Backpackers May Head To Cambodian Prison For Maybe Taking Some Sexy Porn Pictures

(CNN) Cambodian authorities have accused 10 foreigners of violating the country's anti-pornography laws, after police raided a party in Siem Reap, close to the famous ruins of Angkor Wat.

The group, which includes at least five UK nationals, as well as two Canadians, a Norwegian and a New Zealander, is accused of "preparing pornographic materials," a charge which could see them face up to a year in jail if found guilty.

Cambodian authorities have distributed photos which they allege show the group simulating various sexual positions. It is not clear whether the photographs were taken at the party where the arrests took place.

A spokesman for the Cambodian Interior Ministry, Khieu Sopheak, denied the arrest was part of a nationwide crackdown.

"This operation was taken under Siem Reap provincial authority. We welcome tourists but sometimes people commit a mistake against the culture and tradition of Cambodia and the law gets involved," said Sopheak, adding that "well behaved tourists should not worry."

This seems like a lesson we should all know by now: if you do anything in Cambodia you wouldn’t do in front of your parents, you’re going to prison. I’m not talking liberal, progressive, 2017 parents either; I’m talking the strictest parents of all time; I’m talking every girlfriend’s dad in every John Cusack movie. You smoke weed? Go to prison! You sell weed? Death penalty! You grind with a person of the opposite sex? Okay back to prison again!

Sure, most people would probably go and party their faces off and be okay, but it’s really not worth it to be in the minority here. How hard is it not to sexy dance on some culturally significant ruins? That seems gratuitous. When did a tropical beach become a not good enough setting to get fucked up in? What pushed us to burial grounds? It’s fair to say that in Cambodia you’ve just got to act like you’re at a middle school dance: no booze, no drugs, no dancing on graves, and three inches for Jesus between you and every lady.

P.S. Showed these photos to some of my porn friends and they were not impressed.
