Where does the intellectual meets lust ? When the Media say so..I think we all need a wake up cal there. A reality check.
Wake up call for what? To keep newspapers out of the hands of children until they are old enough to discern truth from fiction? Fine, I'm ok with that. But that's a job for parents, not the government. Children are individuals each following their own unique development path, and parents are the best equipped to determine what their children are ready for when it comes to television, radio, news and other forms of widely distributed public media.

Frankly, in the world you paint we wouldn't be able to have this conversation because a child might accidentally read this page, and we would be criminals for having exposed them to thoughts that conjured images of gutter journalism and boobies.
