The end of an era
The other day, a very sad thought occurred to me. The advent of digital cable means the death of scrambled cable porn. What was once a proud ritual of pubescent boys, switching over to the PPV channels late at night and watching the scrambled feed — “Is that a boob or an elbow? I think I just saw a vagina!” — that ritual is now dead. Bonding with other boys at a sleepover, inside jokes about the terrible music…all gone. It’s a sad, sad day for American youth.
I believe a moment of silence is in order.

And not to forget: Getting caught by your parents over and over again :)
I even remember watching late night Pay Tv channels without a decoder. At those times you could see the “Coded Stream” which was just a bunch of horizontal black and white lines. But if you look long and carefully enough, you may see a NIP after a while..
