Heh Cicciolina was the coolest politician ever. Where else do you see topless politicians except in Italy?

Don't get me wrong....

I don't mean "slut" in some kind of messed up derogatory sense.

God forbid, no.

And god bless her.

I went to order a milk shake from a 'roach coach' today. I asked him to make it extra thick. He told me he only made 'em one way, just like the sign on the side said, "Thick Milk Shakes". I offered him more money than his advertised price, he said no. He then told me that he had sold many many milkshakes over the years out of that same truck, if he was doing something wrong, he wouldn't have had so much business.

The problem was, I had ordered a milkshake from him before. His definition of thick was far from mine. I told him that 'thick' was a subjective term, and he told me he refused to get into a discusion about how 'thick' his milkshakes really were....

...while he was making me my slightly thick milkshake....

That watermelon still tasted good though.

Oh, there was a point.


It's all subjective. You cannot define pornography as a different class than art. One mans thick shake is another mans soft serve.

porn is a (cheapest) form of art, it gets down to the basic thread of humanity (humping) without all the abstract crap.

"pornography ... 1.  writings, pictures, etc., intended primarily to arouse sexual desire."  Webster's New World dictionary.

Art arouses the spirit, porn arouses the crotch.  

Hence, some art can be porn, some porn can be art.
