Deepthroat
That was the title of a porn movie. I never watch it but when I was a young and innocent kid, everytime I'll talk to my friends about sex, we'll end up mentioning it. I think they never watch it either, but as far as we knew, that was a porn movie and in porn movies people have sex. We didn't know what sex was about nor what was the proper way to do it, or for that matter how to do it. Yeah we were kids full of questions and with hormones going through the roof back then.
At around the same time the movie came out, the other version of deepthroat was being cooked in a parking lot somewhere in Washington D.C. A guy in a top position in an agency in charge of spying on American citizens, end up spaying on the president. Kind of odd I guess, it's like if my antivirus starts deleting my files and screwing up my hardrive. The rest of the story is well known and we know the outcome: the president went into early retirement -instead of jail- and a couple journalists wrote a bestseller book.
It's funny that the code name "Deepthroat" was selected to make reference to an anonymous whistler blower that brought down a president (the movie was produced in 1972 and Nixon resigned in 1974). Was it maybe due to the 'screwing' of a president? Or just to make a parallel on how fucked up American political life was at that time? I mean, if there was movies of people having sex with blow jobs and stuff, the next logical step would be to bring down a president, right?
Hmmmm. . . that of course leads us to the present. With porn today so available, having grown to a multibillion dollar industry and being almost mainstream, does it have any relation with having a guy such as George W. Bush in power?

I always thought the news story of the Deep Throat scandal deserved a more fitting name. Cause now when you talk about it, there's no way to avoid some giggly reference to you know what.
