The written word can be considered porn so why not song lyrics?

There are books with no pictures that are considered porn and there is spoken word audio that is considered porn so it is hardly a stretch to include lyrics if the lyrics explicitly talk about coming on people's faces and sticking your finger up their ass. The guy shouldn’t go to jail to 20 years but this was also no silly prank where he should just be slapped on the wrist either.
It doesn’t compare to the girl in Bad Ass using some dirty words, it would more like if the little girl had talked about how much she liked taking a load of cum on face and then get fucked up the ass. If she had said that people might not have thought it was cute, besides the film with was made with the full knowledge and consent of her parents and herself. This tool exploited the school and the children to make a dirty song and he should be punished for doing it. You can’t do things like that with other people’s kids.

You gotta admit it doesn't get much worse than that in terms of exposing children to obscenity.
