You know, the religion that seems to have the loudest lung capacity when it comes to shrieking about the alleged ills associated with enjoying the sensual pleasures of modern life.

So, Utah, Alaska, Mississippi, Hawaii, Oklahoma, Arkansas, North Dakota, Louisiana, Florida, West Virginia – we in the adult entertainment industry thank you for your patronage, but you won’t get any prizes for integrity or honesty. At least not from me.

Perhaps someday those states can rise above their self-imposed shame and stop lying to their local and national legislators about what they do and what they think of people who do what they do. In the meantime, we’re stuck with constant insults and attempts to stifle the very speech that so many of us obviously enjoy – and both Michael and Sami Harb of Movies By Mail get to spend time in a Utah court defending themselves in front of a judge and jury that may very well have ordered videos from them – but may prefer to hand down a mega fine or prison term instead of admitting as much.

All because, as Edelman points out, “Some of the people who are most outraged turn out to be customers of the very things they claimed to be outraged by.”

Now, that’s outrageous.
