Is that actually a butt print on the couch?

[–] descartador@lemmy.eco.br 14 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

This was made by the bearded miniaturist. He participated in the challenge show the best in miniature and the show is available on youtube on his youtube. Check him out!

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

That’s awesome! Whats supposed to be funny about this?

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

It's a casting couch. AKA porn set

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Oh ok, I have actually heard of that. I didn’t know there was a single physical embodiment of that concept.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

This one was just apparently wuite well known

[–] Allemaniac@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

yeah this room has become the go-to meme when talking casting couch:

I used to work for the company upstairs in the same building as the inspiration for this diorama. There was a video where he went out and let a lady in after hours and I was like holy fuck I know those stairs... and that door... for about 6 months I walked past that door and never saw the guy, the blinds always closed. But eventually I found out they discovered a tenant filming porn in the building and they kicked him out. And I was like I fucking new it!

I mean, until someone told me what it actually is referencing, I assumed it was about The Office. It looks like the same room they did all the cut-away talk to the camera bits in. 🤷‍♂️

I don't watch commercial, live-action porn. If it's live action at all, it's literally home-made. Porn with production value actually kinda sucks.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 9 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Porn with production value actually kinda sucks.

Totally disagree, you probably just haven't watched porn with enough production value

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 12 hours ago

Nah, it's probably more a taste kinda thing. I dislike most produced porn for a variety of reasons, some being unsure on how ethical it is. I feel more comfortable with people sharing their personal nudes for people to see so I generally prefer amateur. Amateur also tends to have more realistic standards for beauty and sexiness? You get less of the cookie cutter huge dicks and either huge tits or barely past teen stuff.

There's also sometimes just a more general preference for less... produced/company/money made stuff even outside porn. Cosplay I generally am uninterested in the lewd stuff, but even outside it I like seeing people who worked hard on their outfits on their own time, and am far less interested in professional cosplayers who have whole teams etc.

So sometimes it's just preference, not we didn't see the right ones.

Fun fact, they got ~~their prize taken away~~ the display taken down after a week because the organizers ~~were told~~ found out what this is. They got to keep the ribbons though.

[–] sorghum@sh.itjust.works 41 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Poling said the state fair board considered stripping him of his awards, but decided to let him keep his ribbons.

It was only removed after being on display for a week

When asked why Poling's miniature was removed, a state fair spokesperson said "entries submitted to the fair routinely reviewed throughout the event."

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 22 points 16 hours ago (4 children)

Im still not sure why it was removed. Im not sure what the event was even for, but it looks like a showcasing of art projects? In which case, why remove it? It has connections to profane work, but is not of itself profane. Does having connections to profane works devalue the attatched piece? Does the piece not stand on its own merits?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Did you see the couch stain? I don't think that necessarily makes it bad enough to take down, but it's subtle so you have missed it and it's the part that is the most "objectionable" for lack of a better word.

[–] balance8873@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Lots of leather couches have weird markings. It is literally skin torn off the animal.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 50 minutes ago

Like I said, I am just pointing out something people may have missed.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 11 points 15 hours ago

Because it isn’t about art if they feel they can censor things.

[–] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Lemme tell you about the donkey jizz sluts in the bible

Ezekiel 23:20

There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. 21 So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.

Iirc this is some parable/prophecy about Israel not following god's law or something. So slut shaming a whole nation.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 3 hours ago

Oh no, a simile!

[–] Tja@programming.dev 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

That's not donkey jizz, just liking hung dudes. Which I think is understandable.

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

dudes hung like donkeys and who jizz like horses.

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

I took it to mean they ripped ass often

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 5 hours ago

I'm sure there's a subreddit/sublemmy for that, too.

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago

That last verse makes no sense - were bosom and breasts different back then?

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It was a state fair? This is what you do at fairs?

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

You have this, the butter statutes, and fucking your cousin.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

IDK about you, but that sounds like a party to me.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I’m a little too far north for that

Nah, you're never too far north for a good time.

[–] ephrin@sh.itjust.works 10 points 19 hours ago

Thank you for the correction!

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 16 points 19 hours ago

Prudes gonna prude.

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 78 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

There's a stain on the couch, lol.

[–] VicksVaporBBQrub@sh.itjust.works 15 points 18 hours ago

Specifically the middle cushion. I have video.

It smells like my sister.

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 35 points 20 hours ago

It's such a staple of our western society, I know what this is without having seen a single... Episode.

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 26 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

I'm ootl here, what is this?

[–] Theatomictruth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 19 hours ago

A well known porn set

[–] Grim@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 19 hours ago

I believe it's a porn casting couch of sorts.

[–] uzziah0@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)
[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 3 hours ago

Ootl means out of the loop

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 19 points 19 hours ago

I want to know who finally called it out? What person was like I know that place! We all know a Karen (male or female) is who eventually pulled it, but what person originally admitted to knowing it?

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 5 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

It kind of bothers me we don’t have a gay porn equivalent to this. We have some hilariously bad stuff that’s worthy of mockery and recognition. The porne ultimatum comes to mind as hilariously bad.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)
[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 5 points 12 hours ago

“What you doing? You can’t wrap your hands around my dick!”

It’s so hilariously bad.

[–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

What are the ribbons for? The article just says that it was submitted "to the state fair".
