Political Journalism: What Happened?

danthony — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 18:39:00 GMT

When it comes to politics, there is little we can do unless you get involved and become active in the process. Since running Sex.com most likely will not get me elected to office in some States (no need to name them, you know who you are), I would like to use my blog to make a comment on something I have seen regarding the upcoming election.

With the advent of the Internet and sites like Google and Wikipedia, we now have information – on virtually anything – at our fingertips by clicking a few keys on a keyboard. Granted, you have to have Internet access - - for this blog let’s assume if you are reading it you do.

What I don’t understand is how people in politics now flip flop on issues and/or their position on something…..and how they think they can get away with it over and over again. Don’t these people realize that what they say one day could be found on another day via a search on Google? Or do they just believe that people are lazy and stupid, and that we can’t connect the dots?

A friend of mine sent me a link of a video he said was both funny and disturbing at the same time. You can view the video in question here (copy link in a new browser window):

After watching this, the first thing that came to mind was how can anyone take Karl Rove seriously? Shouldn’t the media turn away next time he wants to make a statement? Why does the media even want to hear what this man has to say? Clearly, he is biased and will say anything to help his party win. After watching that video, next time I hear him speak I will see his mouth moving but the words I will hear are blah, blah, blah…..whatever.

It is things like this that make people not interested in voting, and to become disenfranchised with the system.

Thankfully, there are things you can do – like have sex with the one you love – to take your mind off of how sad politics can be sometimes.

Sex.com Radio… We Do It On Air

Have you ever had a chance to visit a radio studio? I have been spending some time in one lately, and it is amazing to watch how a show is produced... from the technology used, to the interaction of the radio hosts and guests, to editing the final product.

The reason for my visit to one is that the Sex.com Radio Show started production last week, and we have had the pleasure of being entertained by our great co-hosts, Jason Stuart and Ciara Parsons, as well as some funny and interesting guests. On the adult side, author and director Jamye Waxman opened up about her new book, Getting Off, A Woman’s Guide to Masturbation, in honor of National Masturbation Month. She candidly gave us some sex tips and a brief history lesson on the stigmas associated with self-loving. Jamye has a Masters in Sex Education and is a wealth of knowledge on subjects dealing with sexuality.

Our very own Holly Randall was excited to talk about her first column entry written exclusively for Sex.com. In addition to reading the eye-opening paragraph, she shared a bit about her childhood and how she came to be a second-generation photographer. Holly looked fabulous and even had co-host Jason Stuart flustered by the dichotomy of Holly’s pretty face and oh so dirty mouth.

Also, comedian and actress Wendy Kamenoff dished about her divorce and upcoming wedding, leaving out NO details of her private life between those two relationships, proving that woman can act just like men and are not above simply wanting to get laid. Wendy has appeared in numerous TV shows, such as The Sopranos, The Bernie Mac Show, and Curb Your Enthusiasm, to name just a few. After her segment, I had a whole new respect for the sliding door.

Tune into Sex.com Radio next week to see what that was all about—and how some of our hard work is starting to pay off. Every show will be available on XM Radio Channel 154 on Thursday nights at 4:00 PM PST / 7:00 PM EST.

Mainstream – Are You Kidding Me?

From the start, it has always been our vision to take Sex.com mainstream. And from the beginning, I have heard over and over again that there is no way we are going to be able to pull this off.

For all of the skeptics out there I have just one thing to say: “Are you kidding me?”

How can it not be mainstream?

Sex is everywhere. In the shows we watch on TV (ex. Nip/Tuck), to the music we listen to (ex. Kid Rock’s single “So Hott”), to the movies we watch (ex. the upcoming Sex and the City), and even to the games we play (ex. Grand Theft Auto).

It’s even among the videos we watch on one of the world’s most popular websites, YouTube. For those of you who might be shocked at this, someone sent me a link to the following video of Sarah Silverman singing her “Porn Song.” Now, there is certainly no one naked in it, but it sure is explicit in its own way.

Mind you, there are varying degrees of explicitness, but sex is sex. As an adult, it’s all a matter of taste and choice. Our site is going to give you the option to view a variety of things that are suited to your individual tastes and desires - - all in an adult environment. By the way, did I forget to mention that her video has been viewed over 1.3 MILLION times? (And it’s earned a four-star rating.)

Mainstream? Without a doubt.
