I must be getting old

Since September, Danish newspaper Extrabladet has been running a man hunt (as their style is) on a website owner, who had been displaying for the world a collection of rather crudely drawn cartoon child pornography.

Before the end of the year, this person had presumably been threatened on his life and/or manhood on several occasions by Extrabladet's readers, and willfully pulled the plug on his site out of fear for his own well-being.

Enter February, where  the Danish (supposed) Social Democrats set forth a proposal of banning animated or drawn depictions of children in sexual situations by law.

This all managed to escape me until earlier today, when a 27-year-old female elected representative of parliament spoke for this ban on national radio, without any further reasoning than that of a few psycologists, who said this type of imagery could stir the same urges in a potential child molester, as could looking at actual child pornography.
