I find the blaming of porn stars for Sheen's HIV status to be misogynistic and moralistic

90. Okay.. Do you know who "Pewdiepie" is? (Not a porn star). I'm guessing you don't.

That's probably one of the most famous people on the planet right now. A media empire pulling in millions a year. But if you were born any time before the last couple years of the last century, you probably have no idea, also no idea that many of the world's most-viewed media personalities are teenagers who play videogames like minecraft on youtube for other kids and teenagers to watch.

I'm talking about viewership in the tens of millions, an audience the major networks would love to have.

When Paul McCartney came on stage for the Video Music Awards last year, 70% of the audience had no idea who that old british dude was.

Short answer, yes, there is such a thing as a porn star.

Long answer, I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings (I seem to be foreced to point this out on DU a lot these days, particularly since so many people here think they're experiencing the 1972 election all over again) but we are holdovers, living on a planet that belongs to the 21st century and those born in it.

Walking Antiques, in the words of Bob Dylan, another name from the misty, distant past.
