WEBVTT - Chapter 12: Heel Turn 0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:09.080 As a DVD business goes down, it's going to evolve 0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:13.880 into the video on demand business. Stephen Hirsch Vivid Entertainment. 0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:18.079 At the end of the day, sex workers are just 0:00:18.200 --> 0:00:22.160 regular people. Our culture has to end the stigma surrounding 0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:26.639 not just sex workers, but sex itself. Only then will 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:31.000 real change come. Asa Akira performer. 0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:37.080 Information just comes and goes so quickly, or it can 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:40.640 be misconstrued. It can be a very sarcastic person, and 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:46.640 sometimes people take every word I say literally. Sasha Gray performer. 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:53.279 No one really buys records anymore. You can look at 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:57.720 sales and do that mack real quick. Unfortunately, it's fast 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:03.080 food in the music industry. People don't ingest full records anymore. 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:06.160 Tommy Lee musician. 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:12.440 Porno is the last form of entertainment that is a 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:16.480 multi billion dollar business that doesn't take care of the 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:17.759 people that created. 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:20.720 There are vocational schools for everything. 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:24.680 There ought to be one for porn. Kid Rock. 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:30.680 I will never spread my legs in this industry again. 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:51.040 Jenna Jamison, Welcome to General World. Welcome back to General World. 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:56.640 I'm your host, Molly Lambert. This is episode twelve. Heel Turn. 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:03.280 There's only two types of people in the world, the 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:07.840 ones that entertain and the ones that observe. Thus spake 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:11.440 the great American philosopher Britney spears on the title track 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.320 of her two thousand and eight album Circus The Year 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:19.320 After the First iPhone is released. On January twelfth, two 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:23.080 thousand and eight, the twenty fifth Annual Adult Video News 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.440 Awards ceremony is held at the Mandalay Bay Event Center 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.520 in Paradise, Nevada, on the southern end of the Las 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:35.960 Vegas Strip. Thirty four year old Jenna Jamison takes the 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:39.480 stage at the Avens in a necklace with strands of 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:44.480 dripping diamonds, black platform heels, and a long silk leopard 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.639 print dress with super skinny straps that I'd bet money 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:52.320 is by designer Roberto Cavalli. Jenna's feathered blonde hair is 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.720 piled up on the right side of her head with 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:59.160 bangs swooping over her right eye. She sports her trademark 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:02.800 rim of dark eyeliner and shadow with a frosted nude lip. 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.240 Jenna goes up to the podium mic to present an 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:10.800 award named after her, he Jenna Jamison Crossover Star of 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:11.680 the Year Award. 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:16.000 Wow. 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:18.600 This is monumental. 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.440 Really, I remember getting in this industry when I was 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.560 eighteen years old. I know a lot of you girls 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.240 are brand new and this doesn't seem like much to you, 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.320 but I remember when they were about five hundred people 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:35.560 in the audience. So this is huge and I feel 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.040 really proud that I kind of paved the way for 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:39.760 this kind of mainstream exposure. 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.360 And it's apropos that this award is named after me. 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:49.200 The crossover Star of the year. Right now, it's been 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:50.200 a little bit. 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.280 Of a rocky year for me. I think you're all aware. 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:57.920 I've been in the tabloids. Everyone's speculating about what's going 0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:58.640 on with Jenna. 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.960 Why is she so? Why is she crazy? Why is 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:08.000 she divorced? Oh wait, I'm not divorced. Yeah, it's been 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.640 a crazy year for me. But I do have to 0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.200 say just to bring you all up to speed, because 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:16.200 I love you all. You're like my family. 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:23.200 Everything's beautiful, everything is amazing in my life. 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.440 I have a beautiful man who takes care of me 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.279 and accepts me. I'm lucky. 