As much as some people make fun of those of us with the big collections (and it's all digital!), it can't be as bad as hoarding ceiling-high piles of junk, with a couple cat skeletons thrown in!  Plus, it would all be a bunch of dudes behind closed doors, yelling "I'm just paying the bills online, don't come in here!"  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

The financially lean times certainly don't help though, plus how the industry (or even just certain sites, like what happened to AbbyWinters) have to play pinball with increasingly strict rules and regulations, even ones that come from so-called progressives or others who claim to "protect liberty." Add to this the ease with which everything digital can now be downloaded, copied, and then distributed, regardless of copyright protection or angry lawyer threats. Bottom line, the industry's going to have to figure out how to best keep both their customers and the politicians happy--which at this point is a tug-of-war match--while making the product worth people's hard-earned money.

Though I wouldn't call him "impressive" myself, James Deen comes to mind when you're talking about a porn star who seems to delight both female viewers and co-stars. He's not some steroidal, ex-con-looking freak with a boner, but he's certainly not Ron Jeremy-fat or hairy either. Deen's rabid (horny) female fan base seems to be attracted to his comparatively innocent boy-next-door looks and the fact that he isn't some vile Max Hardcore impersonator. And porn girls actually want to work with him because of his nice guy personality, sexual reliability (he's still in his 20s), and the overall lack of creepiness that seems to afflict a lot of the regular porn actors. Hell, his interviewers (female ones, of course) even seem to want to fuck him. And judging by his blog, guys probably envy him or just plain hate him for having the life that he does.

No offense to The Hedgehog, but c'mon! Jeremy is conspicuously overweight--hell, it is part of his trademark look. To say that the two are completely unrelated would surprise me. Genetics could also be playing a part, and the fact that the heart can cause huge problems for people of all ages and levels of health. But to be honest, I wish he would stay behind the camera. I feel sorry for the young beauties who will inevitably share the screen with him. Of course I feel the same about most guys I see in porn.  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

The prudish jackasses who run the competing networks. Seriously, it's television--image matters. Fox News worked hard to come up with its mix of bright, eye-catching (contrasting bright blues and reds) graphics; well-lit sets; and yes, its army of blonde talking heads to draw in the eyeballs and the ratings. Never mind that it at times makes Goebbels look like an amateur in comparison, but it works!  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Speed is key, and a shit ton of luck always helps. For example, if you are attacked from behind and quickly knocked unconscious then you don't exactly have the upper hand, much less a fighting chance unless your attacker has no interest in bothering with you further. Running away is probably your best bet in a lot of situations. This insane idea of "standing your ground" like you're in a Charles Bronson film is just asking for trouble--not to mention criminal charges, once the actual authorities arrive--and could easily get you killed when you realize that no amount of training and/or gym time can magically protect you from knife and gunshot wounds.

I would think that's the whole issue, since weight (or mass, if you're measuring in kg) doesn't really tell you a whole lot about someone's body. Even combined with other measurements (height, waist, chest, etc.), it can still not be a good indicator of what would truly make a "fair fight," if such a thing even exists. Women and men have different fat and muscle ratios and they're distributed around the body differently. And I would think the worry would be that a transgender fighter, even post-op, still has an unfair advantage. Genetically speaking, she may just have an easier time building or maintaining a certain amount of muscle that a weight classification would not make a difference. Sort of like how two cars could be the same exact weight, but their engines, transmissions, and suspensions could be very different and you wouldn't want to race them against each other.

Through the a combination of the magic of editing, forearm endurance, and of course the little blue pharmaceutical miracle.

