why manny villar is off my list

the pornography act of 2008.

"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..."

doesn't sound too bad right?  this is the law's definition of OBSCENE:

"(1) showing, depicting or describing sexual acts;

(2) showing, depicting or describing human sexual organs or the

(3) showing, depicting or describing completely nude human

(4) describing erotic reactions, feelings or experiences on sexual female breasts; bodies; acts; or

(5) performing live sexual acts of whatever form."

so basically, the senator wrote the law that says it's illegal to not only produce but SHOW any "obscene" materials.

it's now illegal to place stuff like these in a mall, park, school or any public place:

rodin's masterpieces like the thinker and the kiss

a charcoal-on-paper work by manansala.

solario's "the virgin with the green cushion" currently hanging in the louvre.

one of your fave works, matisse's la danse...

a photograph of the best weaver of the butbut tribe from Kalinga.

even this breastfeeding campaign poster.

show this and you suffer...

"... imprisonment of not less than six (6) years and one (I) day nor more than twelve (12) years and a fine of not less than Five hundred thousand pesos (P500,000.00) nor more than One million pesos (PI ,000,000.00)..."
