Speaking of mommy porn, I read the weirdest and squickiest thing on Facebook yesterday: there's this mother over in the U.K. who apparently is a sex addict, and was eavesdropping on her son having sex with someone, and she said just from what she could hear, she was, "Dead impressed;" and now is pimpin' him out, so-to-speak, so she can get other girls to sleep with him as well.

Oy vey gevalt, to coin a phrase.

...and that would still be a better movie than 50 Shades of Gray.

Anyone ever see that Family Guy episode "Peterotica?" I'm sure those would be better written than "This is DEFINITELY Not Twilight! Seriously! It isn't! No Way!"

The thing that's most shameful is that, well... who the heck are these old women who read that crap fooling? If you want to watch porn, watch porn. It's all there on the internet. Don't feed the ego of a glorified hack fan fic writer.

Time to drudge up an old topic.

50 SHADES OF GRAY.

So, the mommy porn book was popular enough to warrant a film adaptation (and it really squicks me out to know my mom and her best friend intend to see it)... but now it's been adapted into a musical.

Honest to God...
Believe it or not, Target of all places is selling merchandise branded by the movie. Lube, blindfolds, even condoms I think... then again a musical does seem more baffling. Can't top that.

And to think, some hack fan fic writer's raking all this stuff in from stealing from Twilight, which sucked and was overrated to begin with.

Seriously... why are they rewarding someone who didn't think the relationship between Edward and Bella wasn't abusive enough?

If a guy wrote either one, we'd have pitchforks and torches outside his house.

Not necessarily.

Sometime last year, a guy launched a Kickstarter campaign to get a book he had written published; for all intents and purposes, it was essentially a handbook for men on how to rape women.

He exceded his goal by 800%.

I really don't want to make this joke, but...

Great! Someone plagiarized Fifty Shades of Gray! Double Plagiarism right there.

But yeah. That's freaking terrible right there. Then I suppose the internet collective of really horrible people that would otherwise just keep their disgusting opinions to themselves otherwise, no one should be shocked, surprised, or even phased by that. There are no fooling pro-drunk driving websites out there. Because awful needs to be prideful awful.

At least, though, when you receive a copyright strike as opposed to a claim, those eventually go away. I think if you can keep your channel in good standing, that any strike you have is removed after 16-18 months, or something like that.

I don't have any on my play/goof-off channel now, over the course of the last several years, I've had strikes from Bagdasarian Productions (for posting a repitch of "Diamond Dolls"), from Disney (for posting Grover's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel, which was the first vid I ever uploaded), from Sesame Workshop (for posting EW entries that were requested of me), from Fox (for posting a M*A*S*H Poop), and I forget who else.
Since WHEN did Disney own Sesame Street? oh yeah, they don't, and they never will. because if they do Jim Henson will roll over his grave. talk about a false claim.

Mr. Enter's YT channel was terminated thanks to corporate brats abusing the Content ID system, namely Viacom. He's the guy who reviewed a lot of much-hated SpongeBob episodes released during the post-movie era, among other episodes of shows. :boo:

Hopefully the counter-claim he sent will re-instate his channel within 2 weeks.
I heard about on Toonzone, and got ticked off about it. I hate copyright infringement :boo::mad::sleep:
ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY REMOVE MY FAVORITE CHANNELS, like Mr. Enter.
:mad:

Okay, has anyone else been ticked off by the FCC internet take over, entitled Net Neutraulity, well. recently they are Title 2 Communications Act, which means the Internet won't have any freedom.
and that's what makes the Internet so good.
and I'm hoping that the people at Fight For The Future will be able to stop this horrible mess from happening in February, and the internet will stay free and open.

Disney owns ABC, and Jimmy Kimmel's show airs on ABC, so therefore, Disney owns Jimmy Kimmel's show; it doesn't have anything to do with SST, the strike was because I uploaded a clip from Jimmy Kimmel.

You realize the FCC doesn't even do anything anymore, right? I mentioned this a while back, I actually contacted them last summer, asking them if it's their job to monitor the kind of content we see on television and so forth, why do they continue to allow more and more degrading, vulgar, and obscene content to be seen? Their response was they didn't care. Seriously.
