The NY Times front-pages some real breakthrough information - porn movies once had plots but due to the popularity of web-based content, the emphasis has shifted to sex. Who knew?
Political pundits will ponder this:
In lieu of plot, there are themes. Among the new releases from New
Sensations, a studio that makes 24 movies a month, is “Girls ’n
Glasses,” made up of scenes of women having sex while wearing glasses.
Hmm - I blame Tina Fey.
Apparently there's lots of bucks to be made in this industry, mostly situated in The Valley. My DIL told me tales of the big $$ shoveled into Valley private schools by the owners of these outfits. I can't imagine what they bid on at the school auctions.

It's too bad that TM didn't post on porn while he was also posting on Plamegate. Then we could have snarkily posted about a porn movie set at a swingers' club involving Valerie Plame, Joe Wilson, Judith Miller, Fitzmas, Andrea Mitchell and Richard Armitrage, all of whom would be cavorting around while playing paddycake with yellowcake!

I refuse to click the link but I bet any money they created a whole article of empty filler around the quote TM posted. The intent of this article was not to inform about the general state of pornograpy but to plant the specific seed that there's an association between "Girls in Glasses" and pornography

Uh-oh.
I thought the standard technique was to use words like 'pøŕn' to not positively match your site against certain searches. If we thought the spam was bad the past few days, just wait...

I'm certain front paging a porn story had nothing to do with trying to gin up circulation.
Look for alien abductions and mutant celebrity love children soon.
Won't be any more true than most of what they presently write, but it should be considerably more entertaining.

So how is that different from other, non-pr0n movies?
Movies used to have plots and dialogue.
Now, they have special effects and one-liners.

Tommy has already worn out 3 copies of the "Nailin' Palin" DVD, and is seeking treatment for carpal tunnel.
He's been begging for the sequel, "Bristol Cream."

Sex jokes about 14 year olds are always funny, Levi.

Oh wait. Bristol is 18. Still not funny.
Posted by: MayBee | July 08, 2009 at 02:49 PM
It's kind of funny. No worse than the Nailin Palin one, especially when you consider most of the girls in these videos are around the same age as Bristol.
still very odd that the NYTimes would stoop to write an article like this just to generate interest. Sad really.

Didn't the guy in the original "Smart Alec" pr0n movie wear both black socks (ala Spitzer) and glasses? He looked like Clark Kent but who pays attention to the guy anyway.

