It is times like these, that make me wish that I had real cable, instead of “these channels were already here when I moved in, yet I get no bill” cable. I was aksed to write about a special short film series airing on Sundance Channel titled, Green Porno. Before you all get any sordid visuals of martians wearing nipple clamps and thongs, let me explain what the show is about.
Green Porno is actress Isabella Rossellini’s eight-part short film series about the sex life of insects and various creatures. It will air on the cable channel in June and July, but it is already availible on their website, at sundancechannel.com/greenporno. It’s meant to be comical, but also insightful and educational at the same time. Oh yeah, it’s arty and interpretive, so you don;t have to worry about extra-creepy close-ups of bug faces, if that sort of thing disgusts you as much as it does me. From the clips I saw, it’s a show that I’d probably laugh at for all the right reasons, and of course, for all the wrong ones as well!
However, I love learning random facts. Especially random facts about sex. I’m like the Cliff Claven…of boning. That means, a show like this could be right up my alley. Below are a few clips for you to discuss, critique, embrace, clown, masturbate to, or whatever else your enlightened ListenToLeon-reading mind decides is appropriate:

Finally, a promo that I found HIGHLY amusing!

I’m so glad I’m a human being, who can have lots of safe sex without any fear of my penis breaking off, or my mate devouring my head as I’m hitting it from the back. Thank you, mother nature!
When I was in the 6th grade, I once read an entire book about the sex lives of mollusks. Yep, thats right! I read all about how snails and slugs got their freak on. Yeah, I was a strange kid.
L
i dont know about you but my mate devours my head every time we have sex.
I’m cracking up @ Cincy’s comment! HILARIOUS
That promo was FUNNY! Now I need to find someone with cable and watch this show… ahh Leon, you’re always educating the masses…
The last one was funny with the bee (or fly?) talking about his penis breaking off! LOL That would be why humans and I think whales or dolphins are the only things on earth that have sex for pleasure and not just procreation.
this should be good, I already watch lots of national geographic, discovery channel, learning channel, animal planet…..so this should be really good.
Guys better esp be glad they are human usually its the female that kills after insect sex LOL.
Dolphins have orgies, no BS I was trippin off that, I was like they seem so sweet,smart and innocent LOL
make that running trains for the dolphins, its several males taking turns on one female LOL
Cracking up @ Cincy’s comment! Can’t believe I’ll say this, but i remember in school watching a special on spiders mating: when the male tarantula approaches the female for mating, he has to bang his “hoo-hoo” on the ground 1st to make sure she doesn’t think he’s prey….Just thought I’d share that since we’re on the subject…. (LOL!!!!)
I don’t have cable either, but that Sundance Channel sounds like it might be worth it.
On another note, Isabella Rossellini is still such a striking woman.
lol that sounds kinky
But will there be minks fucking like….well….minks!?!?
gotdamn…I ain’t been over here in a hot minute…but I see the tomfoolery is in full effect! LMAO @ Cincy, Killa, and the term “hoo-hoo”.
Only you Leon.
