Porno Music

I've decided that I feel sorry for people who work in the adult entertainment industry; specifically the people who work on Porno Films. I mean if you were say a camera operator, how would you make a resume tape of your work if you were trying to go into another field. You work would all be adult material. Think about it. Camera Operator person wants to get a job doing news after not getting any adult work for awhile. He sends his resume tape in and Bam. There are these shots of people doing "the deed". His closeup work on "certain areas" and of "certain actions". I guarantee that he's not gong to be doing news reports about a church picnic anytime soon.

Though I think that it's far worse for the musicians who make that cheesy music. They dream of being the next "big thing" and they end up recording music for "Beach Sluts 17" or something. You know, when they record a score for a major film, the actual movie is shown as the orchestra plays along. It might have something to do with timing or inspiring the musicians or something like that. I wonder if they do the same with pornos. The band plays while they watch the scene take place. I hope not, because it would get boring after awhile.

Now that I think about it, working in the "smut" industry must hold some sort of embarrassment for people. What do you tell your mom? "Mom, I'm a lighting director for porno movies. It's my job to make sure that we can see things from underneath while something is going on". I know that mom's are suppose to be proud of their children but I could see my mom telling people that I'm a drug dealer before telling them that I worked doing porn.

What about National Take your daughter to work day? You do that once and your daughter will be wearing clear heels for the rest of her life. According to Chris Rock, clear heels are the new international symbol for SKANK. Any child of people who work in the porno film business is going to suffer in one form or another and I'm not even talking about the actors in the films.

The actors are going to have it worse eventually. Now everyone manages to go into mainstream entertainment like Ron Jeremy or Tracy Lords. If they become parents, they will have to explain this to their children. You know Madonna is going to have to explain that sex book to her kids one day.

Perhaps these people feel pride in what they do and I'm glad if they do but you still have to wonder what their normal lives are like when they are not at work. Do they volunteer at church or spend all their free time with their smut friends. Do the children play together? I wonder because there has to be some sense of shame. Not everyone has to be proud of what they do in that business and I'm not even going to talk about the guy who has to clean up the set after the scene is done. Someone get a hose.

My 2 bytes.
