Judge sez: porn past is still prologue, stay away from kids

A quick google search and I'm not that impressed. She's all right, but by porn standards I dunno.

Meaning you just looked at pics or did you actually watch her at work also?  What I'm saying is that I thought she was a decent performer.

Punishing someone for prior legal protected speech is pretty damn outrageous.  Violating someone's right to earn a living because of it is even worse.

While I agree that she should not have been terminated, I think it would have been pretty tough for her to continue to teach effectively with her students knowing she used to be a porn star.  I think she made a bad decision trying to pursue a teaching career.  Plenty of other options where it would have been much easier for her to preserve her anonymity.

I forget if I ever brought this theory up on here, or if it was somewhere else, but there must be an awful lot of former pornographic actresses (and actors).  I mean, let's assume I've seen 1% of the porn ever made in the U.S.  This is unlikely as fuck, but let's go with that.  I've seen at least 10,000 individual women.  That suggests, taking into account actresses I have seen doing movies I have never seen, perhaps hundreds of thousands or even over a million.

I can't wait for the day when, after downloading Girls Gone Wild: Ohio State Spring Break Vol XXII, Ed sees his girls doing the Michigan back court.

It could happen.

[Ed Anger]

That's cold man.

[CountDeMoney]

Then raise 'em right, dammit.

That way, it'll only be the Creighton back court.

I kinda have a feeling most of the time when people wash out of porn they end up in very menial jobs.  It's probably unusual that they manage to get a job that requires a degree like this particular girl did.

However, I remember a case like this happening before someplace near me (either Kentucky or Missouri), and I think she was also fired by the school.

Even worse, the Butler backcourt.

Supposedly Felicia Fox wants to become a nurse back in her hometown of Enon Ohio.

She'll stick out a bit.

Well, that's true of a lot of positions.  The thing is, most porno jobs (hell, like most law jobs--or, I imagine, nursing jobs or doctor jobs or comic book artist jobs or whatever) aren't really providing you with marketable skills outside of that industry.  I don't think it's something you can singularly criticize pornography for.

But I thought you said they usually got jobs in menial positions?  ZING!

I've read that Nikki Rhodes either dropped out of law school, or withdrew before matriculating, to become a pornographic sensation.  Smart lady.

(Though I've not been able to get serious confirmation on that, i.e. where she attended or at least which school admitted her.)

Yeah, but the difference is that it's kind of hard to do porno for your entire 'career', unlike medicine, law, etc. because it's basically a form of modeling.  On the other hand, the big uptick in MILF porn is good for the female stars since it does allow them to keep going for quite a while.

I think alot of that stuff is probably BS.  Emma Starr claims she used to be an attorney, which I find very hard to believe.... and since usually you don't know their real names, it'd be impossible to verify anyway.

I shouldn't have brought it up because it's my personal axe to grind and no one else's, but just to be clear it's very hard to do law your entire career, too.

Anyway, re: MILF porn, indeed.  And it's good to have for the culture, too.  Compared to other forms of mainstream entertainment, pornography really does do a pretty decent job of depicting all different kinds of women.  I mean, how many fat chicks do you see on TV?  Even kinda fat?  Whereas how many more slightly-to-seriously overweight chicks are in porn?  Racially diverse too--blacks, Asians, Indians.  Does porn objectify women?  Maybe a little, but the nature of the genre is sexual objectification, for men and women, as much as science fiction is about setting up a counter-factual universe or slashers are about gore; that can't really be blamed on it.  And, more positively and more importantly, it also gives young men (and young women) a cross-section of what real women in real life look like and doesn't, for the most part, set up unrealistic standards of beauty.

I actually think that mainstream porn objectifies men more than it does women.  Think about it: in alot of the gonzo style porn, you literally see nothing more than the guy's weiner.... and usually the women are the big stars in porn, not the men.
