Group says AARP is pushing porn
Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow - 1/23/2009 7:00:00 AM


A media obscenity watchdog is taking issue with advertising in the January AARP Bulletin.

Morality in Media (MIM) president Bob Peters has contacted the American Association of Retired People (AARP) for running an ad seeking customers for BetterSex.com.

"BetterSex.com promotes itself as providing bona fide sex education materials for adults," he notes. "I think that many people, if they looked at the content of these materials, would say this is pornography."

Besides the website's graphic and explicit nature, Peters has another objection to it. "BetterSex.com doesn't just promote adult sex education," he points out. "It also provides hundreds, literally hundreds, of pornographic movies, ...many of which you would find in an adult bookstore."

The website is connected to Phil Harvey, founder of Adam and Eve stores, which is one of the largest pornography businesses in America. The website is operated by the Sinclair Institute, established by Harvey in 1991.

3. Phil Harvey is a fascinating character

He uses the profits from his sex toy/erotica business to fund family planning and AIDS awareness programs in poor countries. http://www.alternet.org/story/13650/

Please consider his company when ordering your pornographic products.

4. And Bob Peters knows this -

Besides the website's graphic and explicit nature, Peters has another objection to it. "BetterSex.com doesn't just promote adult sex education," he points out. "It also provides hundreds, literally hundreds, of pornographic movies, ...many of which you would find in an adult bookstore."

- exactly how? Could it be his deep personal experience with adult bookstores?

The gentleman doth protest too much, methinks.
