I'd like to use this entry to discuss something that's been on my mind for a while, namely, pornography. You may not know it, but its pretty much everywhere you look these days. It might not be the kind of of stuff that would make a priest rip off his collar in rage or a mother cover her child's eyes (though often times it is), because we have laws about that sort of stuff. Pornography is defined as "obscene writings, drawings, photographs, or the like, esp. those having little or no artistic merit." Most people who live in contemporary society are subjected to obscene media content on a daily basis. You might agree that we are constantly exposed to pornography on a daily basis even if we don't choose to do so.
Advertising is an industry that has grown so large in this day and age that you can't escape it. If you watched the Super Bowl, you may have noticed the degree of obscenity that was a component of the numerous commercials. GoDaddy.com for example featured humor revolving around augmented breasts in a courtroom. I don't know about you, but that's all I really remember about the commercial. That, and the fact that a Danica Patrik, a leading female role model, chose to sell out her image for the sake of this advertising gimmick. This is what advertising has come to, blatant offensive material in order to garner attention for a whatever useless product someone is trying to sell, in this case, a website domain. Well, I know some people could benefit from this combination, such as somebody interested in starting a porn website. If you don't believe me, just go to the GoDaddy.com and you might be-veary surprised.
