We need a new Hays Code.

Short of that, I would propose the "Leadership by Example Code in Cinema Act." This would establish the principle that people in a position of authority in the performance arts should not require, bully or bribe employees to do anything that they would not do themselves. If a film features nudity and graphic simulated sex, so be it ... but the director, producer, casting director, etc. should have to shoot the scene as well, with exactly the same parameters as the actors. This would be shown as a short immediately following the real movie. This principle should be followed up the chain of command right through the corporate parent -- and yes, this means YOU, AT&T, Comcast, Sony, Netflix and Disney. The CEO has to do it too. Assuming a member of the opposite sex is involved, the big corporate boards can offer up some of their female board members to participate. The chief legal officer and head of HR should be in the mix as well. If the suits want to run a porn operation, the suits should strip off too. The producer and director of the film should always have to do it; the rest can draw straws and do a rotation.

The pornification of Hollywood movies would end the moment the women sitting on corporate boards were told they had to set the example.

All shorts involving senior corporate execs and board members should also be distributed to all shareholders and be reviewed at annual stockholders meetings, the topic being "corporate ethics and our leadership responsibilities."

Good idea! As long as Bill Clinton or Harvey Weinstein are not on any of these boards.
