With the capture of Osama Bin Laden, the pacification of Iraq and the creation of democratic institutions, that Afghanistan has become the center of knowledge and tolerence in Central Asia, that North Korea is embracing capitalism and instituting democracy, and since poverty world wide has been completely eliminated; I think that Representative Mike Pence has a a good idea.
Canoga Park, Ca. — In an attempt to exert control over the sexual practices of American citizens under the guise of protecting children, Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) introduced bill H.R. 3726 this week, also called The Child Pornography Protection Act of 2005. Among other provisions, the bill targets adult citizens who record visual images of consensual sexual activity in the privacy of their own homes, adds nudity and clothed images of pubic areas to the definition of “explicit sexual activity†as defined in U.S.C. 18 §2256, and criminalizes the production and distribution of R-rated mainstream motion pictures that fail to comply with the record creation and notice provisions of 2257, and possibly for violation of obscenity laws.–emphasis added

So, if you were thinking about making your own homemade porn with your (adult) significant other (and you yourself are an adult) then you’d better think again. Representative Mike “The Prude” Pence is going to come after you. And if you’ve already created such porn, well you will be sent to a re-education camp.

Oh, and if you really can’t tell, the first paragraph is sarcastic, so please don’t get your underwear in a knot over it.
