Because naughty scenes are so bad that we have to get rid of it – and that helps everyone! Well everyone but underage girls:
Remember Clean Flix? It’s the Utah-based DVD business that was a favorite of conservative politicians and an anathema to the studios because it edited feature films to remove or alter content deemed inappropriate.

Well, cover your eyes for this story. Clean Flix founder Daniel Thompson has just been arrested and is accused of having sex with underaged girls. And according to the Salt Lake Tribune, the “booking documents state Thompson told the 14-year-olds that his film sanitizing business was a cover for a pornography studio.” Police found a “large quantity” of porno movies inside the business, “along with a keg of beer, painkillers and two cameras hooked up to a television.” Thompson has been released after posting $30,000 bail.
How many times do we hear similar stories? Mark Foley worked on legislation to go after sex offenders, while he was chasing underage boys on the internet. Ted Haggard preached of the “evils of being gay”, while he was having gay sex. That’s why whenever I hear some purist speaking about how bad anything involving sex is, I just laugh. Anyone who preaches the morale high ground is a lot more likely to have those nasty skeletons hiding in their closets.
