3D Porn? Yeah, We’ll Get Back to You On That

Last year Em found herself — don’t ask why — agreeing to see Jackass 3D on opening night in L.A. (On a date night, no less.) In what was either a moment of pure genius commentary on sex and technology — or else just plain jackassery — the movie featured a 3D dildo bazooka fight, […]
