Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Protection from Pornography Week?!?!?
I don't.... understand...
But I'm glad there's a showing of Rocky tomorrow. It'll feel good to shove a symbolic stick up this proclamation's ass and say SEX IS A BEAUTIFUL THING! BEING SEXY IS NOT SHAMEFUL! If pornography is harmful to a relationship, there was something wrong with that relationship already that should be dealt with. What's next? Laws forbidding the exposure of a navel or shoulder in public? Classification of the female orgasm as a mental disorder?
Pornography, in my opinion, doesn't by itself objectify women. Pornography shows off human sexuality, yes, and I think that both the male body and the female body are attractive. The problem is that the ones who pay for the majority of porn prefer to ogle simply the female form, and by simple economics, more female porn is produced. Honestly, take a look around the Louvre. There's a bunch of paintings and statues of naked women, in some pretty lewd poses by the standards of the day. There are actually depictions of PEOPLE HAVING SEX! Even some gods! This is art, this is a celebration of the beauty of the human body!
Honestly, people, if you're going to say that God created Man in his image, you might as well take some pride in that image.
Maybe sometime tonight I'll take a trip to Sensations to buy some porn in protest. I won't show it in the lounge, but I might in my room. Anyone with me?

Honestly, if Dubya wants to "protect" marriage with one hand, and protect those who are married from the saving grace of some marriages...
... I think he's nuts.
But I'd really rather not think about his nuts, because that isn't pr0n.
