I haven't seen any porn but I have been offended by some of the commercials they show. The totally awesome computers commercial comes to mind. That's got to be one of the most annoying commercials ever.

Something about this sentence just fills me with the assurance that something productive will come of all of this.

In other embarrassing Utah County news, a family friendly movie editing store is a front for a porn studio and distribution center. Oh, the owners are also pedophiles.

Boy, was I ever stunned when I saw that on the front page of the paper this morning. I know that guy (Thompson). Incredible.

Given the insanely high number of registered sex offenders in Utah County, Davis, and SLC county, these guys should feel right at home.

Back to the Gold's gym protesters; what are your feelings about their motivations? I don't think these are just naive nerds who were shocked to see some scantily clad women in a music video. From the beginning I thought that this might have very little to do with the videos at the gym and everything to do with self promotion. Now that they've revealed they have more businesses to protest I feel like I was correct. The thing I can't figure out is what the ultimate benefit for them will be. Or in other words, in the end who are they trying to impress?

Wow, I just read that article and I'm floored. What I find most amazing is that two 14 year old girls would actively seek out a paying customer for sex acts and THEN when $20 is discovered by one of the girls' mothers the girl tells her mom how she got it. So your moral compass is screwed up enough to go a whorin', but you won't lie to your mom about where the money came from?

It's not mentioned in the article, but I've heard that the young girls couldbe charged with prostitution as well.

To me, it really isn't that surprising. Billy was correct with his "Methinks thou doest protest too much" line from Henry IV.

The sick thing, somewhere in some ward meeting a testimony is being given about how faithful these young Taliban are.

Burkas coming to you at your neighborhood gym. I need more of 71's good nature, as I feel like "F... You" is appropriate for those mormon Taliban.
