Trafficking still not a myth: “Has the UN learned lessons of Bosnian sex slavery revealed in Rachel Weisz film?”

Porcupine: new anti-porn resource for young people

PETA are fucking crazy, and fucking stupid
PETA are launching a porn site. Read the HuffPo article here. Found via IBTP here. Everything I wanted to say about it has already been said in the comments thread, but I will high-light this: So how pornographic will PETA go?
