Some american guy was charged with kiddie pron when his laptop was searched by Customs.

Not bringing manga anywhere is sound advice no matter what.

He should have known better.  It's a witchhunt out there, and comic books are something that many people love to attack.

Glad to see Canada standing strong against the threat of manga.

Well, let's deport Marie-Ségolène Royal there. She will be happy and so will we.

Possessing or accessing hentai material, even online, is indeed practically illegal in Canada, thanks to R. vs. Sharpe.

Ridiculous I know, that someone could be put on the sex offender registry for watching naughty purple tentacles, but it's considered child pornography.

I, like most people, have however :ph34r:

Even assuming there was nothing illegal there is still someone looking through your personal stuff...iffy.

This poor guy probally didn't even know it was illegal in Canada. It is strange.

So am I.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

That a country could allow gay marriage but draw a line at some drawings of children does seem a little odd.

Why would they search his files, and why would he let them? Put a damn password on it.

Good.

Who in Canada has the job of deciding whether a given drawing is of a 12 year old or of a young looking 18 year old?
