NEWS.com.au | Porn alert on children's books

This news story from Australia shows a new movement to place warning labels on children's books that contain "violent, hard-core porn" that is "disguised as children's literature."

I would love to hear an example of what they consider hard-core pornography being marketed as children's books. I can't think of even a teen book that would come close to being considered hard-core porn. But then, porn is now a word that is bandied about to mean anything sexual. And yes, there are certainly sexual themes in young adult literature. But not pornography.
