Perversion for Profit

I remember watching this in my first year at college and it's still a hilarious, if for nothing more than it's classic 50's deep-voiced announcer and his long pauses to emphasise the evil ramifications of this filth. Apparently it's still being used by the Anti-porn movement.

The film shown here is a film from 1965 detailing the problems with allowing pornography in a 'modern American society'. Especially how continued exposure to such material will, with an absolute certainty lead those readers to commit sssexual crimes. There was also some belief at the time, apparently, that the publishers of pornographic magazines were inherently Communist, and that those exposed to their products would inevitably try to overthrow the good American citizens.

If you've got a spare half hour for a good laugh, it's definitely worth it.
