Zero tolerance for people who watch fairy-folk sex cartoons

issue 27 April 2013

A man in New Zealand has just been sent to prison for three months for watching cartoons of pixies, elves and trolls enjoying sexual intercourse. I don’t know, from the court report, if this was inter-species fairy-folk sex, i.e. if it was a nasty scene of one of those enormous, wart-festooned Norse Huldrefolk applying himself with great vigour to the epicene and vulnerable form of a mere elf. This information is not recorded. We know simply that Ronald Clark was dispatched to chokey and a local campaigner against child abuse said outside the court that while the convicted man had watched only cartoons of these creatures having sex, it was the sort of thing which might lead to him trying it out for real.

This kind of comment is so ubiquitous in such cases that nobody remarked just how problematic such a transition might prove for Mr Clark, were he to do as the campaigner feared.
