Thank God: U.S. Dept. of Labor Will Only Purchase American-Made Pornography

Posted on | July 20, 2010 | 10 Comments

Unlike the Bush administration, which allowed greedy offshore porn producers to compete for Labor Department contracts:

Contractors must now prove that any Russian pornography used in fulfilling U.S. government orders was made without children.
That’s the bizarre message that U.S. President Barack Obama’s administration sent out this week when its Labor Department placed Russian pornography on a blacklist of products that “might have been mined, produced or manufactured by forced or indentured child labor.”
The 29-item list, published on the Labor Department’s web site on Monday, “is designed to make sure that federal agencies do not buy products made with forced or indentured child labor,” according to a fact sheet on the department’s web site. . . .
“[The blacklist] requires federal contractors who furnish such a product to make certifications designed to help ensure that forced or indentured child labor was not, in fact, used to make the product,” the fact sheet says.
It was not clear Tuesday when and why the U.S. government might require contractors to provide pornography from Russia or any other country.

Obviously, the Labor Department doesn’t want unionized porn performers to be forced to compete with cheap foreign pornography imports. Sort of a Smoot-Hawley for porn.
