Peg, I didn't mean it was very unusual, I'm not sure what I meant but it's kind of funny don't you think? Even funnier to suppose maybe it's a Paris Hilton double--think how much more fuss over nothing that could engender!I just got tickled. I think I have more or less the same feeling about it, if it was handy I'd watch it, I'm sure some friend of mine has it, but I don't get out much.
   I disagree though--sometimes in amateur porn people can't help laughing, or they employ odd theatrical devices, stagey monologues, or narration, and I don't think pro porn is as prone to bits of charming goofiness. As soon as anyone starts making half-way entertaining porn it will be shocking that nobody did it before. I was planning to produce an "Adult" adult education video series--learn to read with porn. But I never heard back from the muppets or anybody, and the project has stalled.

Igbo, you are a refreshingly original thinker. I meant to tell you how much I appreciated your contributions to the "Musician's Block" thread. I had to read your posts more than once to get the full effect, but the extra effort was worth it.

It's all a publicity stunt to get people to watch that stupid show, "The Simple Life".

All in all, big deal.

I read somewhere that 'The Simple Life' is a takeoff on last generation's 'Green Acres', the TV show about the simple farmer, Eddie Albert, and socialite Eva Gabor, who wanted to be with her husband but yearned for the city.

Ebbie, the premises are similar, but Eddie Albert wasn't a "simple farmer", he was a big-city business guy who decided to chuck it all and go 'back to the land', to his wife's ongoing distress--making him an early prototype for the current (post-hippie) generation of what I call "the open-chequebook theory of homesteading."

Cluin, that's pretty much what I think too. The video coming out netwide right before wanna-be superstar's TV show goes on air--this is slick twenty-first century trash-PR. Probably trying to irritate her family too...

Thanks Guest, couldn't you at least mis-spell "guest" or something so I could follow your posts as well? It's fun to develop an ongoing impression.

I doubt the Simple Life could possibly live up to Green Acres, which was really very sharp. I have a theory that a patent attorney must've been involved in it's conception, because of it's take on the Kafka-esque conflict of reasonable ideas in a rutted, conventional culture. The county agent was the personification of patent-law prolixity and Mr Hainey was the invention-world's perpetual scam artist. It would be fun if there was a show in China about a guy who invented a spoon.

Paris Hilton could be very pretty if one were disposed to like her, but is stringy and freakish if not. I realized the other day that a strikingly beautiful friend's looks had a lot to do with her Al Sharpton personality--she's a nut, but is so believable in the way she constantly flatters you that even if she looked like Quasimodo you'd still feel there's just something about her. She's so perceptive!

"long blond hair and boney...looks like she is suffering from extreme malnutrition. This is supposed to be beautiful? " Well said Art -

She didn't release the video - the boyfriend did. I have not seen it either and would have to tear my eyes away from Janet to do so - and Janet, for those who do not know, is my lovely bride and much more worthy of my time than an internet video.

I had other things to say but suddenly lost interest.

I just checked this one. In the "Older Woman" thread I described what I find stimulating. This woman in her physical appearance, lack of intellect, shallowness, and on and on, is exactly the opposite of that. I would date Tyne Daly any day over her. And enjoy it more.

She looks like she would be great fun at a party.... Wouldn't mind her showing up empty-handed and uninvited at all.

Up untill a few weeks ago I was bombarded with e-mails offering me "unbelievable rates at Hilton hotels" which all turned out to be offering the opportunity to watch Paris Hilton having sex. Spam can be mildly annoying but I couldn't muster up enough concern for her to hate her or enough interest to want to pay to watch her.

More on (moron?) stupid girls' names. (Stupid names of girls.)

Of men's names which have been adopted, Courtney (my father-in-law's name) has been used recently for girls.

Then of course we have the whole thing of Celtic family names as feminine first names, like Kelly, etc.

I Hate "cutesy".

Nah, now I'm not getting spam I don't want to go anywhere, ever.

It's nagging at me to think of some celebrity I do kind of hate--I dislike feeling that I might be above it, somehow. I don't like being above anything. I was a vegetarian for 20 years but started to eat meat every now and then just to tell myself to shut up about it.

   So I've started to hate Tina Fey, headwriter for Saturday Night Live, who I liked until recently. In a profile about her in the New Yorker she said she was one of the mean kids in high school, and it's puzzled me why anyone would want to own up to that. Then after watching the show the other night, which was new but still felt like a re-run, after the "Appalachian E.R." bit, it came to me. She was really that nerdy moronic wannabe type who tagged along after the mean kids and is now claiming she was one of them. The mean kids never tried much to be funny, their confidence and non-chalance was enough, and they don't grow into comedy writers. Now I can't stand her, and the show seems sour and pathetic.
