They're using a sensationalized story to attract an audience. The subject is controversial, yet ultimately unimportant. It isn't "newsworthy". But, it is titillating (pun intended) enough to attract viewers.

[fnord]

They profit by selling advertising on a program "exposing" smut. typical sweeps week behavior. then they can pretend to be above the porn merchants.

"Even the people who enjoy looking at pornography really despise the people they're watching"

Dr. Kook lost me on this one. My guess is that viewers don't despise the performers. I suspect they are jealous of the performers.

But to think there are any health standards in the porn industry is like thinking there are any health standards in the illegal drug trade. When you fly below the radar of public morality, you should expect to be among dirty people. It's part of that rebel image.

If you were going to have some sort of regular testing or health registry, the first thing is these folks would have to give folks their real names. OOOPS! - That kills that idea.

Don't knock the porn industry. The way we are headed it may be the only remaining US export. That and the world greatest collection of lawyers will be all we have left. :-(

[PJ-Comix]

Koop believes that to prompt reform, Congress should hold hearings on regulating the industry and "subpoena some of the people who run these shows."

Yeah, I can just see The Hedgehog testifying as an expert witness.

[PJ-Comix]

I was surprised that the porn actresses (?) really dont make that much money at all to do this.

The really good looking ones do. Ginger Lynn made a ton of money but it all went up her nose.

[weikel]

Yep.

How nasty people are for liking sex.

What's sex got to do with it? Only today I was spammed with an invitation to see on-line porn actors "FIST THE BITCH". This isn't sex; it's commercialised humiliation and torture.

[First Amendment]

I agree - even animals are more human about their sex lives. The huge porn business is further evidence that we are in the dwindling days of our civilization unless big changes of some kind happen. For anyone to think that this is unimportant or insignificant is worse than foolish. Lives are ruined by pornography - those that "act", those that watch, and those that profit.

[First Amendment]

And, I forgot to add, those who are raped or molested by men who get weird watching a lot of porn.

Terrorist won't be the death of America but Porn & Sexual Americans will
It started with an idea. Naked people sells. America has fed into the lie about sex and porn. Making it a daily meal. They worship sex and porn much like a religion.
There is a threat to take the soul of America and it comes from porn. Sure the terrorist wants to kill but porn kills the very soul of a people.

Now we are being attacked with porn via the internet. UnWanted emails that offer every kind of sick attack to the soul using porn and all its sickness. Or using any major search engine with just a keyword or two and Porn is opened up for all to taste. This is a major attack happening and it is slowly turning a great nation into a very very sick nation. Just read the news headlines day after day and what the porn is doing to people and their minds that they do such sick sick acts on others, innocent others.

Yes Terrorist won't be the death of America but Porn & Sexual Americans will.

Mandrake I can no longer allow pornographic infiltration, pornographic indoctrination, pornographic subversion, and the international pornography conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

[weikel]

Its mostly retarted AOL users who get that porno spam.

[weikel]

A porn union I won't stand for it. If the gals get selected based on seniority well...

[TLBSHOW]

I don't use aol and I have a filter set up now!

[Tokhtamish]

Sounds like the Shauna Grant story. She was a weak, stupid, naive girl who thought she was being sophisticated and would be a big Hollywood star someday.

Blew her brains out with a shotgun at the ripe old age of 21.

[Tokhtamish]

Most bigtime porn performers also tour as strippers. They were strippers before their porn careers and will be strippers after.

I wonder if the declining real incomes of non-college educated people have created a climate where there is a large pool of poor or working class 18 year old girls with nice racks who see a way to make a lot of money fast for not a whole lot of work. Beats WalMart.

[Tokhtamish]

Don't knock the porn industry. The way we are headed it may be the only remaining US export.

US ? The San Fernando Valley is being rapidly eclipsed as a producer of porn by Prague and Budapest. Many American companies go there to shoot. While most American porn stars are the product of plastic surgery and implants, Eastern Europe boasts a torrent of Catherine Zeta-Jones level bombshells who will do absolutely anything and everything for the camera.

In America, a very, very beautiful woman would never consider porn as an option because it would eliminate any possibility of marrying up. The staggering beauty of Eastern European porn starlets perhaps indicates how poor their marriage prospects are or how desparate they are to come to America.

Pornography...the welcome mat on the porch of the Culture of Death.

And now ABC is profiting from it.

The Super Bowl ads for ABC shows weren't too far from it, either.
