My Body Depreciates Faster Than Your Hummer

This seems like a bit of old news at this point-two days, geesh-but there's data suggesting we've been spending our rebate checks on porn. It seems to make sense, $600 really isn't enough to get out of the house on any sort of quality vacation. It isn't going to pay your bills either, so your concern-troll of a spouse is still off-limits, with their unrelenting talk of foreclosures and disconnections. It certainly won't cover whores, at least not Spitzer-grade whores. Maybe it's just my midwestern superiority complex doing the thinking, but considering all the trouble, showering and shaving it takes to get psyched up for hired-ass, it really isn't worth it, for me at least, to settle for garden-variety whores. $600 will get you two potatoes and a jar of Lea and Perrins at the grocery store, but they'll be full of salmonella and Diethylene Glycol anyway, so food is out of the question.

Porn really is one the last available shots at getting any sort of value. I imagine $600 would land you a solid block of reputable subscriptions with a little left over for something exotic, something involving balloon animals and Harry Potter slash fiction.

I put my money towards a new camera, but I'd be lying if I claimed it wasn't for taking dirty pictures of myself in a half-assed attempt to capitalize on this porn boom I've been hearing about.

news, money, garden-variety whores
