Multiply 365 Day 298 - Pornification

I remember the first time I had seen the cover of a spoof porn. I don't know if spoof porn is the proper phraseology to be used in this instance, but what I call spoof porn is a porn that is a take off of an existing body of work. My first encounter with the genre was seeing the conver of one such movie, “Edward Penishands”. As you can guess, the cover feature porn actors and actresses in a setting similar to the movie “Edward Scissorhands” but with the lead actor have something other than scissors for hands. I never bothered to watch the movie, maybe because I never cared for the original source material, maybe I was too embarrassed to watch, or maybe I was laughing too hard at the concept, I really can't recall. But the other night, the thoughts of “Edward Penishands” came dancing back into my head because of Halloween.

Now why would that happen you may ask? It is simple really if you think about it. Halloween has become a spoof porn of itself. What was once a holiday for kids where you would mix a dab spookiness with the collection of sugary treats, has been turned into just another reason for adults to go out scantily clad in hopes of getting fucked. Whereas children's costumes were at least an attempt at fooling their friends and neighbors into getting confectional delights, the current crop of costumes have nothing to do with an actual disguise and all about carnal delights. Does anyone really think someone is trying to be a polar bear when their costumes consists of a white fuzzy two piece bikini and a pair of pointed earmuffs? Of course not, because where a child's costume is designed to hide the wearer's true identity, the current crop of costumes adults wear are designed to not only not hide the wearer's identity, but to not hide anything at all.

You can already see the cover of the spoof porn box for the holiday, two women wearing some cheap sexified version of a real costumes ringing the doorbell of a house, their plastic pumpkins full of an assortment of condoms and the lord of the manner answering the door wearing nothing but an eye patch and a pirate hat. Trick or treat indeed.

  1. I think the polar bear bikini thing has a place though. I mean I have been in Barbie bikini contest at a club, not on Halloween btw. I also use to regularly wear a french maid outfit with fish nets, spike heels and on top my bra showing - as Magenta to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Most adults who wear costumes for Halloween are wearing them to a club or private party and with something like that there's a dress code. It is usually a meet and hook up thing. Unfortunately, single and dating is about sex. That's what the scene revolves around. I mean someone could go wearing a full polar bear outfit but that's the person who would go home alone.

  2. The thing is it's a kid's holiday that by and large adults have corrupted for their own nefarious purposes. Previously the adults role boiled down to stealing candy off of their kids when they went to sleep, now it is can I get a pair of eyes to look at my ass.

  3. Actually it is a tribal/pagan holiday that was stolen by kids. Originally it was a celebration of the dead and people dressed in masks and costumes, it was bonfires and parties. It was an all night festival. The brighter and rowdier the party the better. Then the Christians turned it into a night to hide in your house in fear because the dead walk among us and in the morning the Saints are honored, hence All Hallows Eve and November 1 is All Saints Day. For the record originally the 11 new moon after Yule (The Winter Equinox) was Sanhaim, the name of the pagan festival. Like everything else it was bastardized by the Romans, a fixed day was set and it became a greed based candy gorging holiday.

  5. I hate to tell you but that goes back to some of the early traditions. Most festivals contained sex rites, nude dancing, etc.

  6. Trust me, there were no pagans out there suggesting that they take back the holiday. What takes place now has nothing to do with tradition.

  7. Maybe I don't get it then. I usually dress in costume for halloween. If someone looks at my tits and ass I hope they appreciate the view. If they don't look their loss. Being single is a dance if you are looking you are going to look if not it wasn't intended for you anyway. Maybe its just that I'm not hung up on human bodies and human sexuality. Meanwhile this is my religion and my beliefs. So when I dress up and go out that is part of it.

  9. Hey, I am not saying that I don't find the costumes sexy, just that it is a little over the top for what is usually a kid's holiday is all.
