by far the filthiest Internet site we’ve come across that offers open and unlimited access to some of the most obscene videos and photographs of Filipino women and girls.
If someone chooses to prostitute themselves, open an adult video store, or run a porn site in a location where it is clearly illegal, it's no one's fault but their own. Whether or not we agree those laws HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
