There’s a dude in the dining hall debating whether or not he should start watching Internet porn. Another dude warned him against it because he could get viruses, and encouraged him to buy magazines.
My two immediate thoughts:
When I’m in the privacy of my own home, scrolling because I’m bored:
When I’m in a class where people are behind me and can see what I’m looking at:
I get it. Jesus is great and I’m going to hell. Now, if you don’t mind, you’re making it hard to hear “Sympathy for the Devil” on my iPod, and I have to finish this blog post about Harry Potter so I can get home. I have a lot of porn to watch.
Love,
Dan
The movie was about internet pornography and the dangers it posed to the young people, only it’s a lifetime movie, so they couldn’t show or even imply the kind of thing you’d do whilst viewing pornography, just the porn-viewing. They used “drinking energy drinks” as a surrogate, so every time you’d expect him to start doing stuff, he breaks out a Red Bull and starts drinking it. At one point, his mom walks in on him and he’s sitting perfectly still at his computer desk with one hand on the mouse and the other on the desk. He’s really only looking at the pictures. He might strain his eyes on the computer screen, but there are really no other physical concerns here.
Of course, his porn addiction (which he develops after approximately two viewings) causes his grades to suffer (somehow) and he becomes a weaker swimmer (somehow) which ruins his Swim Team performance. He then goes after a girl who appears in pornographic images and loses his girlfriend, and his attraction to this girl gets him beat up. It’s the one portrayal of this kind of situation where one person says “It’s perfectly natural for a boy his age” (in this case, 16) and the movie is like “LOL Nope, look at all these terrible things that WILL happen to YOUR SON if he ever looks at a naked lady on the internet.”
Anyway, the point of this post is that the movie is called “Cyber Seduction: His Secret Life,” but my sister invariably remembers the name as being “Cyberjackers,” which I maintain is a better name for the film.
Not the totally batshit random stuff, that I’ve come to accept.
But I just discovered this: I typed in “Mila Kunis,” and it autocompleted to “Mila Kunis Forgetting Sarah Marshall.” When I deleted the L at the end, it brought up a whole new list, which included “Mila Kunis Forgetting Sarah Marshall photo.”
And I’m like “hypothetical dude searching google a while ago, you and I both know that you were looking for the naked picture of her. We all know that. There was no other photo of her in that movie. Google is NOT GOING TO JUDGE YOU. Just type in what you’re looking for, and as long as you remember to delete your history, no one will EVER KNOW you looked for it. The fact that your search did not explicitly say you were looking for a naked picture of Mila Kunis does not mean you came across it accidentally.”
