#1 So we should ban porno on cell phone screens so drivers won't be even more distracted?

#2 "....phenomenon known as emotion-induced blindness."

I could tell that researchers heavily used the Koran as reference material.

#3 Hell, that isn't because of Porn, its because they are distracted! The same happens if they just had an 'emotionally charged' phone call, or if ther SO is -er- doing certain things, or .....

Now where's the hell is my white cane.... hate it when people move things...

#4 Don't know if porn makes you go blind.
Janet Reno or Helen Thomas in a babydoll would for sure.

And you'd want it, too

#5 I'm so confused... Is that why I'm wearing glasses? Should I stop my bad habits while there is still time? Anyway, I thought it was supposed to be hairy palms, not blindness. My palms aren't hairy, but my legs and feet are, and so is my lily-white butt, is this normal? Please, someone tell.

Damn, this research is very perplexing! I'm so glad they spent a lot of grant money to do it!

#11 yeah, my wallpaper's so, um, top-heavy I keep getting the feeling it's about to tip over - right into my lap. Who'da thunk it? Not that I'm complaining, y'see - or can you?

#13 Heh, crop your favorite bit(s) from this to fit your screen and you'll see what I mean. (~4.5MB - 3688x6568 - yeah, lifesize and just a tad NSFW)

#16 OK, OK! I won't watch any more porn while driving! Sheesh...

Does it count though if the people in the SUV in the next lane are watching porn on their DVD player?

#17 You're trying to access it directly. That's a no-no so that people don't bash my server to death posting links to my RB-linked images in other sites. Just right-click on the link and choose open in new window / tab. Works fine in Maxthon, IE, and Firefox. It has to be opened from this RB page either with a direct left-click or right-click. No passing these babies out to non-RBers, heh. Feel free to D/L and email or whatever - but passing along direct linkys doesn't fly. ;->

#19 Emotionally induced blindness. I wonder if I could have used my low threshold for this syndrom to explain my poor grades in high school to my parents.

#20 :) There's inspiration in those pixels, heh. I saw some recent pix of Nadine - and she still looks awesome, weathering very well, indeed. Good genes, heh. These "livepix" images are now no longer available, AFAICT. PB got all pissy and snotty with the websites that featured them and shut them down.

#22 What, no complaints about wasting $ on more worthless research? Could it be the subject matter? This needs more research.

#32 I think it's important to be able to go from this (NSFW) to this so you'll know she really did support the troops, in her own special way. I'll bet she was O Positive, too. Way to go, Whitney, heh. How are those grandchildren?

#37 ~~Nipple~~ Ripple?

Seriously, heh, being able to read the dogtags is sooo important. In another, I was able to read the Dick Tracy cartoon the model was reading. I'm a better man for it, too. Wymyns don't understand these things. Bad attitudes. An XX thingy. :-)

#39 "Emotionally charged" blindness. What a crock. I went blind the old-fashioned way: I wacked it.
