How Well Do You Know Your Green Porno?

Jeff McIntire-Strasburg — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 16:08:51 +0000

If you’re a fan of the Sundance Channel’s series Green Porno with Isabella Rossellini, you’re probably already aware that the acclaimed show launched its third season on Monday (with a focus on marine animals). But how well do you really know the mating habits of various animal species?

In order to celebrate the new season, we’ve agreed to host another event with the show… this time a quiz (which you’ll find below the jump). Answer the questions below in the comments; if you score 80% or above (that is, only miss two questions), you’ll be entered into a drawing for a Sundance Channel prize package that includes:

Ella Vickers bags, made out of recycled sails
1 Bag at a Time farmers market bags
A Boku journal made from recycled paper
Sundance pen
Sundance Channel t-shirt (made from organic cotton)
Sundance Channel hat (made from organic cotton)

Ready to get started? Here’s the quiz (and links to videos with the answers… this isn’t that hard)

Apparently, the pine wood snake has a very distinctive schlong: no one who entered our “Name that Schlong” contest confused it with the penis of, say, a blesbok or a dragonfly, or any of the other “members” of the Grand Gallery of Penises. Well done, schlong-namers!

Now, on to the important stuff…

We have a winner!

UPDATE: We’ve got a new Green Porno contest running… check it out.

If you’ve had dreams about Isabella Rossellini wandering through a forest of enlarged animal penises (peni?), either you need to get to the shrink quickly, or you’ve been watching Sundance Channel’s Green Porno series very regularly. If the latter’s the case, let’s see how much you’ve picked up…

Name that Schlong

Take a look at the picture above. The arrow in the picture is pointing out a specific species’ penis. Know what it is? Name it… in the comments. Need help? Check out the main contest post at Sundance’s SUNfiltered blog (disclosure: I’m a blogger there).

Do I have you attention? Okay, good. Now, get your mind out of the gutter and instead turn your thoughts to the sex life of insects and other creatures. Isabella Rossellini has created an eight-part short film series titled “Green Porno” in conjunction with Robert Redford’s Sundance Channel.

These eight film shorts premiered back in May on sundancechannel.com, and they have been shown on the Sundance Channel. Starting today they will be made available worldwide through sundancechannel.com/greenporno. Two of the short films, Snail and Worm, are also available on YouTube starting today.

In addition to making these unique and irreverent film shorts more widely available, the Sundance Channel website is launching an interactive quiz, “What Kind of GREEN PORNO Star are You?” Turns out, I’m a dragonfly. According to the quiz:

Free and clean is how you run your life. Free–You’re the founding member of the Mile High Club. You know nothing about the sky being the limit.

True about me? I’m not telling.
