sorry to keep posting about this... but it's funny you say that comment about how it was perceived on tv today - i don't normally watch much daytime talk show stuff ( except for of course Regis and Kelly...lol )
but a few weeks back that Tyra Banks did a whole week dedicated to the Adult Industry. So i thought i'd watch and see exactly what they were targeting us for now.
turned out to be a good few days of daytime talk show tv... they had a different theme for each day. Day one was prostitutes, Day two was the famous "bunny ranch" and then the following they did on the adult film industry. Well... let me tell you how they made us all out to be CRIMINALS... i was so upset at the tv that i had to shut it off!!
They had this film/photographer in the audience and this 20 year girl on stage. She saught this guy out via email and phone and said she wanted to do porn! She was willing to do everything you could imagine and then some... so the guy interviewed her and hired her... she is his new "golden girl" !! so to us that seems very harmless right? Girl seeks out porn job and gets hired... end of story!
Well Tyra broadcasting to millions made us seem like the scum of the earth. All pornographers should be shut down and how can they sleep at night, blah blah...she had everyone in the audience so angered that they were booing the poor girl. Tyra said that the business had corrupted her and she was not a good person anymore, and how can she perform such terrible sex acts for money, only people with no soul can do that... on and on !
I know it was just one shows perception of our business, but working in this business i know there are shady people and probably people who should be treated as criminals but thats in every industry... why always bag on ours??
So of course in the days to follow i get calls from all my friends and family
( non adult people ) asking me if i watched the tyra show and is that how things really are in this business.... it took forever to convince them that was the wrong view of the industry and that it's a product we sell and create just like anything else. Except it just happens to involve sex...lol...
