Equal? No. Different. I can certainly imagine some of the more privilaged of
us on Lugnet who aren't after pieces, but after the collecting part of the
hobby (or some such) who might value movies above Brickbay sales. I don't
think you have the right to insinuate that Jason is any the less for what is
displayed on his site.

I'm sorry you feel that way-- personally I think porn CAN be quality, it
just *isn't* 99% of the time. And certainly the film in question isn't
quality IMHO. I found it needlessly obscene, boring, and mostly unhumorous.
But that's not to say that some other Lego porn flick couldn't be quality.
Again, I don't know what your definition of quality is, but it's clear that
either you're assuming too much or that your definition is askew from mine.

John. I think this was uncalled for. Please-- at least try and avoid direct
insults. They don't help your case. Personally they give me a much lower
opinion of you.

I agree to some extent. I'm not really sure what adult sites do other than
make you pay them to see their content, but I agree that there should be
some degree of dificulty to prevent children from easily accessing the
information in question.
