I was at a party this weekend. Once things settled down a bit, we watched Family Business on the hostess' Tivo. It's a reality show that, to quote the Showtime website, "focuses on the charismatic Adam Glasser and his alter ego, 'Seymore Butts,' who has created over 70 popular adult films."

I didn't know Seymour Butts was an actual name of a porn actor. Sort of juvenile, isn't it? The episodes I saw, one featured Adam trying his hand at internet dating. Both girls he dated, he waited until the first moments of their blind date to spring the whole "producer, director and sometimes performer in adult films" thing on them. Seems to me that is something they'd want to discuss before an actual date. Especially considering how awkward it made things after the bombshell. My favorite part, I don't remember what episode, was when Adam announced his plan to move from the cum shot in one scene, to another set across the house, in one uninterrupted take. I was yelling at the screen, "Say Hitchcock! Mention Rope!" but it didn't happen. Also of note in that episode was the strange use of backgammon as a springboard for hot oral action.

I was amazed by how scandalized I was by the show. I feel like such a hick.
