Well then now I'm even more confused. Why exactly is a incredibly over-simplified, two-sentence joke considered overreacting?
Because you told it to a bunch of anime fans. A group of individuals who are the all time champions of "Serious Business".

And so you have.

Strangely enough, the first sentence was said by Hitler. The rest was said by a Rabbi in 1999, trying to imagine what Hitler would say in modern times....

Here in the Philippines, it's just a law written on plain paper. But in reality, no one cares about it.

I've seen it, young boys around ages 12-15 can easily buy pirated H-stuff in sidewalks. Now that's our Anti-piracy law in action here.

So expect less about the implementation of this ban on virtual child porno law because all these lawmakers are now busy with elections in May 2010.

What do the Phillipines define 'child' as, anyone under 18 as it is in NA?
