Isa lang masasabi ko dito:
UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!

AN ACT PROHIBITING AND PENALIZING THE PRODUCTION, PRINTING, PUBLICATION, IMPORTATION, SALE, DISTRIBUTION AND EXHIBITION OF OBSCENE AND PORNOGRAPHIC MATERIALS AND THE EXHIBITION OF LIVE SEXUAL ACTS, AMENDING FOR THE PURPOSE ARTICLE 201 OF THE REVISED PENAL CODE, AS AMENDED
…

Hello?! Ano yung Exhibition of Obscene na pinagsasabi dito? Overbroad. Walang ending, kaya pag ang artist nag-discuss na about eroticism, nudity, pornography kahit academic readings and materials, yari na sa bill na ito. At baka si Oblation damitan na rin, obscene e…^^;

What’s wrong with pr0n anyway? It actually helps reduce the frequency of sex-related crimes in many countries! The state has no business with its citizen’s private pleasures so long as they don’t harm others. As if the present rating system isn’t stringent enough already!

Depende siguro kung anong religion ng theocratic state. Pagkaalam ko female-friendly naman ang Judaism kaya ok naman sa Israel :-)

The irony of Japan is, despite the somewhat the overall unequal treatment they get, Japanese women are the longest-living people in the world.

Theocracy would be a better description. And we all know how women are treated in theocracies. This is where misogyny truly lies.

Leinil, there is always a love/hate relationship between men and women. The Japanese just have a real quirky way of presenting it.

In Japan, a wife is entitled to take half of her husbands pension in case of divorce which she can instigate. :D

I agree with you, Monsieur Leinil.

Let’s emphasize the respect for women. After all, we all have mothers. That’s more than enough reason to revere our women.

The Philippines can adopt what Canada is doing in terms of warning to the viewing public.

Before any sexually explicit film or tv show begins, a warning is given to prepare those WHO MIGHT BE OFFENDED by the show. That’s all. It doesn’t mean the show will be band. In fact, there’s another new show called PORN WEEK. It is chronicling the ins and outs of the pron industry allover the world. a group of hosts and their camera men visit weekly the set of a porn show being shot, and some of the hosts are invited to participate if they want. Some guys actually join in. Shown at 9 pm, it can still be considred primetime. It is up to the parents if they don’t want their children to watch it. Though BRAVO and SHOWCASE, two Canadian networks that work independently with HBO, are specializing in sex shows. They’re the ones who bought Filipino films like PILA BALDE (Fetch Me A Pail Of Water), TUHOG (Skewered), CURACHA ANG BABAING WALANG PAHINGA (Curacha, The Restless Woman) and others.

Many of their shows were done as co-prosuction with HBO and Telefilm Canada.
