GRIPE GUY
WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH...









Gripe Guy here; I'm alive and well and working for the new paper. So... it seems only fitting that I complain about stuff here, too. Could someone tell me... what's the deal with people thinking porno is bad? I don't know if this has happened to you, but just because I happen to like porno mags, adult stories, and adult videos, people think I'm a pervert. These people, of course, aren't my fellow BEA or be-buddies folk; they're the so-called 'normal' people. That's right; whether it be parents, girlfriends, or even friends, they all think I'm a weird-o just because I happen to like porn. Well... I think they're the ones who need to get their fucking heads checked.

For starters, when did it become a crime to think of a woman as an 'object'? Feminists and porn-haters everywhere say that porn makes men think of women as 'objects' and not as 'real people'. I'd just like to point out to these people that when any guy, not just a porn reader, sees a good-looking woman, they size her up and check her out. Trust me when I say that they certainly aren't checking out her personality.

I have no problems with people who don't want to look at porn; this is still a free country. But when people want to stop me from getting my porn, I get pissed. When people accuse me of being strange just because I like porn, I get pissed. After all, what the hell is so wrong with admiring the female form? The human physical form has long been considered a work of art.

The stupidest of all the ban-pornography crusaders are the ones who say it is against their religion to read porno, therefore no one should have it. That makes about as much sense as someone who says that it is against his or her religion for anyone NOT to read porno, therefore everyone must read it. What I'm trying to get at is that we all need to just adopt a policy of "live and let live". "Whatever floats your boat" is a good all-around way we should all be living. This applies to other things besides porn as well. So... I'm signing off this week with a big "fuck you" to everyone out there that wants to tell me that I can't watch porno.
