Tom Lehrer, in his classic song "Smut," opens with an explanation as to his pet cause -- pornography.
I do have a cause though. It is obscenity. I'm for it. Unfortunately the civil liberties types who are fighting this issue have to fight it owing to the nature of the laws as a matter of freedom of speech and stifling of free expression and so on but we know what's really involved: dirty books are fun. That's all there is to it. But you can't get up in a court and say that I suppose. It's simply a matter of freedom of pleasure, a right which is not guaranteed by the Constitution unfortunately.
That's always rung true to me. I find very little objectionable, as long as it is restricted to consenting adults. (This is not to say there isn't a LOT out there I find distasteful or down right repugnant, but I won't object to others enjoying it.)
But every now and then I find something that I simply cannot turn a blind eye to. Something to disgusting, so appalling, so virulently objectifying of human beings, that I have to raise my voice in protest.
And this is one of them.
This needs to be stopped, and stopped NOW.

I am at work and thinking hard. Do I trust JT or not. Should I click on that little blue word.
Do I dare face the wrath of IT and Admin. Nah. I think I will just stick with wishing there was a NSFW warning.

Oh, and yes, when the linked page loads, the word "porn" is in it, so if your IT people scan sites by wording, you're better off not linking to it from work, IMHO.

Don't forget to look for these folks too:
Hmmm...I can't speak for the other places you mentioned....but living in Denver when we had our blizzard last December..the MSM ignored the hundreds of lives lost...they ignored how 40% of Denver left town and have yet to return...

"...we will be drinkin good wine...smokin' great dope..."
That explains a lot of your comments...perhaps all of them. ;-)
After clicking on the link and getting a good laugh, I started thinking about what I do every day, being a stay-at-home Dad. Now that I'm finished with this comment, I'm going to be searching for tiny little video cameras in the house today.

Of course hetero males do all of these things we just wouldn't use those vapid excuses as to why we did it. Its nobody's damn business why.

Men doing housework is sexy. Then again, men working up a sweat doing manly labor things is also sexy. I'll take either one, as long as the man isn't shiftless. Shirtless, yes, but not shiftless.

That's how the game is played, Paul.
And notice how many women reacted so positively to it? Now they'll associate me with those thrills.
I really shouldn't be giving away these trade secrets publicly, though...
