Porn break

Great little 2-page editorial on pornography. It is mostly work-safe, there's no pictures of wangs or vaginas or anything. But obviously, given the subject matter...you know what, I take that back. Too much time without a job as corroded my ability to say what is and what is not work-safe. I will say that it is not crudely written, given what it is about. Please read.
It reminds me of a quote (remind me to write about quotes, btw...there's this thing about witticisms and aphorisms, etc...) that I read in Dr. Drew's book about narcissism (something else I should write about).
*runs to go get book*
It was in my backpack, as I had taken it down to the library earlier this evening to renew it...
It contains a quote from another author, Daniel Boorstin:
We risk being the first people in history to have been able to make their illusions so vivid, so persuasive, so realistic that we can live in them.
-Daniel Boorstin, The Image (1961)
The quote is about celebrity, I think, but I feel like it applies especially well to the Internet age.
Beware the cave of wonders you build for yourself, friends. You may find it hard to get out.
