Woman Files Obscenity Complaint Over Library Book

LEWISTON, Maine -- A Lewiston woman has lodged a formal complaint with police, claiming a children’s sex education book at the public library is obscene and should be taken off the shelves.

JoAn Karkos said the book, “It’s Perfectly Normal,” violates the city’s obscenity ordinance, and she wants police to issue a citation against the Lewiston Public Library.

Several weeks ago, Karkos checked the book out of the library and refused to return it, saying the book was inappropriate.

The library eventually had police issue a summons for the return of the book. Karkos will appear before a judge in December on that issue.

In the meantime, police are investigating her complaint.

Library Director Rick Speer said he is not pleased with Karkos’ latest move.

Police told News 8 they should reach a decision as to whether they will issue the citation within a few days.

YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME! WHO IS THIS WOMAN TO DECIDE WHO CAN OR CAN'T READ THIS BOOK, OR ANY OTHER BOOK FOR THAT MATTER? LADY YOU ARE NOT THE LITERARY POLICE AND HAVE NO RIGHT TO DECIDE WHO CAN READ WHAT. IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. NO WONDER KIDS ARE SO MESSED UP THESE DAYS. PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE SO ASHAMED OF YOUR BODIES AND THINK ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT SEX AND REPRODUCTION IS OBSCENE. YOUR MOTHER SHOULD BE ASHAMED AS SHE FAILED IN HER DUTY AS A PARENT TO INFORM AND EDUCATE YOU. THANK GOODNESS I WAS RAISED BY A FATHER WHO BELIEVED KNOWLEDGE WAS POWER AND WOULD NEVER HAVE BANNED A BOOK IN OUR HOME. THANK GOODNESS MY CHILD HAVE THE SAME TYPE OF PARENT. I FIND IT INSULTING THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY GET TO DECIDE (BY BANNING BOOKS) WHAT I AM ALLOWED TO READ. I CAN DECIDE FOR MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN THANK YOU.

Eva Mendes CK Ad Banned in the US? WTF?!

Spoilsport American TV network bosses have banned this advert featuring EVA MENDES for being TOO sexy.

In the steamy commercial for Calvin Klein's Secret Obsession perfume, the gorgeous actress writhes topless on a bed in

Eva admitted she was "thrilled" that the ad was considered too saucy for US broadcast.

EEva admitted she was “thrilled” that the ad was considered too saucy for US broadcast.

Eva, 33, said: “I love it. That means the ads are totally Calvin, totally provocative and a little controversial.”

She continued: “In the commercial you’ll see me rolling around in bed a lot, that’s basically all I do. I have been a fan of Calvin Klein’s Obsession ads since I can remember.”

She added: “I love to feel super-feminine. I love dresses and skirts and dislike jeans.

“I think what makes a woman sexy is confidence.”

Creative Director of the advert Fabien Baron said: “This country really needs a new president — this country is so messed up.

“It’s such a joke and it’s quite upsetting, frankly, how hypocritical this country has become. It’s OK for children to see people killed by guns? Spreading a little love right now would be a good idea.

“She is being a little sexy, but they are not provocative.”

See the video here. Why do we Americans pretend to be so damned prudish? We have people having sex on street corners, actresses who wear next to nothing on national television, bikinis that barely cover your tits and cooch, and we are banned from seeing a woman's breast on tv? No wonder girls are getting pregnant at young ages. No one talks about the tits. Stop being a closet boob looker. At least stand up and say you aren't afraid of the breast already. Good grief! And we wonder why other countries don't take us seriously.
