Ridding the World of Pornography One Naked Picture at a Time

Last weekend, I went with my family to Las Vegas to attend The Offspring concert. Saturday afternoon we did a few of the typical Las Vegas things: saw the lions at the MGM, went to the M&M Factory, sampled the Cokes from Around World at the Coke Shop. After the Coke Shop we sat outside for a minute to decide what to do next. As I looked around, I saw several "playing cards" scattered all over the sidewalk. But these weren't your regular playing cards, these all had pictures of naked women accompanied with a phone # to call. I stood up and starting picking up the cards, Cassidy, in her best freak out voice, said "Mooommmm, what are you doing???" I continued to pick up all the cards in my area and throw them in the trash. I realize that there are still multi-thousands of pictures still lying on the streets of Vegas, but I can't help think "all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

yay debbie!!

the last time we were in vegas, they looked like a folded dollar bill on one side..

we had a few little kids in our group, so the temptation to pick them up was strong!!

i hope that if we weren't in such a huge crowd and worried i'd get trampled i'd have done the same thing!!

good for you!!

For the record, after I knew what my mom was picking up to throw away, I was glad that she would do that. But, when I saw her picking up crap off the the already disgusting Las Vegas ground I wondered why.
