A movie by highly acclaimed director Gregg Araki is under attack by a religious anti-free speech group who says they think the movie might be illegal. They want the U.S. Congress to investigate the indie art film, which tackles issue of teenage sexual abuse and homosexuality. AVN has an article on the controversy here.
Critic Ted Baehr says, “This film clearly violates the child pornography statutes written by Congress and most state legislatures. We urge authorities to take action and investigate.” Baehr holds a Ph.D. and is an attorney who worked for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New York.
“The film, ‘Mysterious Skin,’ reaches a new low in depravity,” said Baehr, founder and publisher of Movieguide .
Could there be any better publicity for a film than having some anti-free speech extremist who used to work for the government calling it “a new low in depravity”? That alone should double ticket sales for the film. 
Stick to porn, not politics. Moore titties please.

We have too many fanatics who try to mold everything about them to fit their ideals. They should all be hung and burned… As long as the movie doesn’t show the kids engaged in any sexual act, it’s cool. However, if it DID show that… Then yeah. They are wrong.