Daughter and I the other day stopped at Bosco's comix shop for some filler for TC's daughter's Deadhorse Care package.
Talk about Pornography. Check ">http://www.tfaw.com/Search?quick_sstring=Bluewater+female+force&_results_sstype_search=&gclid=CKW84d_sxpsCFRYiagodOlSxBQ"> this out.. Work safe, but noxious.
Posted by: daddy | July 08, 2009 at 03:37 PM
Thanks for taking time to send stuff to my youngest, daddy. I have alerted her that a package is coming.
This seems to be turning into an "off topic is OK" thread, so I would like to point out for Harry Potter fans that a new Harry Potter movie is apparently happening soon. I don't know a thing about Harry Potter, but my child in Alaska says that she is going to Fairbanks for the movie opening in a week or so. Now, if those attuned to matters Harry Potter have information that there is no new Harry Potter movie, please let me know and I will attempt to find out what she is really doing in Fairbanks!
Posted by: Thomas Collins | July 08, 2009 at 04:06 PM
Tell me he didn't say anything that stupid to the man who fancies himself Alexander 111, not one of the good czars. Although he is more like Pobudenetsev, the power behind
the throne, a reactionary's reactionary, a scourge of Tolstoy, who he caricatured in Anna Karenina, an friend of Dostovevsky. Isn't this an invitation for the fellow to go after it.
Posted by: narciso | July 08, 2009 at 04:33 PM
There is indeed a new Harry Potter movie opening, TC. The London Premier was last night.
I'm not saying that's what she's really going to be doing in Fairbanks.
Posted by: MayBee | July 08, 2009 at 05:11 PM
TC,
I'll be in China in 2 days, where for about 8 yuan (a dollar) you can buy any new movie release 2 months before it's out in theaters. We're allowed 1 bootleg item back thru US Customs per trip so I'll see if I can dig it up. Frequently not of the highest quality however.
Maybee above is correct. There was a gala opening last night, including Hermione having a wardrobe malfunction. I shan't link to that however, as I actually believe it was (for once) not intentional.
Posted by: daddy | July 08, 2009 at 05:37 PM
TC,
Since this post is sort of about "Blue photo's of Babe's", when Nicole gets to Fairbanks, she might want to do a quick stop at the University to see Alaska's most famous fossil: BLUE BABE
"Blue Babe
Alaska’s best-preserved Ice Age fossil isn’t a mammoth but a long-horned bison, Bison pricus. It was discovered near Fairbanks in 1979. A gold-miner was blasting through soil with a powerful hose when he saw legs with hooves, hide, and flesh! A mineral called vivianite gave the skin a bluish appearance, and the animal came to be known as Blue Babe.
The Ice Age mummy was examined by a paleontologist. He estimated that it lived about 35,000 years ago. It was an old male that died in winter, as suggested by its winter underfur. Winter is a hard time when many animals die of starvation. Part of the bison had been eaten.
The paleontologist was surprised to discover plentiful fat under the animal’s skin. Blue Babe hadn’t starved!
He studied scratch marks on the bison. They were similar to wounds African lions leave when killing buffalo. Had Blue Babe been killed by a pair of lions during an Ice Age winter?
A chip from a tooth was found under the skin. It was from a lion! The animal had probably tried to eat some more after Blue Babe froze and broke its tooth.
Cave paintings from Europe indicate that Ice Age lions had short manes or no mane at all and hunted alone or in pairs. Even today, lions that live in harsh habitats, like deserts, are short-maned and may hunt alone.
Blue Babe was likely killed by two short-maned lions, who fed on it for several days. Other animals may have fed on the carcass through the winter. In spring, a river buried it under sediments and it was preserved for 350 centuries."
Can't seem to dig up a photo of it, but saw it about 20 years ago and it really was cool. If she does decide to stop by, please ask if she wouldn't mind trying to take a photo for posting if they allow it. The Museum was also very good on Aurora Borealis exhibits, and one of their top sci prof's is anti-Global Warming, so it may not all be propaganda.

Posted by: daddy | July 08, 2009 at 06:31 PM
Ugh! I'm old enough to associate peace signs with a chaotic and harmful period in our late 20th century history. They remind me of lawlessness, lost children and death by drugs and Weathermen's bombs.

It's amazing the number of young women doing porn (guys like to show off, if they can), but there are probably a lot more prostitutes/strippers than we realize. You'd think the internet and huge supply, including amateurs, would take most of the money out of it. The un-tattooed ought to command higher fees.

I don't mind the peace signs in general, it's just when her daddy is CinC at an international summit, and we still have soldiers dying in war, it seems like a statement better left out of the view of the cameras.
Posted by: MayBee | July 08, 2009 at 07:08 PM
Do NOT google "New Sensations Studios" at work or in front of your kids.
One of my son's friends found a porn film that had been filmed in their home (previous owners).
Posted by: MayBee | July 08, 2009 at 07:12 PM
Concur MayBee,
I don't blame the kids one bit. They're probably nice young ladies and products of their environment. If they were a bit older I would see it as youths natural defiant rambunctiousness, ala any of Ford's or Bushes kids etc. But at Malia's age, that shirts a Momma thing. No surprise though, due to the peculiar spectacles she views this country through, as evidenced in her previously stated opinions. Che' wise, I was just making fun.

Thanks for the Harry Potter info, MayBee. I suspect if Nicole says she is going to Fairbanks for Harry Potter, she probably is. She was a HP fanatic in middle school and high school.
I am going to ask Nicole to take a picture of Blue Babe in Fairbanks, daddy. Hopefully she will be in Fairbanks long enough to visit the fossil.
