On The Media did a segment comparing the Food Network to Porn, and the parallels between the two.
Literally.
How food networks stars are like porn stars. (Rachel Raye, the girl next door; Iron Chef, the S&M of food, to name a few...)
How the sounds are over-miked like porn. (squish)
How the soundtracks are like porn. (bad, and repititious)
How the camera angles are very similar to porn. (single camera, very 35mm-esque.)
How the neurological response to the Food Network is similar to Porn. (they used lots of big words.)
We always joked about it.
They actually researched it.
I am amused.
