Difference in pronunciation between "fond" and "found"
It's better to listen to a good speaker. I think most Chinese have problems with "ou" in "found" or "ow" in "town". If you slowly pronounce "found" as f-a-u-n-d, it will be good. Instead, many Chinese pronounce "found" and "fond" as (I think) f-a-n-g-d. "Fond" is really f-o-n-d, where "n" is not "ng", and "o" is that in "dog".

请问What’s So Wrong About Porn?是什么意思？
是应该翻译成“色情作品是如此的不好？”“色情作品是如此的被冤枉？”“色情作品出了什么问题？”？？？？
这句话是要否定色情是作品还是支持色情作品的语气？
I would choose the third translation. The tone is against porn. But you may also say the author perhaps works in the porn industry and notice that this industry is not doing well lately (not making profit), so he's questioning the marketing and other issues.
