No Happy Endings – Iran Votes To Kill Porn Stars

There’s always been a debate about pornographic material here in America, but I don’t think the far right would ever go this far:
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s parliament on Wednesday voted in favor of a bill that could lead to death penalty for persons convicted of working in the production of pornographic movies.
With a 148-5 vote in favor and four abstentions, lawmakers present at the Wednesday session of the 290-seat parliament approved that "producers of pornographic works and main elements in their production are considered corruptors of the world and could be sentenced to punishment as corruptors of the world."
The term, "corruptor of the world" is taken from the Quran, the Muslims’ holy book, and ranks among the highest on the scale of an individual’s criminal offenses. Under Iran’s Islamic Penal Code, it carries a death penalty.
The "main elements" refered to in the draft include producers, directors, cameramen and actors involved in making a pornographic video.
The bill also envisages convictions ranging from one year imprisonment to a death sentence for the main distributors of the movies and also producers of Web sites in which the pornographic works would appear.
Besides videos, the bill covers all electronic visual material, such as DVD and CDs. Other material, such as porn magazines and books are already banned under Iranian law.
To become law, the bill requires an approval by the Guardian Council, a constitutional watchdog in Iran.
Apparently the bill just stopped short of making it illegal to WATCH the darn stuff. No wonder they have people running around blowing themselves up in that part of the world. If they just had more pornography, they’d probably just be content to stay at home all day long!
I say we airdrop some Playboys into Fallujah STAT!
Anyway, apparently this whole bill came up as a response to a recent "sex tape scandal" in Iran where their own version of Paris Hilton – some Iranian actress – was filmed doing the nasty and then had it released.
What gets me about THAT particular event was that the poor woman involved had absolutely NO part in making the video available to the public, yet people what to have her whipped and sent to jail. Jeesh.
I’d like to see the passage in the Koran where it says it’s okay to kill a billion people in the name of Muhammad, but you can’t look at a naked lady.
ignorant north american cunt
Quran states men are one degree above women in dominance. This is what modern dating Gurus and social psychologists are realising now DHV DHV DHV….. The most natural way to live follow Quran.
To be honest, I disagree with all this right wing stuff, but I do belive pornography, even the mild types are a bad influence and bloody addictive :@ (for your information, I have only gone as far as the mild types) But I still think it is bad and personally I think It’s okay to kill people involved in it, but I think people who trade it should also be punished.
