Maybe.

Didn't Australia recently determine that a cartoon of Bart Simpson was
kiddie porn?

Mind you, when real kids _are_ involved, I totally agree - string 'em
out to dry.  But the law is amazing in its capacity for disconnecting
from reality; I've seen it said that in some jurisdictions, it's
possible for *plain text* to constitute child porn.  Even if no
children were involved in its creation whatsoever.
