Fake Simpsons cartoon 'is porn' (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7770781.stm)
An appeal judge in Australia has ruled that an animation depicting well-known cartoon characters engaging in sexual acts is child pornography. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7770781.stm)
The central issue in the case was whether a cartoon character could depict a real person.
Judge Michael Adams decided that it could, and found a man from Sydney guilty of possessing child pornography on his computer. <!-- E SF -->
***
. . . in a landmark ruling he decided that the mere fact that they were not realistic representations of human beings did not mean that they could not be considered people.
He ruled that the animated cartoon could "fuel demand for material that does involve the abuse of children," and therefore upheld the conviction for child pornography.
Now you're all guilty of possessing child pornography. Ha ha!
