No, they'd simply use it as another example of exposure of **something**
causing unacceptable behavior and argue that one must decuce from this that
viewing of erotica would lead to **whatever**.
Please, no flames about generalizations. I'm trying to avoid overuse of
net bandwidth.
Neither my associates nor my employers necessarily know of nor share my
opinions, but it sure would be nice....

I haven't seen "Cobra", but isn't there at least one scene that could be
construed as sexual?
(But officer, I saw that girl in the camaflauge fatigues, and just went
crazy :-)
Of course, there were no reports of sexual assault, so it must be a
"good 'merican movie" :-).
Violence - The American Way.
