    • Once More With Amy, Joey and Mary Jo

      Posted by Billbar from New York Times

      I miss the Buttafuoco era. Joey and Amy were the Sid Caesar and Howdy Doody of reality TV, relics of a simpler time when crime sold newspapers — imagine that — and when the culture tended to look down on adultery and teenage prostitutes, and when attempted murder carried a hint of shame, which presumably was why Amy, in her perp walk, went to the trouble of hiding her face with her long brown hair.

    America’s Porn Culture -- Corporate drive for profits is damaging girls

     Our whole culture has become sexualized, and the demand is equally on men as well as women.  While this may not be healthy, I don’t think it’s particularly new- think back to the 70s, "free love"- the argument that the sexualization of our culture is a result of the porn industry strikes me as poorly rationalized and uninformed.

    America’s Porn Culture -- Corporate drive for profits is damaging girls

    Stomping out that so-called "slut culture", in my mind, begins with a thorough investigation of just why so many young women idolize ‘Sex and the City’ or ‘The Hills’. Where does the celebration of vapid sneaziness end and the positive message of female empowerment over sexuality begin? Isn’t the latter just becoming a dangerously attractive way to allow the media to excuse a rapid slide into the former?

    I may just be a Guy Who Doesn’t Get It, though.
