Bart and Lisa Simpson Sex Ruled Child Porn

By | December 10th, 2008 at 8:24 am

Think you’re just being funny when you make your kid’s Dora doll do the nasty with GI Joe? Better be careful – an Australian man has been convicted of child porn possession for looking at pictures of cartoons Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson having sex. 

A judge ruled that despite the Simpsons being both fictional and drawn, they could be considered to depict a person under Australian law. And since the Simpsons are all kids – albeit imaginary ones – well, you know where I’m heading with this. Alan John McEwan lost his appeal, and he’s been forced to pay a $3,000 fine plus submit to a two-year good behavior bond.

This one really rattled me. I’m all for packing pedophiles away in prisons, but cartoon porn? Can that really be pedophilia? Let’s face it, we all have that friend – you know, the one who never gets any and always talks about it (he might be a father . . .) – who likes to send the e-mails with the dirty jokes about Sesame Street characters. I vaguely remember one accompanied by crudely drawn pictures of Cookie Monster with giant blue balls – for a joke about, well, blue balls (see what I mean about not getting any?). It was far from stimulating – sexually or any other way. 

But Cookie Monster, Elmo and the gang are famous for never growing up; does that make the people who drew up that forward to be something more than your garden variety perv? Are they pedophiles? How about going a step farther – let’s look at every teenage boy who draws a dick on the characters in the Highlights magazine accidentally left in the high school library. Or the dad who takes his kid’s Leapster alphabet toy and presses the letters “S” and “X” in rapid succession.  

Or maybe they’ll come and hit Babble – after all, both Cole and I posted mashups from the net last week of rap songs transposed over children’s TV shows. I posted one of my personal favorites – Dora the Promiscuous Girl – no nakedness in sight, but if the genitals on fictional kids count as porn, what do you make of Dora and Timbaland? 

It sounds like big brother’s moving in on kid sister’s toys.

    I hope they don’t start looking at my cell phone text messages. I get some, and yet, I find odd pictures messages such as these, to be quite hillarious! I don’t wanna pay a fine, I don’t wanna go to jail, and please, don’t make me register as a sexual offender!

    There’s something not right about this. I mean, yeah, kinda weird to be watching the Simpsons doing it, but really? Kiddie porn? That’s a stretch.

    I guess “The Family Guy” will never make it on the air in Australia.