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:34.880 I'm so lucky, and I really want to be honest 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.600 for a sec and I want to let everybody know 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:41.120 that I know us Weekly came out it said that 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:45.679 I was retiring, I was done with the industry, and 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:47.880 then I had to come back and talk about the 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:51.000 fact that I wasn't done because Club Jenna is one 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:54.479 of the biggest forces in this industry by far in 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:54.920 a way. 0:04:55.920 --> 0:05:02.719 But but honesty is key, and honesty is key. 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:11.440 I will never ever ever spread my legs again in 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:17.320 this industry ever. But I love every one of you 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:22.279 and thanks for the support. So moving right along, the 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.520 nominees for the Crossover Star of the Year are. 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.760 The audience, made up almost entirely of people who work 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.760 in the adult industry, gasps in shock at Jenna's sudden 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:39.039 heel turn. They are stunned by her blatant show of 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.800 disrespect for the business that made her a wealthy and 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:47.720 famous superstar. The audience starts booing Jenna. Her new boyfriend, 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.719 Tito Ortiz is in the audience. He throws up a 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:57.000 piece sign on camera in support of Jenna. Then Jenna 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.920 lists the names of the nominees for the Jenna Jamison 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.560 Crossover Star of the Year Award and announces that this 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:09.320 year's winner is Stormy Daniels. Stormy Daniels comes on stage 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.440 to accept her award from Jenna and breaks the tension 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.520 in the room. 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:18.240 I love you, Jenna, but I'm going to spread my 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:22.720 legs a little longer Stormy Daniels performer. 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.800 The reaction from folks in the porn industry to Jenna's 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.080 big announcement is swift. 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:35.919 I don't know what the hell is going on with 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:39.279 miss Jamison. When I discovered her, she was a beautiful, 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:42.520 little nineteen year old girl. I didn't recognize her at 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:45.920 the AVIN Awards last year. She had bones sticking out, 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:48.360 but this year her face doesn't even look like Jenna. 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.400 Randy West performer. 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:58.360 Meanwhile, another retired porn superstar, Heather Hunter, is still trying 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.720 to break into mainstream rap music. She finds that while 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:05.239 artists love writing rap lyrics about her and being seen 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.559 with her, that doesn't necessarily help her when it comes 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.120 to promoting her own music. 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.800 What people may not expect is how serious I am 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.560 about this. I really want people to take me seriously. 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:24.000 Being retired from the adult industry nearly thirteen years ago, 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.160 I think I've done enough in the mainstream business and 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.280 I want to be accepted as an equal as an artist. 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.720 I'm going from my respect whether they give it to 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:34.840 me or not. Heather Hunter. 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:40.720 Performer Heather Hunter puts out a rap album called Double 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:44.360 H The Unexpected, working with big name producers like Scott 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:48.120 Storch and DJ Premier. She gets back into making art too, 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.600 debuting her Hunter collection of paintings at the Front Street 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:52.720 Gallery in Brooklyn. 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.280 When you come from the adult film business, people feel 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.200 like that's all you. But I made it happen. I 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:03.240 got into music and signed a deal with Island Records, 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.000 and then I signed with Tommy Boy Records. After that, 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:10.240 I've worked with Scott Storch, DJ Premier, y Cleb Jean, 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:12.960 and all my friends that were supporting what I was 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.040 doing and helping me change my life. I wrote a 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.080 novel and I opened an art gallery in Brooklyn. I 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.679 had a show on Playboy TV with Sir Mix a Lot, 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.120 and I ended up getting my own show on BET 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:28.440 called The Peep Show. I have two online magazines. You 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.520 have a lot of adult stars that can't get into 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:35.120 magazines like Smooth and Maxim. I'm creating publications to showcase 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:38.839 them in a very classy way. 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.679 Heather Hunter, like Jenna, is in many ways almost too 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:46.400 ahead of her time. Pretty soon every adult performer will 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:50.040 also have to be a multimedia brand with several income streams. 