Summary: Video Warning (Press, 23 January 1989)
In a letter published on 23 January 1989, J.B. Russell expresses concern regarding a prior article titled “Unsafe sex without warning,” which critiques the limitations of the Video Recording Board in addressing the content of certain videos. Russell highlights the board's inability to mandate a warning about unsafe sexual practices on a video that it deems lacks artistic, social, or cultural value and consists of graphic homosexual sexual activities without a coherent storyline. He compares this situation to irresponsibly distributing loaded firearms while being unable to acknowledge the dangers they pose. Russell's letter underscores his alarm at the implications for public health and safety regarding the distribution of explicit content without adequate warnings.