I think I pretty much agree 100% with you, CT, including the confused part.  The problem, at least as I see it, is that tattoos are treated like so many other things in porn--another tag or genre-qualifying selling point. It is a business after all, and whatever could possibly attract more eyeballs/open wallets is given free reign to sell the performer and the porn. So, instead of just a girl with tattoos, you have someone who may lean towards the Suicide Girls-look of things. And if she is shaved, properly pierced, and has her hair dyed then she's likely already been there and done that. Or conversely she can grow a bush and suddenly she can sell herself as "hairy" to every site that has decided such a thing now warrants mentioning, since they don't want to risk offending every panting smooth body lover out there. Tweak the formula a little bit and maybe you can make some more money off of it. Or maybe someone can just go whole hog, pump her lips full of collagen, get some back-straining (not to mention gravity-defying) breast implants, and, why not, a lot more tattoos, and never look back. And after seeing more than enough of it I guess I'm guilty of simply being bored with it all, in both porn and real life. Because when everyone and her mother is doing it, finding a girl with no tattoos and all that other vain shit we (including myself! ) have indulged in can feel like finding the survivor of a suicide cult who didn't drink the Kool-Aid (or Flavor Aid, if you want to get technical).

Don't give them any ideas, Drooler! Even the more criminal pornographers out there--Seymore Butts, Max Hardcore, and John Stagliano, just to name three--are still way more trustworthy with money than some of the biggest banks I can think of. (For one thing, porn companies usually don't advertise their product with Vikings.) What does it say about our country that our government will spend time and money fighting what it views as "obscene"--those filthy pornographers and their products that, at worse, make people wish they could do more in bed--but will spend billions rescuing institutions that imploded under their own drunken greed and fuck-it-all mismanagement? Charging $1 for bullshit "previews" like these is annoying, and BangBros does come off as one of the more irritatingly doucherier porn sites out their, but I doubt they've done anything as shitty as, say, launder money for drug cartels or finagled a secret deal to protect them from numerous legal claims!

Very true. But it can be hard to tell the exact reason for a lower cost or a sale. Glut of relatively unpopular products that aren't so good? Or did they stock too many of an older model that's being updated but it's still a decent product? Hard disk drives are a very good value in terms of cost per amount of space, but the nature of how they operate--parts moving at very high speed and reaching high temperatures--sets them up for eventual mechanical failure.

Then does looking at gay porn constitute an act? Hell, if they have sharia law then probably just thinking of committing such an act is a crime. It's like The Minority Report but instead of precogs they can just proclaim "Because we said so, blasphemer!" Something interesting about Internet porn habits and Egypt here. The authorities never learn: rant and rave about keeping your hands out of the veritable cookie jar of fun and pleasure and the instant they turn their backs you'll reach in.

That's probably because most of the U.S. still legislates the hell out of sex, or even the possibility of sex, so "massage" is euphemistic for brothel.
This one struck me too. Don't know if it's people only searching for their own race in porn (since the majority of American porn is assumed to be white, otherwise the race becomes a genre), or people searching for forbidden fruit in a less racially harmonious region of the country. Like how some social conservatives publicly oppose homosexuality or gay marriage but probably have no problem with girl-girl porn (but really, who does?  ). "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I think a case like this would be common (not to mention logical) on Germany's Autobahn where for much of the highway posted speed limits don't exist and the left lane is strictly for passing and the right lanes are for driving. (Unless you're some rich asshole with a fast enough car to simply pass everyone.) Leave it to the U.S. to criminalize the person actually obeying the posted speed limit because the all-knowing powers that be pronounced it "unsafe"--i.e., the officer had some free time on his hands, now pay this ticket and shut the fuck up!--while the nitwits who are blatantly breaking the law continue on their merry way.

The stereotype seems to be that LA has the worst traffic but I think the DC-Maryland-Virginia area have actually grabbed the No. 1 spot for the last few years. I would think this is because of jurisdiction limiting LA's hassles (if only a tiny bit) and suburban sprawl feeding the problem around DC, because even though Los Angeles County is massive, it does have definitive borders. The "DC area" is pretty vague and can at times include everything from Quantico, VA (site of a big Marine Corps base south of DC) to Baltimore, MD. This would be a corridor of over 75 miles and include millions of people, and yes, traffic can be a shitstorm every mile of the way. This would also make its drivers vulnerable to the assholery of MD and VA state troopers, as well as county and city police officers within those areas. (DC has numerous law enforcement agencies but most don't deal with traffic.) Add in generally worse weather (particularly in the winter), an overdriven populace of federally funded "professionals," plus more conservative local governments, and I'd agree that traffic is worse there. Still, allow your government to have too much power, combined with too much time on its hands (because cases like this are clearly not serious crimes), and you get the impression of a dumb, power-hungry police force.

