i was visiting my grandma a few weeks ago and watched satellite tv for the first time in years. aside from the 80s serial reruns, $6.95 pay per view B-movies, infomercials and advertisements on the menu, what stood out was when i flipped through the porno section. at the top of the x-rated list was a feature titled "stepmommy made me eat her pussy." two spots above it was "paddington bear."
