If I used breast imagery in a pictorial political satire i.e. David Cameron’s face looks like a tit, is it unacceptable and like the use of breast imagery in a lads mag?

Its like the super injunctions, its not fair that peoples life?s are intruded on like footballers (realy who gives a shit)but someone like Sir Fred Goodwin needs to be scrutinized.

With free speech you got to take the good with the bad.

I presume this is your work?

If i am giving you shit it is because your concerns seem a bit fantastical and misplaced- you've read 'maybe we should stop trying to sell pushup bras to 8 year olds' and somehow understood it to mean 'OMG they are gonna cancel the internet!!!'

Its the nature of satircal cartooning, its vulgar, rude and unplesent.Thats the job as it stands, it reflects the nature of the people that set them selfs up above us.

Well, the government has had ages to censor all sorts of explicit sexual material, either print or electronic (i am not referring to any material which shows criminal acts, eg abuse).

This material has been restricted for sale to persons of a certain age. These proposals run along similar lines. I really don't see how this is censorship by the back.door- if the government hasn't done so yet, why would it now? It is no further empowered to do so today than it was 5 years ago, so why is this a real threat?

Why would you use a part of a womans body to insult someone or to represent a bad thing?

It will be deemed too hard for mummys to work it and then 'Daddy' will have to do it for you.

The measure you cite refers to parents blocking content, presumably internet content available on their home computers to users of said computer.

Or do you think that the government is going to hand over control of the internet to me, chibi, someone's mummy, to block sites from being accessed by any and all uk residents?

Because that's batshit loco.

Dear old Hogarth ripped off a woman Cartoonist who wrote the first book on it, he stated at the time what a lowly art form it was, two years later he was doing it himself. See blog.seattlepi.com/bookpatrol/2010/03/11/the-mother-of-pictorial-satire-or-why-did-yankee-doodle-call-his-hat-macaroni/

Currently any old wank mag can be left lying around people's houses. They are not displayed to children in shops however, and if these proposals were to become law (if if if) neither would lad mags.

What happens to them post purchase is another story, and not a subject of any of these proposals, as far as i can see.

Could you draw a sketch of Swift weeping in Mencken's arms while they contemplate the crap that passes for satire these days? Can it also feature a gurning Hogarth swilling gin? I am happy for any of them to be represented by any body part you deem necessary (in the interests of press freedom and democracy).

Can you work old Tom Lehrer in there too?

@chibi I work for a national newspaper on and off that has a average daily circulation of 279,308 copies and can be found lieing around peoples houses.

I am really having trouble following you. Does your work currently appear in publications aimed at children? Are your satirical cartoons on their clothes? Do you make satirical videos featuring pop stars gyrating lasciviously to be aired pre-watershed?

None of these proposals appear to have anything to do with satirical cartoons.

If on the other hand your DC-as-tit cartoon was due to grace the next issue of CBeebies magazine, then you have a right to be concerned.

Or not. These proposals carry no legal weight.
