Naked ESPN

Today The Root published my take on “The Body Issue” of ESPN The Magazine. The business of bodies is fascinating stuff, especially if you move beyond the bikini treatment paradigm.

    “He has yet to come across anyone he knows on XTube.”

    This extremely rude double entendre remains in the article’s bio line. It’s from a previous article and I could not be happier with its presence.

    i had a good chuckle on that line. i could appreciate it. that’s probably the first and last time “xtube” appears on the the root. it’s kind of interesting, before my gig last year, i had no idea what a porn tube site was. i think a lot of people still don’t know.

    i don’t imagine henry louis gates films himself fucking. but ya nevah know…

    my friends and i were talking about this yesterday:

    do you think any of your friends have stuff on these porn tube sites?

    and did you know that danyel smith is the executive editor of there now?

  4. Slav Says:

    I have one friend who has a couple clips on the tubes. i’m sure there are others

    yep, I knew Danyel’s at the root.

  5. Donnell Says:

    i think i know people who upload their porn but keep their faces out of the frame.

    can’t at this moment provide comformation or names.

    i didn’t until the assignment came. gotta get out from under my rock.

    i might have something weirdly comprehensive running at a less likely site next week. Less likely, even, than Entrepreneur, which is outta OC.
