Susie wonders what to make of this new acceptance by prudish corporate America, and supposes we must follow the money....

Today show covers homophobia, inter-racial porn, and adultery. First up: Short, sharp - and mentally ill? How did folk-music star Michelle Shocked become a deranged homophobe?

Women: breasts. But why don't women share their clits?

At a recent tattoo convention, a young woman made quite a stir as she allowed cameras to record her getting a tattoo on her asshole. "What's all the fuss about?" says Susie.
