Johnson County is the kind of place where convenience store owners get indicted by the grand jury because they have porn on the shelf, get intimidated into taking it down, and where "community values" come from the top down and get imposed on the people. We went through a very scary period in Johnson County just a few years ago. If you don't think what's branded obscene in Johnson County counts, if you don't keep your eye on Johnson County grand juries and what they do and how long it takes them to do it, you're just not seriously interested in obscenity law in the United States.
Kansas is the kind of place where judges get removed from office because they watch porn:

This stuff in Kansas is important in determining where the risks exist for this industry, and that's why it can't be so easily dismissed as trivia.
