So according to the FBI, pictures taken of teenagers in sweaters, even with their parent’s consent, now counts as child porn (note: this link does not actually take you to child porn. Sorry to disappoint.). My first reaction was this: lolwut? And I’m sure that’s what yours is too.
I don’t know under what definition of “pornography” they’re operating, but it certainly isn’t a normal one. Every time I get spam in my e-mail about “hot lesbieenz” it certainly doesn’t involve them wearing sweaters and standing around in their pants.
Listen, if someone wants to get their rocks off to some kid wearing their clothes…well, that’s just freaking weird. But it shouldn’t be illegal. How those kids — especially if their parents give their consent to it — could come to harm wearing their clothes (warning: this links to one of the allegedly “naughty” websites. If you are Amish, don’t go there.) According to CNet (News.com), the kids struck positions that were “illegally provocative”.
So, what, it’s cool to take pictures of minors as long as…what, again? I wonder if that could be more broadly defined.
