Raiser, your cute little coded message only confirms you have the class of an ***, and the IQ of a fence post.

My take on the CNBC story

A lawyer puts lipstick on a pig and convinces congress, judges, juries, and some racers that it is a good thing for the American people to see (maybe not a good thing, but it certainly isn?t harmful). This is what makes a great lawyer, and he is rewarded handsomely to do it. The owners want the pig with lipstick partially exposed to all of legal age, as some of the people who see it will pay a lot of money to see more of it. It is a very profitable business.

Some people (right-wingers and Christians according to the AFF) think the pig with lipstick stinks and want to limit everybody?s exposure to it. These misguided, simple minded people think the stench might actually be harmful to the American people. They get lawyers of their own to convince congress and judges that it is harmful. Again, the lawyers on both sides are paid handsomely to argue the point.

Everyone here is making a lot of money?uh?wait a minute?uh?I guess the simple minded people are not. They must really be stupid. What do you think their motivation is?

Different subject (sort of) - I have seen a decal on several race cars, a silhouette of a shapely female dancing on a pole and the tag line ?I support single moms?. It?s funny?.uh?wait a minute?uh?I just thought about this from the perspective of the single mom?s child. Do you think the child has much of a chance in life?

"Lipstick on a pig" is an excellent metaphor for this thing labeled by the shuck and jive crowd as "adult entertainment". Additionally, it would not be inaccurate to associate it with the old vaudeville acts of long ago. This is more comedy than anything else.

If you wade through their catalogs of film product, you'll laugh your bums off. I mean....this stuff is really, really funny! There is nothing sexual or sensuous...or even adult about it. It's as if a 5th grade class of pimple-faced boys just found out about sex and are leafing through a copy of National Geographic.

The titles and the narratives are so over the top. Everything is hyped to the max. There is no way, literally, a rational, reasoned adult is anywhere near the production of this crap. But the real fear of the rocket scientists in this "industry" is the internet: Real people...doing their lovemaking for free....will put them out of business.

As for some lawyer whining about 2257 compliance, well, he's got to do something to keep his clients all lathered up about nonexistent bogeymen. You have to generate bill-able hours or you'll lose your partnership status.
