Sex talk starts press tour
It didn’t take long for sex to become the main topic on the first full day of the Television Critics press tour in Beverly Hills.
And we haven’t even gotten to HBO’s explicit “Tell Me That You Love Me.”
PBS rolled out its featured programs today, with a post-lunch session on “What Females Want and Males Will Do.” After duck behavioral ecologist Patricia Brennan described her fascination with the rather large sexual organ of the male duck, which led her to research the inner workings of the female duck, the film’s producer Kevin Bachar sighed and commented that he felt as if he was “doing a duck porno.”
U.C. Davis professor Gail Patricelli says her work as a biologist experimenting with bird sexual selection has led her colleagues to dub her a “pornorthologist.”
Well, that’s the way to start out 18 days on press tour.
