Best DOD Job Ever?
Anti-pornography groups recently complained about various magazines sold at military installations in violation of a 10-year-old blue law. A letter co-authored by the groups explained that their members had personally observed the sale of materials they deem sexually explicit at several locations, including the Pentagon itself.
Naturally, the DOD looked into the matter.
Leslye Arsht, deputy under secretary for family policy, writes that “the board reviewed Celebrity Skin, Penthouse, Perfect 10, Playboy, Playboy’s College Girls, Playboy’s Lingerie, Nude, Nude Playmates and Playmates in Bed and determined that, based solely on the totality of each magazine’s content, they were not sexually explicit.”
That’s right: lucky DOD employees were tasked with the responsibility of thumbing through skin magazines on the clock to decide whether they were too racy for sale.
Your tax dollars at work, folks. Did you get your money’s worth?

Interesting post to appear above the earlier, titled “Soldiers Still Need Some Cheer”
LOL. Good point.
Oh, the agony. LOL
Why can’t I get a job like that?
Hey, I just wanna know what criteria this “board” was using. I subscribe to some of those magazines and I can assure you they are nasty, filthy, explicit PORN every damn time I look at them! ~ J.
This has pissed me off since they enacted it. Young men and women old enough to go to war, to fight, perhaps to die, trusted with multi-million dollar weapons systems, but some lil ol’ ladies in Congress decide what we can and cannot buy at the BX/PX. That was the beginning of the end of my going to the BX/PX for anything…well, that and when we found out WalMart was cheaper.,
C’mon, Timmer. You know as well as I do that it’s the wives who started complaining about the stuff.
According to Red’s twin sister, everything with nudity is porn. Unfortunately, I wasn’t paying close attention when she was going through my models portfolio a while back, and she got a faceful of her twin sister with no clothes on.
They’re lovely photos, and I’m very proud of them, but she very nearly ran screaming from the room. How she’s managed to have four children I’ll never understand.
wg,
must’ve been immaculate conception?
Perhaps she just laid back and thought of England?
No, I think it was the usual way. Red says that way back in the day, they were all 3 living together, and she walked in on the two of them without meaning to. Red’s twin actually isn’t nearly as prissy if their older sister isn’t in the room, and she was during that particular incident.
That wouldn’t have been too bad of a job. Why can’t I get paid to do something like that? =P
I’m way too astonished to worry about what my tax dollars are doing at the moment…
Joana, my husband just asked the same thing. I pointed out that his life is under-insured for such hazardous duty.
