[QUOTE=Illuminatiprimus] There was a news piece on this a couple of weeks ago - they’re tightening the laws on images so that if you have a scene where someone’s life/safety looks like it could be in danger then it will (from sometime next year) be deemed illegal to possess. Whether the picture is staged with actors or taken using an actual victim, it won’t matter. Hey, I did say it was silly. [/QUOTE] How will they account for historic depictions of torture, execution, etc.? Stick the curators of the Tate in prison? ---

No wonder Pinewood Studios is moving to Toronto.

[Why don’t I let the beeb explain the issue](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6237226.stm) I should have said out the outset that the intended arena is extreme pornography, but technically you could argue that the picture we were discussing earlier falls into that category if you really wanted to (I don’t, but playing devil’s advocate). ---

Thanks. So far she’s still a happy kitty. I bought a sling on Amazon that just got here today–it is similar to a baby sling, and will let me keep her with me when I’m not sitting down. She follows me around hoping I’ll sit down and she can get on my lap, but I can’t just sit down all day! ---

Well the [ghost thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=469789&page=1&pp=50) has finally provoked me into learning how to upload pics to the internet. (I’ve had a Yahoo email since forever, but only today did I find out that Flickr is part of Yahoo. Duh!) So, [here I am](http://www.flickr.com/photos/27171221@N02/2535219471/in/set-72157605335423207/), oxygen deprived, furthest left.
