Porn Triumphs In New Jersey

121907adultvideostore.jpg
It's been just over a year since I wrote about Cherry Hill's never-ending battle against smut, and with good reason. Cherry Hill has been defeated by smut in a rout, and even the group fighting against "smut" has this message on its website's messageboard: "Sexy Models and Beauty Queens looking for Sugar Daddy!"

Absolutely, 100 percent total loss hasn't stopped everyone, though. Today the Courier-Post tell us the fight is "heating up" and gets the relevant quotes:

"The mayor will continue to fight against the invasion of deviant businesses and the sale of explicit material from corrupting our strong neighborhoods and family values in Cherry Hill," said township spokesman Dan Keashen.

Of course, this deviant business blocking comes with a price. Cherry Hill Township's insurance carrier agreed to pay $225,000 to the businesspeople blocked from opening an adult video store. But the township hasn't signed the order, so it's going to cost a lot more than that in the end.

I'm sure the upstanding citizens that fought this store will be shopping there shortly.

Come to think of it though - with the internet why is anyone shopping at an adult bookstore, anywhere, ever?

I wonder if they'll carry the Alycia Lane-Chris Booker video when it gets leaked.

I haven't seen them once.

When I was growing up in Cherry Hill we had a lovely adult bookstore/movie theater right in the middle of the Woodcrest Shopping Center (now its a tire center). Why should this generation be deprived of the same things I grew up with.
