Sporn
» Internet
Sporn will be with us forever and I don’t see any harm in that.
These naughty — some would say obscene — creations have spawned an Internet meme, nicknamed “Sporn” — short for “Spore” porn.
For EA [Electronic Arts], the developer of “Spore,” it’s the downside to tapping into the booming user-generated content arena, which has made sites like YouTube, Flickr, MySpace, Facebook and Second Life so popular. These games and sites often allow people to create and host their own content in addition to creating cartoon personas, called avatars, for themselves.

Some aren’t shocked:
Honestly, I would call these people perverts. But you know what? What’s so bad about that? I think by definition, if most of us stopped being so restrictive of ourselves and others and just were, we’d all be defined as perverts under the current perception of what a pervert is. I say, let’s have fun with sex and stop being afraid of some freaking digital penises.
Others ask questions:
Why spend twenty hours making an anatomically correct human when you can knock up a cock monster in half an hour?

Nothing for me, what about you?
