I'm going to go out on a limb here. I don't think anyone else but Brooklyn Lee deserved to win the 2012 AVN Award for Best New Starlet. There, I said it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of all of the performers who were nominated in this category. But the fact of the matter is, Brooklyn played a killer role in our Official Revenge of the Nerds Parody, scored us this sick ass photo of the original nerds loving her AND us, did this boss ass interview for our site and she's a wonderful performer and person. Having said that, I think it's pretty goddamn obvious why she won.

Let's face facts. We'd probably all be better off with Rick Santorum in the White House.

Lets end the charade. Porn isn't a good thing. Sure, we like to talk about it a whole lot and we look at it almost daily due to our chosen careers (and the fact that hormones are the darnedest things). Ultimately, however, do you think we really believe porn is something that benefits society other than making a few individuals who didn't have the wherewithal to do anything productive with their lives rich?

Each awards season I am amazed by the sheer volume of press releases we receive that proclaim a studios prowess in the adult industry based on the number of nominations they received from this awards show or that awards show. As a company who has, in the past, proudly proclaimed our own sexual potency based on these same nominations, it seems like this kind of grandstanding should ultimately die out once a company gets more in touch with the reality of the situation.

A few weeks ago we posted a couple articles wherein we tried to decide whether we would prefer to have sex with a selected adult performer or eat one of our favorite foods. To most people this would seem an absurd competition but as we are somewhat older gentlemen with control over our penises, choice is something we appreciate.

Sex is awesome, don't get us wrong, but have you ever had a fuckin' boss plate of Nachos?

If there's one thing I support in this world it's the concept that things seem to get better when they are wet.

As we've mentioned before, it's fun to come to work each day to be surprised by a photograph of a porn gal you've never heard of and think, Hmm, she's pretty! It's fun because, unlike the ordinary world, basing your likes and dislikes on something as shallow as appearance is AOK in the world of the adult industry. You see, while we try to be decent, equal opportunity folks around these parts, and we do believe that a woman can do anything a man can do (and probably better), we also like to take our "politically correct/decent human being" jacket off every once in awhile and simply admire and judge a woman based solely on her appearance.

So today we stumbled across Shyla Jameson.

As you might have noticed, we've recently discovered here at POPPORN.com that collectively, we are unlike your typical, average Joe. Perhaps it's because each of us here in the office are in our 30's, work in the porn industry and haven't been able to maintain a decent erection in over 3 years, but sex and boobs and butts and vaginas and buttholes just don't impress us anymore.

In fact, we've often asked ourselves if we'd rather have sex with a beautiful adult starlet or enjoy one of our most favorite foods only to discover that the food really had a fighting chance! This is shocking because most guys are boobs blind. Meaning, they'd pretty much do anything to have sex with anything.

Not us. Fuck that.

A healthy argument just happened here at the POPPORN offices.

Earlier today, Brian Bangs tweeted that, given the choice, he'd rather have sex with Dana DeArmond than eat a plate of nachos. I, being of sound and rational mind, felt that I needed to chime in. Honestly, what reasonable being of any walk of life would seriously choose sexual intercourse over a plate of Nachos? Are nachos not still the pinnacle of human achievement? Am I in the Twilight Zone here or something? Did I miss a memo or something? What the fuck has happened to people's sense of right and wrong?

Earlier today I mentioned on twitter that I might, given the proper persuasion, have sex with a bowl of potato salad. Shortly after I made that proclamation I saw a picture (a somewhat sexy picture mind you) of Vivid contract star, Capri Anderson.

Logically, I then asked myself this. If I had to choose, would I have sex with Capri Anderson or the bowl of potato salad? Good question!

In the world of pornography, it's pretty hard to reach a consensus. Everyone has their own favorite performers, series, directors, etc. Actually, scratch that. I seriously doubt anyone really cares about the directors. They tend to be failed musicians anyway.

But when it comes to performers? Whoa Nelly, that's when you have disagreements. Sure, folks may be able to agree that this gal has a sweet butt or that gal over there has a perfect smile. But ultimately, folks agree just to agree so they can stop talking about porn stars and just get home already to masturbate.

We tend to be the same way.

That is, until we came across Holly Michaels.

Well the heat has abated slightly here in Philadelphia. Don't worry, it's still 86 degrees in our office, but getting up from our desks today and heading outside does provide some relief so our brains are functioning (slightly) once again.

And while there's not a whole lot of porn related news out there worthy of our attention (sorry Cal/OSHA, Weiner, et al) we did find ourselves pondering a sexually oriented question yesterday while in a dehydrated, semi-conscious state.

To say that Sasha Grey is a bit of an enigma would be an understatement.

Not too long ago, my friends at POPPORN shot me over a link to a blog. In two posts, its webmaster, Lynsey G, contends that rough blow jobs, in all of its gag-filled and mucous-inducing oral copulation, are rooted in misogyny. You can check them both out here:

Cock Sucking in Queer Porn: What an Experience!

Look, I get it.

Some of you might have thought that Digital Playground was done revolutionizing the porn world back when they released Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge, which we all remember as the most groundbreaking piece of fuck cinema ever cinematographed. Heck, that was even more impressive than that R-Rated cut of Pirates I that got played in one or two theatres. Well, get ready, because they’re about to turn the adult world on their head once again.
