The standards of my community in inner city Brisbane probably has different standards than those of a miscellaneous backwoods town west of QLD. And I bet theirs are more liberal than mine. Afterall, I heard mail order porno DVD sales were pretty high out west. And surely those standards differ slightly from community to community.

I would understand bringing up "community standards" (which standards body ratified them, by the way, and more importantly, where can I view the standard?) if Viva Erotica was going to be shown on TV. As far as I can tell, that's not Adult Shop's aim. How exactly does the "community" get offended by me viewing in my own home whatever it is that consenting adults get up to in this particular film? “the guidelines were in fact still representative of current community standards.”
