Geez, we have more earthquakes than that in Sicily. I think people tend to associate earthquakes with California because it had some of the biggest earthquakes throughout history, even if they're infrequent. I think that's where the misconception comes from.

Better hide your XKCD stick-figures.... they *might* be under-age and therefore child porn of child stick-figures. Sheesh.

Basically, Handley was looking at ruination at the hands of a zealot and plea-bargained. The rest of society will suffer for that precedent.
The problem with these "loli" manga is that the characters are not underage even if they look like they are. Lucky Star's a good example of that, although it's not exactly XXX rated.
