I never said that I agreed with the law, just that the stigmatization of wearing condoms in the industry is problematic. There should be some sort of regulation making it not mandatory to wear condoms, but illegal to discriminate against performers who want to use them. Such laws are always very difficult to draft and…

Also the larger implication that porn guides a lot of sexual preferences and expectations anyway. I think it will be a good thing to have performers wear condoms because it way normalizes condom use and could maybe even make it sexy? Right now we think of them as a huge hassle, a mood ruiner, but it doesn't have to be…

I feel like if they want to assume that risk, they have that right.

We need a series of political ads: Show Iraqi refugees, post-Katrina New Orleans, 9/11 footage.

Damn I miss Sonic.

Did GWTW shape the white South's view of itself or just tell white Southerners what they wanted to hear? Either is a perfectly fine reason to reject the film, but you may give the medium more credit than I do. I'm reminded of communist Russia pouring scant resources into the films of Eisenstein and Vertov in the…

Are you sure that it hasn't maybe played a major role in shaping your own personal view of southerners? And maybe that view is not current or accurate? Thus, your own personal failure at seeing progress (albeit not as fast as we want) and a changing landscape in an area you only want to vilify?

See this is where, I believe, we make a critical mistake. Because it is distasteful to us (rightfully so) we decide that it should be brushed under the rug. In my opinion, we SHOULD be making a huge deal of the 75th anniversary. We should be releasing DVDs of this movie with commentary by professors of history and by…

I'm gay, and if I want to hold movies to a similar standard I've got two problems: Movies made before say 1970 elide the very idea that I exist, which is problematic, and movies made from 1970 to 2005 cast me mainly as murderers and/or gross and/or a laughingstock. Even now things aren't great, but that's another…

Forget commandment, let's form a whole fucking religion around this principle.

Ha, I was thinking the same thing, the royals need to bring dark eyebrows and hair back into the line.

Cute! We'll see how he turns out, but hopefully he got more of his mother's looks.

I wouldn't wild guess she's a virgin, but it's possible that she's saving herself for marriage.

Well , for those of us with jobs, families, etc., we need the option to save and stop when we need to go do other stuff.

Roomba is totally changing our lives. The floor is ALWAYS clean and the dust levels are way down. We won't make up the monitary value I guess, but there's the quality of life benefits. Does that count?

My electric car lease was being paid for with gasoline savings. I was paying between $250 and $300 per month in gas, and now I have a $200 lease and around $15 per month in additional electricity charges. Plus, my maintenance costs get zeroed out since the lease is under warranty, which my old car was definitely not.

If your cable provider allows, buying your own modem can save you a lot (eventually).
