It’s a good joke because it’s so true; the only problem is that it’s also exactly what Barbie is.

  The film takes explicit aim…

  I probably should have known that this would get much more graphic than expected when I could only find it on a porn site. But I figured "eh it's from the 20s, it can't be that aggressive" and decided to watch it in the dining room of the home I share with roommates.

  During the six minutes that this runs, one roommate came home and, just as this was getting to the close ups of penetration I was not at…
