It’s confusing, it’s offensive in places for a number of reasons, but it’s impossible to stop reading this blog entry, “curiosities from Japan’s porno shops”. He’s obviously got little comfort around sex toys but his exploration is personal and interesting, even if it finally solves the riddle about what kind of guy still uses the word “porno”.

Also — stand and deliver, Jon Stewart: if you missed last night’s incredible episode of the Daily Show, watch the Christopher Hitchens Iraq smackdown here (QT video; thank you Mojo!). I squealed like a girl when I watched it, which, I guess is pretty much the way I squeal. You see, in America we get our human sexuality education from porn, and our news from comedy shows. It’s like backwards day all the time. Also, while I’m on the topic of international relations, “MC Dubya” (same episode, Comedy Central) is good, but I think Gay Bar (QT video) is still the ultimate lo-tech classic.
