The UK Government is planning to outlaw mere possesion of cartoon images that appear sexually explicit IF the persons in them APPEAR to be under 18.

How do you tell the age of a cartoon character?

UK fans of Japanese Anime films and Manga comics may soon find themselves looking at a 3 year jail term and an exorbitant fine just for owning a few comics and DVDs which are at present perfectly legal to buy within the UK and are perfectly legal in virtually every other country all because the less media savvy member of parliament find them "disgusting".

Comic shop voice is campaigning against this (fearing the existing Dangerous Pictures Act could also be used to prosecute cartoon images).
