You know that urban legend about an American tourist in Mexico who gets picked up by a prostitute, dosed with Rohypnol, and wakes up fourteen hours later in a bathtub full of ice?  The real shocker comes when he finds a card on the rim of the tub telling him that he’s now missing a kidney, and needs to get to the emergency room, because who takes the time to send a card anymore?  Nowadays you’re much more likely to get a Thank You email, or worse, a text, and taking the time to handwrite a card — especially in these difficult circumstances — just seems like a really thoughtful gesture.  I mean, most people I know, even my close friends and family, wouldn’t bother to send a traditional greeting card if they’d stolen one of my kidneys.  They’d probably leave a voice mail, or at best — if they got a good price for it on the transplant black market — they might splurge and send me one of those animated e-cards, which I’m not even sure would be appropriate in this situation.

Anyway, the point is, what if nude, barely legal lesbians, and hunky guys with oily pecs were performing brain surgery on you when you least expected it?  You’d be miffed, right?  Well, according to Texas neurosurgeon Donald L. Hilton, Jr., MD, pornography is a game changing brain changer, and Cinemax is doing to America what the Ludovico Technique did to Malcolm McDowell in A Clockwork Orange.

SLAVE MASTER:  How Pornography Drugs & Changes Your Brain

Pornography is a visual pheromone, a powerful, $100 billion per year brain drug that is changing human sexuality by “inhibiting orientation” and “disrupting pre-mating communication between the sexes by permeating the atmosphere,” especially through the internet. I believe we are currently struggling in the war against pornography because many continue to believe two key fallacies:

Fallacy No. 1: Pornography is not a drug.

This is obviously a fallacy, since under Federal law, no pornographic film can be released to consumers before it’s first been tested on animals and approved by the FDA.  However, some critics maintain that if pornography were really a drug, there’d be more pictures on TMZ of Lindsay Lohan trying to snort a Hustler magazine.  Also, it’s harder than you’d think to cook a Realdoll in a spoon. But Dr. Hilton Jr., MD proves that pornography is so a pharmaceutical, by pointing out that the body produces adrenaline and dopamine, and yet both these substances can also be administered by physicians.  Similarly, the brain manufactures sexual fantasies, and yet Larry Flynt is allowed to sell you porn without first graduating from medical school.

Which raises another issue: Viagra is regulated as a drug, so why does the FDA still allow men to get erections without a prescription?

Let’s review some of the important components of the reward system of the brain. On the outside is the cerebral cortex, a layer of nerve cells that carry conscious, volitional thought. In the front, over the eyes, are the frontal lobes. These areas are important in judgment, and, if the brain were a car, the frontal lobes would be the brakes. These lobes have important connections to the pleasure pathways, so pleasure can be controlled.

This is explained more fully in Dr. Hilton Jr.’s book, Pleasure? Hit the Brakes!

It’s the overuse of the dopamine reward system that causes addiction…This resetting of the “pleasure thermostat” produces a “new normal.” In this addictive state, the person must act out in addiction to boost the dopamine to levels sufficient just to feel normal. As the desensitization of the reward circuits continues, stronger and stronger stimuli are required to boost the dopamine. In the case of narcotic addiction, the addicted person must increase the amount of the drug to get the same high. In pornography addiction, progressively more shocking images are required to stimulate the person.

Say you enjoy looking at pictures of women with big breasts.  At first you may be content with that Christina Hendricks spread in Esquire; but as your nucleus accumbens gradually becomes desensitized, you will be driven to seek out images of increasingly larger breasts — Lynda Carter in Bobby Jo and the Outlaw, Anita Ekberg in Call Me Bwana, Heidi Montag in various acts of desperation — until finally you’re incapable of feeling arousal except when watching that one scene from Woody Allen’s Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex with the monstrous, free-roaming tit. In the interests of dopamine conservation, the Department of Energy and Pornography recommends setting your pleasure thermostat at 68°F in winter.  But pornography, like a homeopathic Superfly, pushes other naturally occurring drugs on the brain too:

Oxytocin and vasopressin are important hormones in the brain with regard to physically performing sexually. Studies show that oxytocin is also important in increasing trust in humans, in emotional bonding between sexual mates, and in parental bonding. We are wired to bond to the object of our sexuality.

So porn can interfere with a parent’s natural desire to commit incest.

