OK. All those claiming Canada is *not* on a slippery slope towards
absolute censorship -- I'd love to hear you justify the banning of
sexually explicit depictions of *legal* *adults* who happen to look
young. Banning porn featuring *actual* children has, I admit, some
tenuous justification (though I think current ages of consent are
ridiculous from a biological perspective), but only a nation of prudish
puritan blue-noses would ban materials based on how the actors/actresses
*appear*.

Hell, I'd move to Canada just to be on the jury for one of these cases.
