Could Elder Porn Become The New Child Porn?

Could Massachusetts really make it illegal to feature anyone over 60 in a pornographic film? Has the state never heard of performers like Dave Cummings and Shigeo Tokuda?

Seriously, though, we're extremely disturbed by the implication that people over the age of sixty don't have the ability to decide for themselves whether or not they want to be featured in an erotic film. What next—are we going to force everyone over the age of sixty to retire and move to Boca?
