I don't really understand why this is okay. I have my own serious issues with Sarah Palin, but I don't see why being in the public eye makes it okay for people to degrade you to this level. I think this is far beyond any sort of fair satire or humour.

There is little to no differences between these type of offers and coercions to do porn than a local street pimp gives to a doped up mom. Once you equate women and their sexuality with a trade, a piece of property, there is no turning back.

Not only is this porn campaign stupid and offensive, it's also a great way for the patriarchy to reduce and belittle women in general. It's equivalent to saying, Here, let's dangle some money in front of whatserface and see if she'll take it up the ass on film. Because, y'know, what could it hurt? If she says no, she's a stuck-up prude. If she says yes, well then, she's a dumb slut and everybody's happy!

Gr. Go 'way, pornbosses.

Is there any difference between the production side of pornography and prostitution? In both cases, you're performing sex acts for money. I know the contracts are worded carefully to get around this legal distinction (i.e., actresses are paid for "one blow job scene," emphatically not "one blow job"), but I don't mean this question in a legal sense. I don't see a distinction. So is this just a way for Vivid (and similar companies) to say: we believe you are whores and would like to encourage the development of this aspect of your personality?"

Well, I think its great that Americans are able to choose one form of sexually exploiting strangers or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex porn or opposite porn. And you know what, in my country, in my family, the Aristocrats, I think that I believe that a porn contract should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be between a man and a woman. And a donkey. Thank you very much.

Oh! Oh! I KNOW!! Maybe we could have a useless celebrity orgy: she could bang John and Kate (minus eight), Alexandra Dupre, Bristol Palin, and Kato Kaelin with a special appearance by John Vomit, er, Bobbitt.

Directed by Paris Hilton, with commentary by Kim K and bonus material (a golden shower tutorial) by R. Kelly and Ray-J.

Here, Vivid, I'll save you the time and money it would take to produce these videos. Carrie Prejean shows up at Sarah Palin's shack in the woods, selling Bibles door-to-door. They bond over their mutual hatred of both women and gays, then have a rip-roarin' good time shooting some wolves. Susan Boyle is in the background (you know, because she's homely) singing about the plight of the single working mother, while Nadya Suleman rounds up her kids for a photo-op. That's it.

Well said. Another thing I think makes it worse in regard to Prejean is it seems a further attempt to slut-shame her. Look at what a hypocrite she is, she's a "cunt" and a "bitch," she takes naked pictures and is offered porn roles!

I'm getting so sick of attacking her this way rather than with logic.

@SevenNationArmy doesn't care about your vegetables: :) I just linked to it in another thread. Although let me say, I don't think this is what Megan is doing here, I think she is just using this instance as a jumping off point for a discussion about womens overall place in society ie. we all seem to be viewed as future porn stars in the making

@bluebears: It's just fucking depressing. I'm no fan of Palin, Suleman or Prejean, but they are in the public eye for doing OTHER THINGS. They're not out there asking people to imagine them naked, fantasize about them, etc. It is fucked up because apparently if a woman is prominent in public, she's going to be judged sexually somehow. Sometimes it makes me never want to leave the fucking house. Blech.

@hortense:

I don't know, these days Playboy is pretty tame, especially with its celebrity shoots where the women are not even naked. It's kind of equivalent to Maxim. And he doesn't do it to people like Nadya Suleman, he does it to people like Heidi Montag who are "hot" and may help sell the magazine. It seems like business to me. Gross business, but not like, shaming offensive business.

@trakkie: See I still think its shaming. He doesn't have to make these offers publicly you know? Plus I've heard him make these offers to non attention/fame seeking women although not recently (I don't think he's that involved and aware these days in the biz)
