No, way - there ain't no such thing as "Pornstitution" - now on your nightly news.

Yeah, cause you know the porn industry coupled with mainstream media, is not an 'institution' especially because 'one group' of feminists "invented it" and another didn't, so how DARE it be part of the "feminist" lexicon....blahdee blahdee bloody blah.

I'm sorry, isn't like 80% of the world's media owned by 4 companies?

Fox News Porn: Too Hot for the Internet?
By Robert Greenwald, Brave New Films. Posted November 16, 2007.

Trigger warning.
(note: I'm not entirely up with the whole idea of re-using the material on fox to 'create' a whole new site about 'fox news porn', but I am not sure how else to do it without showing that "yes, this is what 'passes for news' and 'journalism'". I also have to wonder how much money Fox gets from pornographers on an annual basis).




No, what got the attack dogs at Fox hungry and looking for flesh was none other than an exposé of their smut peddling! It makes sense in a way, because advertisers tend not to like their products being promoted between segments of soft porn. And a large part of their conservative base hates this as well, which might be why one Christian organization compared the way women were dressed on Fox to the manner in which "hookers" are attired.

So what did we do?

With the Fox News Hounds' help, we found enough Fox lasciviousness for a whole porn site!!

Really, we did. And it wasn't that hard to do. In fact, if you thought Fox Attacks: Decency was a glimpse into the lustful thoughts of your favorite Fox anchor, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Satire and parody aside, we think this is extremely objectionable, misogynistic content. We still don't understand how Fox is allowed to call this "news." So let's make this campaign count and hit Fox where it hurts -- their fair and balanced sheet.

General Strike 9/11/07!

From this website here.

A National Call to Action:
Tuesday, September
11th, 2007
No school.
No work. Buy nothing. Stay
home or hit the
streets.
No business as
usual.


Why strike? Why on 9/11?
September 11 is a day of mourning and reflection,
but it should also be a day of dissent and action.

Since the tragic
events of 9/11/01, America has fallen under a spell of fear and deception.
The
government peddles lies and steadily chips away at our democratic
rights.
Hundreds of thousands have been killed in the Iraq war—mostly
civilians.
Torture, surveillance, tyranny, empire. Many of us can recognize
the fascistic
direction of this government. But what do we do?

The
time has come to
let go of our fear—to stand up to lies and tyranny with
passion and urgency. To
connect with others and show our collective power.
It’s time to realize that
we’ve got nothing to lose. The time is now.

The General Strike is a
national call to action, from citizens to
other citizens. It is not about a
single issue. It is not an anti-war
protest, a civil rights protest, an election
fraud protest. It is not about
torture, surveillance, corporate media, the 9/11
coverup, or the
environment. This strike is about all these issues and more.

We all have
different concerns, but we all have the same concern: we are
being lied to
and this government does not represent us. Join other Americans in
demanding
truth, justice, and accountability.

This our country.
And
our
world.
We just have to stand up.

You are too generous, no really....

A quick response to:

The Thinking Man's Guide to Bachelor Parties
Whom to invite, where to have it, and more.
By Troy Patterson


Article otherwise known as Trickle-down economics meets empowerment meets cooptation of feminism meets benevolent male consumer meets "the global south" meets white male privilege. Bah, nuff said.

Naturally, "the arts" include exotic dancing: The bachelor should be teased, humiliated, and possibly oil-wrestled by a professional ecdysiast. Some of you may object on feminist grounds, but strippers claim to find their work empowering, and this is no time for a debate. It is sufficiently progressive to treat the dancers with respect and to tip generously.


you SHOULD ALWAYS treat dancers with respect (was there a time where you weren't supposed to, I guess so cause it's now 'progressive'?)... but that's not your real point is it?

Adventuresome sorts might consider a trip overseas, or at least to Montreal, home of Club Super Sexe and its DJ, who brings the most charming Quebecois lilt to such phrases as "Lesbian show, lesbian show!" Amsterdam, Ixtapa, Reykjavik, and Cartegena have also become popular, but who can keep up with extradition treaties? Why not see America first? There's always New Orleans, a jaunt with a humanitarian vibe: The tragedy of Hurricane Katrina may have slipped from the front pages, but the ladies of Larry Flynt's Barely Legal Club still need your support.


Right, because how much of your money actually is going to support the women and not larry flynt.

What's so funny is that the only women who were really welcome back into new orleans during the initial devastation were the strippers, I remember reports detailing how uncomfortable female relief workers felt at that time, so much so that many of them returned.

And you care so much about the feminist cause, no?

I love the idea of 'trickle-down' economics, the whole problem with it is - nothing ever trickles down anywhere until you, the supposedly humanitarian-turned activist consumer, get something out of it. If you are a dude, that's most likely a good old blow-job.... This could of course be anywhere; in the American "global south", thailand, India, the eastern block, hey and now Iraq!

Cause you know, wherever tragedy hits - uncle sam and his henchman will always be there with a bucket ready to collect the sweat and tears of women and children everywhere! (you did say 'barely legal' right?).

PS. If you were really a 'thinking man', I would say - wouldn't you think to ask your fiance/SO what she thought of this? This is of course the wedding issue. Considering that it's women who do most of the wedding planning - maybe this was supposed to be a spot where you exert male entitlement to 'barely legal teens' and by killing two birds with one stone you get to tell women readers what they really ought to expect their future spouses are into. Cause you aren't really addressing a male audience. If you were I'd think that you'd think - that might be something a fiance might be offended by.... But that's an afterthought for the 'thinking man'.
