And to be fair, thereis rape and underage sex in Lost Girls as well. I still Think HTMMLAPS is worse though.

Both fail the empowerment quiz, but as I see it only one is getting the negative score here.

Porn Star The depiction of a teenage girl masturbating with her legs spread open and one tit popping out of her dress in 'Lost Girls' has nothing to do with women having control over their body. It's about a MAN including this image of an UNDER-AGE GIRL in his book because it's erotic. This wasn't a "Judy Blume book" exploration of a teen discovering her sexuality. It was your typical "barely legal" porn pose. It's indefensible. And as I said before, if I have to choose between high-brow comix that exploits women under the excuse of "Art" and low-brow comix that freely admits to being one hair away from caveman-brand entertainment, bring on "Cherry Poptart" and the Adam Hughes covers.