I've personally never understood the appeal of celebrity sex tapes. They're boring, poorly shot, and generally not intended for an audience beyond the couple (or threesome, or whatever) who are in the video. And even then it's not totally consensual, like the Paris Hilton, which I assume is why it's essentially night vision-lit, i.e. not at all, lest she would have discovered her dipshit of a partner's camera. The Paris Hilton tape sort of proves how non-porn these things really are. Rick Salomon, her partner, has shacked up with numerous other famous women, albeit off camera, and started selling the sex tape himself. Eventually ol' Rick got a deal with Red Light District--who have literally hundreds of other videos that were always intended as porn--but may not have gotten the last laugh. Apparently Paris was paid at least $400K + a percentage of the video's profits as a result of a legal settlement, an amount few porn stars could even seriously dream of, much less actually make on one video. Still, that makes even me smile. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual.

True. And if this next (last?) Star Wars trilogy is a sequel then Disney hopefully won't insert younger versions of those actors from old footage, like they did with the newer DVD releases by replacing the original actor (Sebastian Shaw) who played the ghost of Anakin Skywalker at the end of Return of the Jedi with the younger Hayden Christensen from the prequels.

He certainly didn't hate the money. He supposedly got a percentage of whatever the director (Lucas for Episode IV) earned in residuals for the rest of his life. Guiness died in 2000, so merchandise, video games, VHS, and maybe even DVDs, likely brought him some healthy royalty checks over the years. I don't think any of the original younger actors could pull off that kind of a deal that early in their careers, or at least not anywhere as much as Guiness or for Episode IV. Still, you have faith in a big project like that--Guiness believed it would be successful--and you play your cards right then it can pay off quite well. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

They weren't all young in the original series. Alec Guiness (Obi-Wan) and Peter Cushing (General Moff Tarkin) were born in 1914 and '13 respectively, making them both in their 60s when they played their roles in Episode IV. Of course both characters are killed off rather climatically. Guiness never seemed to have many positive things to say about his role, and was kind of let down when Stars Wars nerds identified him solely because of a series of films that he thought were childish and full of silly dialogue (he might have a point there ). I'd imagine a guy who had already worked for decades as an actor, including in Shakespeare plays and Oscar-winning films, a sci-fi series is best regarded for its paycheck and not much else.What happened with Ford, Fischer, and Hamill is pretty different. Ford of course became one of the biggest stars of all time while Hamill and Fisher never seemed to fully escape that weird fan universe Star Wars birthed. Still maybe they can at least bring back Han Solo just so he can lethally blast that awful Jar Jar Binks or freeze him in carbonite--permanently! "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Also, given that she seems to be famous simply for being famous--a "socialite" in polite company--and is one of the genetic products of an attorney who willingly helped to defend O.J Simpson, I don't really have much interest in seeing her do porn, or frankly being anywhere near a camera.

Technically yes, but I'd assume it's not noticeable. And if he is then it might partly explain why the world is running out (ok, him and our insistence on having the inalienable right to party balloons that float). Thanks a lot Larry.

