This legislation is pointless. I don't even like Ron Paul because I think the majority of his followers (my age, anyway) like his ideas on pot more than they like anything else about him. Regardless, does the American public even know what obscenity is? I doubt the average internet browser has any idea about the Miller and SLAPS tests, which are the current standards for the definition of obscene material. What we're going to have are a bunch of self-appointed internet police officers running around and reporting everything they can find that they don't like. There's also the logistical problem of most obscene work being posted overseas.

Furthermore, if this legislation passes, you can kiss goodbye your "2 Girls, 1 Cup" gags and the infamous anime Shitting Dick Nipples (lol).