It is a good thing when this bonding occurs in a committed marriage relationship, but there is a dark side. When sexual gratification occurs in the context of pornography use, it can result in the formation of a virtual mistress of sorts. Dr. Victor Cline, in his essay, “Pornography’s Effects on Adult and Child,” describes this process as follows:

“In my experience as a sexual therapist, any individual who regularly masturbates to pornography is at risk of becoming, in time, a sexual addict, as well as conditioning himself into having a sexual deviancy and/or disturbing a bonded relationship with a spouse or girlfriend.A frequent side effect is that it also dramatically reduces their capacity to love (e.g., it results in a marked dissociation of sex from friendship, affection, caring, and other normal healthy emotions and traits which help marital relationships). Their sexual side becomes in a sense dehumanized. Many of them develop an ‘alien ego state’ (or dark side), whose core is antisocial lust devoid of most values.”

As we saw in the Star Wars prequels, Annakin Skywalker was led astray from the path of Light by fear and anger, but in the end he succumbed to the Dark Side — tragically, inevitably — only because he’d been jerking off to too much Twi’lek porn.

Let me use a fishing analogy to illustrate some of these concepts. Every August, if possible, I try to be on the Unalakleet River in Alaska fishing for silver salmon. We use a particular lure, a triple hook called the Blue Fox pixie. As fisherman know, it is important to keep the drag loose just after hooking the fish, when it still has a lot of fight. As the fish tires, though, we tighten the drag and increase the resistance. In this way the fish is reeled into the boat and netted.

This is just a guess, Doc, but if your wife has to hear this story every goddamn year, I bet she’d rather you just rub one out.

Why is it essential to understand the addictive nature of pornography?

Because you’ve got a book to sell?

Below you will find an Excerpt from his Donald L. Hilton’s book, “He restoreth My Soul”

“Most, if not all, families will be affected by pornography.

Really?  Most, if not all?  Well, I grew up in a family affected by addiction, and I’d have been thrilled if my mother had been hooked on porn instead of tranqs and vodka, if for no other reason than I would’ve felt much safer driving with her when she was under the influence of Coffee, Tea or Me? or Jacqueline Susanne’s The Love Machine.

If you are a man, you must first safeguard yourself.

Wear two wetsuits to bed, and insert a dildo to prevent porn from sneaking in the “back door” while you sleep.

If you are secretly involved, hopefully this work will convince you there will never be peace for you until you are healed. If you are free from addiction now, you must still guard yourself against future addiction, as all are vulnerable who are not “sober and vigilant,” as Peter warned. If you are a father, it is essential to understand what your sons will be exposed to and that he will be at serious risk for addiction at some point in his life. If you are a woman…

You’re safe, because women are immune to porn.  However…

please understand that this problem is real and must be confronted head on.

Apply porn directly to forehead.  That way it’s harder to masturbate to.  Unless you’re Carnac the Magnificient.


“Three Men and a Little Labia.”

You also need to be aware of the profound risk your sons face.

One Guess Jeans ad and they’re hooked! But even though your daughters are born with natural porn anti-bodies, they will, like St. Damien of Molokai, daily walk amongst those with a horrible affliction…

studies are showing that the young men whom [your daughters] will date and consider for marriage have virtually all been exposed and many have been or are addicted, to a lesser or greater degree. It is imperative that every young woman understands the scope and seriousness of this problem. Her awareness will help her to be discerning in dating and eventually choosing a marriage partner. Our extended family members are also at risk: sons and daughters-in-law, grandchildren and their spouses, and other loved ones.

Cissy!  Junior!  Aunt Sadie!  Nana and Pop-Pop!  All furiously and constantly masturbating to porn!  Imagine the Walton home, but instead of each day ending with a sleepy but cheerful, “Good-night, Jim-Bob,” “Good-night Mary Ellen,” “Good-night, John-Boy,” you near nothing but low, feral grunts and the restless flipping of magazine pages.

Now, I take addiction seriously, I know it’s a problem that can destroy lives and families, still, this hysteria savors a bit of those 16mm anti-drug films they’d show us in school, where a Jackie Kennedy-like Junior Miss would take one reluctant puff of marijuana at a party, and two seconds later she was selling her body in the Negro part of town.  So after reading his 5000 word article, and lengthy excerpts from his book on porn-dependency,  I guess my question for Dr. Hilton is: how does an obsession differ from an addiction?

