UNICORN PORN
BY LAO GUARDIAN
Unicorn cock is three quarters the length of the horn atop its skull. I discovered this when I first saw a unicorn orgy. If you’ve never seen one, it’s like seeing a bunch of horses with horns atop their heads having a good time in terms of the manipulation of their magic genitals. (They do not manipulate their genitals gently, either. They really go at it.) Maybe you’ve seen the films I’ve made? They’re like nature documentaries, but with the animals doing each other, or more so: magic animals having magic sex. I tend to slap on some late-sixties Swedish psychedelia as background music, edit the images so provocative images cut back and forth from various angles, and voila, that shit sells. Unicorn Porn was really hot a decade ago when shit seemed way more fucked than it does now, that is, when people were freaked and the suggestion, let alone the fact, of Unicorn Porn activated pleasure centers in a way that was needed then, if not as much now. Not that things are any better now, just that people aren’t as freaked now as they were then and therefore maybe not as apt to watch sixty minutes of magic animals majestically getting it on. If you’ve never seen Unicorn Porn, if you’re expecting cozy green pastures and shimmering waterfalls and little Leprechaun rainbows everywhere, diaphanous mist coming off sweetly trickling streams and shit, that’s not what we’re talking about here. Not at all. We’ve always filmed in warehouse spaces since there’s something about the residue of heavy industry, the ghost of all that hard labor during the ultra-rational mechanical age that turns unicorns on. Who knew? You see some unicorns out in an idyllic airbrushed pasture, the last thing you’ll film is a hot unicorn romp. They’ll release magic neighs into the sweet breeze, sure, they might even leap so high they seem to pause mid-air in front of a large, low crescent moon. But if you attract them to a warehouse space with irresistible canisters of nitrous oxide and Wite-Out and airplane glue and paint thinner and the like, as well as a pretty sizeable vat of sliced kumquats you’ve let simmer for hours in brown sugar, you’re sure to lure some unicorns to your remote warehouse where, once they’re sufficiently out of their minds on whippets and candied kumquats, they’ll sense the ghosts of serious mechanization, and once their inhalant-blown magic unicorn minds realize that very rational work was done in this space for decades, you can sit back and start filming. Works every time. Usually they just stand there and look majestic and not at all strung out, but once you get them wasted on kumquats and inhalants and they’re hypersensitive to the ghosts of labor, they start fucking each other like there’s only an hour to live before the world ends and if they don’t spend that hour in a polyamorous ball of thrusting and sucking of horse cock and horns, all will be totally lost. What’s really amazing about this is that they get going to such an admirable, energetic, absolutely unselfconscious degree that for a while as you watch you’re hypnotized. But not in a zombie state. It’s more like an enlightened stupefaction. Supreme awareness of one’s surroundings—the warehouse, the film crew, the polyamorous ball of hyper-fucking unicorns—but every time I watch it live or on DVD, when I emerge from that trance, I’m always like my god aren’t we at war, didn’t I hear something about melting ice, what about high-fructose corn syrup’s effect on America’s youth, haven’t most industrial cities in America been hit by hurricanes of neglect and racism and whatnot for years but no international aid comes to help, aren’t the rich getting richer as the poor get buggered by the fiscal equivalents of unicorn horns, and doesn’t the Mayan calendar end any minute, anyway? It never fails. The feeling of emerging from coital oblivion spurred by the blur of thrusting and sucking of those erect horse cocks and majestic magic horns is always the same, the words that come to mind, the clearly enunciated internal thought is always my god we’re fucked, huh? But it can’t be that bad, or maybe it’s always been that bad? The goodnesses have always been pretty much the same. Love and friendships and fulfilled aspirations, blue skies and warm days and pleasant memories of the past and expectation of more memories made before the inevitable end. But the badnesses have always been a changeable list of horrors with the old-fashioned immutable full stop of death at the end. It used to be Black Plague, leprosy, dragons, ogres, evil spells, leeches, witch trials, lances through the heart. Back then the mighty unicorn surely pranced through pastures and surely something turned them on and the serfs of long ago stared in wonder as one unicorn thrust its mighty horse cock into the folds of another unicorn’s happy genital flesh as that unicorn used its giant magic unicorn tongue to lap the candy-cane–flavored horn of an another unicorn thrusting its enormous magic horse cock into the pleasure center of another magic beast doing the same to another magic beast doing the same to another magic beast, onward and upward and spinning in a whirlingly fantastic copulation that sends the viewer into such a pleasurable state of oblivion that the only thing that can be thought then and there is oh my my. And then after the post-coital realization of how fucked we’ve always been as a species, there’s a final glimmer of hope at the end, a necessary counterweight to the aforementioned full stop of mortality, a sense that if one member of our species can profit from selling DVDs loaded with Unicorn Porn, then maybe we as a species will be able to concoct some solutions to limit the degree to which we’re all totally and indubitably and ineluctably fucked?

For now, as Xmas approaches, as NYE 2012/13 approaches, as the End of the World approaches, we recommend a few things to keep you entertained if not totally sane: The Book Fight podcast. This essay on Full Stop by our very own Eyeshot Editor about Goodreads and other stuff. Way more people should also have already read and shouted in voce freakin' piena about Inscriptions for Headstones by Matthew Vollmer. We're mad it's not one of the NYT's best books of the year. Also, the image was taken at Tattooed Mom, a bar in Philadelphia home to the notoriously fun TireFire Readings.
