June 2, 2008, 3:48pm (report abuse)I support this bill. It's about time. We need to get rid off Lolicons (especially Crayon Shin-Chan) from the Net, video stores, comic shops, etc. If I would learn Japanese, I would go to Japan and kick Yoshito Usui's a** and say "straighten up your act and make Shin-chan less lolicon or prepare to face criminal charges for child pornography."
