Man fell from the garden of Eden, and he planted the Garden of Herbal Evil, to justify Brutal Myths against women. Fortunately women have the Blissful Garden of Herbal Good to bind the evil herbs. (possibly NSFW, contains line drawings of genitals.) Brutal Myths is a collaborative, interactive multi-media work by artists Sonya Rapoport and Marie-José Sat from 1997. More, and more recent, works are found here including:

The Transgenic Bagel, (Watson and Crick urge you to eat of The Bagel)
Smell your Destiny
Kabbalah Kabul: Sending Emanations to Aliens

First JPEG virus discovered... "The W32/Perrun virus, as it is now being called, extracts data from JPEG files and then injects picture files with infected digital images. A fair warning to those individuals who are fond of sending multimedia files to friends and families." Is everyone's porn stash threatened now?

Real goes subscription. A decent business model, IMHO. But with two lacking elements: 1) Too expensive ($3-5/month is better), 2) More compelling content (needs more name brands). I think a flat rate type content model could work well for video/multimedia content (the porn industry does well with it).
