You're falling victim to the oldest excuse that pornmakers have offered for their works:  "It'll raise awareness of the issue."  This is blatant hypocrisy on their part.  Since the Supreme Court ruling allowing pornography if it has "socially redeeming" content, this has been their gateway into the popular culture... and the means by which they've subequently polluted it.  The definition of "art films" (as they, with utter audacity, refer to their works) is pornography thinly wrapped in a veneer of social commentary to give it legitimacy.  

But it is still pornography.  And, in "Hounddog's" case, it's the first overt attempt to legitimze child porn in the American cinema.  That's why this film is so important an issue.

Please consider this as a lesson of history and human decency:  Depravity does not cure depravity.  If it did, we'd have been living in Utopia decades ago.  Depravity- unchecked- only leads to more and greater depravity.

That's what led us on the road to "Hounddog".  And now, we've arrived.
