Mexico cracks down on porn films in taxis
TUXTLA GUTIERREZ, Mexico — Three taxi drivers were arrested on charges of showing pornographic DVDs in their cabs in the southern Mexican city of Tapachula. The men were arrested Friday after receiving a complaint from a woman who said she was traveling in a taxi with her 6-year-old son when the driver put on a pornographic film, Tapachula police spokesman Gerardo Ramirez said.
Well, now that Mexico has solved all of the more pressing problems facing the country- poverty, drug trafficking, poverty, lawlessness, poverty- it seems that it’s now time to finally tackle the scourge that is…wait for it…pornographic DVDs in taxi cabs. Man, it’s about damn time, don’tcha think??
Of course, there are those who think this is much ado about nothing. After all, if you’re in a Mexican taxi, you’d think that people would be wanting something to take their mind of the poverty and the squalor as they pass it by. I know that whenever I find myself in a Mexican taxi, a good porno DVD takes my mind off the rats, the garbage, and the abject poverty. Besides, in a country where women are second-class citizens anyway, why not watch some choreographed, poorly-lit horizontal mamboing (if that’s even a word) while you’re confined in the back seat of a taxi?
Just be sure to bring a towel….
