Irony

I was watching a television show called Wild West Tech, which was on the History Channel. The episode was narrated and included vignettes by David Carradine.

Why was this guy ever a "star"?

What was so interesting about the show was not the "tech" itself, but how many times the script called for Carradine to mention porn. In a segment about old-west saloons that featured gimmicks like stereoscopes or early film loop machines that featured dancing girls, David made the statement, "Porn theaters have come a long way!"

Why was that in the script? Has the average viewer ever been in a porn theater? Did Carradine write the vignettes? There was later a segment about (I'm serious) early sex-toys and gadgets. Which was about the time I wandered away from the screen.

One thing I saw before losing interest was a segment about old-West executions. In the introductory vignette Carradine stands in front of an old Saloon holding a noose and making reference to a "necktie-party".

Did Carradine's family overlook this particular episode? Or perhaps the residuals that come in from the episode are worth the embarrassment.