Absolutely it does! Don't think that Fox News' supposed social conservatism would ever keep them from having just one of their blonde army's talking heads (and here's even more) present the "news" (or whatever one could reasonably call the content seen on cable news). Supposedly the state of Utah has some of the heaviest Internet porn traffic, and they're practically a theocracy in some ways, though at least not when it comes to spinning up your personal hard drive. But somehow I don't imagine porn being a tenet of a religion that's petty enough to frown upon drinking coffee and wearing unblessed undergarments. Everyone's got skeletons in their closets, but it's the ones who screech the loudest about how unquestionably clean their own is (and how dirty everyone else's are) who are probably hiding some pretty big secrets. (Which I guess means that at this point I'm hiding huge stockpiles of bibles and wedding magazines in mine. ) "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Money is the most obvious answer and also seems to be the most typical in these good-girl-does-porn scandals of the week. The girl in the video says she needed the money, and I think it was before Melissa King won the title, which isn't so much about cash prizes anyway. According to the pageant's site the 2012 finalists had a number of prizes, which seem to vary each year according to the sponsors, but they were all eligible for a $40,000 scholarship to Lindenwood University. Which sounds fine, though LIndenwood is a private school and this statement from their website made my skin crawl: "Lindenwood is an independent institution firmly rooted in Judeo-Christian values. Those values include belief in an ordered, purposeful universe, the dignity of work, the worth and integrity of the individual, the obligations and privileges of citizenship and the primacy of truth." What the fuck does "the primacy of truth" even mean? Are there schools out there that don't hold "truth" as a value? Either way, I doubt I sucked a guy off on video counts for "the dignity of work" part, though apparently sponsoring something as vain as a beauty contest is totally cool with the big dude in the sky. Either way I ultimately get pissed that all the critics and porn-bashers totally miss the economic reality of "doing it for the money" when they also, and almost unanimously agree to a T, that social welfare of any kind is an unnecessary evil that only breeds parasites and laziness. If these do-as-I-sayers can't grasp why a young, relatively uneducated woman, with few social and economic opportunities chooses (because the concept of free will is also lost on our moral superiors) to do porn than they have no business telling them why it's so bad for them in the first place.

If someone got it on their penis I suppose so--ouch! I remember when I got mine (in the military years ago) they also gave you ziploc bags and extra bandages. Whenever you took off the old bandage you were supposed to put it in the bag, soak it in undiluted chlorine bleach, seal it up, and then finally throw it away. I guess it was pretty risky if someone came in contact and wasn't vaccinated themselves (the CDC website says it hasn't vaccinated the general public since 1972, it's really not a common vaccine anymore). Pain in the ass for a vaccine though; cutaneous (applied to broken skin, not a shot), contagious (obviously), and probably doesn't even get professional scaremonger and snake oil peddler Jenny McCarthy up in arms.

It's how our system is set up, with immensely powerful interests defending every part of it, so you would have to turn everything upside down to truly have something resembling universal healthcare. I remember watching a Q&A video with Christopher Hitchens, who was born in Britain but eventually became an American citizen, where he was asked about universal healthcare in the U.S. He responded that he thought that a large part of America don't actually want it, including those who would benefit from it most. I don't remember his answer exactly (it's on YouTube somewhere), but he said people seem to view it as a sort of personal liberty, being free and independent in regards to what they choose to do with their own lives. An insane view in my opinion, if you consider the consequences of not being able to see a doctor, as well as how so many of our laws determine just how much liberty you really have over your own body (drug usage, right-to-die, abortion, etc.). The state of American healthcare is something I find deeply troubling, but the fact that a percentage of Americans may agree with it, no matter how dire the consequences are for them personally, may be even more troubling.

Porn Claims Another Mainstream Career Path? Sad news from the bizarre world of beauty pageantry: The Miss Delaware Teen USA 2013 has resigned, handing over her crown (or sash, or whatever) for allegedly starring in a porn scene from the unimaginatively named site GirlsDoPorn. It doesn't seem to be confirmed that King is the girl in the video (here are the screen grabs), but the actress claims to compete in beauty pageants--from an unnamed state, of course--and had just turned 18, in the same month as King apparently. Either way I get a kick out of the notion that a beauty pageant contestant could feel tainted by a single Internet porn video. The Miss USA pageants are in fact run by the billionaire combover that is Donald Trump, and seem to treat their contestants as little more than anthropomorphized Barbie dolls. Is any of this surprising in a society that watches the televised child abuse of Toddlers & Tiaras, and cared deeply that the Miss USA 2009 runner-up had about as progressive a view on gay marriage as the Westboro Baptist Church? Still, if you look good enough to wear a shimmery dress and maintain a frozen smile, all for the honor and glory of a crown and meaningless title, I say you should at least be allowed to do porn as well.

