...with the Advanced Sexual Techniques tape. Even if I hadn't known that my mother had seen this barely veiled porn tape, I would have been grossed out. The idea of showing average-looking people having real sex sounds admirable until you actually see bald, fat people from the '80s going at it like quaaluded marsupials in bad lighting.

Bette Midler once made a joke about Bruce Springsteen in his 80s buff phase: ?Nice body, Bruce. Where?d you buy it?? Same goes for many of the Playmates of the past 20 years. The 50th Anniversary Playmate, Colleen Shannon, is a Pamela Anderson clone, a pneumatic cartoon drawn by Alberto Vargas or Frank Frazetta - a sex-toy doll inflated to Macy...
