When Joey and Chandler started getting free cable porn, the characters were of course ecstatic, but the writers used it to show that it was warping their view of inter-gender relationships through jokes. The character made jokes about a plumber coming by and it not leading to sex, and the pizza delivery girl actually only delivered pizza. In a roundabout way saying that pornography leads to unrealistic expectations and objectifies women. Of course that was only one episode, and it did treat the matter in a flippant manner. Anyone else think "Friends" helped normalize porn? It’s funny you bring that up because the show did deal with pornography in an interesting way.

That always saddened me. Kudos to him for making a difference now, though.

Ideas and words that are basically pornographic are circulated so freely -- among supposed "friends" on facebook. Is anyone thinking about standards of decency on the internet? We didn't go around publishing pornographic language in newspapers before the internet.

I look forward to making fun of it. “will be made into a feature film of the same name, which is slated for release in 2011.”
