US law requires that in order for something to be deemed obscene (and thus banned), the material “must be taken as a whole,” a standard originally imposed so that, you know, they don’t end up banning a book like Tropic of Capricorn based on just the sexy bits.

In the Hardcore trial, jurors reacted poorly to watching so much footage of the ever resourceful Max fisting girls in smeared make-up and pissing on them while they cried, so the prosecutors pushed for an exemption after a few hours. We’re all for freedom of speech, but somehow we’re doubtful that granny would have changed her mind after watching twelve more hours of women getting fucked with baguettes.
