03/30/2004: "Oy, Canada..."

From Lifesite–Canadian tax payers are helping to pay for stuff like this:

The Ottawa Independent Film Makers Co-operative of Ottawa, IFCO, a taxpayer-funded group, hands down a decision today as to whether it will fund the pedophilia-themed film Last Night with Jesse. The group is expected to grant filmmaker Ken Takahashi $1000 for the project, which the Ottawa Citizen describes as "basically looking at man/boy relationships, but from a different perspective."

It's not too difficult to guess what that perspective will be:

Takahashi's other offerings include The Milkman, a homosexual love story his web-site describes as being about "two unlikely individuals who share love at its most basic level." The Milkman recently received The Jury's Choice Award, the top prize at the University of Oregon's 12th annual Queer Film Festival. Takahashi is seeking further funding from public sources to complete Last Night with Jesse.

Not to be too picky about Art or anything, but isn't there a really good chance that a felony will be committed in the process of making this movie? Or will Takahashi skip the porn and just move straight into NAMBLA propaganda? I'm reminded of Joseph Welch's question to Joseph McCarthy: "Have you no sense of decency, IFCO? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?
