Thus the click-bait headline. "Electronic-Detecting Dog" would get a pitiable number of clicks in comparison. In a sense, the companies with ads on the story page benefited from porn, or at least the idea of it. After all, the internet is for porn.

I did my every five minutes search for the word "porn" in the forum software and was very disappointed once I got here.

I was more upset he was stealing RatBastard's shtick in playing that role.

Nope. Just the shoe police.

that's crazy…Her lawyers are insane, but laughing all the way to the bank
as there is absoulutely no way that has any merit
I do love this line
Because when you?re shopping for the perfect toy for that hard-to-please child, ?Does it bear a resemblance to a daytime Fox News co-host?? is the first question that pops into your head.

I'm not clear why they named the toy the same name as her. She arguably has something there. The "resemblance" part is total wtf.

I think someone in the r/d dept said
Fav actor - Ed Harris (or fav controversial neuroscientist & philosopher Sam harris)
Fav Author - William Faulkner
why on earth would they even think that a toy would want the name of a fox news host?
I mean is Harris Faulkner her real name or is it a stage name anyway
apparently her dad is Her father Ret. Lt. Col. Bob Harris???
so her last name became her first name?
