    Wait... I was under the impression that child depiction in cartoon porn was ruled legal...

    Nevermind as of 2003 it was made illegal by bushead...

    Cartoons are illegal... nice.

    Though I do not morally agree with depiction of child pornography in a cartoon I don't see how a fictional character drawn with a pencil can get a man 15 years in jail...

    Well, I cant fathom people voting for the prick twice (Diebold ! ! !) But yeah 15 years , damn where has the human rights gone ? oh well, it speaks for itself so I am not going down that road either. Damn poor guy, the next 15 years he is going to get buttslammed because of a cartoon. Actually, I think it is insane. But I am NOT surprised when it comes to such cases over there. Let us just say, it is sad . Some cases just makes you shrug your shoulders, and shake your head. And this is one of those cases.
    Being an avid collector of comics has just gotten you 15 years in the slammer. What The Fuck man.. WTF. what's next ? Danish films with blasphemous things in them are getting illegal too ? oh yeah they already are in Ireland. And I can mention quite a few Danish films that has blasphemous things in them, one of them is Nattevagten which Nick Nolte played in the American version of the film. There are stuff in Danish version which are blatantly blasphemous to other cultures. So he is screwed in more ways than one, and it is a scary world we live in.

    Nightwatch (the american version of Nattevagten)

    I somehow don't think this guy is going to get 15 years in prison.

    What I want to know is, HOW did they find out what he was collecting?

    I'm sure it was just customs opening it, him getting arrested, and him explaining that he hoarded manga...without paying attention in many cases.
