I first heard of Isabella Rossellini’s Green Porno project from Pharyngula, and I thought it was weird and nerdy and neat. So how excited was I when I found Green Porno: A Book and Short Films by Isabella Rossellini in my bookstore for 75% off??? Yeah for me! But, I mean…why was this treasure on the 75% off table in the first place? Who doesn’t want a book that focuses on the animals that surround us every day and their incredibly scandalous mating habits? Hell, isn’t that why people buy US, Star and People magazine?
Borrowed from http://fremenalex.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/green-porno-2.png
Anyway, the book not only contains full page pictures of the cardboard cut-outs and foam-rubber sculptures that are uniquely Green Porno, and educational and entertaining phrases such as “If I were a male anglerfish I would look sooooo different than the female. I would have a big nose to smell and find her in the abyss. On top of my head, I have a kind of tooth…which I use to penetrate her belly and fuse myself into her body becoming her own personal sperm bank.”…aside from all of that the (75% off) book contains a DVD with all three seasons of Green Porno!
Season one: Insects!
Seaon two: Sea creatures!
Season three: Sea Creatures and the perils of over-fishing!
I am the luckiest biology nerd ever!

I’m glad they make books for all sorts of people. I can’t say that I’m sold on the concept yet, I usually like my animal sex without foam-rubber sculpture.
