The Sweetest Curse

I have one question: can we please stop calling things on the internet "porn?"  I see it everywhere, food porn, earth porn, and even tech porn.  I'm getting sick of it because porn isn't something good. It's bad.

Pornography originally defined any sort of art depicting prostitutes or prostitution (thank you, Webster's).  That's people who sell sex.  They're not too high on anyone's hero list (unless you're an internet feminist). 

Porn caters to base lusts. It's degrading and disordered. To quote everyone's favorite Republican VP hopeful and loudmouth, "you can put lipstick on a pig..."
