* As you may have heard, Prince(ss) declared the internet “over” so you can just pack up your free tube porn and go home. MK describes it best (image via), “Pack up all your shit and let’s all say our goodbyes to easy access porn, videos of cats riding on Roombas, 505 errors, and up-to-the-second reports of what strangers are having for lunch, because Prince has puckered up his lips and kissed the internet goodbye. The magical unicorn tampon who once offered up his album for free on the internet has declared that the world wide web is dead. Shut it down, Al Gore, the puckery precious one has spoken!” (dlisted.com)
* My article on the .xxx TLD — I’ll do a bigger post on it, but since it’s fresh now you should read it. It has more surprises than the mainstream coverage and the tech blogs all put together.

Thanks for linking to Debauche Diva’s blog post. It’s so mice to hear more reasonable opinions on porn, especially sex in general. Lately all the anti-porn articles popping up have had me feeling down and almost wanting to be blind to the whole issue. But I know that’s not right for us and the need to educate other about sex and even porn. Really hope major newspapers start picking up more pro-porn or middle ground pieces.
