I love animals just as much as the next guy but cmon, this is authoritarianism.
This is an empire playing to its populists; the uneducated masses who will swarm around media-savvy issues such as this while ignoring the important things that affect their actual lives and country.
In such a time that we are all facing in the West, and especially in the US, the US's priority is to sign an act to make "animal crushing" videos illegal? Is it not common sense that animal crushing is wrong and should not be supported? Child pornography is wrong and illegal, yet it continues because nothing is being done about how people are raised and influenced.
I used to wonder why most mainstream Western news, on every single night, would air routine crap about pandas or polar bears being born in a zoo (right after a news report about things like school shootings or dead hookers, etc). It's because sheeple would prefer to block out reality and obsess with happy news. This "animal crushing" act is the US government trying to gain popularity among the American masses who would easily fall for this stuff as legitimate political action on a national level (especially when "animal crushing" has nothing to do with national politics).
And isn't it interesting how there's a lot of people who haven't even heard of "animal crushing" before this? I've never heard of it, and I've seen a lot of crazy sh!t on the internet. But you can be damn sure that a lot of people know about it now, and it's probably going to explode in obscene popularity.
EDIT:
Danbones- Now that they are illegal
they will get a value totally out out of preportion to what they are worth
and now it will be worthwhile to make them!
( prohibition made the gangsters..and indirectly JFK)
And it will be now worthwhile to have a SWAT team bureaucracy to enforce the law
and
now we have a reason to search everyones' computer
in case naked wiki leaks is downloading copywrited squishing rabitts
You're spot on, dude.edit on 10-12-2010 by Dimitri Dzengalshlevi because: (no reason given)

I've actually seen the bunny crush video a few times, and i don't really want to see it again. It's F*****g cruel, and i can't believe someone gets off on it. So i'm actually glad something is banned for a change

What about the documentation of legal acts such as whaling, seal clubbing, dolphin killing.
These things are legal in some countries. Will this effect the efforts of organisations such as Sea shepard to try to curb these kinds of activities ?
