Supreme Court says pornography is anything without artistic merit that
causes sexual thoughts, that's their definition, essentially. No
artistic merit, causes sexual thoughts. Hmm... Sounds like...every
commercial on television, doesn't it? You know, when I see those two
twins on that Doublemint commercial? I'm not thinking of gum. I am
thinking of chewing, so maybe that's the connection they're trying to make.
