Leave Porn Alone!

Not bad enough for the Pit

I really dislike this new usage of Porn.

Tragedy Porn to describe sad people you don’t like.

Torture Porn to describe horror movies you don’t like.
Porn is fast becoming the new -gate and I’m against that. It is demeaning to Porn and trust me, Porn is demeaned enough without being linked to Hostel 2 or Anna Nicole Smith’s fans.

What will come next?

Vegans will call the bacon cheesburgers Meat Porn?
Athesists calling the bible Jesus Porn?
The Yankees are Steinbrenner Porn?

Do you really want Porn associated with George Steinbrenner?
Leave Porn alone!

Nothing to see here but a little Outrage Porn.

But can we still have kitten porn? kittenwars.com fulfils all the criteria of porn - but for fulfilling our kitten needs! We gots to have teh kitten pr0n!!!one!!1

But I’ve gotta have my gardening porn and my knitting porn!

Yes but those terms seem to, if anything, uplift porn. People like kittens. It is when people don’t like something and they add the Porn suffix that I’m trying to stop.

Hey, let’s not turn it into Porn-Gate

But what if I’m a Porn-Gateaholic?

Aha, I get it. No objection to me looking at seed catalogues with pictures of BIG tomatoes, then? :stuck_out_tongue:

What you need is a good ol’ fashioned Porn-Gateahol-a-pallooza!

Thanks, but I’ll stick with Porn-Gateahol-a-pallooza II: Electric Boogaloo.

sorry

…on steroids!

Turbo-style.

Don’t go there!

Does this mean that at some point we’re going to have to specify that we’re using the word porn in reference to sex? We’ll have to say “sex-porn.”

Sorry - Kitty Porn is illegal… :wink:

cite!

Years ago I started referring to my food magazines and cookbooks, with the oh, so luscious photos of food splayed out in all its glory drool, food porn. Eventually I discovered other people do this as well. I will not give up my food porn!

Now that you mention it, I do remember this one website where a girl was furiously trying to peel a cucumber. Didn’t look like her method was very efficient, but I gave her A++ for effort and enthusiasm.

That wasn’t the peel she was trying to get off.
