Prosecution // World of Warcraft.

Yesterday night when me and my one friend and her brother were talking about horse insemination, her dad started talking about how years ago the county police had to follow up reports that this one farmer was fucking his horses and camcording it and running an interstate porn business out of his home. As it turns out, it was true, though the police had to show the judge a couple videos of the guy fucking the horse and fellating the horse or getting fellated by the horse (he'd rub liquid oats on his dick to get the horse to lick it; he never actually put his dick in the horse's mouth) in order to get the warrant to go in and do a legal search of the guy's house and barn. They could only prosecute the guy under state business law, though as part of the sentencing they confiscated the guy's horses and limited his contacts with him, though my friend's dad was saying that was stupid, since the next thing you know the guy was fucking and fellating and getting fellated by the cows and sheep he still had on his farm, which, of course, weren't part of the sentencing terms since the courts had only put horses into the terms and not all livestock in general. "What can I say," he said. "We were naive."

On another note, I heard that in "World of Warcraft", since you can personalize your characters, you almost never run into two gnome warlocks or human paladins or whatever that look the same, but pretty much everyone who plays as a dark elf ends up having their characters look exactly alike, really tall and stringy-looking with white eyes and long long ears, even though the same huge range of characterization is available for the dark elves as it is for the humans and gnomes and whatever the fuck else creatures you can play as (orcs or goblins at the very least, I presume?; you can customize eye color and body type with the dark elves, though no ear length customization is available for the dark elves, though - I wonder how the game designers overlooked that possibility).

As I understand it, then, for some reason, there's a beauty standard for dark elves within the virtual world of the game, or at float among the people who are driven enough to buy the expansion pack that lets you play as a dark elf (perhaps drawn from beauty standards or lookist expectations for dark elves from the fantasy genre as a whole?). It's odd, though, that that kind of thing only surfaces in "World of Warcraft" there, with the dark elves.

How about facial symmetry?

"What can I say? We were naive." Great story.
