"Berlin Shows There's No Business Like Porn Business"Mon Feb 14, 2005 09:21 AM ET
By Erik KirschbaumBERLIN (Reuters) - Pornography has been elevated to an art form as never before at the Berlin Film Festival, which has spotlighted the industry and its commercial success.
Pete's Points:
Oddly enough, this is NOT news! Anyone with a little familiarity with history will recall that during the period of the Weimar Republic in between the two World Wars, Berlin was the epicentre of pornography and sexual deviation practised on a scale that up to that time had not been reported before.
People from all over the world flocked to that city to participate in its gay abandon (and this was before the word 'gay' obtained its current connotation).
We will not even begin to mention that stories that have come to us from the wild days of the Roman Empire or from the Moghul and Japanese histories in which pornography really reached an art form.
