Flutterby™! : Takeshita Tells All

Stolen from Daze Reader (original link), a must-read transcript of a discussion in an L.A. obscenity trial:

"Q: Would it influence your opinion as to the changed community standard if I were to show you that as the percentage of movies released that contained urination and masturbation, that the number of sales either stayed the same or increased?"

"A: No."

"Q: So is it correct that consumer consumption of a particular content in your opinion is irrelevant to the issue of community standard?"

"A: Can I answer that other than 'Yes' or 'No'?"

"Q: Let's start with 'Yes' or "no,' and then go on from there."

"A: Okay. No."

I'll be looking for information on "People v. Shoemaker et al", this looks fascinating.
