Porn or pony


Recommended Posts

Will you think of any worse of me if I cop to having heard the name "Misty Rains"? :unsure: I only got 5 of 12 overall. :g

What is obvious is that the guy knows nothing about porn "ratings" as revealed in the opening:

Are we discussing here a star of one of the approximately four hundred thousand single-, double-, and triple-X-rated films out there ...

When the Hollywood rating system established "X" as describing movies with adult content inappropriate for children, the porn industry next door appropriated the term, and to differentiate its product, called its movies "XXX". There has never been a porn film with a rating of "X" or "XX".

Yeah, Misty Rains was the only one I was sure of. I got three out of twelve, meaning that the other two that I got right were guesses and the rest were incorrect guesses.

I remember in "Big Time" where Tom Waits tells a story about seeing a porn theater with seven "X"s. "Girls without skin, that's all I could think..."

He also relates seeing a store that specialized in "used erotica." "How used is it? Who used it? Who cleans it? Are they licensed? All these questions came to my mind..."

Yeah, "XXX" became the minimum, and theaters differentiated by claiming to be "more X-rated". But no one ever saw a porn film "rated" X or XX.
