Mainstream Hollywood is WORSE than the porno industry.
Porn is porn, it's not that complicated. Hollywood twists values to their worst. Even porn stars would admit they're nothing special, while celebrities like Sarandon and Penn won't shut up about national policy. We can hide away porn from kids. It's much harder to explain to them why some G-rated films are really political propoganda, filled with tripe and idiotic lessons. (Any Disney film made after 1989 qualifies in this respect.)

"If terrorism and depraved, stupid porn flicks about oral sex are the best examples of free speech worth fighting for, lets just give up now."
I'm sorry, but I fail to see your connection between porn and terrorism. Terrorism is not viewed as a form of free speech. However, porn is a form of expression. You may disagree with that form of expression, but that is why the first amendment exists: to protect the freedom of people to express what not everyone wants to hear. Also, if you really want to argue what the founding fathers meant by the amendments, lets try the 2nd: the right to bear arms. This was meant for men serving in the militia to make and keep the United States free and safe though in recent times, it is interpreted that everyone should be able to carry their gun with them because they "have the right to bear arms." However, I have digressed, By lumping terrorism and porn together simply because they have been represented by the same attorneys is ridiculous. Everyone is entitled to a lawyer to ensure that swift and sound justice is employed in this country.
"Will Debbie be promoting this column on Howard Stern later today, as she often does?"
Debbie does Howard Stern?
Now there's a thought capable of curdling the non-fat dairy substitute in one's coffee. Ewwwww!
You may call porn an expression but in reality its an audio/visual depiction of the human sex act. Sort of like a documentary. Would you rush to legitimize a movie made about someone defecating all over the place? How about bondage and group sex acts? Are they just an expression, too?
Welcome to Freerepublic. (since 2005-02-24)
You've been here less than a week and your already hijacking our porn threads?
"Hollywood IS a moral cesspool. So they will make a documentary about Deep Throat."
I was 10 when Deep Throat came out and I remember it making quite a splash. Is it news-worthy now (I think it was back then)? Is it worth a historical reference? Maybe. This documentary isn't something I'd rush out to see. (I prefer a film like Riding Giants, a surf movie, not a porn flick ;) Lumping all of Hollywood behind this Deep Throat work isn't really fair. I'm sure the film industry employs a lot of decent people, both in front of and behind the camera.
Re Post 5 KLH23 the posters on FR are merely observing that people who want to do away with the 2nd Amendment, relegate the 1st Amendment to clitori in the throat indulge in terrorism and the harboring and protecting of terrorists all have common threads joining them together much like a mutual leftist self admiration society...
...to put is more simply, it seems flies and shxt still are found together and observedly mutually attractive
Gee, is it that they dared make a movie called Debbie Does Dallas?
Sorry, the movie did make history. For a time, porn became part of our culture, openly discussed and experienced by many. Note - in 2002 dollars, $600 million is 2 and 1/2 billion dollars. Any recent movies make over $2 billion?
You know -reading this thread instantly popped into my mind an idea for a title if anyone chose to do a documentary exposing the myths and lies surrounding the 'gay' homosexual deathstyle (aka lifestyle)
The title: Deep Colon
ROTFLMAO
Little Nicky was kinda Hollywood Porn. For kids.
Certainly sick and disgusting and deserving of at least an R rating. But it was PG-13.
Does Inside Deep Throat show us the advent of AIDS and other deadly diseases and cancers brought on by the rampant, joyless behavior spawned by the industry Deep Throat helped unleash? Does it mention all the porn stars whove been diagnosed with AIDS, some of whom died? The addicts porn created and the families it destroyed?How they die: the Dead Porn Star Archive. AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, AIDS, dismembered in dumpster, AIDS, overdose, AIDS. . . .
Walmart sucks, porn is okay. What will your third FR post entail?
You won't understand the Second Amendment.
I can't understand why you're posting on this forum.
ping to self for later pingout.
