It's All About The Porn

[carsonshepherd]

I just formulated this theory (which, for me, means an idea popped into my head) that technological advances have made porn all the more accessible.

The VCR brought video porn into our living rooms, where we could masturbate without fear of arrest! (Poor PeeWee Herman)

The internet is a festival of every kind of porn you can imagine. Minors no longer have to sneak looks at stashes of magazine porn. Any fetish out there, you can find it on the internet, and not only pictures but support groups and people to indulge in it with. No need to cruise for sex anymore - just sit down at your computer!

Digital cameras and webcams have made everyone a porn star! We can take dirty pics or webcasts of ourselves and post them on the internet for the whole world to see.

I theorize that these technological advances were motivated by porn. For the people, by the people. We love our porn. The internet is a great learning and exploration tool, but what do most people use it for? To look at porn, of course!

Thank you, scientists and researchers, for bringing us our porn.

I think I hear the strains of an angelic chorus.

Distantly.

Wayyyy off in the distance.

But they sound pretty damn happy.

You're dead right about that. I think it's pretty well admitted that it was porn that fueled the VCR boom, and lately people are starting to examine the role that porn had in establishing the internet, which was simply huge. I mean, why did you get on the web? Was it for the sports coverage and ground-beef recipes?

So you really should be thanking the pornsters for bringing us the technology, not vise versa.

You mean the other way around, right?

I theorize that these technological advances were motivated by porn.

See? I know you did.

No news here. Porn sells. Porn was a pioneer in developing cheap full color printing for magazines. The first commersially successful mass distibution of cinema is said to have ben porn. The first commersially successful mass distibution of VCR sure as hell was. The first commersially successful pay sites were porn. The first commersially successful streaming video over the net was porn. I'll bet the next big media outlet (VR perhaps?) will be lead by the porn industry.

Hooray for porn.

I don't find prayer groups... they seem to find me.

[LadyJeanne]

Ha! You are so right about that!

I used to work for a consulting firm in the tech industry, so we often had discussions about what cool, new things we could do for our media & entertainment clients. We had a speaker one day who talked tech about video on demand as a subscription service and the lack of interest among consumers for all the movie channels, except for the Fantasy Channel. (This was before my Lit days, so when he said Fantasy, I was thinking sci fi, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings...). The data he showed confirms your theory and that porn rules the internet!

When man invented fire, he didn't say, "Hey, let's cook." He said, "Great, now we can see naked bottoms in the dark." As soon as Caxton invented the printing press, we were using it to make pictures of, hey, naked bottoms! We have turned the Internet into an enormous international database of naked bottoms. So you see, the story of male achievement through the ages, feeble though it may have been, has been the story of our struggle to get a better look at your bottoms. Frankly girls, I really don't know how offended you should be!

I've got a seat on the train and a ticket for a meal in the dining car on the bullet-train to hell.

Someone remember to bring the chips.

I wouldn't want to waste the ticket . . .

 

[herecomestherain]

Hooray for porn then! It's even driving great advances in mobile telephone technology too. Porn everywhere, available 24hours a day. It's got to make for a happier world right?

TheEarl we're watching repeats of Coupling here -- it's as funny the second time around if not funnier for some reason.

I'm praying that you keep that AV. Does that count? If necessary, I do not doubt that I could find a group to all pray so.

That's not what you said in Tierra del Feugo - although what you did say was a little indistinct thanks to certain extenuating circumstances. Those poor stevedores.

Of course it's all about the porn. One of the reasons that "legions of so-called decency" sprang up when the movies did was that once one could take motion pictures of naked women...well, they did. And people watched them. And one hundred years later, we aren't really all that badly off from it.

Well, I'm not, but take a look at Shanglan sometime.
