I realize that as far as title’s go, that’s not one guaranteed to lure the reader in. I’m also aware that some people may be thinking “So how is that different to the rest of your posts?” However, I’m fairly confident that most people will agree that the linked article is even more ridiculous than my usual random rubbish.
The article in question is about pornography rather than femdom, but it was amusing/infuriating enough that I though it worth sharing. The title is “Pornography and National Security”, which would also make a pretty good onion article title. The author Jennifer S. Bryson (of the Witherspoon Institute) uses it to argue that widespread pornography may be contributing to the problem of terrorism. As far as I can tell she bases that on the fact that terrorists have been found with pornography and have been known to visit strip clubs.
It’s written in classic Fox news style, light on facts, but heavy on leading questions like “Is it possible that…?”, “Could it be….?” and “Are we as a society…..?”
Personally I wonder, could the author possibly have her head further up her ass? Is it really true that she doesn’t understand the difference between correlation and causation? Does she perhaps not see the contradiction between claiming that pornography is ubiquitous and simultaneously claiming that finding it on terrorists is meaningful of something? Would she be better off spending her time on her line of biblical coloring books rather than writing fact free articles trying to link 9/11 to pornography?
My favorite quote from the article is:
Would those terabytes of pornography and such more aptly be dubbed “terrorbytes”?
Errr, how about no? Although it does sound like a great idea for a Stephen Colbert monologue.
