Porn to make you happy

ZOMG PR0N! Teens Hooked On Porn, BBC3, 9.00pm

There are those who might say that the current popularity of "shock docs", or whatever you want to call them, is a sign of television dumbing down. We'd probably disagree with that. In fact, we rather like the fact that there are shows with titles like the above, because within a nanosecond of reading that title we knew we wanted to watch this programme. Think how much time that saved us!

Judging by the level of activity taking place on the Fat Men Can't Hunt thread on the messageboard, we'd say that an attractive title such as this can do a programme the world of good. lowculture prefers not to reveal its age, but we feel that the existence of such a programme signals how times have changed since we were kids. There was no internet broadband pornography channel in those days, oh no. You had to get the train to London and ask the man in the dirty mac at the end of Old Compton Street for the password, and walk seven miles through an ill-lit corridor to pick up a black market copy of Night Of The Giving Head for the princely sum of £300, and you were glad of it. But we digress.

So: teenagers. Addicted to porn. On the internet, and possibly also through other methods. They just don't know how good they've got it, do they? Just they wait until the selection process starts for My 1970s Porn Life, where Endemol take away your broadband connection and force you to hunt for porn under the neighbour's mattresses, the way your dad used to have to.
