Random thoughts, relating to politics and porn.

Porn, first: Canada needs a decent hardcore pornographic magazine. Really, the whole American Split Run thing has always got in my craw (and when we have guileless mooks like the crew at Realms representing' the ol' CA, it upsets me), and to see Hustler & Penthouse slapping a maple leaf on their cover, or an issue of Variations with a note saying "Special Canadian Issue" with NO ACTUAL CANADIAN CONTENT annoys.

The closest thing we get are a couple low wattage 'lads' mags (UMM and Razor, I'm looking at you while holding my nose shut!)

So, yes. Porn. How hard can it be? I have two ideas for titles: Chinook (a warmth coming from the north) or Beaver (because I have no sense of class or subtlety). Of course, hearing today that Bob Guccionne is stepping down as Penhouse CEO, or that Larry Flynt said "prihhhnt is dayud" or that Hef's woody needed corticle stimulators to get going.

I ignore such preposterousness.

In other ideas, Snra. Bitter and her co-workers have come to the conclusion that, since there's NO ONE running for politics in the 'ol Saug, I should go for it. So, four years of political activisim, a few lawn signs, and I'm in. How hard can it be?

God, this rocks.

Sadly, there is already a Canadian magazine called The Beaver. Although, it's about history, so it's likely got a circulation of perhaps 12 people, other than libraries and museums and universities, so... (http://bestprice.genuinecanadian.ca/detail.epl?id=53)

I must be one of those 12 people. It's a fascinating magazine, even if it's title is rude.

But would it be improved by the addition of porn?

Yes! Really, porn improves everything. :)

So, the solution to all of the above, clearly, is to take over editorial control of the magazine, and gradually introduce such things as a fiction series called "The Secret Diary of Laura Secord", a regular pioneer column (a la Sasha in eyeWeekly) entitled "Ask Susanna Moodie", a photo spread featuring some former Degrassi star, and a 12-page comic (if you know what I mean) based on the adventures of Anne Shirley and her "bosom pal" Diana Barry.

Now, who wouldn't buy that?

Clearly the thing to do is run on a 'Mississauga - the craddle of the new Canadian porn' platform.

You could have lawn signs that saw 'Stand up and get naked with Mohareb!' or something...

Frankly, having such a visible and soundbite friendly platform would probably give you a big boost...

I'll move

Porn. How hard can it be?

Did you really say that?
