "Elf Porn"



Man sent to jail for watching 'Elf Sex'
Jail time for watching mythical creatures that do not exist making love.



Weird News  -  This story goes where this man has never gone before:  Elf Sex.  I never even knew it existed.  But Big Government beat me to it and has made looking at elf sex illegal.

Why?  Hell if I know.  Governments want to make everything illegal.  Only government "approved" entertainment is allowed by the increasingly all-powerful state.

A man in New Zealand spent three months in prison and is facing an additional 10 years of penalties for possessing cartoon drawings of young-looking elves and pixies having sex.

Ronald Clark's drawings were deemed by a court to be "underage," making the pictures child pornography under New Zealand law -- even though they were animated images, not photographs.  By the way, can't a magical elf be 2000 years old like in the Lord of the Rings?  They would not be "underage" would they?

Clark now faces a decade-long supervision order that would prevent him from going near certain areas where children might be, Clark's lawyer, Roger Bowden, reports the Huffington Post.

The law in New Zealand takes a protective stance when it comes to child pornography, saying that any image that "promotes the exploitation of children or young persons for sexual purposes" is illegal -- and punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

In the U.S., the Supreme Court ruled in 2002 that an earlier law outlawing non-photographic child pornography was unconstitutional. However, former President George W. Bush signed legislation the following year outlawing sexually offensive computer-generated images, drawings and even sculptures of minors.

Specifically, if a comic book depiction of a minor (or a statue of a cherub in your garden) could be considered sexually offensive by "community standards," and that comic or sculpture has no literary, political, scientific or artistic value, you could get five years in jail for owning it (or 10 years for selling or distributing it).