We’ll leave you now with this searing image:

If “sex is a river of fire,” dopamine and other brain drugs are the fuel. Like the astronauts of Apollo 11, we can ride this energy to the heavens, or be consumed in its exhaust, depending on whether we are above the engines in the command module or underneath them, thus exposed to the heat.

I think we can all agree, it’s better to ride the rocket.

Dr. Henry A. Bowman said, “No really intelligent person will burn a cathedral to fry an egg, even to satisfy a ravenous appetite,” yet the flamethrower of pornography is torching many cathedrals of marital, parental, and familial love today.

So watch where you point that thing.

P.S. the first commenter corroborates the good Doctor’s theories by citing the pioneering work of human sexuality expert Ted Bundy.

41 Responses to “National Geographic Is A Gateway Drug!”

So I should avoid fishing with astronauts? Can do!

And ride the rocket is something I always enjoy telling women.

Dopamine is also released by eating, and sleep. Is the good suggesting we abstain from food and stay awake for as long as possible, lest we face the horrible spectre of having to eat and sleep on a daily basis?

Wait, it’s already happened! My gods, I’m addicted! He was right!

Fallacy No. 1: Pornography is not a drug.

He’s right. Look, right off the bat, he’s all about the fallus!

In the front, over the eyes, are the frontal lobes.

My eyebrows do have this annoying habit of overinflating their self-worth. I find looking at my penis puts them in their place.

It’s the overuse of the dopamine reward system that causes addiction

“Dr. Hilton, why do you keep hitting your head against a brick wall?”

“Cuz the dope-I-mean feels so goooooood….”

So I was going over the article, trying to get a handle on this guy’s argument, and I started to wonder – how do these guys define “pornography”? I’m not being facetious here, I really do want to know. The definition seems to vary a great deal. I was always under the impression that all porn involved sex acts, meaning that no fewer than two people are involved. However, an awful lot of people seem to count simple nudity as pornography. Hell, some really repressed people even seem to include anything that might cause arousal, so even images or video of fully clothed persons can be porn if someone’s getting off on them.

It seems like this matters. Hilton is framing “porn addiction” as a dopamine tolerance. Now, it’s not the porn that releasing the dopamine, it’s masturbation. Yet this is not an anti-masturbation argument, it’s an anti-porn argument. Clearly the porn is an important element, so it seems appropriate to define the term.

For that matter, why would the use of porn make that much difference? Is there really a difference in brain chemistry between a person jerking off to porn and one jerking off while thinking about a real person, or one he dreamed up? If so, why?

Forgive me for the seriousness of this post, but if we’re going to keep getting this anti-porn screeds, I want one of these idiots to tell me what the word means.

“Wear two wetsuits to bed, and insert a dildo”
[fundy men rejoice]
Purely for medicinal purposes, obviously.

I just posted this to the comments for Donald Hilton’s mess at the “Salvo” site, and now share it with you:

As a feedback of sorts, the frontal lobes also atrophy, or shrink. Think of it as a “wearing out of the brake pads.” This physical and functional decline in the judgment center of the brain causes the person to become impaired in his ability to process the consequences of acting out in addiction. Addiction scientists have called this condition hypofrontality, and have noted a similarity in the behavior of addicted persons to the behavior of patients with frontal brain damage.

A neurosurgeon, ladies and gentlemen, a neurosurgeon. Donald, you need to notify at least three authorities of your findings: first, the American Medical Association, for obvious reasons, second, Merriam-Webster, who record no such word as “hypofrontality”, and third, the local police, who would appreciate your help in locating the missing UPS deliveryman tied up in your basement.

D Johnston writes: Forgive me for the seriousness of this post, but if we’re going to keep getting this anti-porn screeds, I want one of these idiots to tell me what the word means.

Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart famously wrote in opinion that pornography was “hard to define, but I know it when I see it.”

Incidentally, and relevantly, the remainder of his quote is:

“and the motion picture involved in this case is not that.”

Yes, Potter Stewart was actually vehemently anti-censorship, a fact frequently omitted when his quote is dredged up.

Scott, you scare me. Until now, it’s been light amusement, but Donald Hilton’s piece has me wondering how healthy it is to have an internet connection.

It’s reminiscent in a way: In the seventies, I was a musician living in Hollywood, and had a sort of nervous breakdown which caused me to a) stop playing, b) hate other musicians, c) hate music altogether, d) flee Hollywood, and e) characterize Hollywood as “every third person talking to himself on a streetcorner”.

Of course I returned to Hollywood after a brief self-imposed exile.

