Got the sniffles

Little Women and other literary adaptations

Today’s discussion of pornography vs. horror vs. tear-jerker made me think about the “fairness” of making one illegal, while Hollywood continues to churn out the others for the masses.  Honestly, it seems wrong to make porn illegal but to allow horror films and chick flicks, when,  essentially, they all accomplish the same thing in the end.  Relating that result to bodily fluids, however, strikes me as somewhat medieval, rather like an “old wives’ tale.”  That particular association between the three genres feels over-the-top, like the writer is pushing the limits/boundaries of societal acceptability.  In other words,  I see what she means, and I can vaguely agree with it, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it!
