Has the Internet killed porn?
Posted: Fri Jul 03, 2009 5:21 pm
A legitimate question raised by Corbymate, which I think deserves discussion.
A group for contestants and lovers of the Channel 4 game show 'Countdown'.

Yeah, that's the point. There's too much of it, and it's too easy to obtain. The things that would have excited me 10 years ago and I would have happily waited 30 minutes to download on dial-up, I just go "meh" and try and find something different. I'm running out of options that won't send me to prison tbh...Michael Wallace wrote:How are we defining porn here? I thought 70% of made up statistics about the Internet say that 90% of the Internet is porn. Or something.
If you haven't managed to break your mind looking for 'different' porn, then you're not doing it right.Jon Corby wrote:try and find something different.

Do we think it's also responsible for the demise of horrifying 1970's style monterous hairy growlers??Matt Morrison wrote:I think Corby's getting too much credit for being some kind of Pornmeister, considering that that Carol Vorderman clip was from one of those shitty YouTube style porn sites.
No one worth his pornographic salt should be relying on that kind of source. One word: Usenet.
Thinking back to grainy VHS tapes with shit camera angles and 'plots', there's no question for me. The Internet has saved porn.
If only the camera had remained on Innis.Matthew Green wrote:Yes. Most definately. I was wanking over Venus Williams vs Safina the other day when I flicked over briefly to watch that mind-numbingly predictable, would-be octochamp Innis Carson. Stupidly, I forgot to stop wanking and proceeded to climax while Innis solved the 2nd numbers. To make matters worse, the exact moment of climax coincided with a close up of his almost-certainly-autistic and rather unattractive female oponent.
Now whenever I play apterous I see those remarkably Innis-like silhouettes and it instantly triggers a neuro-associative response to the aforementioned incident which causes me to explode in my pants and, rather ironically, miss easy words like SOUTANE and HOPLITES.
So I think we can safely deduce from this that yes, the internet has killed porn.
Very funny, Phil! I didn't think I liked Muppet/Sesame Street type things, but maybe adult versions are enjoyable . . .Phil Reynolds wrote:Trekkie Monster's views on this subject are definitive, I'm afraid.

The show is still running in the West End and tickets for weekday performances are available for as little as £10. Go see it - I guarantee you won't regret it.Derek Hazell wrote:Very funny, Phil!

I don't have any way of replying to "formal complaints" directly and I couldn't really see what you were getting at, so I closed it.John Bosley wrote:Particularly annoyed/shocked by the autistic reference and made what I thought was a formal complaint, but no idea if it was received or acted on.Matthew Green wrote:Yes.

Still getting my moneys worth out of that pic though.

Maybe. But I'd never heard it until you just said it.John Bosley wrote:It looks as if 'orty' is the new 'spas'.
The phrase "get a room" means "have this discussion somewhere else", not "shut up you mangy whore" as you seem to have understood it, and was addressed to both you and Matt, since it was getting a bit tedious. Sorry for saying it in a roundabout kind of way, I do that rather a lot. Anyway you can continue to flirt in here if you like, but it was getting kind of boring for me.Sue Sanders wrote:Well, I'm taking it that I'm being told to tone it down - and wondered whether you would move to do so if I was a bloke?
HOWEVER - I'm not one of those women who assumes all men to be chauvinists so.....if I made that assumption wrongly, forgive me. It could just be that I'm new and I should be easing in more gently (ooh err) or it could be that your suggestion was just teasing (in which case - I'm a big fan of emoticons as I don't really do 'perceptive')
Yes, a straight answer rather than a sarcastic one might be useful at this point. Matt Green said someone was probably autistic, and they probably were. He didn't draw any negative conclusion from that. What's the big deal? Are you the kind of person who gets upset when Ainslee Harriet is described as black? We have plenty of autistic users. Oh, you didn't notice because they blend in just fine? I guess that undermines your point a bit. I've been "accused" of being one myself often enough, and even if it were true (no idea) it's not something that I would be offended by, any more than Phil Reynolds accusing me of being a bit short (mea culpa). I've socialised with many autistics in my lifetime and you won't find many communities more accommodating, or just plain less bothered about it, than this one. I have also never heard the word 'orty' before.John Bosley wrote:Silly me. All on my own here and not realising that it is OK to insult, take the piss out of anyone who is or might be suffering from autism.
It looks as if 'orty' is the new 'spas'.
As long as she wasn't playing a Native American Indian, that'd just be confusing.Matthew Green wrote:Thank you Charlie. Yes, if someone with no knowledge of tennis had come into the room while I was wanking over the Williams-Safina match, once theyd got over the initial shock, they might ask which one was Venus. It would be rather silly of me to say that she was 'the taller one with the more powerful serve and the more prominent jawline' when I could just say 'the black one'. Is that racist? No, just efficient.
