I disagree and agree. It managed to protect your father from your unscrupulous criminality. Albeit to late.
... you don't know what you're talking about ...

... my father was murdered in a government-run hospital in british columbia and the justice system promptly issued an immediate payment for that contracted assassination to the parties guilty of arranging his death ...

Are you off your meds again or is your semi parallel universe converging with ours again?

Pretty lame 'film' in my opinion and not even the worst thing I've seen today.

But to be ratted-out by some douche overseas, then all this hubub...it should be tossed out as a waste of time.

It should be tossed. I see no reason, after watching it, as to why he is being charged with what he is. It is obviously a film, make believe. If they go through with it then what is next.... go after Stephen King? RCS?

LMAO.. Abolished.... Yes, cuz Lawlessness would do Canada a world of good.

But yes, I did hear of this case a while back....

"Couture is charged with several counts of corrupting morals through the possession, production and distribution of material deemed obscene."

Sounds to me like a dated law created back in the 50's, that should no longer exist.

And since "Deemed Obscene" is not only vague, but highly subjective to interpretation... such a law should be abolished and doesn't even have a place in todays' world.

"Corrupting Morals" is also another Vague & Highly Subjective term.

As far as I'm concerned, there is no case against him, as there's no specific way they can define the charges against him, let alone properly argue their case to make him guilty..... which is exactly why this has gone on for three years without a Trial.

Someone got their titties in a twist over something they saw and wanted to do something about it..... and now they're figuring out they're an idiot, but are trying to figure out how to save face.

They need to grow a thicker skin...... and to save face?

I'm sure this guy can help them out with both. :twisted:

... you seem to be saying that the justice system is "protecting" us from something? lol. that's funny. it ain't ...

It's protecting you from me taking a hammer to your skull and dumping your body in a ditch somewhere, isn't it?

... you don't know what you're talking about ...

... my father was murdered in a government-run hospital in british columbia and the justice system promptly issued an immediate payment for that contracted assassination to the parties guilty of arranging his death ...

Yes... as I'm sure the government had it out for your father, and your father was such an important target that they had to do a cover-up assassination that made it look like an accident..... But you knew better.

There's a difference between negligence & stupidity and the deliberate killing of someone as in a Murder or Assassination.

But hey, whatever makes you feel better.

Aside from the fact that Wizard seems to think the world is out to get him I do have a view on this.

First off, I wasn't sure what I was watching was actual crime scene film, until the film wandered off the path and started showing the killer. Awesome special effects. As to the subject, matter it struck me as an almost pornographic version of horror, something I find lacking imagination, but hey is it illegal.

Strange question. We are looking at very graphic images here. Certainly have seen this sort of thing in House of 1000 Corpses, Devils Rejects, Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Remake), but looking at this from another direction the argument really is that it isn't real.

Ask yourself this question. If, through the use of CGI someone were able to make a film depicting children being molested or even murdered without actually using real children to make such a film, would that be deemed child pornography or art.

I draw the comparison because the argument seems to be that its not real, therefore it should be tolerated.

I, for one, am a free speech guy.

But at what point do we say, "This is unacceptable."

You just know that some guy is out there jacking to this stuff.
