 Pornography 

I removed ""pornography"" from examples of hyperreality.  Though I certainly understand what the author was thinking, not everything considered ""pornographic"" by everyone's standards is necessarily ""hyperreal.""  Without delving into the differing definitions of pornography, there's a specific example I can think of which illustrates my argument.  Let's say someone makes an amateur video of him or herself having intercourse, and let's postulate that this person decides to sell said video for whatever reason.  Since it's a depiction of a sex act and it's being distributed, this video would be considered pornographic by most definitions.  Nothing about it, however, is inherently hyperreal.  Someone might be interested in purchasing it for the purpose of sexual arousal, and I acknowledge that being aroused by a digital representation is clearly a ""hyperreal"" act, but that doesn't make this piece of pornography hyperreal in and of itself.  This might be an odd example, but I think it serves to illustrate that ""pornography"" is too vague and subjective a concept to consider inherently hyperreal.  But perhaps I'm totally wrong."
