This is the best look at "porn in culture" that I've seen. I've read a few diferent posts about folks who are thinking of writing a thesis/paper on stripping/porn. This could serve as a resource for those folks and interesting reading for the rest of us. This will take a couple cups of coffee to get through as it's pretty detailed, but I found it worth it.

For those of you who don't know Alan Moore, he's pretty much considered the greatest graphic novel author ever. His best known book "Watchmen" is often the only example of 20th century heroic literature used in post grad literature courses that cover heroic literature as a topic.

He's a genious by all acounts, a great author, and quite a bit of a freak from what I have heard.
