A phrase about the 'tacit approval of pie fucking' is part of the Wal-Mart oath they make you take when you get your blue apron.

Nah, if they were in cahoots with Wal-Mart then they would have a big wally world logo at the bottom and the site would be technicalvirgin.walmart.com

-EDIT-
I just dug into that site a little deeper. This is from their pledge:
"I believe that sharing orgasms with others, via manual, oral, and anal sex between consenting partners, whether of my same sex or the opposite sex (providing proper safety techniques are utilized) is a moral and desirable activity for myself and my peers."

You should also check out the FAQs which seem to deal with mostly butt fucking. Hrm. They never do mention fucking a pie though. Further proof that they're not as suave as Wal-Mart.

You have a point, Adam.

Maybe the Wal-Martians are in some kind of cahoots with the nice folks at Technical Virgin.

Naw, that would serve both their purposes better. Sorry, never mind.

Well, if you're fucking a pie then you aren't pro-creating any thing, so it's a safe sex promotion scheme.

I'm guessing Wal-Mart opted not to carry CDs labeled 'explicit' as a PR move. They are The Store of Middle America, how easy this move was to woo the flyover states. Labeling CDs was a controversial story and covered a lot in the news. Wal-Mart just jumped on the right wing bandwagon.

But everybody loves pie fucking. So the movies stay!

Oh, bah - now the topic is invading my head.

One imagines that there's also a much lower opportunity cost for creating and propagating music. All one really has to do, once they've learned how, is pick up an instrument and perhaps sing. (Simplifying the argument here. Sue me.)

And yes, music can be just as subversive as film or the stage.

For this respondent, music is much more a brainworm than moving pictures of any sort.

I think it has something to do with the implications the music one listens to has on that person's perception by other people. A person's music tastes seems to matter a lot more than a person's movie preference these days. For instance, there is a big difference in owning the movie 8 Mile and owning an eminem cd. So music is put under intense scrutiny, while cinema is left alone.

Just a thought.

Better to ask, I think, why the President is plotting freedom for Iraq (ha! that ain't the only thing) while two buildings over John Ashcroft sits in his office.

When I think to pass through fire and brimstone IRT my own actions, there is plenty enough hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty to keep me busy, that I don't worry about anyone else's, I just try to bear it and keep on doing the right thing.

Reminds me distantly of a joke an ex-roommate of mine used to tell:

"Is it ignorance or apathy?

"Who knows? Who cares?"
