I don't get it.  What justification did the, ahem, good-faith editors 
use to argue that we needed fair-use close-ups of kiddie porn instead of 
the photograph (also, admittedly, of kiddie porn ... but more 
appropriate and tasteful, if that word can be applied here).

My second question is: how on Earth did this shit ever get to be *legal* 
in Japan?  Some people are *really* sick.
