A friend of mine who used to keep a brilliant blog until she stopped writing it to pursue other brilliant creative avenues just returned from Italy and reported overhearing the following conversation in the Villa of Mysteries in Pompeii:
GIRL ONE (reading her guidebook's description of the mural): "To the right, the woman cringes in fear at the flagellation scene on the adjacent wall."
GIRL TWO: Flagellation?
GIRL ONE: Yeah, she's sucking some guy off.
GIRL TWO: That's cool.
I would say "O brave new world, that has such people in't," but I think I already used that line somewhere else in this blog in response to a very similar situation.

At least GIRL TWO didn't say, "That's HOT."

Oh, that's just pathetic.

wow flagellation and a blowjob, those egyptians sure knew how to have fun!

Yeah, but the gay guy from the previous situation might have been just a little more educated than GIRL ONE and GIRL TWO. (Not by much, perhaps, but just enough. Where it counts, at least.)

I bet there are hillarious personal-ad-related misunderstandings built on this.
