There’s a lot to look at in this image. At first glance, one sees the anonymity of Norman Rockwell’s mid-century America: the house-unparticular porch, the timelessness of the couple form. Take another look and the pillars supporting the unseen roof of the porch start to resemble the Ionic columns of the White House, the background becoming a gesture or a promise of possibility. You begin to see the image in the aggregate, and the couple, girded by a backdrop literally overwhelmed by the household, becomes the timelessness of the entire image. This photo also tells a profound story about whiteness, above and beyond the fact that almost everything in this photo is, itself, white. It’s such an all-consuming aesthetic, here, that it practically resists interpretation; like the generically familiar (to me, a white person) porch, the cover photo claims that there’s nothing to see, because we already know what it is. We have seen this image, we know this couple, “we” should be comfortable. My “we” is particular to me, but then again, I am more or less exactly who this photo is aimed at. As a queer person, I also notice the quasi-uniform-like aesthetic of Pete and Chasten — I wondered, for a second, if they were actually wearing the same pair of pants — marveling for a moment at the sartorial doppel-banging that at first seems to claim center stage in this photo, before realizing that, instead, there’s actually no sex at center stage, here. And that is part of the point.

This really cracked me up. I’ve been watching Video Reactions on YouTube by a guy who calls himself Modern Renaissance Man. He did a reaction to Mississippi Squirrel Revival, and then tacked on a comedy routine at the end, about a woman who had a dreadful wig, and it was made from hairs from a squirrel’s tail. She just went on and on about it, and that’s all I could think of when I saw this person’s picture.
Actually this guy is worth checking out. He’s funny, has great reactions to really good music, is a Christian, and has some interesting attitudes on race. He’s very refreshing.
Yes, it’s called “having too much time on one’s hands”. Ya know, after having ‘thought’ of a cure for cancer, we can now spend some time examining the lint in our bellybuttons.
I kinda always figured that's what Heaven must be like. The Stepford Wives in the clouds.
WTF is that?
What planet did it come from?
The article said Buttplug and his other are “well muscled.” Say what?
