(Some people have been using the Spore Creature Creator to make monsters shaped like boobies and willies. Thank goodness for squeamish pleas for censorship'.)
"I consider this very similar to child pornography, at least to the extent of distributing the material to children," 18-year-old Michael James from Calgary, Alberta, told CNN.

Christ!
What isn't fundie about this?
It's a perfect example of the black-and-white thinking they use, combined with the lack of any cognitive ability to perceive a world in which their rules don't apply.
Not everything has to be religious to be fundie!
And here I was, less than an hour ago, bitching about how I wanted to move back to Calgary.
Considering that the people making the bobbie and willie monsters are probably kids, I would not call this pornography. Immaturity, sure, but hell we were all there once.
Oh, come on. Any time anything has an in-game design function--decals, monsters, whatever--the first thing anyone will make will be a wang. It's basically a natural law.
Calgary? Oh god, this assclown lives in my city...
edit: Yeah, I'd defend my city from all the "It's Calgary, what do you expect?" comments, but the reality is that Calgary is full of conservative douchebags. We're the Texas of Canada D:
Better ban all drawing materials, after all someone could draw a naked woman with them.
I cant wait for the full game to come out - fundies will go mad since it has evilution in it.

Hey, Mikey, come back and talk to us when you've started shaving on a regular basis. Maybe then you'll have a more adult view of the world around you. Until then--keep your eyes open and your mouth shut. You might just learn something.
Sadly, I have to agree with the comments here that my province is like the Texas of Canada. However, I have to say that only Alberta is this bad, and all the other provinces are much, much better if you want to move to Canada (though Québec has some pretty bad anti-anglophone bias).
Also, as a fan of Spore, I know that EA is aggressively banning everyone who submits something like this to the game, and that the odds any creature will be like this are well under 1,000 to 1.
After playing around with the demo of the Creature Creator, I have concluded that Spore has the potential to have some of the most enjoyable and interesting user-created content ever seen in a video game. Of course, half of the creatures out there will be walking penises.
Still, if a fifth-grader oh-so-cleverly designs his alien race to look like his privates, that is in no way equal to child porn. As others have already pointed out, children viewing pornography is not the same thing as children in pornography.
@ Larty
There will be something of a filter in place. Players will have the option to encounter a random selection from all user-created content, just stuff from their friends, or even none at all (in which case, other races would likely be staff creations).

Yeah, I heard of that recently. Can't fully understand how it works in practise, though.
"And that's why aliens haven't come to Earth yet!"
Now I see! That sure makes sense. :D
Somebody doesn't understand what "child pornography" actually means.
And I'm not surprised this 'tard is in Calgary, Alberta is basically the Bible Belt of Canada.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
