    1. I’m glad it was released when it was. Now it would all be self censored.

      I remember hearing this for the first time at a showing of Avenue Q.
      I almost peed myself.

    5. While it’s funny, and funny because it’s true…it’s even more true that most people realize.

      When the Internet was starting out in the early 1990s, it was nearly impossible to get people to use their credit cards online. Most people didn’t trust the system. I mean, who would. We’re talking about people who lived lives without the Internet. Why would you give your credit card info over the net? The web had a massive trust problem. No norms, no visual cues, no guarantees. Typing a credit card number into a beige HTML form felt insane.

      Well, people who wanted porn didn’t care. Porn blew through that hesitation because it exploited two things at once: anonymity and urgency. People were willing to gamble. And once enough of them did (and nothing terrible happened most of the time) the taboo cracked. That did two huge things. First, it stress-tested online payments at scale. Porn sites became accidental beta testers for credit card processing, fraud detection, recurring billing, and chargebacks. Second, it normalized the act itself.
