Everyone knows from my previous posts that I support free speech, but there are limits. Hate speech which incites violence and obscenity are definitely not protected by the right to free speech. Furthermore, free speech is not necessarily free access. September Cohen and friends are not entitled to unlimited access to disseminate pornography and material that is so blatantly offensive to ALL.
Jarkko, are you there?

You are very mad Hermitage. This image of a poor girl swallowing miserable syllables is sure obscene. And in the way it was used it was certainly violent. But I read other obscenity and or violence more socially presented, here.
In an other range of idea, this reminds me of the storm about the micro-second apparition of the breast of Janet Jackson that but the US on their knees, where they are not afraid about any kind of violence IF there is no sex reliated to it. This is a kind of obscenity to me.
