I just can't help but wonder what the films were. Still, I do have quite a lot of angst about how sex-negative British media is about porn - you have things like the BBC (while we suffer with embarrassing cable news outlets) and yet your porn reporting is almost 100% unverified hysteria. I hate that you have no balance about the topic, because I want you to so very badly. I ramble. But I do hope Steve gets a twinge, or ten. He made us into savvier porn consumers after all, by challenging us to "think different." I like to think that the more tightly Lord Darth Jobs squeezes his fist to make Apple a Disneyfied walled garden of ideology, the more planets slip through his grasp. A lot of very reasonable and cool people still work there, after all... Oh, Ms. Smith! I just can’t help but wonder what the films were.

Her 'expertise' in porn comes from the fact that her former husband (they are now separated) rented two pay-per-view porn movies on their TV service, which she subsequently claimed as a parliamentary expense (in other words, the taxpayers pay for it). Unfortunately for her, the Daily Telegraph published the details for hers and others' expenses claims in 2008, leading to much hilarity, rage, several criminal investigations and several resignations from government posts. I guess that her bid to be a governor on the BBC Trust is taking some time, and she needs to make some extra money to pay the mortgage. I didn't read the comments on the Daily Fail article you linked to, but doubtless there will be much frothing at the mouth. :) [On an unrelated note, I am typing this on my iPad. Do you think Steve Jobs gets a twinge every time it autocorrects my mistyping the word 'porn'? Of course, now that I try it again, it won't cooperate - maybe the Steve is monitoring for abuse of his offspring..] Ah yes, Jacqui Smith, our beloved (not) former Home Secretary.
