How can I break the news to my parents that I'm a commenter? Or is that commentator? “How does she break the news to her parents that she was a blogger?”

That is normally a reasonable test of the titillation (that term badly needs updating) factor - but they certainly are very well written. But I suppose it's a bit a like the Soprano's which has an excellent script and excellent actors but 'normalises' organised crime to the extent that it must look like quite a good career option to some and although not having any strong moral views on prostitution myself you can understand the Daily Mail who at least like to take a moral stand seeing it as likely to contribute to the continuing 'fall' in moral standards.
