Depends on who you ask.
In some intelligence circles cats are referred to as "St. Up ID" aka "St. Uppity" because they always like to show your their asses ... almost as if they're begging for some sort of trophy or something.
On the other hand ... over time, cats have developed mice/Rat & human mind-altering poop:

... leading to incidents such as:

So basically, cats poop, Ratz eats the SH!I.T. code, becomes fearless, cat attacks what it assumes is free food and learns a lesson:

This is a bizarre random movie theater closing of a place that had some great reviews on Yelp ... yet closed for "undisclosed business circumstances":

It had great cheap ticket rates and even cheaper matinee rates ...
Unfortunately, messing around with the National "Se Cuty Ri" Agency is a very expensive proposition:

I'm always skeptical about claims that $MOVIE couldn't be made today that was made in a past decade. Lolita's title character was 3-4 years older than the character in the book in both films. Pretty Baby was very controversial when it came out. (ADDED: And I'd entertain the thought that it might be even harder to make today/be even more controversial.Might be more like HBO material.) Nymphomaniac is a European art film. Whether or not Rocky Horror and Holy Grail would be appealing to modern audiences I don't know but I see no reason they couldn't be made.
In another vein, I've also seen the claim made that Heathers couldn't be made today because of school shootings, yet it was made into a Broadway musical within the past decade.
Lolita the book is protected because it fails the third prong of the Miller test. Nabokov's Lolita is considered to have "serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific" value. However, that test sets the bar at a completely arbitrary level:
What about Adrian Lyne's 1997 movie, Lolita? It has artistic merit, but arguably not as much as the novel.
What about girls' dancing and gymnastics? Should photography of those activities, even including women's international gymnastics competitions, be banned just because, viewed with an eye toward prurience, they might qualify? Certainly the activities have artistic value, but how much?
What about purely fictional depictions of minors, either in manga (see the case of Christopher Handley's manga possession) or even in fictional stories that may not be deemed to have serious literary merit?
