If hef had his choice everyone in life would be 22 yrs old, 5' 8", 115lbs, 35-23-35 and blonde with fake boobs. 7 girlfriends (at one point), completely interchangeable. I would want variety. There are so many delicious flavors, why always vanilla?

Oh come on. What did you think the day-to-day of a photo shoot (or film set) is like? Grow up.

These photos of the "reality" of a Playboy shoot don't depress me. What depresses me is the thought that someone could look at a Playboy magazine and think that the images are "real." I, for one, do not lounge about on bales of hay without my bikini bottom on.

Poor Mark. It's like his inner teenager just found out a Playboy shoot does not equal bubbly laughter and non-stop boners. It's a business.

" but also the reality that the shooting environment isn't made up of young women just laying around rubbing suntan lotion all over each other (I can't believe Anna Faris lied to me) but mostly of dudes standing around, measuring light levels and just looking awkward."

I cannot wait. B/c I'm pretty sure this cast was featured on a lot of magazine covers as being the voice/story of a generation too. Bleah. Always some nauseating movie or TV show full of vile people that get lauded for being narcissistic and immature.

Seriously. The worst are the ones that can cause physical harm if they go wrong, and that includes scare pranks - you never know if the person you're playing a prank on has a heart problem or hell, they can just trip and fall while backing off. Humans are just weak sacks of meat and it's ridiculously easy to break us.…

Oh, I know. Better than most, unfortunately. It's not something you forget.

Yeah, I tend to consider people who play pranks on those who don't appreciate them to be assholes. Being entertained by someone else's pain/surprise/terror - how fucked up is that?

Was I the only one that thought the answer to the first question was a bit condescending? I don't know anything about Reiki, & maybe it's complete hooey, but it sounds like the one asking for help has found a personal benefit from their mentor. I don't disagree with the point - (she can hang out with whomever, but you…

I fucking hate pranks. I'd be pissed too, but the LW shouldn't have said something in front of the friends. It does just put the girl on the spot and make her want to be defensive. The pranker also sounds like a twat.

Based on those photos, I feel like the headline should read "Free People Ditching Models and Replacing them With Other Very Attractive Thin White People".

I'm sure they will catch Monty Emu. He's not much of a flight risk.

And already this thread (and similar threads for this piece) have proven what you said about anti-sex work feminists throwing out generalizations and fighting straw men to be true, several times.

I'm talking about arguments like "every woman who does porn was abused as a child" and other similar easily-debunked shit arguments that come up VERY often.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

I don't think it's well enough understood just how terrible the vast majority of the service economy is on human dignity.

I was a sex worker for three years. I have never been treated better by customers. But different types of sex work have very different experiences. Stripping and waiting tables are essentially the same, stress wise. And you get treated like shit by just about everybody. I've never done porn, but if she says her…
