Los Angeles advertiser and "shock artist," Ira Issacs, is going to trial on federal obscenity charges for videos that feature bestiality and other matters the Beagle editorial panel considers not suitable for a family blog.
It is not only the BlowHardRight that is alarmed. This kind of weird is a clear sign of America in decline, but it ain't the liberals' fault. There is a market for this kind of schtuff. Consumers of these videos, Issacs says, find it therapeutic. It's capitalism pure and simple.
Issacs plans to draw the links between his work and that of James Joyce and D.H. Lawrence, a stretch some Beagletonians consider not bloody likely.
The Beagle stands almost firm on free speech principles when it comes to materials that make it difficult to empanel jurors because they say viewing the material would make them sick to their stomachs.
"It's the most extreme material that's ever been put on trial. I don't know of anything more disgusting," Issac's defense attorney said.
