Or addressing the ideas they actually made.

I'm getting the impression that there's somewhere else on the Internet where folks that just want to discuss Smashing Pumpkins stuff without being total loads go to communicate with one another.

And that's why everyone's here.
There's no way you've come back to the hate land after 17 years. You must be one of the regulars fucking around. What's your favorite color, purple?

I may be old fashioned, but I thought being on the cover of a porn mag, made one a pornstar.


edit: research shows that Playboy went "no nudes" for a short while in 2015, but the nudity has returned and it is once again pornography.

Am I right on this? I don't honestly know. Now that I'm here again - older memories are flooding back - and ... well, it was a different feeling than this. There seemed to be a comradery. An energy. Like, everyone's laughing and talking shit at the poker table type of deal. Still talking shit - but with one another - not at them.

Forget about me - I'm, for all intents and purposes, a stranger around these parts now. But, even in the responses of this thread, it feels more like people are talking to themselves than with one another. Again, forgetting me here. No one else is really talking to each other. Like, you would find ... in a forum board?

I dunno. That and people misquoting what somebody says - to then start piling on them about what they didn't say?

That's honest to God pretty pathetic.

This place, honest to God, is pretty depressing.
Every post is another flawed and condescending essay where you try to arrogantly explain your previously flawed essay...

All these flawed, arrogant, condescending, long, drawn out essays, I feel like I'm listening to Billy's Thirty Three podcast all over again.

One of my most nit-picky stick-in-the-mud things that bugs me but doesn't matter at all is about the casual use of the phrase "porn star" starting in the late 90s.

Like, if you are in a band, does that make you a rock star? NO.

Therefore doing a porn or appearing nude does not make you a porn star.

but if you're on the cover of spin magazine.... I'm gonna assume you're a rock star...

Here we are talking about the cover of play boy.



(no one called starberry a porn star for the topless picture)

that doesn't make someone a "PORN STAR" does it?

Well some of us majored in other subject. (pshaw... i raise my nose at your porn connaisseurs, how beneath me!!!).

maybe there's some sort of Jamaican dub version of porn we could learn about in an advanced class. Is billy inventing porn wrestling? like that's NEVER been done before - right?

Pornography has a long history dating back to the earliest forms of art on cave walls. However, its presence in popular culture and music was limited and confined to niche magazines and shops, with the exception of some countries like Jamaica, which had more liberal attitudes towards nudity and pornography. There were instances where pornography infiltrated popular culture, such as in the exploitation cinema of the 1970s and 1980s, but it remained a taboo topic for the majority of people until the early 2000s.

The turning point came in 1998 with the release of The Smashing Pumpkins' album "Adore." While the album was a critical, commercial, and artistic success, its impact on pornography was even more significant. A photograph in the album's booklet featuring the band's bass player, D'arcy Wretsky, wearing a transparent top, exposed the front of her body, marking a milestone in the acceptance and normalization of pornography in popular culture. Since then, naked bodies have become increasingly visible in popular culture, and pornography has firmly established itself as part of mainstream culture in the western world.

Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins later created the unlikely combination of Professional Wrestling and partial nudity, further cementing his legacy as a pornographic innovator and cultural trendsetter.

This thread is clearly leading to a BC nude leak, and I'm all for it.

Let's see that D.