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.920 While the contract girl model will start to become outmoded, 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:57.960 the cult of personality around certain cornstars won't die out 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.920 with the collapse of the studio system. It will just 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:05.959 shift online. Just as Jenna steps down from her post 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.880 as the queen of porn, a new class of porn 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:13.199 stars inspired by Jenna are coming up. These new two 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:16.280 thousands porn stars have a different route into the industry 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:20.000 as well. The old path that Jenna and most female 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:24.080 performers took from stripping to girly mags to adult movies 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:28.400 has been washed away. Now there's just one way into 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.760 the porn industry, the Internet. 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.680 I don't want to segregate it from art, because for me, 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.680 it is art. I think a lot of people don't 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:40.880 look at it that way, but I do. 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:46.240 In two thousand and six, a new class of performers 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.840 that will come to define the Internet era of porn 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:52.960 enter the industry. Just as Jenna was the porn star 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:57.040 who bridged the VHS and DVD eras, these new stars 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.760 will emerge as the figureheads of the Internet era pornography. 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.400 One such performer, is a Jean Luke Dard loving goth 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:09.480 girl whose stage name is Sasha Gray. Born Marina Ann 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:13.600 Hans a Pisces. She grows up in a working class 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:17.120 family in Sacramento, California, and gets into porn because she 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:19.520 feels like she isn't seeing the kind of content she 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:23.440 wants and aims to make it herself. Sasha Gray makes 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:27.560 her name with intense extreme sex scenes. She works with 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:32.440 performers like Rocco Safreddi, who'd recently returned from retirement. A 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:36.040 performer named Joanna Angel, a Jewish capricorn from New York 0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:40.000 born Joanna mostav starts her own alt porn website called 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:43.720 Burning Angel after working for the similarly themed punk porn 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:47.320 adult pinup site Suicide Girls and being a contract girl 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:52.320 at VCA. Burning Angel brings Club Jenna's model of performers 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:57.360 running their own adult studio imprints to the Internet. Another 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:01.880 new superstar is Assa a kir Uh. 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.640 I have sex for money, so I'm not a feminist. 0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.040 I portray sexual fantasies on screen for entertainment, so I'm 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:11.960 not a feminist. I like to wear makeup and feel sexy, 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.880 so I'm not a feminist. Fuck you, I'm a feminist. 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:20.719 Asa Takagami is a five foot one brunette capricorn from 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:24.480 New York City. The only child of a photographer father 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:28.640 and businesswoman mother, Assa spends her childhood between New York 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:32.400 and Tokyo. She goes to a private school for international 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:35.760 students her freshman year, gets expelled for low grades and 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:37.320 finishes at a public school. 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.000 There was a time in my life when I had 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:44.360 a five year plan. I was gonna do porn for 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.640 two years, save my money and use it to open 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.920 a yoga studio. But now it's a decade later, and 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:52.640 I barely even do yoga anymore. 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:57.600 Takagami joins the porn industry in two thousand and six 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:01.960 using the stage name Asa Akira. She uses her real 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:05.880 first name, which translates to Mourning in Japanese, and takes 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.560 her last name from the nineteen eighty eight cyberpunk anime 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:14.439 classic Akira. Akira takes on the position of intelligent, charismatic, 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:20.000 feminist public spokesperson for the porn industry, newly vacated by Jenna. 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.520 The fans and supporters are not the problem. It's the 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.080 people who are anti porn or at least wished to 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:30.640 appear so. By anti porn, I don't mean someone who 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:34.120 doesn't watch porn. I mean someone who assumes all sex 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:37.960 workers must be damaged or morally corrupt. I mean someone 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.240 who says, oh, but you're too pretty to do porn, 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:43.040 refusing to take a woman at her word when she 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.600 says she chooses to do porn because she wants to. Well, 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.800 I'm sure many of these people are perfectly nice and 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:53.239 well intentioned, and some of them probably even watch porn. 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.600 They're adding to the stigma surrounding sex workers, and we 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:58.439 are not second class citizens. 