So if life imitates art, and a piece of suppossed art models a destructive form of behavior that we would never want to see indulged, should that piece of art be banned?

Are you saying that pornography is art?

I would say that every creation, however crude, is art and that there is no such thing as "pornography" except according to a standard that is different in the mind of every viewer, like "good" art and "bad" art. Pornography and bad art are a matter of taste. What do you think of that?

Art, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
