Obscenity lacks a good societally shared connotation or denotation in the
US, much less worldwide.  There's nothing wrong with someone who does see
the Virgin Killer cover as obscene - it's a question of personal judgement,
to a large degree.

Community enforcement of community decisions on those personal judgements,
however, is preferred.

I know of people who fetishize feet and are truly offended and shocked by
the public display of bare toes.  I would prefer that they not be allowed to
unilaterally ban sandals...
