Fox News Porn
One of the less-attractive characteristics of anti-sex zealots is that they wish to have it both ways. They use titillation to sell their spiel of, “Oh, isn’t this awful?” while disclaiming that they are the least bit titillated. This isn’t new, of course; much Victorian prurience was presented as a warning to others not to follow this depraved course. Then, at least, it was done with a nudge and wink, and everyone knew that was just what one had to say. Now, it’s just hypocrisy.
Thus, we were ecstatic to find out about the site Fox News Porn, an entire site dedicated to the hypocrisy of Fox News’ using soft-core porn to sell their rabid anti-sexuality. We particularly appreciate the “Live Nood Girlz” design esthetic of the site.
