It's time everyone just lightened up. It seems like every few years there’s something out there that’s going to debase society and corrupt our youth. Before porn, it was heavy metal music and before that it was D&D. Sure porn is talked about a lot more but that isn’t really all that meaningful a metric. Hell, 10 years ago I probably couldn’t have got my humor book (“Pornification” - www.pornifythis.com) published at all but when it comes right down to it, the book is really just puns. There are no naked pictures, no erotic stories, just some language that you don’t want your child to hear (but that he probably learned at camp years ago anyway). But I'm sure these alarmist authors would hold up "Pornification" as Exihibit A. So now we can – and do – make porn references in mainstream culture. Big deal. It’s just talk. Western civilization is in no danger. Andrew Benjamin www.pornifythis.com
