Middle-Aged, Suburban White Man Porn

Here’s the trailer for Freakonomics the documentary based on the bestseller from Stephen Dubner and Steven Levitt (full disclosure: I’ve read Freakonomics and Super Freakonomics. I’m also white. I do not, however, drive a mini-van.) I’m not entirely sure how you make this documentary, other than to interview Dubner and Levitt and splice it with B-roll and a few interviews, which is exactly what the trailer looks like.

No matter. The book was chock full of fascinating information; now it’s just packaged into a different medium, and directed by a lot of big-names in documentary, like Alex Gibney, Morgan Spurlock, and Seth Gordon. It debuts on VOD in the first week of September, and will be released theatrically in October. Or you can just read the book. Or pick up the sequel, where you can find out what the average price is for a handjob from a Chicago prostitute (I believe it’s $24, while intercourse is something like $85. It’s an extra $10 for the anal. Like I said: Fascinating stuff).

$24?! Sheesh! I can only hope that price includes ball fondling and a free Wet-Nap.

$24 for a handy? Is it done in a movie theater and include the cost of two matinee tickets and a box of Goobers?

Male Perspective (I'm pretty sure Tracer and KBalls are men: $24 for a handjob? Outrageous!

Female Perspective (or mine anyway): Seriously? It only costs an extra $10 for the additional entrance? That hardly seems fair.

That's why, in this economy, you should only get your handjobs from big girls. Cause they're free and all that extra butter from the popcorn makes things slippery.

Damn, I've never sought the help of a pro but the prices here are not unreasonable. Maybe I should change my gameplan. An extra 10 for the back door seems like a screamin' deal.

To anyone with more experience, do you get a get looking woman of the night for these rates or a methed out crack whore?

Given that it's the average price, Porkchop, I'm going to guess that you'll get a Hilton.

My right hand just billed me $87,057,404.

Sounds like the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at August 13, 2010 10:22 AM

That's it. Only $87,057,404. Are you on the 1, 2, or three year plan. Must be a newlywed. I just deposit $100,000 a year in the right's account and a $10,000 retainer for the left for when I want to feel like I'm back in high school.

Ah, there's Spambot. I feel better now.

Actually $24 isn't that bad. I live in Nevada where it's legal in small enough towns. I may or may not have stumbled into a house of ill repute when I was younger and I believe it was a $100 minimum.

$24 to jerk off a total stranger really doesn't sound like a lot to me (obviously, if you're used to going at it yourself for free, it might be). And an extra $10 for anal REALLY doesn't sound like a lot. The recession must have hit the sex industry pretty hard. So to speak.

I once had the pleasure of working with someone who very clearly explained to me how it was cheaper for him to go to a prostitute rather than get a girlfriend. I'm not sure I agree with him but I can't argue that he's wrong. The conversation went as follows:

Him: Is there a roach coach or restaurant around here to get something to eat for break?
Me: Haven't seen a roach coach around but I hear there used to be one with some hotties that supposedly turned tricks on the side?
Him: Reeealllly!! Make sure you tell me if you see em. Those are my kinda girls. I don't even bother with dates.
Me: I don't think they're here anymore. But let me here why you don't go on dates?
Him: So you and I make about 30-35 dollars an hour as electricians, right? I figure that's my personal time rate also, okay. So to go on a date takes about 1 hour of preparation, 2-3 hours of pretending I'm listening and care about what she's blabbing about, and then you don't even know if you're gonna get laid, much less get some kinky stuff. Total cost is minimum 3 hours labor + 1 dinner + maybe get laid= 105+60= $165+ no action.
Me: Uhh..(due to the fact that he had obviously put some thought into the matter)
Him: Instead, I get a hooker for an hour at $100 with no prep time + no dinner + no time wasted pretending I care about her + guaranteed sex any way I want= no brainer
Me: Uh, I never thought about it that way.
