is patently offensive in light of community standards

One would think that since sex with children/sex between children/child sex with animals/ is patently illegal in all fifty states and federally as well, that virtual depictions of such could be found patently offensive in light of community standards.

It's not such a stretch, is it?

Murder is illegal in all 50 states, but if we banned all movies depicting murder, the shelves of Blockbuster would be pretty empty.

"...AND lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value..."

Context is everything. :^)