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.400 Sasha Gray also goes on the Tyra Banks Show, where 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:06.520 Tyra gives her the exact same full court press that 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:10.720 Jerry Springer once gave Jenna. Sasha Gray defends herself in 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:15.199 the industry in her trademark deadpan goth style, and Tyra, 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:21.920 like Jerry, totally ignores what she's saying. As smartphones become 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:26.560 popular in tandem with tube sites, now anyone can access 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:30.240 a vast, secret world of pornographic content in their pocket 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:34.800 whenever they want. As porn becomes more accessible than ever, 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:38.160 getting an audience to pay attention to new releases is 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:42.240 also harder than has ever been, so porn, which has 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:46.280 always relied on gimmicky premises to catch attention, goes all in. 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:51.440 Due to how fast culture moves now online, the content 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:56.439 cycle is hitting warp speed. So a few days after 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.800 the two thousand and eight Republican National Convention makes Alaskan 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:04.320 god Governor Sarah Palin a topic of national conversation, Hustler Inc. 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:08.040 Puts an ad up on Craigslist offering a three thousand 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:11.280 dollars sum for a Sarah Palin look alike willing to 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.959 start in a pornographic film. Within the next ten days, 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.080 a thirty six year old adult performer named Lisa Ann 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:23.920 Corpora answers and wins the role of Sarah Palin. Lisa 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:27.040 Ann Ataurus had been in and out of performing since 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.800 the nineties, also working as a stripper and running a 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:33.440 day spot. In two thousand and five, she becomes a 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:37.040 talent agent for La Direct Models, scouting female performers who 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.040 are aged thirty plus for the new boom in milf content. 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:45.160 While other agencies reject or drop female performers for allegedly 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:48.600 aging out. Lisa Anne sees that there is a huge 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:52.280 unmet demand for content with women of a certain age 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:56.720 with huge tits and big asses. Now, is the milf 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.320 really a feminist reflection of the shift in women's role 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:03.640 since the section, or is it just another impossible beauty 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:05.800 standard foisted on women that says they now have to 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:10.840 stay hot forever. I'm going with both. I only wish 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:14.200 Susan Sontag, who wrote a famous essay lamenting the female 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:18.160 beauty standard requiring eternal youthfulness, had lived to see the 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:22.920 rise of milk porn. To prepare to play Sarah Palin 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:26.240 in the porn parody Who's Nail and Palin, Lisa Ann 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.760 closely studies Tina Fey's impression of Sarah Palin on Saturday 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.920 Night Live, as well as tapes of Palin at debates. 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.560 She buys her own skirt suits that Macy's and tailors 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:40.240 the tops lower and the skirts higher and tighter. The 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.480 Sarah Palin porn parody raises a lot of new questions 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:48.840 about free speech, politics, and sex. The discourse and Republican 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.200 outrage over Who's Nail in Palin helps promote the movie 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:59.120 on programs like the Fox Network show America's Newsroom. 0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:03.040 Your Average American. It's a It's disgusting, it's dirty, They 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:06.520 wouldn't want to see it. Is this whole thing actually legal? 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.160 Might there be some actual confusion to the non educated 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:16.920 mind out there? Megan Kelly Fox News, Maybe. 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.080 Some crazy right wing activists will try and burn my 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:23.240 house down, But I put myself in that target spot. 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:27.040 And it is what it is. Lisa Ann performer. 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:32.400 Megan Kelly has a defense attorney on her Fox show 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:36.560 to argue whether Sarah Palin has any legal recourse. The 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.680 defense attorney suggests that Palin could try seeking an injunction 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.840 to block the movie's release before the election, but he 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:46.840 ultimately thinks there's no case against Hustler because Hustler already 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:50.360 won its nineteen ninety eight First Amendment case against Jerry Folwell, 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:55.000 which ruled that celebrities cannot sue for parody. Hustler makes 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:59.120 sure the film clearly announces itself as parody, which, by 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.120 the way, is all so the defense we're using for 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.320 this podcast. 