...Slim, Missy Eliott and a bit of 2 Live Crew to make up for some of the crudity I’ve since lost. Seeing why these programs do not work is far, far too easy. The average teenager’s capacity to store gigabytes and gigabytes of porn has made the concept of “purity” something of an abstraction. I am not sure what this “purity” is, but I’m pretty sure it would have elicited laughter from a classroom full of schoolboys who spent their time...
...listen to Howard Stern, giggle over Janet Jackson, collect unrated DVD editions of the American Pie movies, gossip about celebrities' dirty secrets. We ogle (and then condemn) the dropping of a towel on a Monday Night Football teaser, leaf through Jenna Jameson's How to Make Love Like a Porn Star, log onto the Internet and bathe in all that warm cyberswill. But all this is essentially kid stuff, somewhere between adolescent and infantile in its voyeuristic avidity. It codifies the randy talk in a boys' tree house: the boasts and jokes and threats that mask the fear...

Mondovino, his documentary about globalization's impact on the winemaking business, is a quirky, subversive defense of Terroir: the idea that every wine ought to be a unique expression of the specific combination of sun, soil and human sweat that went...
...Howard Stern, giggle over Janet Jackson, collect unrated DVD editions of the "American Pie" trilogy, gossip about celebrities' dirty secrets. We ogle (and then condemn) the dropping of a bathrobe on a Monday Night Football teaser; leaf through Jenna Jameson's best-seller "How to Make Love Like a Porn Star"; log onto the Internet and bathe in all that lovely cyberswill. Not to mention a multibillion-dollar porn industry that produces some 10,000 films a year, far more than the annual number of non-porn films...
