Porn stars angry at condom requirement, threaten to leave L.A.

Los Angeles Times ^ | November 7, 2012

AIDS activists called a requirement that porn performers wear condoms while filming a "referendum on the subject of safer sex."

But with almost all the votes tallied and Measure B winning passage, many in the adult film industry were wondering what's next for the industry — and whether they must now take their business out of Los Angeles County.

Heh. California os so over-regulated that they’re even driving the porn business out-of-town.

A few years ago, I heard a sports talk show host based in Los Angeles say that the University of Oregon cheerleaders are now attractive because people from Los Angeles (California) escaped the home state.

Good grief, what’s next — making Janeane Garofalo wear a bag over her head? Oh, wait!

My home town, the San Fernando valley, is the home of the porn industry, and it’s an industry that hires a lot of people -— not just those with three foot appendages, either. When CA is hurting, these idiot voters vote more taxes for all, and this condom regulation means we lose this huge business ( pun accidental) now too.

It seems like anyone who stays here with their business is a weiner no matter what you do.

This is where the rubber meets the road.

You knew when you wrote it that this would be Post of the Day, didn’t you?

Sandra Fluke has been hired by the state to observe filming and ensure proper condom use

[Robwin]

Say, what happened to that slogan about people controlling their own bodies and stuff like that?

[TexasRepublic]

Or, “This is where the rubber meets the rod”.

Since HIV DOES NOT cause AIDs (a syndrome of more than 30 separate diseases states), and AIDs is NOT a sexually-transmitted disease, this is ridiculous.

You're insane.

[newzjunkey]

Regardless of what one thinks about this “industry” I don’t see how something like this can be decided by an election.

And you thought liberals wanted to stay out of the bedroom. Consenting adults and all that. /s

What do pornographers do when they get angry? The comments on this article are hilarious, they really consider themselves a legitimate industry.

[Mr. Blond]

Is SFV part of LA County?

[SaraJohnson]

Lord, move the “porn industry” to Sodom. Nobody wants their mental and physical disease factory.

[Yaelle]

Yes, sf valley is part of LA city and county.
