I have a parade of ugly, violent images stuck in my head. They are tormenting me. Next time I hope to be wiser and just turn the damn teevee off. Still I saw it and I infected myself.
What was ABC thinking? And why would Diane Sawyer attach herself to such a project? Frankly I am stunned.
Last Friday night Prime Time did a special on pornography in America. Their idea was to show how large corporations are profiting from it. I am not sure that part worked. Instead it seemed to be a thinly veiled porn piece to bring in high ratings to ABC.
What followed was a piece on a young girl as she descends farther and farther into bizarre sex acts…one was a session with 14 men, others were so violent I almost puked. The sickest image wasn't even an actual sex thing, it was when some anonymous/off-screen man shoves his entire fist inside the woman's mouth then he pulls like he is trying to tear her cheek apart. Disgusting!
The girl with a black bob stated that she could get $1400 for double insertion, $1600 for double insertion anal. Why not just rip the girl apart? Let’s show her dead. How do you live with something like this, the next day when the drugs have worn off, and the sun is shining?
Now I am hardly a prude, nor am I a religious fanatic, but this program was an outrage. First it was shown here at 9 p.m. when older kids (8 to 12 year olds) would be awake. That is simply wrong. This program shouldn’t have aired before 10, better after midnight.
I heard about things I didn’t even know about and I am well over 21.
Did ABC offer this woman any help? I certainly hope so.
Older men, scraggy horndogs, should leave 18 year old girls alone. They are not ripe yet. The porn industry should not be allowed to prey on them. Minimum age 21, at least!
Images as violent as these were present an endangerment for women. If men come to think that this kind of sex is normal. We are all in peril.
Truth be told, viewing this has almost turned me completely off sex. I wish I could wash the images out of my brain.
I am all about freedom, but there is another factor that must go hand-in-hand with dissemination of information. It is called appropriateness. ABC blew it big time.

The 30th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade is up for discussion once again.
When will the government stay out from between women’s legs? Let me once again state the simple truth: Rich women will always have abortion as an option. Poor women and young girls will not. So bring out the wire coat hangers and let them die in filthy backrooms. Women will not give up abortion. So if you vote against it, you will bring death to lots of women. Can you live with that?

I wish I had something clever and happy to say. I don’t. I am sick to my stomach.
