Hustler Produces Palin-Lookalike Porn

[meegbear]

Larry Flynt is using the power of porn to express his views on Sarah Palin.

The Hustler founder and freedom of speech advocate has produced an X-rated movie using an adult-film actress who resembles the Republican vice presidential candidate.

Flynt's producers posted an anonymous help-wanted ad on Craigslist in L.A. just days after the Republican convention. "Looking for a Sarah Palin look-alike," read the ad, "for an adult film to be shot in the next 10 days." The actress would be paid $3,000 for the part, said the ad.

Flynt's spokesman David Carrillo confirmed to us yesterday that the film has been shot by Hustler Video, but he wouldn't yet reveal the title.

1. Icky. n/t

[Ilsa]

2. $3,000? That's it? Why are they so cheap? nt

[shadowknows69]

3. I think porn is a lot like professional wrestling, appropriately enough.

I think top tier people probably get paid a lot and the rest get paid shit. I wouldn't dream to know how you gauge the top talent in porn but they actually have an awards show every year lol.

[Naturyl]

4. They aren't going to pay more than they have to.

No business is ever going to pay more than they have to.

Obviously $3k was enough to do the job.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

6. They also get points up front. nt

[Ilsa]

11. points up front? What does that amount to? I don't understand

how these things work in indie (or whatever) films.

[slampoet]

14. I believe "points up front" means a percentage of the take from Gross sales (not net profit)

However I think the post was trying to turn "points up front" into a sexual joke.

[slampoet]

13. Standard porn per diem was $1000 per day in 1997. So $3000 for a one day shoot sounds about right...

....considering the actress will get paid a little more because this is a "Special Fetish" role (like Midgets, Double Anal, or Scat)

[shadowknows69]

15. I highly doubt porn producers are generous enough to give their actors "points" though.

[Occam Bandage]

21. For one day's worth of work? That's on the higher end of things.

Without getting into its long-term effects, porn is pretty good short-term money.

[kenny blankenship]

33. It's a hoax. I'll believe it only when the casting call goes out for both a "Sarah" and a "Bristol"

[guitar man]

5. Wouldn't reveal the title

I've got a good title for it, "Drill Here,Drill Now!!"

:evilgrin:

[bukowskiforever]

72. Don't you mean: "Drill, baby, Drill!?" Yeah, that's right

Drill harder, drill deeper. Yeah baby, go offshore...

[FatDave]

90. As far as you know, I did not almost fall out of my chair laughing at that.

I'm much too high-minded for that sort of humor. I'm always, 100% of the time, above this stuff.

[Fleshdancer]

7. this isn't funny.

Really. WTF is the point?

[Ilsa]

12. I think the whole idea is pretty stupid, but I bet more Republicans

buy the flick. They were the ones getting hot and using that term "MILF".

[Fleshdancer]

16. Either way, it's sad and pathetic.

Not only do we have a female politician being reduced to nothing more than a sexual fantasy for assholes, but now I have to defend Palin because of it and this really pisses me off.

[TuxedoKat]

23. Agreed. (nt)

[Gidney N Cloyd]

26. As an asshole myself, I can assure you I have NEVER had a sexual fantasy about Sarah Palin.

[Lance_Boyle]

30. Hahahaha - you need not defend anything, especially THAT!

If you hate porn so very much, rail on Larry Flynt like all the other "I'm more feminist than you are and what I say goes!" types.

[Fleshdancer]

95. I don't hate porn. I hate doing this to female politicians.

Can you honestly not see the problem with this?

[Ilsa]

38. I hear you. I really don't want to feel any sympathy towards her. nt

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

39. You don't need to defend Palin because of it.

Did you defend Bill Clinton when Flynt used a Bill Clinton look alike in porn?

Lets face it. Sarah Palin lookalike porn is morally superior to Sarah Palin. Or Sarah Palin supporters, for that matter.

[TornadoTN]

53. McCain and his ilk are the ones that have been pushing her looks and "charm"

They've brought out the most under qualified, out of her league candidate that they possibly could have found. They have pushed this "charming", "attractive", "hot", "MILF" and other terms describing her looks for weeks now. It's about all I've heard from the GOP sheep that I work with when it comes to her.

