Grey’s Anatomy vs. Porn

An article by Brad    No Comments

I am sad to admit it, but I have sat through an episode or two or Grey’s Anatomy.  I’m loathed to admit it, actually, because no straight male should ever be subjected to such… trash.   Between this program, and the even worse Private Practice, we get a glimpse at some of the most ridiculous story lines ever.  I mean, the writers must scour every 3rd world nation for their absurd, and oftentimes disturbing, medical cases.  And then consult the daytime soaps for plots (if we can call them that) to connect it all into one giant unwatchable mess.  I used to think that ER was too formulaic, but it doesn’t come to close to ABC’s Thursday night lineup.  And soon, lucky us, the two ‘medical’ dramas will be joined at 8:00 by a new law program, The Deep End, which appears to follow the same formula:

Outlandish cases + attractive men and women + plot threads that have everyone sleeping with everyone else = something women will watch.

I wonder if my wife will tune in.  If so, i guess I lose her for the entirety of Thursday evening.  But I can use some good old video game and comic book time.

Now why bring any of this up?  Just to make this final point, I guess:

• I’ve seen better acting in ‘made for the web” pornography than in Grey’s
• I’ve seen better, more cohesive, plots in the same made for the web pornography
• I’ve seen more disturbing sex scenes on Gray’s Anatomy than in professional porn
• I’ve actually felt dirtier watching Gray’s Anatomy than pornography

So the question is, why do women get so uptight and offended when men watch porn while they are allowed to watch such crap with little or no embarrassment?

That’s it.  Just had to get my thoughts out.  Time to go watch some porn.
