Public Porn

I just read an article in the Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/11/AR2009111127404.html?wpisrc=newsletter) about people watching porn in public places on their laptops and iphones and such. The article mentioned that it is so prevalent on subways, in airplanes, and in libraries! I have to ask you all if you have encountered that kind of thing and what you did? If you haven't encountered it, what do you think about it? Read the article if you want to see how some people handled it.

I don't know. Not that long ago, someone I used to work with sent me a link to a porno site and asked if I thought the girl in the pink teddy looked like me. I'm not a prude, but I was sooo put off by that. First, why would someone ask me to watch that? Second, are they getting off on the idea that I may be watching a porno video? And what did they expect me to say? Yeah, that's me, I used to do porn; yeah, that does look like me, so now you can think of me whenever you watch this; no, it doesn't look like me, and why are you thinking of me when you are watching porn? I told Tim about it and we agreed that I wouldn't even respond to that person's email or any subsequent emails. It is just inappropriate, so how much more inappropriate is it to watch that in a public place.
