While it sucks for people who use Youtube and whatnot in lieu of putting on a CD, you gotta admit that he seriously knows what he's doing when it comes to nixing the piracy of his work. #porn

Like porn?
"the industry is moving toward making porn a full sensory experience"
Like actual sex? #porn

(But actually, you know, we're just Prudey McPrudersons for not liking porn, even though we happen to love sex and would just rather be doing it ourselves rather than watching random strangers pretend to be turned on!) #porn

But the guy I dated after him, who was in his mid-30's, was not like that AT ALL. It was more about connection for him.
This is just anecdotal evidence, but when I was with my ex, I knew that porn had a major influence on how he viewed me and our sex life. I was mainly just an object to fuck. He was clearly not a keeper. #porn

Suddenly, my Gawker Media addiction (excluding Fleshbot) doesn't feel so bad. #porn

I'm glad you said something about this, Latoya. I've noticed that autotune has been way overused in recently made professionally produced fuckfests. And I really think that it detracts from the quality of the product, and the spirit of pornography. #porn

Neither seem like they'd come close to oral sex for me, but you've got to give 'em props for creativity. #porn

When my friend hit her mid 60s, instead of getting a facelift or becoming invisible, she went back to school to get her Masters degree in gerontology. She spent the last 25 years of her life as a social worker and activist for the rights of elders.
The one theme I saw in most of the clips above, as well as in many of the comments was that people did not want to look old because being old equals being irrelevant.
In honor of my friend, I would like to call ‘bullshit’ on that idea.
Don’t want to become irrelevant as you age? Stop trying to pretend that ageing doesn’t happen…
Maybe if our culture didn’t have such a deep seeded phobia about ageing, we could rationally discuss a health care reform bill that includes a provision that offers senior citizens access to counseling on how to plan for their care as they age without people crawling out of the woodwork saying that Obama wants to euthanize the elderly.

As far as beauty and growing older is concerned, I think Roald Dahl said it best in The Twits:
"the funny thing is that Mrs. Twit wasn’t born ugly. She’d had quite a nice face when she was young. The ugliness had grown upon her year by year as she got older.
Why would that happen? I’ll tell you why.
If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until it gets so ugly you can hardly bear to look at it.
A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely."

I know I'm looking forward to getting older and not so scared of the wrinkles...my mom and aunts are proof that melanin is one hell of a preservative. The grey hair? A little bit, but only because it's refusing to in the punk rock temple stripes that my mom's did.
Documentaries like this one fascinate and irritate me. I mean,hasn't anyone noticed that women get more awesome with age? I think the self-confidence that comes with age/experience is worth some saggy tits and stretch marks.
