United Press International is reporting that the American Family Association and other anti-pornography groups are claiming that pornographic magazines such as Playboy and Penthouse are on sale in US military stores.
This stems back to 1996 when Congress passed the Military Honour and Decency Act, which prohibited sale of sexually explicit magaizines in US military stores.
Quite honestly, this belongs in the Ridiculous News File, because there is no issue here. This is a piece of self promotion by those who believe that censorship is not only good, but should be encouraged. I'd rather discourage censorship and let the individual choose rather than have governments or quangos or self appointed censors dictating what I can and cannot read or see.
