Holy Porn!

Israel's High Court of Justice unanimously ruled on Wednesday that the Playboy channel can continue to be broadcast in the holy land, thereby ending three years of legal sparring over the legality of its broadcasts. The special 11-justice panel rejected two petitions against the adult channel on cable and satellite television in Israel, but, amazingly, the judge decided to uphold the freedom of expression and even noted that the pornographic content of the channel was "relatively light."

One hundred and seventy five other countries broadcast the Playboy channel, with 25,000 homes subscribing to the channel in Israel alone. So obviously there is a demand for their soft-porn content. The people have spoken. They want flesh and they want it now!

Despite the outcry of women groups and religious sectors, Justice Dalia Dorner noted that while she realizes that their programming may be offensive to some members of the public, "no one is forcing them to watch."

Wow! You go, girl!

I can remember the last time a Judge said something in regards to freedom of speech that protected it, instead of restricting it. Especially in conservative Israel!!!
