so. with this touted child porn ring busted today i kind of wonder why every is so ashamed to talk about it. hell. what we had here was a real american dream. a slice of america as straight as apple pie, and twice as addictive... it was about money. in a culture thats now grown so bloated in its search of on demand, my way, lifestyles; is it really that alarming that porn follows us? my point is some one out there came up with the great idea of selling on demand porn via web cams with kids, and were out raged. i think what we have here is a giant step forward in our evolution. see in the days of early man, [circa 1991], porn with kids could only get found one of two ways... either you go out kick over some lunch boxes and raid a sand box, or you let someone else do it and hope they send pictures. for now, unknown users, struggling with their affliction of needing to see children being raped on camera, have found a way to stroke that relaxing rush of endorphins with delight, any time, anywhere, by credit card. why not? people do banking, order pizzas, clothes, print insurance quotes; why not get your fix of exploring your own Dora when you want it via the world wide web. i bet this flexes the american money muscle more than anything else to the rest of the world. using our ingenuity and know-how to solve problems.

but who came up with this? really. who was the guy that said... "hey. i bet i know how to make money! screw work, screw inheritence, im going to go out and make my fat millions the right way, im going to shill porno... but ive got a way around that pesky problem of picking up 8 year olds to pound... ill keep a stock on hand, then let people pay me to watch me go at it. yeah. here comes my millions, just rollin in. ill get that place up in the hamptons ive always dreamed about, ill have that mercedes ive wanted.. hell maybe the hot girl in accounting will go out with me when im totally loaded, and a mega porn millionare." the funny bone tickler here for me, is the decision to take credit cards. according to the story aired on ABC Nightly News, people assaulted kids on demand, via web cams, then charged views by credit cards. thats the way in which people were caught. Adam Smith, and his wealth of nations is hard at work pounding little Barny-ites, but forgot all about the trail of shit leading right back to him. call it the evolution of the economy. call it a short sell. but this time, its leaving a mess bigger than what fits in the diapers of the kids they are after.

im glib about it. im not denying that. but porn is what it is. is it wrong, is it sad, is it fucked up that they pull little kids in? absolutely. but porn is big business. porno is more money than you and i will ever know, and its inevitable that something like this comes along. porn is a multi billion dollar industry. ofcourse someone is out there, looking for a way to get theirs; and im not surprised someone is finding a way to sell it. this is the age of every device having a remote control. this is the age where you have to do everything on the internet. this is the age where if cant be cooked in oil, you cant sell it in a drive through window, and that aint going to work. so, im not surprised that this has passed on. but porn reflects life more truely that any of us really want to admit i think. maybe thats the problem we have with it.

i was thinking about this an awful lot this afternoon; just the idea of fetishism. how do we connect a fetish with actual instances of eroticism. as bad as it sounds; i guess kids are easy to figure out... its either a sense of controlling them, or its a return trip to innocence or child like states. i get that. but what about scat porn? how in the world does someone come around with the idea of enjoying a fresh dump in their mouth? i dont get that. plushies. people that dress up in full plush animal costumes to have sex. like a bad disney film on the Spice channel. i dont get that either. latex nuns. it makes no sense to me. but fundamentally its the same. a fetish needs some sort of desired object to propegate sexual fullfillment. and alarming number of people dig feet. some litterally dig coprses. but i just dont get it. after throwing some fetish terms around in google; i was coming up with more fetishes than ways that i knew to describe my distaste for google to find them. people seem to have all sorts of odd quirks that make them tick. i dont claim to understand any of it. and i dont claim to want to experience any of it. but the fact of the matter is porn is legit. porn pushes billions of dollars in the economy. porn is the past time of millions of people on the internet. porn detaches us from the world and sex that we have, to the world and sex that we seem to enjoy. the day we started churning out copies of Deep Throat, was the day porn made it. all of the sudden its a commodity like apples or Pampers or motor oil. we can apply market forces and watch it be manipulated in the proper market channels. that wall came tumbling down long ago. the day we harvested the power of the internet for porn, we knew it was going to explode. when pornography became free, open, and lacking an ID like a strip club; all bets were off. like it or not, kiddie porn sales are legit. its happening. just like crack, its illegal. but its being exchanged. and just like crackdealers are the bouncing baby of success for impreshionable youths in inner cities, child porn purveyors are too the epitomy of success.

how willing are we as a culture to let more fetish elements become truely legit? free will and all that aside, thats not healthy. trust me, i get that. im all for less censorship, fewer goverment intrusions. but the anything goes approach is much different than the every thing goes approach; even if it is a subtle difference. the idea that isolated things can make it as one-offs; vs. a rule of one-off's as the norm. but somewhere before we arrive to that point, we have to make this determination about whats ok. whats taboo that stays taboo. what has been wrong, and what is always going to be wrong. why is the fucking line drawn about having sex with someone at 18 years old, when biologically there isnt always a difference between them and a 17 year old? has it always been medically unsafe to rape a child- absolutely. hasnt it always been emotionally damaging- positively. but its not been eliminated. why does it become filthy and wrong to do the things to a child that adults pray that people would do to them? how come the world anal sex, seems to have lost all sense of shame, and oral isnt even considered sex anymore [thank you bill clinton]? the lines this culture draws are at best a zig zag. again, the message is "i need total control over my phone bill, roll over minutes, online billing, call blocking" but that attitude seems to have cost 26 people their freedom today. and we loathe them for it. im not sad. dont get my take wrong. im not holding up a sign asking for their release. im not saying kiddie porn should be available. im saying, the line isnt straight anymore. the man that invented flash-fry hamburgers in red wax paper is the same model that someone watched to develop a way for people to view sick obsessive taboos. why not. i dont think these concepts have changed a hell of a lot. sex sells, and people are catering to that sale. thats why there are burger joints, taco huts, and fried chicken spots. before you know it, people will be taking credit cards for dolphin sex films, and Hamburger Helper Fetish newsletters, or Gull Bladder penetration movies for sale. porn evolves as fast as the human affinity for a new attachment evolves. our culture does the same thing. this is the kind of thing that happens when that intersects. maybe even inter-sex.
