			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://sociallyengineering.com/wetmounts/woman07.jpg" alt="women" class="entryimg" />finally it has been said aloud was has been apparent for years by an authority of the body no less, one of chicago&#8217;s finest, <a href="http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20091014/REVIEWS/910149998">roger ebert</a>:</p>
<p><i>&#8221; i am happy to say it brings back an element sadly missing in recent movies, gratuitous nudity. sexy women would &#8216;happen&#8217; to be topless in the 1970s movies for no better reason than that everyone agreed, including themselves, that their breasts were a genuine pleasure to regard &#8212; the most beautiful naturally occurring shapes in nature, i believe. now we see breasts only in serious films, for expressing reasons.&#8221;</i></p>
<p> clearly a man with a preference and only the question remains to be answered:</p>
<p><i>&#8220;what-a good is all the violence in the world unless<br />
it is toppled with limitless sex?&#8221;</i></p>

<p>unequivically the answer is &#8220;no&#8221; if a fraternal bond is shared between your guitarist and vocalist while happening to be a black crowe, oasis or kink. again there be a &#8220;nay&#8221; if your brothers bee gibb whereas the deleos and maddens carry on gleefully with one another, a point that invariably accounts for some but not all of their suckitude.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.sociallyengineering.com/wetmounts/smoking01.jpg" alt="smoking" class="entryimg"/>the assertion of choice is nothing without pride yet millions of smokers cower from the frost and inclemency while huddling around slightly ajar portals dangling fags in the freeze. six feet under and with the choice, the marlboro man puffs away without cracking open his casket but the modern smoker has devolved to be mild as may once more. be work as it may, a slow suicide in of itself, it is high time that the modern smoker proudly take their life in their own hands, betwixt the index and middle to pull unrepentantly from their preferred brand of drug delivery device in the winter as a reclamation of the spirit and individuality that smoking&#8217;s marketers so carefully cultivated in years past.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.sociallyengineering.com/wetmounts/factory05.jpg" alt="factory" class="entryimg"/>man and himself expressed for himself, about himself and made into an artifact for his pleasure rightly is called art. a paleolithic frank scrawling a record of experience on a cave wall so as to stop time and space for himself is genuinely artistic whereas the claptrap of the historically defined artist is nothing more than a phantasmagoria designed to pick a pocket. l’art pour l’art commodifies and legitimizes the escapism of solipsistic labor evaders, denigrating the relation between man and his symbols while turning the process outward and into an exhibition of grotesque capitalistic impulses. artistic expression is rendering an artifact of the self for the self about the self and any end outside that is whoremongering.</p>
<p align="right"><i>you can calculate the worth of a man by the number of his enemies, and the importance of a work of art by the harm that is spoken of it.</i></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.sociallyengineering.com/wetmounts/reader01.jpg" alt="reading" class="entryimg" />barren from any serialized parchment and ink publications are &#8216;it&#8217; and &#8216;you&#8217; while &#8216;i&#8217; and &#8216;us&#8217; fruitfully multiple unchecked in the daily, weekly and monthly warrens. quaint in its naiveté, objectivity was at least a clever game of cat and mouse between columnist and audience in which purported empiricism purred forth waiting to catch unsuspecting reading rodents in the claws of conjecture. what an unrefined age where opinions are brazeningly brandished as fact without so much as the artifice of impartiality&#8230;a bit of a girlfriend experience can go a long way in returning a john to pay again for servicing.</p>
<p>somewhere along the way a clever soul finally noticed there is no &#8220;u&#8221; in profile and boldly placed their &#8220;i&#8221; within it. copy consists of rote ad nauseum of the relationship of the perceiver to the object, an insipid exploration of a parasitic attachment to a host. the spite of the boring and bromidic has been funneled into a career in publishing and the slow decline of traditional publications corresponds to the rise of self-absorbed hacks nakedly placing themselves within the piece. print remains dead. print is dead. and we have killed it.</p>
