Ideal Bite

I am totally DISGUSTED by your tip on porn. Porn is degrading to women, children & all mankind. Porn leads to a breakdown in marriages, relationships and pedophilia. The internet is the very source of porn that needs to be shut down. Your "tongue & cheek" responses indicate your IGNORANCE to the harmfull & dangerous side effects of porn. Please remove me from your mailing list IMMEDIATELY!

the porn tip was funny and it started my day with a giggle. i'm glad this site is not uptight! Although it doesn't apply to me, I'm sure the tip was useful to "others" out there...

Going to skip the porn debate here. However, ever since its rebirth as a legitimate service, we have been purchasing songs from Napster. Good variety and just store them on our PC and several MP3 players. My wife and I used to buy a lot of movies as soon as they were released on DVD. Now we get our movies from a combination of Netflix, HBO and Pay-per-view. We watch the same amount of movies but its cheaper and doesn't result in a bunch of disks that are only used once or twice. For magazines, I have never been big on that and usually just read what they make available on their websites. The only periodical we get is the local newspaper as it is the only available source of local news.

i absolutely love reading and am thankful i raised 3 children who also love reading . after busy and hectic schedules all day it is a pleasure to relax in bed and read before going to sleep . i would never ever give that pleasure up of reading books and magazines in favor of reading those things on my computor . dont we use the computor enough every day in our lifes either at our jobs or for entertainment and bill paying, schooling without now giving up that most treasured time of relaxation of reading to relax before going to sleep at night ? i understand it saves trees yadda yadda but people need to not spend so many hours a day at a computor either . to promote that reading magazines and books on a computor is better for the earth and humans than going to the library and checking out a book or buying a magazine to read and enjoy is pure nonsense . i would not recommend this to anyone, especially kids . i think people spend too much leisure time on computors when they should be exercising more . computors are great but so is exercise to be more healthy .

Forget about the porn, for any reading material, music, DVDs etc., don't forget your public library.

i am DISGUSTED that so many of you would be offended by a little SEX that you are willing to DISREGARD the fact that changes in the porn industry and how it is distributed could probably make more impact on the environment than ANYTHING the rest of us do. whether you're against it or not, it's the biggest single industry in THE WORLD. even if YOU don't like the tip, forward it to your husband or his girlfriend, because they'll find it useful.

You might take "porn" lightly but for people who's loved ones are battling a terrible addiction from an industry that that makes billions a year off of the poor suckers with fetishes they can't control and are ruining their relationships and lives, it's not a light subject, nor funny. I won't be telling anyone else about ideal bite until you get some sensitivity and a clue about what you're talking about.

Ya know, with the "adult content" warning on today's tip, why did some of the squeamish bother to read? Folks just like to gripe. Keep the funny tips, um, er, um 'coming'?

i wasnt complaining about the porn tip ... i was complaining about having to read magazines and books on line rather then go to the library to check out a book or a store to buy .. i think we all spend enough time on the computor everyday without having to read novels on line sorry if everyone thought i was complaining about the ' porn ' comment .... i think we all could use more exercise rather then more time on the computor

Given that 94% of your readers are female (1), and that around 2% of women admit to viewing porn on a regular basis (2), I am shocked less by how inappropriate today's ideal-bite was, and more by how inappropriately targeted it was to your audience. Porn (not to mention sex itself) is a very emotional topic for some. It would serve you well to consider your audience.
