I guess they dont want to confuse people over chinas Space Subs.

 

[Pezzarinho17]

If I had more money than I knew what to do with, I would so launch an old submarine into an orbit around space (in as secret a fashion as possible...) Can you imagine the astronauts reaction? "How on Earth did that get there?" would probably be the first question!!! Tee hee hee, devious billionaires strike again!

Wait. I have been to that church several times and family members too.

Somehow I think somebody didn't get the memo on what 5-inch gun means.

Prince's heirs will need to undergo genetic testing to prove their relationship to him:

The story itself is not particularly funny, until you get to this part:

Among the claims dismissed in the 19-page ruling was one by Georgia resident Claire Boyd, who said she had been married to Prince but that her marriage records were kept secret by the US Central Intelligence Agency.

What do you expect, it's the Sun. If it had a US counterpart it'd be calling for John Oliver to be deported after he made "Drumpf" a thing.

Eagle steals hiker's cell phone

An old story now but I found it rather amusing.

In a splendid case of moral dissonance, porn actress Sasha Grey once went to a school in a rough area and read books to children.

How awful that someone takes their time to participate in a non-profit educational programme in a professional manner!

 

[FoolKiller]

She tries to go straight and be a legitimate mainstream actress, and those who didn't like her for being a porn star now don't like her for being charitable. Forgiveness is devine. Being a self-righteous douche is human.

I have followed her career very closely and where she is now is a place where she should be given some credit for making positive changes and getting out of adult entertainment.

I bet you have.

If she wanted to come read to my daughter I would let her.

....Crazy, wild theory: the eagle was actually hunting down rare Pokemons. Some of them look tasty, after all.

You mean, internet never forgets....

I don't give her any credit for getting out of adult entertainment. She gets credit for wanting to participate in charity, but she was doing a lot of good work as an adult actress. She was an innovator, though, and I think, to an extent, her innovation was done. Still, no reason why she should be getting credit for getting out of the business.

I think she left adult films to go into more mainstream films? It's sad that that's a choice that must be made. If she wants to go both ways, why should we complain?

Unfortunately, history never forgets....

...and that's a great thing because she's done a lot of great work. Forgetting her contribution to her field would be like forgetting Peyton Manning after he retired.

And the self-righteous never forgive.

If she wanted to come read to my daughter I would let her.

Me too! And I'd get an autograph. There's nothing to forgive though.

Well, I guess we differ, I don't have any problem with seeing adult entertainment so I disagree with the negative tone of your post. What's to forget/remember? Almost everybody is gettin' it on somewhere, somehow.

 

[FoolKiller]

I don't disagree with anything you said, but I was referring to the family values conservatives who would hold her adult career against her.

If this were a drug addict who went to jail, then converted to Christianity in prison, and became a preacher they'd be praising her. I've seen it in person. "He knows what it's like to come back from a sinful life to find Christ and spread his word." Here, they don't see someone who walked away from a sinful life and is helping others. They see a harlot that deserves to be outcast.

As for having to choose between adult or mainstream, do one type of thing long enough and you get typecast. A few mainstream actors and actresses have one or two adult roles in their career, but it wasn't long lasting.

I'm sorry if people got the wrong of the stick somehow with my post, I have absolutely no objection with her charity work, or going into schools to help with childhood literacy; I think it's a very worthy cause.

My comment was purely a remark on the fact that in today's society and the all-seeing eye of the internet, there is no getting away from your history.