Now, of course, with the advent of the internet, it’s not just Hollywood: every third person on the planet is talking to himself on a streetcorner, and broadcasting.

Inasmuch as you are a writer, I can hardly condemn your journeys into the abyss, but I gotta ask: jeezus fucking christ, however the hell did you stumble upon the works of Donald L. Hilton, Jr.?

Yes, Potter Stewart was actually vehemently anti-censorship, a fact frequently omitted when his quote is dredged up.
Nonetheless, Justice Stewart was stating the subjective nature of pornography which the grifter doctor intends to use to help sell his tome.
Which is why the question I want one of these idiots to tell me what the word means. will not be answered, or even attempted, by the doctor-author since such definition might seriously cut into sales of said tome to his intended audience. If the author defined his term, the buyers wouldn’t be able to express their agreement not with his but their definition thereby allowing free rein to their seeing pornography wherever they look. Which then allows them to use his argument when they feel like it. It’s an interesting circle but not one I’d care to examine more closely.
Another depressing look at the misuses of “science”.

Tom writes: Nonetheless, Justice Stewart was stating the subjective nature of pornography which the grifter doctor intends to use to help sell his tome

Right on. If you read the entire opinion, you’ll find that justice Stewart was poking a little fun at the very concept of pornography.

Like most anti-pornography evangelists, I suspect that Donald L. Hilton, jr. has more porn stored on his computer than you do.

It’s for research, I’m sure he’ll tell you, and the cops who eventually arrest him for pedophilia violations.

If the author defined his term, the buyers wouldn’t be able to express their agreement not with his but their definition thereby allowing free rein to their seeing pornography wherever they look. Which then allows them to use his argument when they feel like it.

Very true. I did decide to look up one of his sources (Cline), who was using this definition:

In common parlance, it (pornography) usually means “material that is sexually explicit and intended primarily for the purpose of sexual arousal.”

‘Kay. Actually, that article seems to be focusing on really deviant porn, such as this film:

This 8 mm motion picture film, marketed out of Los Angeles, depicts two Girl Scouts in their green uniforms selling cookies from door to door. At one residence they are invited in by a mature, sexually aggressive adult male, who proceeds to instantly seduce them and subject them to a number of unusual and extremely explicit sexual acts, all shown in greatest detail. The girls are depicted as eagerly enjoying this sexual orgy.

Oh my. It never occurred to me before, but anti-porn researchers must watch a lot of porn. Really nasty porn. They share it, too – a number of the “experiments” in that article involved screening pornography for people and then taking surveys.

Tom writes: It’s an interesting circle but not one I’d care to examine more closely.

Speaking as an Anthropologist, permit me to explain: Tits and Ass are appealing to males. Tits because they give sustenance to offspring, and Ass because it predicts (think “child-bearing hips”) the likelihood of successful birth of said offspring.

That’s what Anthropology suggests is the reason for male fascination with T&A.

I’m not sold. I like Tits and Ass, and I still don’t know why.

“material that is sexually explicit and intended primarily for the purpose of sexual arousal.”

“Females,” in other words [laughing].

See, this is what Justice Stewart meant.

This 8 mm motion picture film, marketed out of Los Angeles, depicts two Girl Scouts in their green uniforms selling cookies from door to door.

Like I said, this man has seen more pornographic films than you or I ever will. Oh well, everybody needs a hobby.

What are you looking at that for, Mister, since you hate it so much? is all I can say.

You know, pornography is nothing new, and neither is the anti-porn movement. I’d like to share a story that I think might help our smut-fighting friends. During the Tang-Song period of dynastic China, pornographic stories and drawings were tremendously popular, and the Buddhists didn’t like it one bit. So, they decided to create their own pornography. Lots of it. One intrepid porn-hating monk is credited with writing over 300 sexually explicit stories.

Thing is, what these monks were doing was actually very smart. They knew that they weren’t going to reach anyone by ranting about the evils of smut or making puritanical tracts. No, they had to reach the porn consumers the same way the porn makers were. The Buddhist pornographic stories were lovingly written and included all the tropes of the time…for the first two-thirds, at least. After that, the stories took a turn for the unpleasant. Characters would start dying, often in quite horrible ways. In the end, the only characters who survived were the men (and only the men – Buddhists of that time viewed female sexuality in much the same way Catholics did) who renounced sex and became monks.

