Auto-Eroticism

Jonah, I hesitate to rush to the defense of car porn, but someone has to, I suppose. So far as I understand it, the argument for banning this new menace to our nation is that one driver or, sigh, ‘the children’, may look into another driver’s car and be ‘offended’ by what that other driver is watching. Well, by analogy, why is that any different than walking down a street and being ‘offended’ by the Playboy that a man is reading on a park bench? Yes, there is a strong objection to people watching TV while they are driving (I hope that’s already illegal), and there is a pretty good case (for those that really worry about such matters) for stopping people driving around with porn-playing DVD screens deliberately pointed out towards the street, but otherwise leave this form of vehicular license alone. It’s sad enough already.
