Or, in the case of these three women in the UK, if the casting director plays you a video of people having hardcore sex you're either a) auditioning for a porno or b) auditioning for a porno and should take off running before you get jumped...
Equity claims to have received numerous complaints about a production company that calls women in for an audition, ostensibly for a new comedy series with risque humor, then makes them watch pornos and asks them if they "don't mind a little cock and balls in their faces." Umm... isn't this sexual harassment?
Or a bad episode of Casting Cough or First Time Porn Auditions? (You know, compared to the usual really bad episodes?)
One actress reacts: "I thought they were getting us to sign this in case we, as actors,
felt uncomfortable seeing the guy's front while the camera saw his
back. They had planted a seed in our minds that it was like Little
Britain, which does have nudity. They sold it as risque comedy, but
clean at heart."
And another: "In my mind, it was hardcore pornography. To say this is comedy is just
ludicrous. This would not be aired on any terrestrial channel."
What are you talking about, this isn't comedy? Have you seen an episode of First Time Porn Auditions? That's the very definition of comedy, people...
