Am I the only person on the planet who’s never seen The Office (UK or US versions), and has absolutely no interest in watching it?  Apparently, I am.

Am I the only one sick of all these debates?

So, did you watch HBO’s new series Tell Me You Love Me?  You know, the series that features full-on male nudity?  Well, I did and I thought it was an OK series, nothing spectacular.  Granted, I don’t usually see so many penises and balls outside of the locker room and porn, but it just wasn’t all that.  Sure, watching one man get a hand-job from his wife along with the inevitable orgasm was, to say the least, shocking I really didn’t think the sex was anything outrageous.

Well, unbeknownst to me penises are popping up all over the place in film and television.  The New York Observer has an interesting article about the whole issue.  The writer brings up an interesting point about how we seem to have no problem completely exposing women on the screen, but to dare show a penis will often get a film an NC-17 rating.  Why?  Why is the penis so much more offensive than a vagina?  What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.  Of course, sitting in a theater and seeing some guy’s penis flash across the screen is not my idea of fun, but neither is some of the overly graphic female nudity I’ve seen.  If a good film features nudity of both sexes, it doesn’t really matter to me.  Guys just need to get over it.  Turn up the heat, grin, and bear it.  Besides, with computer technology these days even the tiniest pee-pee can be improved.

After 19 years Wal-Mart is changing the store’s slogan from “Always Low Prices” to “Save Money. Live Better.” I’ll give Wal-Mart credit for trying to push the idea their low prices help low income families in this nation put food on the table and clothes on their backs.  The commercial will showcase families on vacations and a father/son out looking at cars because Wal-Mart helps families save an average of $2,500 a year.  The hypocritical part of that is Wal-Mart pays its own employees such crappy wages without benefits that I doubt very few of them can take time off for a vacation let along go somewhere.  Too bad Wal-Mart’s own employees can’t live the dream they’re employer is cashing in on.