They love the sexual fantasy of her for some reason. Let Flynt make the flick and take the GOP's money as fast as he can.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

56. Pff.

The whole purpose of Sarah Palin is to trick stupid women into voting Republican.

[shadowknows69]

8. Now there's the Larry we know and love

Porn should always be done as parody. Do they still make the cheesy movie and TV rip offs? "Star Whores", "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Poon", "Miami Spice" (real title BTW. Has an impressive underwater blowjob scene.)

[TooBigaTent]

9. I prefer the classic story - ala "How Moist was my Valley?"

[shadowknows69]

10. Old school, I feel that.

I'd still do Nina Hartley or Marilyn Chambers and they're both pushing 80. Ok, I go now.

[geomon666]

40. Ewww...

You obviously haven't seen Marilyn Chambers lately.

[NeedleCast]

17. Nice! Go Larry!

[Ezlivin]

18. Title: "Sarah Spreads Her Democracy"

And it's opening nationwide.

[Occam Bandage]

19. Drill Here, Drill Now.

[msanthrope]

27. The Bush Doctrine----

She learns it, finally......

[TornadoTN]

54. "The Butt Plug to Nowhere"

Staring Joe "Dildo" Lieberman

[Juan_de_la_Dem]

68. DP V.P.

I am a little embarrassed to post this

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

92. The Old Man and the General Erection.

[cobalt1999]

20. I'm sure lots of republican men will be secretly buying it.

Larry will make lots of money.

[OnyxCollie]

22. What happened to the names of hypocritical politicians he said he would release?

Anytime now, Larry...:eyes:

[11 Bravo]

24. Larry decided to cut right to the chase. The working title is "Moose Fucker".

[cherokeeprogressive]

25. And we cheer this because we think he's on our side.

Makes me want to puke.

[NeedleCast]

28. I don't think Larry is on our side

I think Larry is and always has been on Larry's side. I don't neccissarily think of him as a friend to Democrats, but he's certainly an enemy to Republicans so I don't mind him being a thorn in their ass.

[cherokeeprogressive]

29. While that may be true, it makes me ill to see peeps on this board applauding

the total and wanton objectification of women for financial gain. HIS financial gain. I don't care what a person says, supporting ANYTHING LF does is tantamount to supporting the oppression of women. He's a thorn in the ass of women even more so than the rethugs.

[NeedleCast]

37. I'm not going to turn this thread into a porn war thing

suffice to say I disagree.

[Taverner]

44. If you don't like porn, DON'T WATCH IT

That's how it works, rather than trying to take other's rights away

If you feel oppressed and objectified by it, don't watch it.

I feel oppressed and objectified by Sex in the City. And you know what, I don't watch it.

Flynt, love him or hate him, is why you can watch shows on HBO with nudity. He is why you can satirize a politician any way you see fit.

Yes he made money. I'm glad. His stuff is one method of celebrating sexuality. If you are threatened by sex, don't watch it.

[TornadoTN]

57. Bravo and Well Said

I find it very odd that people like this and ultra-fundamentalists are on the same page. It's not as if women are being forced to do porn - they choose to do so and from all accounts, many enjoy the work. Who can argue with that?

[ismnotwasm]

64. You think so?

I alway find it very odd that porn apologists never give a shit about the real life of sex workers. Just close their eyes and pretend what they want to be true is true. Kind of like religious fundies.

[TornadoTN]

66. What are you talking about?

I'm talking about Porn stars - not sex workers in the sense of prostitutes, etc.

There's a whole industry devoted to promoting the stars and the stars make a good amount of money. You think someone is holding a gun to these peoples heads and forcing them to join up? Adults should be able to make decisions on what they want to do with their lives.

I'm not saying that there aren't some instances in porn where people get hoodwinked (no pun intended) or taken advantage of, but to dismiss it outright is - well, contrary to the basic tenants of our society.

[Taverner]

69. And add to it the majority of porn is not done by pro's

Amateur Porn skyrocketed in the 90's, and hasn't gone down.

[TornadoTN]

73. Yes, that's a very important point

There are entire communities on the internet (I wont give them out - do some research if you want them) devoted to amateur pornography. Men and woman, just like us, who enjoy taking photos and posting them on the internet or within their e-community. It's a big business for the site owners and the women by in large are just as active in it as the men.

