Church hosts 'porn and pancakes' event

Fri Jan 26, 11:08 PM ET

ONTARIO, N.Y. - It's not your typical church breakfast. An event billed as "Porn and Pancakes" is being hosted by a church in rural upstate New York.

The breakfast discussion on the pornography industry in America is planned next month at the Living Word Assembly of God Church in the town of Ontario, about ten miles east of Rochester.

A billboard advertisement near the church shows the words "Porn and Pancakes" written in syrup on a stack of flapjacks.

Organizers told a Rochester TV station that the event on February 10th will be an honest discussion about pornography and its impact on society. The discussion will be led by Triple-X Church, a group of youth ministers who travel the country talking about porn and the porn industry.

The pastor of the Wayne County church and churches from Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse have asked about hosting "Porn and Pancakes" events.

"Oh come, all ye faithful..."

Bu dum ching!

Thank you, thank you very much. I'll be here every night this week. Don't forget to try the veal.

Of all the things to read on FR. It's my home town. We have enough trouble with the 315'er image as it is.

If I remember correctly, many years ago they also protested a local porn shop. Once the protest hit the Rochester local news this failing shop got the best advertising it could have. It went from an unknown shop that rarely had cars in the parking lot. It went unnoticed by most people that drove by. Now it seems it have a lot of cars, even in the afternoon. I'm not sure if it's locals or people driving to an out of the way place so they can buy items without being seen by their friends and family. Either way, the law of unintended consequences made this nearly failed business into what looks like a thriving business. They have even added cigars to fake a legit reason for people to stop.