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:07.560 Whatever you think of Larry Flint, the man knows his 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:08.360 First Amendment. 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:14.640 The Internet introduces new gray areas as to what constitutes 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:18.480 parody and whether the average viewer understands that movies are 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:22.240 not the same thing as reality. Megan Kelly is also 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:25.600 purporting that television news channels like Fox News are depicting 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:30.159 an accurate reality, which they are purposely not. But in 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:32.600 two thousand and eight, it's still sort of taken for 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:36.040 granted that viewers know that screen images are not real life. 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:40.239 Is it misogynist to sexualize Sarah Palin and portray her 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.639 as a ravenous, dumbass milf who fucks Russian soldiers in 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.359 a fake bill O'Reilly in order to demean her career 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:47.199 as a politician? 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:48.240 Yes? 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:54.439 Does she suck? Also? Yes, should any politicians fuckability or 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:57.440 perceived lack of fuckibility ever be on the table? 0:17:58.040 --> 0:17:58.119 No? 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:05.120 Is Whose Nail? And Palin Legal? Yes, definitely Who's Nail? 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:08.960 In Palin co starring Nina Hartley as Hillary Clinton and 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:12.720 Jada Pire as Conda Lisa Rice is released on November fourth, 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:16.880 two thousand and eight, election day. It's a huge hit 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:20.480 that gets lots of mainstream press coverage, drives Lisa Ann's 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:24.159 Google search results way up, and sells a lot of DVDs. 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:29.840 Lisa Ann becomes the public face and body of milfporn. 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:34.440 It spawns sequels where Lisa Ann's Palin Nails performers playing 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:37.800 Barack Obama and David Letterman not at the same time. 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:42.960 The Nail in Palin sequels debut online with no physical 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:44.200 media release planned. 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:50.280 Right now, the scene is only available online with no 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:54.840 plans in the immediate future from putting it on a DVD. 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:59.320 Rick Hits Hustlers Online. 0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:04.560 Editor Hustler claims that putting the clip up only online 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:07.600 drove two hundred and fifty percent more traffic than usual 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:11.320 to the site. Internet traffic is the new metric of 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:17.120 success rather than DVD sales, but internet traffic doesn't necessarily 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:20.840 automatically translate into money the way that DVD sales do. 0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:24.919 Performers like Lisa Ann are banking on building enough of 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:28.040 a following to attract fans to their strip club tour gigs, 0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:30.240 where they can make real money live in person off 0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:34.720 customers who saw them in porn films. Some performers also 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:38.040 do escorting to make more money, which has moved from 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:41.440 the literal back pages of alternative weeklies and adult listings 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:47.400 like Hollywood Press onto websites like Backpage. It's becoming harder 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:51.240 to monetize performing because of the collapse of physical media 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:54.280 sales as well. As the two thousand and eight recession, 0:19:54.720 --> 0:20:00.159 which cuts down on customers disposable income. Performers and civilian 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:03.280 alike are being forced to branch out into side hustles 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:07.439 and build out their personal brands online. There's also a 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:12.840 new type of work called independent contracting. Classifying workers as 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:16.639 such enables companies to withhold standard aspects of jobs like 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:21.160 health insurance. It's especially prevalent in new industries involving tech, 0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:24.840 whose move fast, break things ethos means breaking labor laws. 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:29.960 An economic downturn begins coinciding with the end of the 0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:34.960 American Empire, and while adult performers have more control over 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:38.480 selling their own content than ever, that control is now 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:40.919 subject to the whims of a new class of social 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:44.920 media billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg, who punish and shadow band, 0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:48.800 sex workers, and civilians online for posting whatever content they 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:52.840 consider to be lewd, while allowing mainstream celebrities to skirt 0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:59.959 the rules. When General World returns, Pirates gets a sequel. 0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:21.000 Oh yeah, welcome back to General World digital playgrounds. Pirates 0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:23.720 gets a sequel with a budget of eight million dollars. 