Actually the problem would most likely be that you would have to prove that you DIDN'T intend to mislead anyone to a jury that would probably consist of 12 parents in some very religious anti-porn area.

The intent of the law seems obvious, however it is vague enough (perhaps intentionally so) that it could give some wack job prosecutor the tools to simply harass webmasters with frivilous lawsuits.

Notice that they did not specify what language is not supposed to be used; the FCC has clear guidelines about what is acceptable language and what is not (they give broadcasters a list of words that are forbidden). We have not been given this courtesy.
