Death Penalty For Porn Producers Iranian authorities voted to introduce harsh new measures against porn stars, cameramen and anyone involved in making erotic films or DVDs this week, with miscreants facing death. Parliamentarians voted by 148 to 5 for a bill which said "producers of pornographic works and main elements in their production are considered corruptors of the world . . . and could be sentenced to punishment as corruptors of the world," Reuters reported, which the news agency said means execution. In more bad news for the adult entertainment industry, African newspaper the Nigerian Tribune complained that local men devoting themselves to studying the finer details of 419 internet fraud schemes at internet cafes are being increasingly distracted by pornography, with potentially devastating effects. "A chance masturbator stands the risk of nervous-depressing permanent insanity, premature death, especially for those with high blood pressure, diabetes, blood diseases, inability to perform sexual act naturally, etc," the paper warned. "Other dangers attached to masturbation sexes include inability to pull out of the act. It has even been documented to cause more deaths among boys in Europe than any plaque (sic) or war."
