“We get input from all over the world — Japan, Germany, Brazil

I can't be the only person to find the prospect of a tsunami of amateur German pornography an alarming prospect? Can I ?

At the risk of sounding serious, I was thinking about ancient history (no, not as in come up and see my murals). Something like 2/3 of all surviving ancient greek manuscripts (a tiny fragment of what once existed) are the Illiad or the Odessey. Why? Because they were so popular.

You can see where I am going with this. We all imagine that in a thousand years scholars will be studying writers like Joyce and Borges and thinkers like Popper to reconstruct our civilisation. Instead, all they will have to work from is Best of Vivid and Girls Gone Wild.

What a job, eh?
