I suppose it depends on your definition of BAD. I think pornography often paints an incredibly inaccurate picture of adult sexual relations, and can encourage the concept of women as sexual objects. These effects are particularly potent considering many of porn's consumers are young men who have little other sexual experience- doesn't exactly build a healthy concept of what real sex is all about.
BUT there are a lot of qualifiers in that situation, considering that many adults watch porn and are not negatively affected by it, many porn companies are producing more "female-friendly" films and media, etc.
I don't think pornography should be banned or that it's EVIL in any way. But I don't love it either.
