PULLING OUT, CALIFORNIA PORN INDUSTRY FACES NEW RISKS

25,000 adult film stars, distributors, and fans descended on Las Vegas this week for the 15th annual Adult Entertainment Expo and AVN Award Show, the industry’s equivalent of the Academy Awards. Porn stars showed off for the cameras, toy manufacturers hawked their wares, and 1,000 journalists from hundreds of outlets chronicled the extravaganza.

However, this year’s convention comes at a pivotal moment for the industry’s presence in California, which has long been the pornography capital of the world.

What next, porn production being outsourced to India?

Or Eastern Europe. Lots of cute women, low pay scales.

Apparently that law was repealed in the 1990s

Dear Porn Purveyors,

Keep that trash over on the left coast.

Sincerely,

>>California is so overtaxed and overregulated that even the porn industry is leaving. What’s left?

Government, show stores and Arbys...

I saw that headline, and I said “they did NOT just do that...”

It would be interesting in some Muslim countries and other places with low marriage ages. If a married couple makes a porn movie of themselves, and the wife is under-age, does it still count as child pornography?

If the reason is the wife is too young to consent to video release, what if the video is held until she's over 18, and she then consents to distribution?

This is shaping up to be a very punny thread.

I thought it was about the California legislature.

And in the end, it will also end up hurting the movie industry in California, too. People forget that many “behind the scenes” people who work in Hollywood often took jobs in the adult movie industry as a way to make money until they become successful in the “real” movie or TV production industry.

pay for pr0n ?

[wally_bert]

Long time back when I was in the reserves while in school for TV production, I talked to the leading NCO about being in his unit. My schooling came up and he asked me if I could produce a porn flick.

*snicker*

[GeronL]

Will they have to incorporate Bollywood musicals into them?

[Patriot777]

Have you noticed how many porn stars there have come down with AIDS lately? Bathe yourself in filth, eventually you’re going to get sick...and die.

My theory: TATTOOS killed the “adult entertainment” industry. Some of those gals would make a merchant sailor cringe...

Elias is a bit of a leftard, but offers some insight about a law recently passed in LA County.

Makes sense, after all, plenty of sex on European TV and film, yet somehow they don’t actually make babies much.

There is actually a nice conversation in the comments of that article talking about Firefly.

clap clap clap

Did you post that one-handed?? :-)

The sound would have been different, and I'd rather not get banned by the Mods...
