I disagree and I think I have a small analogy that is a pretty fair comparison. It's going to seem like I'm nit-picking, but it's the point of my arguement, so... I'm eating a bowl of Raisen Bran right now. Generally, I like cereal. Yes, saying that UW likes cereal is a pretty sound statement. However, I don't like the overly sweetened shit my kids demand every time we pass through the cereal isle of the grocery store. I don't think that I'm hypocritical if I say, I like cereal, but I won't eat Fruit Loops.

To say that pornographers are hypocrites for being selective or being offended by a certain genre of porn would mean that we must accept ALL pornography; legal, ethical, or not. Pornography is an industry, not a virtue or belief system. There really isn't any hypocrisy here - just selectivity.
