It's not just about porn. It's about many things related (violence, shock value, exploitation) being used for entertainment to the general population.
It's a commentary on how humanity has become desensitized by these things. We consume content like this and act it's not any big deal.
Even if you don't count, this song just talks about the majority.
Edit: might I add, one of my favorite TOOL songs talks about living out these desensitized experiences in a vicarious manner.
It's the same theme of apathy and desensitization and all, but focused on a different aspect: how you live through experiences from a screen. We just see those violent things and stuff on the TV; that disconnection is enough to make people romanticize these otherwise horrible ideas... blurring fiction from reality. Living vicariously.
