Review: Pathetic guy in a sleazy world
Rating: 1 out of 5

Brad is in lust with his only friend, a guy who lives off of him and plays video games all day and insists he isn't gay.  In fact, Brad was horribly bullied in school by the group of guys who this friend hangs out with.  Brad hasn't completed school as a result and barely can find the worst kind of jobs.  He needs to pay the rent and goes to two old guys who run a strip-o-gram and porn business.Now, the reviewers here seem to find what happens very erotic, but I didn't find any of it erotic at all.  I guess tastes really vary.  I also didn't care much for Brad, who is just very sad, really.  He obviously has the self-esteem of a slug.  That's not the bad part... the thing is, he doesn't change.  The whole business he gets drawn into has the ugly realism of sleazy low-budget porn videos--not to mention the whole stripper-gram thing.  There is absolutely nothing the least bit romantic in this short tale.  And the characters were all people I wouldn't want to spend a second of time with (in fact, they all make me feel disgustingly dirty--if that's your idea of erotic, well, then!).  Again, maybe it's just me, but I really didn't see any up-side to this story at all.  I usually don't bother to review things I don't like (and I like nearly everything, so this is a rare case), but I thought I should warn people who might not think like the other reviewers do...
