[snip a lot of very good points made by Yoshie]
But more broadly, why all the fuss about "commodification" of pleasure and
sexuality? Isn't it enough zat zey be pleazant and zexy, without also
demanding that they be politically correct? And what if commodified
products are actually *nicer* than their non-commodified equivalents? This
is certainly true of the brewing industry, and quite possibly of many
others.
