According to Florida news websites, the webmaster of Now That’s Fucked Up has made bail on his obscenity charges:
Chris Wilson, the operator of a controversial porn Web site, was released from the Polk County Jail after his parents put up $30,100 to arrange his bail.
Wilson operated an adult Web site out of his Lakeland apartment. The site became controversial after it started running photos, allegedly sent in by soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, showing scenes of dead men and women, purported to be insurgents. Many of the dead were horribly mutilated.
Apparently the county where he lives is some sort of anti-free speech stronghold. The darkly funny part of the whole mess is that they didn’t charge him for posting pictures of dead people, only for allegedly vanilla porn pictures. From the article:
Wilson was arrested on charges relating to the amateur pornography section of his Web site, not the dead body pictures.
So the government censors don’t have any problem with actual death and violence, but if you show boobs, they’ve got a jail cell waiting for you. If that type of government attack on our freedoms doesn’t piss you off, nothing will. Reading about the case, you’d think it was the Cuban government or something, not America.
