MAN: Reading.
What a wonderful thing this would be if they were reading something worthwhile. But they're not reading
anything constructive, they're reading stories
devoted to adultery, to sexual perversion, to horror,
to the most despicable of crimes. STAN: In those days,

had to be presented to them and they would make certain
there was nothing in them that would ruin the youth of America

MAN: Reading.
What a wonderful thing this would be
00:00:03.711 --> 00:00:05.922
if they were reading something worthwhile.
00:00:05.922 --> 00:00:08.997
But they're not reading
anything constructive,
00:00:08.997 --> 00:00:11.678
they're reading stories
devoted to adultery, to sexual perversion,
00:00:11.678 --> 00:00:14.597
to horror,

00:00:23.731 --> 00:00:26.359
that had been set up by the publishers.
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:29.445
It was called the Comics Code Authority.
00:00:29.445 --> 00:00:32.657
All the books we published
had to be presented to them
00:00:32.657 --> 00:00:35.041
and they would make certain
there was nothing in them
00:00:35.041 --> 00:00:37.912
