1. I figured this would happen.
I knew sooner or later, something like this would happen.

I'm no prude whatsoever, but I'm a realist.
I knew damn well that even with condoms, testing them, someone would "fall through the cracks."

Don't forget also, John Holmes, ("Johnny Wadd,") died of AIDS.
(Most likely he got it from the times he had so many gay partners for money, so he'd have money for cocaine.)

2. I feel bad
no matter how much you may disapprove of their actions, no one deserves a fate like this. I agree that the industry needs to police itself much tighter and people need to be informed of the risks before they start in an industry like this. This is sad.

3. So what?
I'm not a big fan, but even if I was, so what? There are probably MILLIONS of hours of explicit porn on film in this country alone. One could never watch it all. Who cares if it's new or not - it does the job.

It's a shame somebody got sick, but I would hope that anyone getting into that line of work would think about that possibility...

4. This is now a dupe
I'm leaving the newer one open because it's less explicit.
