Lisa And Milhouse Aren't Real?

A Canadian judge ruled that images of kids from "The Simpsons" having sex are NOT kiddie porn. He acquitted a guy who had the pictures on his computer (and videotaped himself having sex with a toy doll); noting that the defendant was "depraved," he nevertheless ruled that the images weren't kiddie porn, because, it turns out, the characters are not real and the sex in the images is fake. Imagine that. Yes, it's creepy and disturbing, but there's no actual child involved. And that comes up again and again in cases where someone Photoshops a kid's face on, um, other bodies. If a picture shows something that never happened, should it be illegal? (Ottawa Citizen)
