Porn goes mainstream

Burt Reynolds got an Oscar nomination in 1998 for playing an idealistic pornography producer in "Boogie Nights," which portrayed in a very unflattering way the so-called golden age of the San Fernando Valley-based porn industry in the 1970s.

Mr. Reynolds had researched the part by visiting the sets of some porno films, and he emphatically told me at the time that the porn actors all wanted to cross over into mainstream Hollywood but that there "wasn't a chance" it would happen. They had decided to take the low road and could never come back.

I still say we should make bumper stickers that say "Fight Islamofascism - Buy Porn"

I like porn.

There, I said it.

I can't think of any male I know who hasn't ever looked at it. And, incidentally, a good number of women I know too. See here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1012607/posts

The real problem isn't pornography itself, but rather, like most other problems, that it's moved from the private to the public sphere.

But what the heck do I know, I'm a fornicator too. Stone me.

We just had a gubernatorial candidate who was a porn star plus we had a porn mag publisher run here for Governor in California. Mariah Carey and Larry Flynt have definitely gone "mainstream" big time.

You're a Mike Curb Republican.

What's wrong with pornography on prime time? What's wrong with snuff films on prime time? What's wrong with fight-to-the-death gladiatorial games and rape-a-woman-by-a-bull spectaculars or prime time? What's wrong with...???

As "Liberals" and Democrats sink deeper and deeper into the gutter, they do their best to drag the rest of us down with them.

Porn Collector, The Clinton Legacy Series.

 

Clinton and Lewinski credited for bringing  bjs into the media genre.

 

November 3, 2003 -- To get your face featured on a U.S. stamp, it helps to be a dead president. In Mordovia, you only need to have had sex with a living president.

I agree with you, Clam. Pornography in private is one thing. When it becomes a public matter it is something quite different and has a quite different effect.

Well, a stoning would be a little severe, but someone should hit you in the head with a rock. (Just a little funnin here).

[TheAngryClam]

Only in California.

I saw that guy on Fox News not too long ago. Judging by how their anchors look...

Private business should stay private. No one can deny that for a long time, porn had relatively little effect on culture, except now with Clinton and all the rest, it's so... blase blah you know?

I don't care if other people look at porn. I care if I look at porn. If everyone cared about what they themselves did and focus on themselves, then I think the world will be much better.

[Savage Beast]

You're right.

Read my FReepmail in regard to this issue and fire in CA!

Works for me. The society needs dewussification.
If we're going to have capital punishment, it also
should be a public event. Anything the state does
in our name that is too coarse for our sensibilities
is something we maybe shouldn't be doing. Else,
we should see what we are commanding be done.