So here’s what I’m thinking – you’ve got all these anti-porn crusaders who’ve been wallowing in smut for decades. By now, they have to know the ins and outs of the industry, they must have some idea as to what makes for good pornography – maybe it’s time they start making their own. Come on, Dr. Hilton, this is a perfect opportunity! You could have your first death-porn out by November!

Not to detract from the intellectual turn this pornography post has taken, but I have to say this:

My brain on juggs looks delicious!

-you’ve got all these anti-porn crusaders who’ve been wallowing in smut for decades. – maybe it’s time they start making their own.

Ooooh, pornographic Chick tracts.

By this incredibly non-specific definition, pretty much everything anyone enjoys is a drug. Jogging, for example, produces not only dopamine but also serotonin and norepinephrin. So does married sex for the purposes of procreation. Watching even non-pornographic movies, playing video games. Even reading the Bible can prompt a dopamine release in some people.

I know the neo-Puritans are trying hard to eliminate anything that might give anyone pleasure, but they almost never say it so clearly.

My meds shrink, fwiw, says I eat the way I do, heavy on sugars, because I’m desperately trying to raise my dopamine levels to lift myself out of depression when my medications aren’t enough. So, hey, stop eating, it’s a drug.

These jackasses were on almost more solid ground with their oxytocin ramblings.

Re Sharktopus, probably also a drug, I’m spending the week on the floor with my recovering and half-shaved cat, doing some physical therapy with her (pain is also a drug!), and sleeping on the floor by her so she can wake me up at least once an hour and demand attention or something. This is, in addition to being less sleep than even I usually get, hell on my arthritis. So I’m solidly stoned on muscle relaxants and painkillers, both of which are, needless to say, drugs. Nagi is surely in more pain than I am, though she also has better drugs, so I’m doing less bitching than I probably otherwise would, that and I’m just grateful she’s alive so I’m willing to put up with anything but I will be so glad when I can have a chair and a table again. (Pain relief is a drug, too!)

Also, the asshole vet had his receptionist call and tell me Tori was ready for pickup, and I could come get her whenever I wanted, and to “have a great day”. It’s quite likely she was working from an illegible memo and guessing at the sex of a cat she thought was named Tori, and that “have a great day” is just reflex, but I wasn’t at my most sympathetic and she got the brunt of it. (Stress, ftr, is also a drug.)

Anyway, all of that is a roundabout way of noting that I half slept through it last night, but I knew I would so I taped it.

Typing is a major pain in the back (my computer’s on the floor) so it’ll be a while.

Why wait, though? Annalee Newitz did it faster and better.

however the hell did you stumble upon the works of Donald L. Hilton, Jr.?

Chris: Our usual go-to wingnuts just weren’t inspiring me this week (perhaps it’s because s.z.’s post on Jen Shroder, and the Scorpion As God’s Annointed Messenger set the bar too damn high), so I had wander further afield. Fortunately, The Fellowship of St. James (“For Christ, Creed & Culture”) and their magazine designed to “[Recover] the one worldview that actually works” came to my rescue.

By this incredibly non-specific definition, pretty much everything anyone enjoys is a drug. Jogging, for example, produces not only dopamine but also serotonin and norepinephrin. So does married sex for the purposes of procreation. Watching even non-pornographic movies, playing video games. Even reading the Bible can prompt a dopamine release in some people.

And a sense of invincible righteousness releases endorphins. Hilton is high on sanctimony.

I’d love to find the article I read, many years ago, about one of Hilton’s spiritual ancestors and their searing exposé of a silent-era porn film. There’s an oh-so-familiar mix of pious disgust and obsessive recounting in graphic detail of every frame. (The author of the article came to write it after discovering that his grandfather, a pioneer film-maker, had actually worked on the reel in question.)

Scott writes: The Fellowship of St. James (“For Christ, Creed & Culture”) and their magazine designed to “[Recover] the one worldview that actually works” came to my rescue.

Whew, that is some mighty plowing for content, and I’m in awe (as usual).

The second comment at I can’t-believe-he’s-not-a-reverend Hilton’s post states:

While it is incorrect to say that every porn addict will become a child molester, at present it’s hard to imagine anyone becoming a child molester WITHOUT porn. Better to keep away from the precipice rather than flirting with the horrors of a fall.

By this reasoning, you’re well on your way to extensive bible beating, Scott.

And D Sidhe, you’re well on your way to actually being a cat [laughing].

And re Sharktopus, two words:

Roger Corman.

