Today in WTF: PG Porn

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

It seemed like a decent YouTube video idea at first, like SFW porn: make a porn movie, with porn stars, that features no actual on-screen sex. (It's called "Hollywood," stupid.) Hilarious, right? 

Well, not only does PG porn come off as a complete waste of time, but it's now being attacked as being-- ironically enough-- more misogynist than actual porn...


Nailing Your Wife

We're not sure why he had to kill her with a nail gun-- is that the only way the filmmakers could think of cutting the "porn" short before it got to Actual Pornography? In any case, Theresa Darklady Reed, a feminist blogger on Huffington Post has already attacked the Gunns for their exploitation of women, namely the part where the guy shoots the woman in the head with a nail gun. 

The Gunn brothers apparently consider violence against women to be not just acceptable but sexy, so long as nobody actually gets laid or engages in any wet spot to erogenous zone contact.

Actually, it's supposed to be a joke, we're pretty sure, and even if it were an offensive one, it's clearly not James Gunn's intention to look down on the female gender for its "cheating ways." However, we're not sure what the point of the video is either, besides an attempt at a goofy internet video gone wrong...

Nathan Fillion is a screen an television actor known best for his appearances in the television series Firefly and the movie Serenity.  Aria Giovanni is a well-known porn star.  I doubt Nathan Fillion would be doing this if it were not for the humor value, and I'm pretty sure Aria Giovanni wouldn't sign on to anything that would hurt her career (ex. a soft-core-porn-cum-snuff-film).

I only clicked through because I thought that still looked an awful lot like Nathan Fillion... and sure enough. It's hard for me to be mad about anything he's done.

I saw this last week (I, too, watched for Nathan Fillion) - and I thought it was hilarious.  Then again, most of the stuff that feminist types are getting lathered up about these days, I don't find offensive, either.
