OJ Simpson Takes Great Pictures

Here's a side by side comparison of OJ Simpson's mug shot from 1994 after being booked on double homicide charges (left), and his mug shot from 2007 after being booked on multiple felony robbery charges (right). Can you believe he's already 60-years-old? Looking at him I would've guessed 58, maybe even 57.
OJ Simpson was arrested Sunday for the incident last week where he allegedly broke into the Palace Station casino and stole some memorabilia at gunpoint. He was charged with two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, and conspiracy to commit a crime and burglary with a firearm, and is currently being held without bail. The Associated Press reports:
The district attorney said he expected Simpson to ultimately be charged with seven felonies and one gross misdemeanor. If convicted of the booking charges, Simpson would face up to 30 years in state prison on each robbery count alone.
How sad would it be if OJ Simpson got away with murdering two people, but ended up getting life in prison because of some silly hijinks over sports memorabilia? It'd be like Hitler getting away with the Holocaust and then getting busted for running a red light. And, you know, if the punishment for running a red was life in prison. Which it is. I went to law school so I'd know. Yale, in case you're wondering. And Harvard.
Porn Niche Grab Bag: Vintage

When we think of porn in motion pictures, we generally think of movies made in the past thirty years. For many of us younger folks, (I’m 29 years old for example) many of us have never seen anything made before the early to mid 1980’s when the porn industry began to explode thanks to home video formats like VHS videocassettes. If you have seen anything made prior to those years, they’re usually movies more associated with the Classic genre such as ‘Debbie Does Dallas’, Deep Throat, or ‘The Devil in Miss Jones’.
However, there is quite a lot out there that was made even prior to those classics. These are movies we like to call Vintage porn. These flicks tend to be hard to find, but they are out there. You aren’t likely to find them on the shelves of your local video store because the demand isn’t as high. As best as I can tell, the best place to find them is through internet Video on Demand sites.
Of course, prior to the golden age of porn (The mid 70’s), as it is often times called, porn was made a bit differently. You sometimes saw short plots, but what you’ll usually find are very short scenes that use dubbed music rather than live audio. The reason this is the case is that most of these were shot with the consumer level film cameras available at the time. Since film cameras did not record audio and a separate (and very expensive) unit was needed to record sound (later synched with the video), using music was a better option for porn makers of the past. Also, the film itself was extremely expensive and came on very short reels. As a result, sex scenes would often run no more than a few minutes - a far cry from scenes today that can often run up to 30 minutes.
The other thing you’ll notice on many of these films is poor quality. As mentioned above, most of these short films (now usually combined in to compilations of several scenes in one movie) were filmed using amateur equipment. Couple this with the fact that the film was often mishandled, stored improperly, and generally neglected for years and it’s extremely rare to find scenes of the sort that have survived the years in good condition. Of course, this adds to the charm a bit and gives everything a kind of organic, whimsical feel, which is kind of nice.
Another point that stands out in these Vintage porn films is that the people are, indeed, real. You’re simply not gonna find any augmented breasts or otherwise cosmetically enhanced body parts. Of course, aside from those who are into the whole hairy fetish, most might be a little turned off by all of the body hair you’ll see in these movies. These were all made well before even sex performers started trimming or shaving down their bits and pieces, so you do tend to find some veritable forests ‘twixt the legs (and other places) of the actors. It’s not my taste, admittedly, but it’s kind of a small price to pay in my eyes. After all, it’s actually interesting in my eyes compared to the perpetual stream of unimaginative garbage you’ll see on today’s market.
