Sex Time....

Today nearly eighty years after it's debut under the tutelage of Chiang Kai-shek mark Henry Luce, Time Magazine has finally discovered kinky sex and proclaimed with gubernatorial relish, it's "power to excite".
Boy back in the day, Time Magazine set the pace and adopted what a former co-worker and jew-baiter described as haughty little tone.
And what the hell it worked, Henry Luce put out one of the most blatantly biased pro-GOP rags ever seen, filled his news copy with snarky illiberal asides, and watched the money roll in.
At it's height, Time Magazine made heroes out of astronauts, sneered at Adlai Stevenson, and made anti communism the unofficial religion of the U.S.A.
Now look at them, whoring after the lad mag crowd with kinky sex articles written in that unreadable condescending timestyle.
Somethings never change even as Time Magazine goes hobbling after the youth demographic bleating "wait-waa-it...I got sexy pictures!!!"
The lead in the obligatory overview of modern porn includes a scene from a oh-so-trendy episode of "Friends"...."we may have to turn off the porn" sez Chandler-"Chandler may be on to something" smirks Time in reply.
I think there must be a secret Olympics sponsored by Time-Life-Fortune to find the worst and most patronizing writers in the nation. Once they have selected the absolute worst of the worst, Time clearly works the poor bastards to death turning their smart-aleck, cliche' ridden mentalities loose on God, Man, or Sex.
There is even a feature article on bondage with titillating references to pyrex dildos and floggers. All of this is akin to your old man both finding your porno stash and stealing it for his own use with no more payment than the promise not to tell your mother.
In a word "ugh"
Ghod and to think you don't have to go back too far into history to find Henry Luce's journalistic thralls sneering at homos and bashing beatnik sex maniacs.
What times we do live in....