[Taverner]

75. Yup

Personally, that's my 'flavor' of porn - being I like seeing nekkid housewives - and with digital cameras you no longer have to speculate over a blurry Polaroid reprint to see what she looks like.

But to each his own.

[TornadoTN]

80. You know what they say about great minds?

Great minds think alike. That's my porn preference.

"Hollywood" Porn is just too overdone and the women look either perfect or overdone.

My wife and I (yes my wife!) prefer looking at amateurs/homemade stuff on the occasions that we do look. I don't think we are degrading women in any respect, more appreciating differences and beauty.

[Taverner]

82. Exactly - for me the human body is art

Organic Art

It drives my wife crazy that I don't have a "type" either. She tries to guess my type and I'll come along with appreciation for a totally different body type.

[ismnotwasm]

76. So you think

Every porn worker is a star? No, I know you don't. Trust me on this one, it's not an easy life for some and there are those who don't have much of choice for one reason or another. Understand as well, I think on a global level, not just the good old US. There are pro-sex worker advocates who fight for the health and safety of sex workers every day. Yes, there is a need for this fight beyond any first amendment arguments.

It's the height of hypocrisy to assume it's all about "good" money or simple self promotion and empowerment. Some of those workers get in dire straights.

It's not porn I object to, although I find it misogynist, as much as the industry itself which makes wall street look like a day care.

[Taverner]

85. The industry itself???

You would be surprised how low tech it is.

No not every porn worker is a star. IN fact, the majority of them are amateurs - regular people who like to pose and show themselves. You know 'Misogynist Women who enjoy being oppressed' :eyes:

You know what I find Misogynist? People telling women what they can and can't do with their body. Telling them that their choice of profession is misogynist just because they don't like it.

Like I said earlier, there are no anti-porn feminists. Its about as oxymoronic as Feminists for Life.

[GliderGuider]

99. How is it different from factory work for men? Let's try a little experiment

I'll take your post, but change the words "porn" or "sex" to "factory". Lets see how it reads...

(So you think) Every factory worker is a star? No, I know you don't. Trust me on this one, it's not an easy life for some and there are those who don't have much of choice for one reason or another. Understand as well, I think on a global level, not just the good old US. There are pro-factory worker advocates who fight for the health and safety of factory workers every day. Yes, there is a need for this fight beyond any first amendment arguments.

It's the height of hypocrisy to assume it's all about "good" money or simple self promotion and empowerment. Some of those workers get in dire straights.

It's not factory work I object to, although I find it (misanthropic), as much as the industry itself which makes wall street look like a day care.

Hmmm...

The point is there's just as much alienation, mistreatment and lack of choice in any assembly line work, whether you sell your hands or your sex organs.

[Taverner]

70. And FYI - the life of a prostitute varies from CSW to CSW

Some make $10,000 a night like the Jersey Lolita that went out with Spitzer Swallows

Some make $20 at a time

But most fall somewhere in the middle

The internet has all but destroyed the 'pimp' to the point where he's only a caricature used in Hip Hop Videos. Now days the CSW will hire a 'bouncer' only to step in if she is harassed or unpaid. He usually just charges a percentage of the reclaimed $$$.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

79. Huh.

I always find it really odd that the anti-porn pearl-clutchers secretly masturbate to the really, really nasty shit. At least those who haven't got some sort of biological dysfunction.

[ismnotwasm]

84. Hi Bo!

And here you are, keyboard in hand, so to speak

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

89. Hiya.

Did you enjoy that Man on Chicken link you requested?

[Taverner]

87. LOL

Very true

The more you repress your desires, the weirder they come out (and they will come out)

[anigbrowl]

61. How about the objectification of men?

Those shots of athletic male posteriors aren't there to please male viewers, if you know what I mean.

[MilesColtrane]

67. Presumably the person who took the job was over 18 and mentally competent.

She had the final say in whether she was objectified, or not.

[Taverner]

71. No - we need others to consent for them...

:sarcasm:

There is no such thing as an anti-porn feminist. You are either for women choosing to do what they want with their bodies, or you are NOT a feminist.

