Wow! Where do you start with this one?

Par for the course for California. Nothing about that state surprises me any more.

[madprof98]

It's possible that Schwarz, who calls his Platinum X family a "team of mother, father, daughter and associates," is breaking new ground in an industry that thrives on expanding the concept of what's acceptable.

Sounds as if it's pretty much acceptable here. And so we go on down, down, down that slippery slope.

How perverted.

Prostitution is illegal. But porn, which is far worse, is legal. This makes no sense except that some judges cannot make it through their day without their porn.

[fnord]

what are the odds that a porn princess would hail (come?) from Wetmore !?

[headsonpikes]

Hey, before everybody jumps on this guy - he states flat out that he avoids looking at his daughter's 'work', or the explicit promo pics that display her goods.

So cut the guy some slack - it's tough being a Republican in the film business.

Um...better do this..(/irony)

[dukeman]

I don't approve of his choice of an occupation but its a very lucrative business. As long as he isn't breaking the law, he should be free to pursue happiness as he sees fit.

I understand that sentiment. I guess what troubles me is that Schwarz appears to have too easily gone along with his daughter's choice once he learned of it. I have a teenage daughter and it would grieve me deeply to learn she had gone into this line of work. Schwarz seems to have nuzzled up to it pretty easily. And saying that he's not involved for the money, well, that's a lie. Life rule: When someone says it's not the money-- it's the money!

[Conspiracy Guy]

I like the way you talk too umm hmm

[TRY ONE]

"to help Stephany get her own adult-movie company off the ground"

Such a "touching" family --- getting one's daughter's porn business off the ground (and onto the bed).

[HenryLeeII]

Wow. I don't know what to say. As the father of a five-year old girl, I can't just make some snide comment, its truly disgusting...oh, wait, Jewel DeNyle, I've heard of her. Owl, wasn't this the girl you telling me about that was a Kerry campaign worker in Philly back during the primaries? She was the head pollster or something?

[BraveMan]

I got the attitude
And that's all I ever say
Don't have to tell nobody
How their tail ought to lay
Had a sudden revelation
The heights that I've sunken down to
And I don't mind I can't find
My way out of this witch's brew
Livin' for the lizard life
Livin' for the lizard life
I stumbled on the way around
My own reality
Gettin' right-tightly wound
Past the pale of normality
I like big loungin' every day
On the iguana side of town
The lizard love, it mighty deep
Talkin' way underground
Livin' for the lizard life
Livin' for the lizard life
Livin' for the lizard life
Livin' for the lizard life
I be a reptile all day
And it's so fine (FINE)
Ain't no other way
Like a life minus mind
I prefer reclinin'
Beatin' that conga drum
And waitin' for a three-point landin'
On my sticky tongue
Livin' for the lizard life
Livin' for the lizard life
Livin' for the lizard life
I'm livin with a lizard life

I agree with you, but that means I will probably get torched on this thread.

Porn is no longer limited to dirty old men in yellow trenchcoats. Today it appeals to singles, couples, and women. The variety of sexual material is limited only by one's tastes and interests. And thanks to the Internet and DVD, its more accessible to a mainstream audience than ever before in history.

[TheBigB]

She was the head pollster or something?

Shameless, you are. ;)

[beezdotcom]

Is mom the towel and wipes girl? I wonder.

Naw, she's probably just a fluffer...

[cyborg]

probably

[dukeman]

I think your reply at #36 pretty well sums it up. Well said!

[tom h]

"At work, Schwarz says he takes extra precautions with his daughter's image and specifically avoids seeing her in anything she performs."

Which of course makes him a sensitive, endearing, loving father. [/sarcasm]

[dukeman]

Right! If there's really "no shame", why take any such lame measures?

[madprof98]

Today it appeals to singles, couples, and women. The variety of sexual material is limited only by one's tastes and interests.

As I said, down, down, down the slope. (And just when you think we've hit bottom, down we go again!)

[ken5050]

What's a fluffer?..in charge of towels?
