Ah, The Local Newspaper, The Best Source Of news, Local Events And... Porn?

[Seil]

Look at this woman:



Now, she's cute, right? She's a pretty lady - and recently, she's been added to Maxim. That's kinda cool. Why is it news that a pretty girl is going to be in a Maxim magazine? Well, because she's local. She hails from Qualicum Beach, where I live. That's kinda cool, to have a Maxim beauty being chosen from my town.

Now, the above link is to a newspaper called "The Oceanside Star," and in the newspaper, they had asked the community to support Ms. McKenzie while she does her thing, which, I guess, is being hot.

Now, the picture above was taken from the front page of the newspaper last week. Do you see a problem with that picture? Anything wrong? Anything... indecent? Because one of the letters in the paper, which I read today, had this:

Okay, you might think I'm over reacting, but the page on A4 is very soft porn.

Also, the magazine Maxim is not something to be encouraged to be read by anybody wanting to grow a healthy family.

This is a place where we have Family Days and say things like "It takes a community to raise a child" but what is this?

Now I have to screen the local paper before my kids look at it?

The Star's Response?



"It took the community of Qualicum Beach to raise Maxim Hottie Sarah Mae McKenzie."

I always thought soft porn involved, you know, nudity or implied sexual or indecent conduct. She's just looking at the camera there. Does he have a problem with them referencing her and the magazine together, or the magazine? Because they weren't asking us to read the magazine, they weren't showing us indecent pictures, they were just asking us to support someone that might be close to us and inspiring local Qualicum Beach pride.

What do you think?

I'd ignore it. It's just some right-wing "save the children" nut.

[Carade]

I'm sorry, what? I stopped reading after the picture.

[Jagos]

Carade, I couldn't have said it better myself.

I guess they just want some old fat woman that's 9 months pregnant to be in the newspaper.

[Amake]

Don't we all wish we were so hot our very appearance would be classified as porn?

Though it could get a bit problematic in those countries where porn actresses have to measure up to a minimum breast size so no one can get the impression they are underage. I'm sure I don't have to draw you a picture.

Anyway the solution when you realize you're 50 years old and never got the special attention for being pretty like those slutty girls in the newspaper? Complain!

Well, yeah. You can tell from the way she's looking at the camera she totally wants it!

See I hardly ever look at the paper but this one I totally looked at. Several times. Very closely. But then I felt guilty about it and it's all the paper's fault for printing Satan's temptation.

Stupid person is stupid, pay him no heed. Some people just like to complain for the sake of complaining.

Though I'd be worried about how his kids are gona grow up, seeing as pictures of women are now censcored in that household. I hope one day that dude finds a MASSIVE stash of porn under his kids bed and has a heart attack from the shock. That'll teach him!

[DFM]

I'm actually pretty impressed with the paper's response.

[stefan]

lets hope he never leafs through a copy of The Sun, then.

First, if this person calls this porn...send them to 4chan. That will give them heart failure.

This person not just sounds like a right wing nut, but he sounds like it!

It was a sad day for me today. I don't hardly ever look at the paper (Ocenaside Star) but today I did.

Okay, so he hardly reads the paper....yay...this already doesn't bode well for him not being a Right Wing Radical.

Than don't look at it!

Um...yeah, not helping his case any for being put in the same area of the viewpoint spectrum as Pat Robertson and Sarah Palin for me...

Now I have to screen the local paper before my kids look at it?

Don't you already do that by forcing your kids to watch FOX NEWS, 700 Club, and anything Sarah Palin is speaking at?

Not to mention home schooling them that the Earth is 6000 years old, all science is heresy, and Obama is the Antichrist.

I apologize to anyone that got offended by that last bit. Just saying what I thought of this guy just from his response to a local gal getting onto Maxim. I so want to tattoo on his forehead 'Right Wing Radical' and make sure it can't ever be removed.