Follow the link, Chris. There’s a Roger Corman video of him talking about Sharktopus.

Yeah, saw it, and all I can say is God Bless Roger Corman, unafraid to hang a lampshade on his movies.

Didn’t “Virgin Ben” write a book against “Porn In America” or some such thing? I remember seeing it at a bookstore in SF Airport. HIS picture was on the cover, and I had to laugh to myself. THAT’L attract readers, I thought.

@KWillow: That would be Porn Generation. Sadly, No! did a series on it back in the day.

Viagra is regulated as a drug, so why does the FDA still allow men to get erections without a prescription?

OMG, just THINK how many problems that would solve!!!

I eat the way I do, heavy on sugars, because I’m desperately trying to raise my dopamine levels to lift myself out of depression

Yeah, me too. Sigh.

True story: a friend of mine was smitten with a stewardess from Tahiti and invited her on a salmon fishing trip to Alaska. He packed the wrong tackle, however, and each time he got a bite, the line broke while trying to land the fish. On the third try, before the line could part again, his date jumped into the river, grabbed the salmon with her sweater and threw it onto the bank. “There, that’s how we do it in Tahiti,” she said.

Needless to say, they got married.

This has nothing to do with pornography, but Dr. Hilton’s digression on Alaskan salmon fishing reminded me of it. One of the best dating/fishing stories I ever heard.

This 8 mm motion picture film, marketed out of Los Angeles, depicts two Girl Scouts in their green uniforms selling cookies from door to door. At one residence they are invited in by a mature, sexually aggressive adult male, who proceeds to instantly seduce them and subject them to a number of unusual and extremely explicit sexual acts, all shown in greatest detail. The girls are depicted as eagerly enjoying this sexual orgy.

Did he include a url, or at least a title?

his date jumped into the river, grabbed the salmon with her sweater and threw it onto the bank. “There, that’s how we do it in Tahiti,” she said.

I don’t know why, but that story has inordinately brightened my day. Thanks, Doc.

This stuff sounds like it came out of a 1950s sex-ed textbook. Seriously, does this guy believe all this? And he’s a neurosurgeon?

Oh–he’s from Texas. I can only say this all shows Texas really IS the shallow end of the American gene pool….

I’m sure if they just get porn outlawed, everything will work out.

National Geographic Is A Gateway Drug!

No, training wheels are.

I often joke that mountain biking is a near perfect combination of adrenalin, endorphins, and dopamine. A way better high than any bump I get off of porn.
So am I ‘addicted’? Well, I’m OK with not riding for a week but after two weeks I do get a little itchy and scratchy.

But the reality is no. While [enter favorite compulsion here] brings pleasure, and some percentage of the population will abuse it, most people are able to handle the various pleasure generators we encounter in this World O’ Crap. And if you do have an ‘addictive personality’ you will find something. If not porn, dope. If not dope, food. If not food, religion. If not religion, well there are plenty more chooses.

Basically, these prudes hate any sexuality that does not fit their narrow definition of proper. And since they hate it they will find some excuse to say it is wrong. But, as we all know, saying something is wrong does not automatically make it wrong.

hey Scott, looks like your “this is your brain on Juggs” has caught on

Wow. Somehow, the fried egg tee feels a more exploitative premise than shady girl scout porn.

To quote an old Peanuts punchline: “Whom do I sue?”

Cissy! Junior! Aunt Sadie! Nana and Pop-Pop! All furiously and constantly masturbating to porn!

So it really happened? Thank God. I knew it. People said, “No, you dreamt it,” and after a while I started to believe them.

Thanks, Scott.

“how do these guys define “pornography”

Our IT dept. says it’s not porn unless there’s dicks going in and out of it. I’m not sure what “it” is.

…”scientists have called this condition hypofrontality.”

Shoot. I just looked in the mirror. I think I caught that.

So lesbians can’t have porn? I beg to differ.

Chris, I gotta say about James Cameron, man, what a pretentious asshole. To be ashamed of Piranha 2? My partner suggests it’s because he didn’t have that much time on the project, but this is not the same as “not having much to do with it”, which is how he tells it when he can’t avoid talking about it altogether. I wonder how badly you could insult the guy by reviewing “Avatar” with your eyes shut. Because without the pretty scenery to distract you, you have only the plot and dialogue, which are not that significantly improved from Piranha 2.

Our IT dept. says it’s not porn unless there’s dicks going in and out of it.

sounds like our it department too

Something to say?
