Lawyer Maurice Ampaw
Celebrity lawyer, Maurice Ampaw has hit hard at those criticizing calls by two individuals to regulators in the country to bar some television networks from further showing pornographic movies.
He described lovers of pornographic movies and materials as insane endorsing the gagging calls with the explanation no one in the right frame of mind will indulge in such practices.
‘In every situation, you will have people who will support useless stuff. The right thinking Ghanaians, well cultured abhors pornographic materials, that is why traditionally one cannot talk about sex. Morally, Christians also abhors pornographic materials, as for Muslims, they will throw stones at you for watching pornographic movies. Owners and viewers of Television stations which air pornographic movies are sick in the head. Quote me anywhere, anybody who watches pornographic movie or materials is not a right thinking member of society. Its madness, they are mentally deranged so their rights cannot override the right thinking members of society’s rights,’ he fumed.
Two media practitioners, James Berko and Tommy Annan Forson petitioned the Ministry of Information, Chief Justice, National Media Commission (NMC) and other agencies over pornographic movies aired by owners of Ice TV, TV XYZ and Thunder TV.
Some of the stations have since withdrawn the pornographic content.
