The World is a fine Place and worth fighting for, I believe in the latter part. - Ernest Hemmingway, Andrew Kevin Walker

Turns out Porn is pretty bad.

Apparently using a capitalistic model to make women into a sexualised commodity has negative consequences for women and society as a whole. Of course the counterargument that comes to mind that pretty much every job out there uses people as an exploitable commodity that doesn't care about their health as long as they make money turns out to be a pretty damning indictment of modern society rather than any kind of justification. I do wonder somewhat about her dismissal of humans being able to tell fantasy from reality, its the same kind of argument used against computer games and unless I've missed roving bands of clockwork orange-esque nerds that has been shown to be false.

Oh also the article says Jenna Jameson made the porn industry work for her, that really wasn't the case.