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:28.520 Pirates to Stagneti's Revenge is the highest budget porn film 0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:33.400 ever made, octupling the budget of the original Pirates. Pirates 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:37.320 two will also be the last ever high budget narrative 0:21:37.400 --> 0:21:42.800 pornographic film in history. Samantha Lewis of Digital Playground acts 0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:45.800 oblivious to the storm that is sweeping the industry as 0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:47.520 DP promotes Pirates Too. 0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:53.480 I dealt with the Cleveland Boys, the Philadelphia Boys, the 0:21:53.560 --> 0:21:57.359 New York boys, and they eventually figured out that I 0:21:57.520 --> 0:22:02.720 talked business too. Samantha Lewis Digital Playground. 0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:08.240 Samantha Lewis becomes the talent point of contact and Shepherd's 0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:11.520 the careers of the final era of porn studio contract 0:22:11.520 --> 0:22:16.080 girls stars like Tigan Presley, Jesse Jane and Tara Patrick. 0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:20.480 I tell them that this is porn and that this 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:23.840 is a family. But if they think they're gonna walk 0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:26.760 out of this job, the next Julian roberts that they're 0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:29.479 in the wrong place. I make sure to grill these 0:22:29.520 --> 0:22:31.199 girls before we offer a contract. 0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:36.960 Before you sign up porn contract, don't forget to trademark 0:22:37.000 --> 0:22:39.880 your own name. Don't make less money than your manager. 0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:43.040 Tara Patrick performer. 0:22:45.200 --> 0:22:49.920 According to Tara Patrick, Samantha Lewis was allegedly as financially 0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:54.439 exploitative of talent as any scumbag mail. I mean, she 0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:55.960 was previously a realtor. 0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:04.520 I've been criticized. Why I've been brutalized. Anybody who criticizes me, 0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:09.720 anybody who is just a jealous guy. Everybody who says, oh, 0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:12.200 Joe Francis is this, Look at the penis and tell 0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:12.800 me if it's small. 0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:14.159 Tell me. 0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:18.200 It's been widely reported that my penis is huge. But look, 0:23:18.240 --> 0:23:23.399 I have nothing to prove. Joe Francis producer. 0:23:25.119 --> 0:23:28.640 Joe Francis's Girls Gone Wild tapes have also moved from 0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:32.960 being sold on TV infomercials to being fully online. Joe 0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:37.439 Francis gets charged in court with sexual exploitation for failing 0:23:37.480 --> 0:23:41.240 to uphold two two five seven, the rule requiring documented 0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:44.440 proof of age verification for all adult content. 0:23:46.480 --> 0:23:47.399 I have private jets. 0:23:47.440 --> 0:23:49.840 I have a great life. I'm a good looking guy. 0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:53.840 I'm not conceited, but like I have girls around me 0:23:53.920 --> 0:23:56.640 all the time. Whatever I want. I make a lot 0:23:56.680 --> 0:23:59.359 of money. It's a great life. If I wasn't me, 0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:00.560 I'd fucking hate me. 0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:06.679 And while she has renounced porn, Jenna continues to plug 0:24:06.720 --> 0:24:09.280 her book and brand on her never ending press tour 0:24:09.480 --> 0:24:12.080 by doing esquires what I've learned column. 0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:17.720 I hate getting political and stuff, but when really right 0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:20.960 wing people get into office, they worry about things that 0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:24.159 should be the least of our worries. Whether or not 0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:26.960 I'm getting a doggy style from a black man should 0:24:27.040 --> 0:24:28.120 not be their concern. 0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:29.320 They should be. 0:24:29.320 --> 0:24:31.600 Worrying about healthcare, about our. 0:24:31.480 --> 0:24:36.160 Homeless, about the war, how about bringing the troops home? 0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:38.560 Homie crazy. 0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:44.480 After announcing her retirement, Janine Linda Moulder also returned to 0:24:44.520 --> 0:24:48.760 the porn industry and starred in Janine Loves Jenna. Janine 0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:51.159 is getting written up in the press, but not for 0:24:51.240 --> 0:24:52.160 her screenwork. 0:24:54.440 --> 0:24:56.320 You know this is my daughter. 0:24:57.200 --> 0:24:58.879 I'm the best mother I can be. 0:25:00.320 --> 0:25:01.680 Janine Linda Mulder. 0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:08.000 Performer Janine is tried in federal court for tax evasion. 0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:12.080 She owes the Internal Revenue Service two hundred thousand dollars 0:25:12.480 --> 0:25:14.200 and admits that she knew this when she bought a 0:25:14.320 --> 0:25:17.720 Jeep and a seven hundred thousand dollars house in Eugene, Oregon. 0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:23.040 Her ex husband, West Coast Choppers TV personality Jesse James 0:25:23.400 --> 0:25:26.920 is now married to mainstream movie star Sandra Bullock. When 0:25:27.000 --> 0:25:30.879 Jeanine is sentenced to jail for tax evasion, Jesse James 0:25:30.880 --> 0:25:34.480 and Sandra Bullock take full custody of Janine and Jesse's daughter, Sonny. 0:25:35.400 --> 0:25:38.560 When Jeanine is released after six months, she lobbies for 0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:41.240 more visitation rights to see her five year old child, 0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:44.879 which have been reduced to weekly daytime visits. 0:25:46.359 --> 0:25:48.760 I myself have stopped working like I used to in 0:25:48.840 --> 0:25:51.040 order to be here with Jesse and the kids, because 0:25:51.080 --> 0:25:53.760 we are in constant high alert, never really knowing what 0:25:53.800 --> 0:25:57.080 condition Janine will be in and even more concerning the 0:25:57.119 --> 0:25:58.399 condition Sonny will be in. 0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:01.359 Actress. 0:26:03.240 --> 0:26:07.320