[ismnotwasm]

77. Wrong

Wrong and a very silly and ignorant thing to say.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

86. Agreed.

Being against porn and for feminism is like when Sarah Palin calls herself a feminist.

[LanternWaste]

78. I agree with you.

I agree with you...

I make no apologies about it. And I don't watch porn. And I think it's degrading to the human spirit-- all of it. I think it reduces even more what our true potentials would otherwise allow.

And for those who think we should keep my opinions to ourselves because it's different than yours, (which is counter intuitive given the very nature of this forum), "kiss my skinny, fish-belly-white, pimpled butt".

(Notice I didn't tell anyone they couldn't watch it... notice no one has said that)

[TornadoTN]

81. I respect that - but arguing against porn is tantamount to wanting it eradicated

I don't see a middle ground on this one but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I've been known to eat crow before, I suspect I'll do it again at some point.

[LanternWaste]

93. With specificity, please tell me how I am...

With specificity, please tell me how I am either directly or indirect, advocating for a ban of porn by stating I believe it degrades the human condition and objectifies the individual?

A valid answer to that question would have me eating crow. Are we to keep our mouths shut on all things that we believe reduce our humanity whilst still legal and within the parameters of contemporary social mores? If that is indeed the case, then most of us would have stay silent 90% of the time I'd guess.

May we take your statement, "arguing against porn is tantamount to wanting it eradicated" and replace 'porn' with 'republican' for the sake of argument. Do we want a ban on people making the personal choice to be a Republican (a serious, albeit rhetorical question)? Don't we, almost to a person argue against both the republican ideals and republicans as individuals on DU? Does your statement then mean we want a legal ban preventing anyone from making that choice?

This is not intended as snark-- but I'm having a seriously bad afternoon. Take me with sincerity, as that is how it meant regardless of how it comes across.

[Taverner]

96. Got news for you: Your job, your clothes, and your bank accounts all objectify you

We are an object related society, so naturally objectification will always happen.

Ever hear the term "prostitution of labor"?

So why is objectification in sexual way bad
But objectification in a monetary sense good?

[LanternWaste]

100. I'm afraid I don't see how the shirt I'm wearing objectifies me.

I'm afraid I don't see how the shirt I'm wearing objectifies me. As far as I know, it's merely protecting me from this morning's early drizzle. Possibly you think I'm wearing it for a different reason. I happen to believe that intent (or means to and end) is just as important as the goal (or the end reached).

Yet as this is all perception, each one no less nor nor more valid than any other (all things being equal), then your opinion that I'm objectified and degraded by my shirt is neither greater nor less than my opinion that pornography is degrading


But allow me to re-qualify my statement if we take your statement as valid. It would then follow that objectification, like any human construct may be either positive or negative. I imagined that even in the worst case scenario, that would have been implicit in my position-- but I guess not. Thus, I imagine some people would be forced to state that, although pornography objectified the individual, it must objectify the individual in a positive way.

Suppose I should clarify, the 'real' Palin.

63. She agreed,but only if there is no interview.

65. Oooh Bad!!

Clever though.

[Warren DeMontague]

52. Love ya Larry; but the primary purpose of porn IMHO is to arouse & facilitate masturbation...

...this concept fails on both fronts.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

55. Ah, but a lesser purpose is satire.

Like Falwell and his mom in his outhouse.

He's killing three birds with one stone. Making money with assorted rednecks who actually purchase this porn. Making liberals laugh. And causing outrage among all sorts of snivelling pissants, which I say justifies the means in and of itself.

[Warren DeMontague]

58. Oh, I'm certainly not outraged. nt

[reflection]

60. One thing's for sure...

it won't just be Putin rearing his head and coming into Palin's space...

I've wasted enough breath on that fuckwad.

[BeHereNow]

98. Bwahaha! Brilliant way to express social criticism of the American sheeple, if you ask me.

No one has mentioned it on this thread, but I would like
to suggest the possibility that the motivation behind this
endeavor is NOT to make a porn film, but a scathing critique
of the popular culture that has produced a nation of morons
and hypocrites.

The very same x-tian cretins who claim Palin is
a woman of Gawd are the very same people
slipping in the alley door of their local porn shops.

I think it is brilliant of Flynt.
The ultimate "calling out" of the most
hypocritical people among our citizenry.
