Superman 'Too Big' for the Big Screen
Evilelf writes "The new Superman is giving movie bosses a headache - because of the size of
his bulge. They fear Brandon Routh's profile in the superhero's skintight costume
could be distracting, reports the Sun. Hollywood executives have ordered the
makers of Superman Returns to cover it up with digital effects."
This is totally untrue. The actually designed the suit with that in mind, and added padding to deal with it.

Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex
Here is a link to a pic.
Actually, snigger is a real word, and used correctly.
From: "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex", by Larry Niven:
"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?" - Patrick Henry
Not sure where you're quoting from, but Larry Niven does the same idea much better here.
Women on the other hand do look down there. Even if they deny it, it has been shown to be true during research where the movement of the eye was followed and they definitly do a quick check down there when they meet a man.
Oh and as for the whole size matters. This is what one woman told me. When she masturbates she frequently doesn't even penetrate and when she does she uses at most 2 fingers.
Now if your penis is no bigger then a woman's finger THEN you got a problem. For the rest, it is skill and the most important piece of knowledge? If you penis might be a bit small, you still got 10 fingers and a tongue. Some women even seem to like this whole foreplay thing.
Check if you can the most popular masturbation aids for women. A very good seller is always the egg/butterfly devices wich do not even do penetration. They just are smooth rounded objects that vibrate and are used on the outside. The huge 15inch black rubber slongs? Not for solo use. Women on their own seem to prefer simple small designs, the outlandish stuff is usually bought by males (possibly for their girls).
Think of it like this, if women enjoyed being stretched to the max they would look forward to their pap smear exam.
How do I know this? Well I worked in a side branch of the porn industry, maintaining those pay porn sites you all know and love. I also dealt with a local guy who owns several establishements in the amsterdam red light district. He makes a lot of money NOT from grubby old men but from females (often tourists) who come to buy a little helper.

I'll agree with all the rest, but there is an automatic solution to the 'super-fetus' part of the problem: The kid needs yellow sunlight, in fairly large amounts, to power up the first time. He's not going to get that inside a woman's uterus. Even if she decided to go nudist in the Sahara, the human body is not transparent to visible wavelengths. As it is a yellow sun needed for the superpowers, we can assume the relevant wavelengths are probably in the high visible range. (Blue, violet, maybe even ultraviolet.)
The kid wouldn't be any stronger than any other baby, until it was born. I just pity their babysitter...
'Sensible' is a curse word.
Mods I know this is of topic so mod away, just wanted to answer this guy Porn sites advertise there. Now there is a nasty bit about the world of economics that works like this. Banks are perfectly happy to TAKE money from the porn industry but will never ever lend it. You must be very discreet about even being a porn company to be allowed to open an account and them to hold your money.
Porn does not have huge stock market launches. The money invested is either your own savings or belongs to the kind of people who do not believe in loss leaders. No I am not going to say mafia but lets just say that you could at times be fooled.
So the porn industry is about making money and it is about making money now. A tactic like MS launch of the x-box with subsidie and making a loss on it simply CANNOT be done. So if porn companies pay to advertise on a site dedicated to free content you can bet they are certain to still somehow make a profit even from piracy.
Piracy has however three sorts. The commercial piracy were content is stolen and resold as if it was their own (very big problem) and "free" piracy were someone shares the content they BOUGHT (very important) for free. There is also a mix (like "free" sites like empornium wich make money from ads they can only sell because they are giving away others peoples content for free). So 3 types of piracy not looking good so far eh?
Luckily we have a couple of factors in our advantage compared to other industries having to deal with (non-commerical) piracy. Our production costs are a tiny fraction of the costs of producing even the lowest forms of "normal" entertainment. In hollywood $20 million is apparently considered a low budget. You could make the porn movie of all porn movies with that kind of money.
There is also an insatiable demand for "new" content. I say new in quotes because it doesn't have to be new as in hollywood new. You can have the exact same scene and just film it with different actors/actrices and make a line of sequels that make Rocky look fresh and exciting. And the customers will lap them up and demand MORE. No need for trilling plotlines or brilliant special effects. Doggy style NEVER gets old. Just look at how many porn titles have something like vol 24 behind them.
While there are some star with staying power who can be in the industry for years a very large segment is dependant on customers always wanting something new. The girls who are not clearly suckered into it in general go from being models to nude models to girl-girl to boy-girl and usually from photos to video. And then they disappear. "Fans" will eagerly demand their favorite does X next and then when she has done it all she will be quickly forgotten for the next fresh thing. Some erotic stars of old new this very well and NEVER went beyond a certain level ALWAYS leaving their fans wanting more and being able to last years were some last barely a few movies.
The low production cost and constant demand for more is important because there is a huge supply and products just don't last long. While there is a market for classics it is but a tiny portion.
So how can you still make money when everything you produce is also available for free? Well first reason is simple, the majority of customer do not realize it is free or have used kazaa. Now searching for porn on kazaa delivers you A virusses B worms C sickening stuff D not what you want. So a large group just doesn't think porn can be gotten free (just google for free porn to see what I mean). Even that group that does know (the visitors of the sites you mention) sometimes just want their fix NOW. Not when someone else has posted it. Rememeber ALL the content hosted has been bought by someone. Remember also that production costs are low? We do not need 100 million people to pay for our content like hollywood does to make a profit. Also remember that most paid content is insanely expensive. Most video stores sell porn dvd's for a far higher price then blockbuster hollywood releases. Pay