Maybe Canada thinks for-profit healthcare is a violation of the Hippocratic Oath? (It certainly isn't what I'd call moral.) Time magazine recently published an article about the wickedly profitable state of American medical care. It wasn't so much about doctors getting the most riches (though they're hardly in danger of applying for unemployment benefits), but how health in the U.S. operates as a continually profitable economy that is separate from the rest of the economy and never suffers recession. Even "nonprofit" facilities can bring in truckloads of money because of the lack of price controls, wide variations in prices between hospitals, and the way customers/patients can't easily comparatively shop they way they can for other consumer goods and services. Of course try to make a movie about this absurd system and you probably would end up with something as nauseating as Saw VI. Some critics interpreted it as subtly criticizing the national healthcare debate at the time, which is probably appropriate considering it's insanely gory torture porn.

Zero Dark 30 has been the progressive controversy du jour since before it was even released. Critics of Obama and Bush II's wars, and their foreign policies in general, have been jumping at the opportunity to give it a lot of shit because it seems to validate the worst theories of how to fight terrorism (torture/"enhanced interrogation"=catching Bin Laden). Defenders of the film have sort taken this all as criticism of the movie itself, which generally isn't the issue. Like saying The Grey or Jaws were bad pictures because they have a negative view of nature and wild animals. They can both be good films with terrible messages. Bu I get more pissed off not so much by the factual minutiae but any overall context that is sacrificed for the comfortable boundaries of a movie's specific story or "interpretation." Just off the top of my head, Charlie Wilson's War is one of the best examples, because it presents a rather lighthearted portrait of a guy who's actions would eventually lead to the Taliban to taking over Afghanistan. It's still an entertaining movie, but afterwards I couldn't help but think Why the fuck was any of that shit supposed to be a good idea? Yeah, Charlie Wilson seemed to have been a rather harmless character for a congressman who was a skirt-chasing, coke-snorting drunkard, but you'd have to have been living in a cave--and probably not one in Afghanistan--to ignore the connection between the U.S.'s supply of weapons to Afghanistan in the '80s and then the dangerous power vacuum once the Soviets left. But hey, we struck a knockout punch to communism and, really, what else matters? Al Qaeda who? Just my  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

You mean like Fargo? And even if something is a "true story" how much of what we are seeing onscreen is even real? Is that a stunt double--are those her real tits? Is he really driving that car? Wait, this wasn't shot on location? Fake fake fake!  Arguably documentaries can be worse because they are ostensibly "real"--no SFX, stunts, or script. But then you have Errol Morris-style slo-mo retellings, Michael Moore-style editing, and whatever the hell this falls under. At least it's good for some entertainment if not much in the way of education.
Worse! He may not be the Antichrist, but he is "paving the way for the future reign of the Antichrist."

