Here's my definition of pornography-(in jest, a little)
pornography- the word a prude uses to describe media which portrays folks who
are having more fun than he is.
I guess my point here is that words like "obscene" "pornography" and "decent"
say more about the speaker than the thing the speaker is describing.
