BOOTY CALL

With the advent of 3G technology in cellphones and its rapid proliferation, the younger generation has found a new way to break the taboo. Sharing sex and violence videos via MMS (Multimedia messaging) has become a cult in many countries say it is in Germany or in the USA. Younger generation watches porn and pictures of human beings mutilated, raped, beheaded, and even having sex with animal in their cell phones. The peril is that these people are underaged and they watch these in school, on subways, buses, and in other public areas. Everywhere there are open advertisements for downloading sex videos to you phone; say in TV or in magazines. Its a growing business in countries like Germany.

This month Police has raided some German schools and arrested some teens for sharing videos containing sex and violence. At the hauptschule in Immenstadt (Bavaria) more than 200 students cell phones were confiscated, and in 17 telephones they had found porn and violence videos. Although there are laws against distributing porn to teens but authorities have more to think how to apply them. The students are not aware of the law. Many parents have no idea about the new technology and its perils. Some schools are resorting to mobile phone bans in schools which the students are protesting. The issue has become so complicated that it would require concerted efforts from all quarters to reduce the misuse of this new technology.

Avari.Nameh discusses this issue in light of the US and shows that there is another menace in mobile porn that is the DVD players in the car. He thinks that this is not only disgusting, but sad.