Rubenesque was the original BBW genre. It is interesting how things have changed in terms of body image and its implied social status throughout history. Fat was indeed perceived as rich in the past--money for food and for servants to do all the heavy lifting--now we've turned it into a shaming device to ridicule people as undisciplined, lazy, and of course too dumb to simply eat what is "right." Funny how in much of today's culture it is okay for the fit and thin know-it-alls to pass off their own dietary choices as how everyone else should eat and live. Even worse it allows a mayor of a large city to further vent his idiotic Napoleon complex on his subjects. In an inverse change of what is actually healthy, fair skin used to be a symbol of being well off. A tanned complexion was seen as that of a laborer's, particularly one who worked outside in the fields. Now we tell people they have a "healthy glow" (dermatologists would say otherwise) or that you "need" some sun (and they need to shut the fuck up and learn what sunburns and skin cancer are! ). Unless you're suffering from vitamin D deficiency--which is pretty difficult if you're not malnourished--a tan should really be avoided. And now we have plastic surgery, a whole other can of worms, and with huge profits to boot! "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Yeah, it seems that as usual the moral and decency laws aren't just scared of sex but just plain ignorant of the human body itself, particularly the female's, what with all the mysterious parts and functions. I mean, who could possibly understand any of it?  But the labia aren't equivalent to the penis in that if they're bigger, or appear to be, it means the woman is turned on--they just naturally are that way on many women. The clitoris would be most analogous in that it can change size from arousal, but a lot of porn never even acknowledges it, much less tries to show it. Kinda goes back to the pioneering days of Hustler in that it was revolutionary for being one of the first big porn magazines to show that female genitalia consisted of more than just a gauzy haze of pubic hair. Of course empowering women was probably about the last thing on anyone's mind at Hustler. Even today (or last time I remember looking at one) it seems that Playboy treats the shaven cameltoe as out of focus and vague, since the bush is all but extinct. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Found an article rebutting the empowerment idea of the site, saying: "But when you start a movement that says, 'Our porn-obsessed society thinks your vagina is weird, but it's not,' you risk reinforcing the first part of that message before moving on to the empowerment part." The author also spoke to porn empress Nina Hartley and said that she's "seen 'every type of vulva' in her three decades working in the industry. When young women start out in porn, producers don't send them off for a routine labiaplasty, she says. They tend to instead say, 'You want to take off your clothes and have sex on camera? Yay!'" Thank you Nina. Maybe the site should get rid of the 'like' feature, but it's not that I ever want women to stop taking photos of themselves.  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Can This Really Be Blamed On Porn? I read an article on Salon today about the "Labia Pride" movement. This movement is basically an Internet trend to help women, through photo-rich blogs like this one, feel good and proud about the utter uniqueness and normality of their labia and bodies more generally. There's no real equivalent of this for guys, since I assume that's what team sports and Chatroulette are for, but anything that makes women feel better about who they are while also posting pictures of themselves sounds good to me. Still, it blames part of the problem of labiaplasty surgery and big lip embarrassment on Internet porn because it's become such an easy way for young women to see a lot of other women's bodies, particularly those damned pussy lips. The blog I linked points toward mainstream American porn as mostly to blame, though also allowing that "it depends on the porn you look at," mentioning some sites that seem to "break that mold" of small labia (Met-Art, MPL, Hegre, FTV). Which I'm not buying. Plenty of porn starlets have fake tits and Botoxed mugs, but just as many have small, natural breasts and lovely, uncut labia. And this is in mainstream porn. Hell, the guys seem to trend towards hairlessness, steroid-fueled muscles, and perpetually hard third-arm-sized erections, but are male viewers so insecure that they think this is the norm or that they need surgery? I blame the gilded assholes who offer such surgery as cosmetic "enhancement" (hey, it's not done for free) and the class of narcissists who willingly go in for such things, even offering such nuggets of wisdom as "I think she [her labia] looks better in a jar than hanging down there." Yes, someone really said that, and then it was put on TV. Am I alone in being perfectly happy whenever I get access to a woman's labia, regardless of their size, shape, or color?

Also to add to this Dracula theme, I would think, since in the original book he (you?!) had crates full of Transylvanian dirt shipped to England that you might be into salirophilia, or being turned on by literally getting dirty with someone or getting them dirty. Also mentioned in the link's list, hematolagnia (vampire fetish) definitely applies, and maybe somnophilia (watching someone sleep) as well. Though if Dracula is undead and hundreds of years old and then feeds on the blood of younger victims, making them undead too, isn't that sort of a necrophilia? (The whole I'm-hundreds-of-years-older-than-you thing is probably some sort of chronophilia.) "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I'm sure there are, but for a guy with the username Dracula and location listed as Romania you already have us plenty worried! On the plus side it sounds like a pretty inexpensive fetish, and how many gals (or guys) do much to cover up their necks?
