“New Jersey State Police arrested a 47-year-old man, whose allegedly display of a topless Barbie doll and explicit porn magazines inside his car caused a stir at a Garden State Parkway rest area. Robert Martin, of Dennis Township, N.J., had women’s underwear on a platter, in addition to the naked doll on the dashboard of his car, investigators said. The car is still at the Ocean View Service Plaza but the porn is not; state police seized it. But people there said they certainly haven’t forgotten the graphic images they saw inside. ‘There was just stuff strategically placed and all of it was based around pornography,’ Christie Ostrander, who saw pornography in the car, said. It was a XXX eyeful that Ostrander said she got when she looked inside the Lincoln parked at the busy Ocean View Service Plaza on the Garden State Parkway in Dennis Township. ‘Very explicit pornography,’ she said. ‘It was a mixture of pornography, a Bible, cross, it was all laid out perfectly. Nobody should have to really be exposed to that.’ [...] ‘There was a thong on a gold platter,’ Ostrander said… ‘I didn’t think that possessing porn inside your car, in the back seat, was a public display,’ Robert Martin said. ‘It was not on public display, it was not a public shrine.’ Martin admits the car and the porn belong to him. ‘It was majorly way overblown,’ he said.” — NBC10 (US)

While a number of news outlets carried the story about the pornmobile, none had any images of the display inside the car. One video shows a naughty playing card with a bible visible in the background, but that’s about as raunchy as the vehicle gets once the police have denuded it of evidence. It would be helpful to know if the vehicle — and the porn — was really in sight of any children. If so, people may have grounds for complaint. (But rather than call the cops, couldn’t they have simply asked the guy to be more discreet with his adult-entertainment stash?) If not, then the whole thing is way overblown. If you’re an adult and you’re offended by the sight of the guy’s porn, then don’t look into his car.

That’s the Occam’s Razor explanation of the whole thing. In a way it’s too bad, because it would be much more interesting if there were more to it — if, say, the guy really did get off somehow by arranging little deviant tableaus of porn in his car. You could imagine him placing the naked Barbie — maybe he has a prototype of the forthcoming Fetish Barbie? — amidst this display, adding a devotional air and a note of contrast by placing the bible nearby, then hanging a wireless surveillance camera in a nearby tree to record the reactions of people passing by… It could be an appealing setup to the right perv. But still you’d have to wonder: is it his perversion to arrange the tableau? Or the voyeurism of strangers to pay the least attention to it?
