Accidently flash?

HA!Thanks for your reply.Now Im sure I wasnt seeing things.Wonder if alot of people ever even noticed it.

I really hate the Internet. Seriously. I didn't get up this morning saying, "Gee, you know what I'd really like to do? I'd like to see the nads 'n' all of Robin Williams before I go to bed tonight." Hard as it may be to believe, it wasn't even on my mind at all.

Then the movie comes on TMC; then I go look up something on Jerry Reed; then I do the irresistible scroll to the bottom of the IMDB page on the film, and I see this thread, and I get to the posts. The posts are dead clear. They do not say something like, "See Natalie Wood in the buff--turns out she was as in-shape as some of the fitness-conscious starlets today!" (too bad she and all the others back then weren't, but anyhow), or "I have a video of a dog who can sing Follow Me Up to Carlow, every verse, and here's the link." Nope. Nothing like that. The thread clearly says "accidental flash"; I know the stars of the film are male, but I read the posts anyway; then I get to the post where it's clearly marked that these are the photos of, and I quote, "balls" and "head."

Now, see, I have good friends who are gay, so I'm not saying this in any way that could be construed as the least bit derogatory; but the fact is that I am decidedly not gay. I am very, very straight. Oh, Lord, am I straight. Like, six kids straight. I have a wife that makes people give me that look like, what the hell is _she_ doing with _you_?--deservedly so--and I couldn't love it more.

So was there ANY chance that I wasn't going to click not one, but both of these links? Of course not. Why would you even ask a question like that? Not a chance in hell. Not a micron of a chance. Zero. Man, did I ever have to see the balls of Robin Williams. There was no way this wasn't going to happen. I can't even tell you how many times this sort of thing has happened. Absolutely something I don't want to see, but morbid and/or inexplicable curiosity drives me to it. Same story, too--plainly labeled, no way do I want to see it, can't wait to see it.

So weird. I remember not all that long ago--really not, only 15 years or so--when if something came up that you wondered about, you'd wait until you could look it up at the library, or you'd realize it's just a mystery that doesn't demand immediate attention, and these things would drop away, and what would be left tended to be what was important. Or, if somebody had a rumor about a "flash" scene, you'd go rent the VHS, maybe, if you remembered it by the next time you went to the video store. Now all you gotta do is just walk across the room, get into this ridiculous clicky-chain of "hey, that looks interesting," and next thing you know you're looking up Robin Williams' hospital gown because you just can't help yourself when it's so damn easy. You just forget about priorities at all, because everything is so easy to get. Just a click. Weird. I still haven't adjusted to this. For somebody who's naturally curious about nearly everything, you end up like a sugar addict who's just had a five-pound sundae.

So anyway...thanks for posting!
