Netflix has some NR stuff. Just saw the documentary Inside Deep Throat. Odd to think a hardcore porn film could be accepted by the mainstream as mentionable, yet prosecuted at the same time. Clips of Bob Hope and others on late night being almost nonchalant... seems out of place given the prude behavior of censorship today regarding "wardrobe malfunctions."
The documentary made an interesting comment about our society that the concept behind the obscenity charges isn't even considered a sex act by many of today's teens and young adults.
In other realms, Facebook feels its unacceptable to post images of a full breast yet clips of decapitation are okay. I am not sure where I stand on obscenity, but I find the latter to be more obscene than anything depicted in the above mentioned documentary.
