Turns out it was humans.
Jizz did it.
They were horny all along.
Rosebud was her vagina.
Maybe I should be there with a counter picket. Must think on this.
What I don't get is when I was growing up, my hometown had at least four adult bookstores or porn theatres. Across the river in Omaha, there were at least two more that I can recall. The country was much more Christian then, and much more uptight about sex, but you never really heard much about porn from the churches.
In the 90's a new mayor came into town and pushed the porn out (it's now concentrated in one big megastore down by the county line just across the river from a military base. Like everything in the midwest, it's freakishly clean.) and over in Nebraska, you started seeing these church-sponsored "Real Men Don't Do Porn" billboards, featuring faces of Nebraska Football players and the Cornhusker's retired coach-turned-Congressman Tom Osborne (who ranked a little bit higher than Jesus in most Nebraska households back in the day)
I'm certain Nebraskans and Iowans are consuming more porn than they did in those days, if for no other reason because it's easier to get, so why are the churches so uptight? Is it because they can't stand the competition?
100% Poe.
Actually, the First Amendment only prohibits the government from restricting assembly, speech, etc. The Stranger can totally kick these hypocritical "Christians" out of HUMP if you want to.
Then again, I lived in Boulder in the early 90s, and recalled anti-porn protests outside that city's lone sex shop. (The lone strip club was located at the far north side of town, where the bikers hung out, so they left that one alone.)
This shit just writes itself. Also, if there's any truth to LW's threatsâand there isn'tâyou could always just add more showings.
I guess in the Evangelical world, "keeping up with the times" means finding new things to rail against.
And to be sure, Council Bluffs didn't mind porn - they just didn't want it on Broadway. It was Nebraska that was all uptight (and cars with Nebraska plates that filled the porno places parking lots each night) Iowa has much more liberal vice laws.
Doug dear, we teenagers can't have made it easy for the porno minded adults: the big pastime was to cruise up and down Broadway (the Main Street!) in our cars and yell "HI DAD!" at the men buying tickets at the Crest Adult Art Theatre.
As for the Xtian soi-disant "protest", bring it on. I'll be terribly amused. I'll probably even go talk to them for a bit to see how unknowledgeable they are upon the topic which they doth protest.
@18 - If they buy tickets, they'll be supporting porn. The Stranger can simply add more show times to accommodate the humpy masses.
As teenagers, we drive-by egged the protesters outside Planned Parenthood. Reeeeeeal mature, i knowâI probably used to tell this story as if we did this every weekendâbut honestly, we only did this once.
All of this is in the Bible. Most of it approvingly.
@28, 32: I'm not sure if I should ask, but what the fuck is this anal hook thing?
Porn and prostitution are violence towards men.
Men are manipulated by these industries which bleed us by using a natural need and urge and filling it with pablum.
Corinthians 11:8 â 9
8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;
9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
Corinthians 14:34 â 35
34 women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says.
35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
I hope JiK can make it. I'd love to chat with him for a while before and after the show.
As Annie Sprinkle used to say, âIf youâre uptight you shouldnât come to my show because you wonât enjoy yourself.â
Not that youâre uptight, but you shouldnât do something that you wonât enjoy.
Itâs not porn the way âMy Secret Gardenâ wasnât porn. The only reason you donât think itâs porn is that centaurs arenât your thing. The point is to celebrate that all sexual people have our thing.
Davey Wavey is doing a global tour -- surely Dan Savage has more fans, enough to cover costs plus a nice first class ticket for Dan, husband & co. on a global HUMP! tour -- HUMP! London, HUMP! Singapore, HUMP! NYC, HUMP! Los Angeles. Or just add NYC.
So until someone explains it I will hypothesize:
It was a large hook that curved up into a dildo, was inserted in someones ass, and then said person was raised up off the ground with it, perhaps swung around a bit?
Am I warm?
Yep, Bailo, once you've emptied your paypal account, sent all your money to evil porn sites, your wrists exhausted and every tissue in the house used up, you can lay back and curse them all for manipulating you into doing so. Especially by filling it w/ pablum! Why, those breasts weren't *real* at all, were they??? Curses! You win this time, internet!
There's a million things to do out there. Picketing the festival. Com'on.
