Twitter Snapshot: Cindy Gallop surprises TED2009 with a frank talk about pornography
Cindy Gallop took the stage at TED2009 to premiere her new website: makelovenotporn.com. In language not often heard at TED, this bold personality described her newest project.
Some real time reactions from Twitter:
In our culture, hard core porn has become a de-facto substitute for sex education: thus, unveiled at TED http://makelovenotporn.com -- timoreilly
TED Live: Cindy Gallop surprise appearance. Talks about the ridiculous notion that "teen abstinence would actually work." Right on. -- brainpicker
TED DIscussing Porn with Cindy Gallop. Probably the first time the words "Cum on my face" been used repeatedly at TED. -- sdgeek
TED Live: Cindy Gallop's site takes the myths of hardcore porn and balances them with reality. Not anti-porn. -- rainpicker
If this post made you blush a little, you aren't alone:
I love this talk, but cannot tweet it. -- missrogue
Never a dull moment at TED2009.
