Porn In The Mainstream

How could they not have printed a picture of her in this article?!

This LA Daily News piece is one of a number of great articles recently in the mainstream press about porn.

There are a couple of elements to this article that I, naturally, don't really entirely agree with. For a start, this business about standing round the watercooler talking about a great porn film you saw last night.

Who seriously has ever done that? I can't really imagine ever going up to anyone I know at work and saying to them, "Oh yeah, I saw a great video last night. It was called Cum Swapping Cheerleaders. It was rad!"

Complete nonsense. But the rest of it is an interesting eye-opener about how porn creeps ever more into the mainstream. One area they don't talk about in the article is the way it has even crept into professional wrestling companies like the WWE, which now employs a raft of ex-Playboy models.

Interesting to hear as well that Dustin Diamond is now hanging out with Tera Patrick and Nautica Thorn despite being the less-handsome of the Saved By The Bell guys whereas the other two are nowhere to be seen.
