Slog - Comments on The Dangers of Pot http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/04/the_dangers_of_pot The stronger the pot, the likelier you'll wind up making out with someone you really shouldn't be making out with. Pot: The gateway drug to some deeply freaky shit. Originally posted on 4/19, moved up to 4/20 for all the obvious reasons.... Copyright 2008 Fri, 20 Apr 2007 09:32:54 -0800 Wed, 02 May 2007 13:42:02 -0800 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=3.34 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Comment by Aislinn So, as long as you're not driving, making out with your brother is okay? Was that pot laced with ecstasy? I've never seen pot affect anyone's sexual preference, or turn off their gross-that's-my-brother-ometer.

The message: Go ahead and smoke pot, just don't drive -- everything else goes. Even, uh, making out with your brother.

And while at first you think the guy in the back seat is freaked out about them kissing 'cuz their boys, he's actually freaked out because they're brothers. That makes it freaky, not that they're both boys.

I think it's a riot.

Also, it's hot because I know they're actors. I watched it without sound; so I didn't even know they were supposed to be brothers until reading the comments. That was a very tender kiss.

If your brother is that hot, would it be that bad to make out with him? Or hell, even full on butt fucking, It's not like your offspring are going to be deformed by it. With all the daddy/son porno and personal ad's out there, is it really that much of a stretch of the imagination? I personally find it a little distasteful and would wonder about the psychology and what kind of fucked up family relationships people would have, but who am I to say what consenting adults should do right?

Lucky for me I'm an only child, but i'm just sayin'.

I mean, the whole reason to freak out over hetero incest is the possibility of mutant children, right? But lesbian or gay siblings could do the bump and grind all they want without any possibility of children. So what, precicely, is the problem?

I've never made out with my brother because (A) he's straight, and (B) he's not my type even if he was gay. But the general concept doesn't bother me at all. If I had a gay brother that turned me on, I'd do it.

And come on. Isn't twins every gay man's fantasy?

I sent it around th office and to my friends and there as been nothing but sniggers and chuckles.

I love the fact that the guy in the back isn't freaked out by the guy-on-guy kiss. His concern seems to be solely about the fact that the guys are related. Maybe he was wishing they kissed him.

My neighbor's restoring a nice orange one, just like the one I used to do bong hits in back when they were almost new. I don't understand the attraction, personally; it's a terrible car.
