Should [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=242973)thread be in Cafe Society, or in MPSIMS? Yes, pornography is technically an artform, but they’re not discussing the pornography, just people they know.

If a thread entitled “Have you ever met a celebrity?” belongs in MPSIMS, then this kind of thing belongs there. IMHO; YMMV.

And this bothers you why?

I think if the mods really wanted it moved they’d have moved it already. Don’t see the issue.
