The Dildo Song.
Thanks to Cinema Minima for the tip about this very amusing parody of 50s toy ads, but for adults. It's a very catchy schlong, er, song.
Thank, or blame, filmmakers Robert D. Brooks, Alastair Anderson and Koralee Nickarz. Enjoy!

"Pin-Up or Shut Up."
"SuicideGirls is the Wal-Mart of alt-porn," Molly Crabapple - who has posed twice for the site - tells José Ralat Maldonado in a cover story for the New York Press. The gist: "The bloom, it seems, is off the rose." Also in the NYP: "I've been talking to Savanna [Samson] about The New Devil in Miss Jones for about two years now - it may set the record for post- production in porn," writes JR Taylor. He also gets a word or two with director Paul Thomas, "the John Cassavetes of porn." Meanwhile, the LA Weekly has a tip on the Tiki, an old school porn theater in L.A. that is undeniably a dive: "But that's the point: Go here if you want to face the realities of sex again, where sexuality is discomfiting and not made up of a notion in which an individual's desires are as clean or right-page-aligned with yours."

Some interesting recent articles caught our eyes, including this one in the 9/7 San Francisco Chronicle:
"SuicideGirls just want to have fun. And celebrate their individuality":
"Launched four years ago as a meeting place for punk "girls" in their 20s and 30s with tattoos and piercings, SuicideGirls.com has become a large feminist subculture meant to counter the big-boobs-no-brain standard of beauty -- all by posting nude Goth girls online. Some join for the sex between members, others for the online journals. Almost all SuicideGirls define the site's purpose differently -- as an activist platform, a porn site, a networking space -- agreeing only that it has huge party potential. Each model -- there are now 752, with a new one added daily -- adopts the last name "Suicide" as a member of the site's extended alterna-fem family."
And from The New York Press:
POORN: The crusty underbelly of the fetish world.
Also of note:
An earlier San Francisco Chronicle piece: "Hot, steamy and now downloadable: Aural sex shimmies into the podcast as 'podnography' trend takes off"
And from way back when, this New York Times piece on Burning Angel and its proprietor Joanna Angel: "Wearing Nothing but Attitude"
