Porn and hipocrisy
OK, this is a rant. Be warned. There it goes.
I hate porn. No, actually, hate is not the word. I find porn disgusting. Revolting.
I might be wrong thinking that the word would be a better place if the porn industry disappeared tomorrow (not, Im not wrong, but this is just for the sake of argument). But things get to record peaks of hypocrisy when the local video rental calls its porn section ADULT. Im copying an ad from the newspaper, and the caps were in the original: Foreign, ADULT, Cult Classics, New Releases.
Excuse me? If ADULT films are porn, what do we call the non-porn movies that are not suitable for kids? Besides, emphasizing its adult audience tries to deny both the fact that porn is ridiculously easy for teenagers to get and the existence of childhood pornography.
I would be less offended if the video rental announced a porn section. In capitals and red ink. At least that would be more honest, and truer to its meaning (after all, pornography means description or depiction of prostitution).
