It just says if it has anything a parent would consider unacceptable for their child. Do you want you child reading about a man offering his daughters up for rape? Or a woman who lusted after men who were hung like donkeys and ejaculated like horses?
Secondly if you did get off on watching dogs die then everything that has a dog die would get you off...that makes it sexual.
Just like folks in the old days used the Sears catalog to see scantily dressed women (and men, I assume).
The initial product wasn't intended for that use but that's not what the law considers.
For sexual descriptions and violent acts very few books would equal the bible. And that is what the good people of Utah are trying to protect their progeny from!
My memory is hazy but I seem to recall the sears catalog not being marketed as pornographic material.
Just because someone CAN use it for erotic feelings doesn't make it porn (per the definition of the word).
As for the law, can't speak to that...i was just going with the actual definition of the word.
Not liking the contents is one thing, but claiming it to be porn is another.
This is one of those things where common sense always prevails.
