Thats correct Conky. Anything that apeals solely to "a prurient interest" is obscene under the definition given by the Supremes. In other words, if theres no message and its just good for jerking off, its obscene. Which describes 90% of Gonzo (but not Rob Black's movies cause they usually have a nun in bondage or some other political message.)
But alot of the obscenity cases are based on a time when you had to go to a stroke theatre in public. In the age of the internet, I'm not sure the same logic applies. If it looks like the only interest the government has is regulate peoples thoughts, I think Max has a shot to change law and win. Of course, when the deciders see some of Max's best work logic and reason may be replaced by revulsion and vomit. Theres a reason why Max was chosen.
