new frontiers in nagging

I love my mother, and I try to be a good and attentive son when she asks me for help with something. But helping her upload a photo for her match.com profile? I'm sorry, but no. The combination of a tech-support request, an uncomfortable window into a parent's romantic life, and guilt over not wanting to help is some kind of new maternal superweapon. If she could somehow integrate asking me to pick up my room and warning me not to smoke, she and her allies might finally be able to declare victory over filial forces everywhere.

1. My dad has a rousing interest in naked women. Specifically: naked women that you see on your television set after putting a rented DVD into your DVD player.
2. My parents just got high-speed internet, and my dad has talked about how fast it is.
I'm worried that step #3 may include Dad asking for "technical advice" (as is his wont) about "downloading" files from "websites." Ick.
Semi-related: I just got to watch some HD DVD clips on Toshiba's new HD-XA1, and it really is astoundingly beauteous (duh). Has anyone discussed the implications of the new DVD formats on porn? Because my dad might be asking about that, too...
Something just like that happens in that movie where Hilary Duff plays a blogger.
Like what Tom says, not like what Stanley says. And I certainly didn't mean to post anonymously. 'cause I know if I tried, Tom would ruthlessly out me.
wait, Hillary Duff plays a blogger in a movie?
WouldI lie?
Yuck. And I was just nitpicking typos in another thread. My excuse is that I was holding the laptop up in the air so the cat couldn't sit on the keyboard.
