Actually, it may work reasonably well. Not everyone is a tech genius. Using a combination of DNS, IP and content filtering, it likely will make it a lot more difficult to access porn. It won't make it unobtainable, never mind that there is so much already out there, it's too little too late. But it may curb casual use.

I don't have anything against online porn myself, and I loathe the fundamentalists as well, but there is a lot of bad sh!t that comes along with online porn. Porn sites are havens for malware, such as hijackers and dialers. Moreover, networks that host them often host "home" sites for malware and spam ops as porn ISPs are almost always very-gray-hat if not black-hat operations. And a lot of them host kiddie porn to boot. Again, the shady ISPs don't care what the phuck their customers do, as long as the checks keep coming. Blacklisting them as general security precaution is prudent and well overdue.
