Don’t think so, \*\*adaher \*\*still has to do something like this:

> [@GOP Platform Officially Endorses Banning All Porn](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/gop-platform-officially-endorses-banning-all-porn/668313/4):
>
> Yeah, the article is outdated by about a year. Woops. Ran across it in a current search and saw that it ran in August, sorta skipped over the year. I think the scenario will still be viable because the underlying reasoning is sound, but I haven’t seen a LOT of calls for banning all adult porn from major Republican candidates, so they may not have decided t move in that particular direction. For now, Syria’s gonna keep people busy in any event, especially if Obama is actually stupid enough to put his pecker in that particular pencil sharpener.

\*\*adaher \*\*doing that would disrupt the time continuum it seems. Not much to scorn **Evil Captor** after that, except that no, there is not much of an scenario there **Evil Captor**.
