I think that $lolly's obsession with making reference to me being short is a secret fetish for midgets!!!

I've put together a news article regarding the recently passed UK Criminal Justice & Immigration Bill which will criminalise the possession of adult, staged, consensual violent pornography with draconian penalties of up to 3 years in prison. Crazy.

I'm looking forward to your debate around this matter, but I do encourage you to view it without prejudice and most importantly, whilst not freaking out about potentially being locked up because you have a pic of Betty Paige in a corset, or that you bought your girlfriend a pair of fluffy handcuffs for valentines day and can't remember where you put the polaroid pics of her grinning like a fool whilst you pretended you had lost the key.

The question that follows on from the bill is this: if the activities or material in question are not abusive, should they be outlawed because some (or even most!!??) people find them distasteful ?

It is worth remembering that a majority once took that view on homosexuality.

Please bear in mind that this law is for UK only - and whilst the rest of Europe will most likely bring in their own version, deviantART falls under American law.

Earth Day 2008 Update

The Art of Giving Contest is now open!

Please, please please... for the love of all my porcupine tree possessions, read this journal and calm down over the Orphan Works Act. Read, read again, and then breath. Now pat yourself on the back!

Those of you in the UK who are panicking and worrying that you're going to be thrown in jail over some bondage pics, should relax too. I'm working on an article which should put it all into perspective for you, and clarify some of the misconceptions which the media as always are perpetuating.

I was a guest judge in #PhotoHunt just a few moments ago, and the word I came up with was "sentimental" - congrats to *Mishiru and *mdswedishboy both won a 3 month subscription.

Here's the deal. Each week, I'm going to select an image and offer it up to you guys for interpretation. Prizes will be given out for the best interpretation, so put your thinking caps on and get imaginative. You should leave your entry to the contest via my journal, but it would also be cool if you could copy this into the deviation comments too, so that the artist can have a record of your entry.

Thanks to =realillusions for this week's image, titled "Champagne".



Remember that this is about your interpretation, so don't be swayed by the artist comments on the image.

Winning interpretation(s) will be announced on Thursday 8th May, in my journal.

It's $lolly's birthday today, so make sure you stop by and leave him lots of and 23 lots of
