<strong>On down aisle one brought us to Playboy Playmates Mandy Fisher, Jennifer Lavoie and Julie Cialini. The tables were covered with their albums of nude and semi-nude photos. . . The porn stars were, of course, a drawing point to young men who wanted pictures taken with their arm around their favorite 'playmate.'
since when are playmates "porn stars"

Quote:
<strong>As we wandered the remaining convention center floor, we encountered more fantasy, horror, witchcraft, Satanism, and spiritualism intermixed with 'legitimate' comic book characters.
This pisses me off too.

Let them know their association with known pornographic events is harmful to their character and credibility. After you send your letter, remember to forward this alert to a friend!
God this really pisses me off. I hate groups like this.

As classy as it is/tries to be, at the end of the day, Playboy is still designed to get men off. I'd say that makes it pornography.

Not to mention the fact 99.9% of playmates seem to appear in stuff on The Playboy Channel, too. Again, designed to get men off.

To me, crap like People magazine is truly the most insideous form of porn.

I don't know. I have two friends at school who appeared in the college issue of Playboy. I guess I can ask them if they are porn stars now. Then again, they might knock the crap out of me for asking something so stupid.

People like this still ONLY believe that comic books are for children. They probably can't fathom the idea that an adult (say above 25 years old) would be the slightest bit interested in reading a comic book.

There was also a Movie Marathon all weekend. Ratings ranged from G To R with several non-rated movies in between. The Anime/Movie Room Rules included "Not all films are age appropriate;" "No minors allowed in the rooms from 11:30 p.m. to 5:00 a.m." and "No sleeping in the Movie or Anime." According to those rules, children under the age of 17 would have been permitted into the R rated movies.
Um, maybe they show the R-rated movies between 11:30 and 5:00 am when the kids aren't allowed in there? Or did you even bother to check on that? Or how about it being the parent's responsibility?

Aw hell, let's make it easy and have comic cons offer nothing but back issues of Star Comics and My Little Pony marathons and all will be right with the world.

Of course, the proliferation of violent images in comics is just dandy, but if little Timmy sees a nipple, there goes the neighborhood.
