I read a story recently about outrage over a former children’s performer appearing in Ralph magazine. Kellie Crawford, who had appeared on the children’s program Hi5 for ten years, had posed in lingerie for the May Edition of Ralph magazine.

It caused great concern to Julia Gale from Kids Free 2B Kids who said:

Older teenage girls will wonder why performers feel the need to pornify their image.

I was outraged and disgusted … PORNIFY – thats not a word. While Ms Crawford tastefully poses for Ralph Magazine Ms Gale tastelessly misuses the English language. But she is not the only one! Someone has coined Pornification to refer to a game where you change a legitimate movie title into an X-rated version. It can also be done for Shakespeare plays; some examples:

Two Gentlemen and Verona

Measure for Pleasure

The Desperate Wives of Windsor

Any other tasteful suggestions (moderation applies)?
