PORN-AGAIN STAR (actor Stephen Baldwin, born-again Christian, acts against nabe sex shop)
NY POST ^ | 1/18/06 | BILL HOFFMANN and HASANI GITTENS

PEEPIN' STEPHEN: Stephen Baldwin, a born-again Christian, plans to snap photos of license plates of people going into a Nyack store once it's a sex shop, then publicize their names. Photo: Djamilla Rosa/WireImage.com

Actor Stephen Baldwin has his shorts in a bunch over a sex shop opening near his estate in Rockland County.....

The least-known of the Baldwins, Stephen, a born-again Christian, parked himself outside the Route 59 location in Nyack and took snapshots of construction workers walking in and out of the building.

Once the smut shop opens in a few months, the 39-year-old star of "The Usual Suspects" plans to photograph patrons' license plates and run their names in the local newspaper to shame them from ever returning.

His beef is that the store is within a quarter-mile of the community's residential area. "This is a thoroughfare that I drive by many, many times as do college kids, mothers with their children," Baldwin said.

He said he and other residents protested at Nyack planning-board meetings and asked the owner, Quintus Algama of Hollis, Queens, to choose a more distant location, but he wouldn't listen.

In addition to selling sex toys and porn, the shop will also feature video booths where patrons can watch hardcore flicks in total privacy.

"These guys want to do this business, God bless 'em. That's between them and God. They'll have to deal with that for eternity. But the people of Nyack do not want this location where it is," Baldwin said.

Baldwin said he's already enlisted the help of dozens of students of nearby Nyack College who'll be at the store the day it opens to protest.

Really, you wouldn't care...even if it is an adult store?

I go into adult stores all the time. Do you only frequent children's stores?

So instead of "come on in and have some coffee" it's "come on in and have some sex!" You people must be awfully tired in Arkansas!

No, not icky. Not Clinton legacy either. In Arkansas, the high sex drive is directly related to the gasoline tax. Our roads down here are terrible. You can't drive to the convenience store and back without being shook and vibrated near 'bout to arousal.

Folks that live in the country or drive more than a few miles per day just cain't help it.

parsy, who often finds himself involuntarily stimulated on his way to the book store.

That weirdly Dieter-esque, pouty "Glamour Shots" PR photo does not cause the phrase "born again Christian" to spring immediately to mind. He looks more like an aging porn star himself.

He appeared on Howard Stern's show as recently as July 2004:

Howard Stern does more and worse damage to American culture than any porn store.

Just another Baldwin jerk.

I agree with his position, I'm just not sure that publishing names and license plates is the best way to go about opposing it.

OTOH, if someone cares enough to oppose it at all, it ill-behooves me to complain too much about it.

Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's right.

What's with these Baldwins and cameras? One kicks a photographer in the nuts for taking his picture and now this one wants to harass law abiding citizens.

Naw. Kinda strangely energized the way I hear tell. But, folks are polite, to wit:

"How you feelin' today Miss Rosie?"
"Why thank you fer inquirin. Come on in Jeb and lets us talk about it."

This is also why you see so much furniture (like couches) on folks front porches.

parsy, who is from around here.

I doubt that he does drugs. He's the black sheep of his family because he's a big-time conservative. He shows up on Fox News all the time and is the host of Scare Tactics.

I would really be embarrassed if I ran into my pastor there!

True story, when I was a kid I was an usher at a theater that was showing the Kama Sutra, an R rated movie. My assistant pastor and his wife showed up to see it.
Naturally I didn't tell everybody. I don't know everybody.

Some of ....actually...most of the answers posted here are appalling!

With all the deviancy, sex and homosexual agendas, blasphemy, etc. in the country...

...we finally have someone who is not ashamed of his Christianity and trying to make a difference....

...but many of you are cutting him to pieces!

What I've seen of and from him since his conversion appears genuine and real.

And the Bible is very clear about that too!

It says 'blessed is he who is persecuted for my sake'....

Think about it.....do you really want to be included with persecutors....(this persecution being in the form of name calling) against this Christian man?

Good for him, a celebrity doing something right for a change. I hope it shames the customers into staying away.
