In yet another case of The Simpsons in real life, the state of Utah has tabled a Bill declaring that pornography is a public health hazard.
Sponsored by serial search history deleters, Todd Weiler and Curtis Oda, the Bill entitled “Concurrent resolution on the public health crisis“ attempts to tackle the big scary world of online pornography by stating, “This concurrent resolution of the Legislature and the Governor recognises that pornography is a public health hazard leading to a broad spectrum of individual and public health impacts and societal harms.”
The Bill digresses, “The Legislature and the Governor recognise the need for education, prevention, research, and policy change at the community and societal level in order to address the pornography epidemic that is harming the people of our state and nation.”
Basically, porn bad, no porn good.
But a public health crisis? I mean come on Utah, it’s not like you’ve been found to be the number one subscribers of online pornography in America or anything, oh wait.
While the Free Speech Coalition, a lobby group for the "Adult Entertainment and Pleasure Products Industry", aren’t impressed with this "hazard" label that the Utah state legislature have bandied around:
The anti-porn people over at Fight The New Drug are so happy they're celebrating with DISCOUNTED MERCH:
Alright Utah, You do you.
