Just as a note, the US Supreme Court ruled on this very topic this week and

adults in a way that made them appear to be being carried out by children
were not child pornography, per se.)
I still wanna know what a cow paddie is, though. I know what rice paddies
are, and cow patties too, but cow paddies are a new one on me. :-)
