X-Rated Bible

The movement was started as a reaction to censorship of a student sex column. In honor of all the nascent Jerry Fallwell wannabes crawling out of the woodwork, I propose a similar proposal here.

…Hong Kong residents have called on authorities to reclassify the Bible as “indecent” due to its sexual and violent content… The complaints follow the launch of an anonymous Web site — www.truthbible.net — which said the holy book “made one tremble” given its sexual and violent content, including rape and incest. If the Bible is classified as “indecent” by authorities, only those over 18 could buy the holy book and it would need to be sealed in a wrapper with a statutory warning notice.

Update: Bible spared indecent classification. Oh well!
