I find the probability of seeing this in metro Atlanta is very low, but I have seen similar below the gnat line, at a gas station outside Americus.
I think the target market for these DVDs are truckers, since they often drive through remote areas and thus cannot always get porn off the web.
I was kidding. It was a faux defense of my home state. Though I’ve never seen anything quite like this in any of the dozens of roadside stores I’ve visited here, I’m sure you can find something like it in almost any state – certainly including Georgia.
I’m just surprised BoingBoing didn’t applaud this fellow for his maker initiative!
Before looking closely, I thought the orange stood for Trump porn.
Even large chain bookstores carried some smut like that - Grove Press had a SHIT-TON of books by “Anonymous” from the Victorian era, with titles such as “Birch in the Boudoir”, “School for Scandal”, “HOLY SHIT WILL YOU GET A LOAD OF THAT ASS IN THOSE KNICKERS”, and also just a bunch that were the name of the main character for each specific book, all shelved in the “Literature” section. Because if it’s old, then it’s “Literature”, not “Fiction”, right?
They were all very, VERY interested in spanking and caning. If you like corporal punishment fetish stuff, you’d dig this. Needless to say with all that, this was a genre that was pretty much based around a lack of consent. The books were definitely more explicit than the “historical fiction but not romance” novels that were essentially excuses for almost-softcore set in exotic locations, and even moreso than the Anne Rice “Spanking Sleeping Beauty” series. (The “Sleeping Beauty” ones were often the “Eye of Argon” equivalent for the store I worked at.)
I honestly don’t know how many of those were legitimately from Victorian writings and how many were Rotsler-wannabes who were writing in the same vein - some of the books have actual historical info about themselves. (“The Pearl” was noteworthy in that regard, and it was big enough that Alan Moore cribbed a gag from it for “League of Extraordinary Gentlemen”.) I’d like to THINK that Grove Press was more upstanding and that they genuinely had a bunch of Victorian porn, but I do kind of wonder still.
It’s a running topic in the letters column in “Sex Criminals”, too.
