Catalog Porn

So I was leafing through the Musician's Friend catalog yesterday, which basically is like porn for me that I can leave out in the open because I like looking at all the guitars but am really unlikely to buy anything in that catalog in the near term other than strings, and started getting irritated with the pictures of keyboards, tape recorders, and other assorted recording gear like headphones. Pages of headphones....

I finally put my finger on why I hate all the non-guitar features of the catalog, and it's something like this -- if you pick up Playboy, chances are, you want heterosexual porn. And if you started flipping pages, and all of a sudden came upon some gay stuff, you might not be thrilled (unless, of course, it was hot girl on girl action, but you see my point). I mean, gay sex is fine and all, but that's not what one buys Playboy for. And then if you started seeing some she-males or something, you would be further annoyed, which is kind of how I feel when the pics go from nice guitars to basses to keyboards to headphones.
