I don't know art, but I know pornography...



...And this, sir, is not pornography!

Man, all art is pornography. When are people going to realize that? Let me pull down my dictionary and look up the definition.

...

hmmm, "scaramouch," good word. I have write that down for later...

...

"Literature in which prostitutes figure."

What?
What does the prostituting of figure in literature have to do with pornography? And, if I am reading this wrong (which I may be), what does hookers doing math in fiction, or non-fiction have to do with what (I thought) porn was? Let me look up the word "Literature," or "figure."

...

I did not know "La" was a word.

...

"Belles-lettres"? How is that part of a definition for literarture, I now need a understanding of the french language to read an english dictionary? Next time I am asked a definition of a word, I better be prepared in a second language, I think.
I think I was thinking of some slang definition of, "Figure" as none of that which I was thinking relates to math, but is pretty on-spot with my prostituting of the figure idea as first assumed.
Art is pornography, to someone somewhere. Every piece of art is a prostitution of the original form as conceived by the artist and not as originally created or seen by others. The image has been subverted and being used as like a pimp does his "girls" for income.
I am a porn monger and have been my whole life, and I did not know it until today.
How about that?

(If I have a daughter, I am going to [potentially out of dozens of choices] name her, "Zoë Ophelia Chubb" [Z.O.C.], that should be fun. I can call her, "Zee-Oh" as a nickname.)
...
I know. "Literature in which prostitutes figure" but not all people in pornography are prostitutes. I thought maybe Catcher in the Rye was classed as pornography once, along with other "banned" books put forward for burning by small minded people. I think I have a suspicion that my "works" might be offensive to at least one person in the world, seeing as I have heard the question of "Did you have to sign something with the Devil, or do you do this all for him for free?" (Thanks, Mom.) or "You are one of those 'Liberals,' ain't you?" or "what drugs were you on when you made that?"
