German TV goes hardcore
Expatica reports that hardcore porn will soon be available on German TV. "While full-frontal nudity is a staple of prime-time TV, and soft-porn sexual situations abound on late-night television in Germany, no broadcaster has ever dared to air hard-core sex. But now, thanks to digital encryption devices, the authorities have given provisional approval to subscription pay TV to offer an adult 'media service' on a pay-per-view basis to subscribers who provide proof of age in advance of keying in two series of personal identification numbers."
