But in 1973, the monologue was aired as part of a radio broadcast, and it was heard by a man who complained to the…
In a meeting with religious leaders last week, Vice President Joe Biden stated that there is “no legal reason” that the government couldn’t impose extra taxes on entertainment media that depict violence such as movies and video games.

Chun Han Wong writes for The…
Despite a 2011 Supreme Court decision that struck down a California law banning the sale or rental of violent video games to minors, New Jersey lawmakers are now considering similar legislation. In an apparent attempt to skirt the Supreme Court finding that games are First Amendment-protected free speech, the proposed law would require parental consent…
Last year, Tunisian citizens Jabeur Mejri and Ghazi Beji were sentenced in their home country to 7.5 years prison for blasphemy. The two were convicted of insulting the Prophet Muhammad after they shared cartoons depicting Muhammad and criticizing Islam on their Facebook pages. Last week, Tunisian courts were supposed to hear an appeal in the…
Anime News Network reports that publication of the adult manga magazine Comic Megastore has been indefinitely suspended due to a police investigation for obscenity. The magazine was clearly marked 18+, but apparently still ran afoul of Article 175 of the Japanese Penal Code, which forbids the distribution, sale, or public display of “an obscene document,…
