I think is but if think not feel free say so. Yes cut past but good enough be cut past here.

Evil Angel Director Glenn King on Slim Pickens’ site announced that he was going to use condoms in his movies, not only because it was the law but that he was going to kick in a $25 rebate to each performer for testing, besides.

“It’s probably more notable that I’m paying each performer a $25 testing subsidy with each scene,” said King.

“I think it’s wishful thinking when someone says ‘the performers make plenty of money. If they can’t afford more testing they should sell some of their gucci purses’ and its equally naive to think that producers are making so much money that we can easily afford to pay for testing.

“The big money days in porn are long gone,” King goes on to say.

“For almost every producer I know, every extra dollar that comes out of our pocket is painful.”

Those are the statements which Rob Black, doing the math on his Tuesday afternoon show, called bullshit.

“Glenn King at Evil Angel is some kind of great guy that goes all condom,” Black observed.

“I see people talking and debating that. To me it’s a non factor. Somebody asked me who is Glenn King which is funny in of itself. We’re talking about a guy who says he’s going to use condoms because it’s the law.

“He does this entire spiel about there’s going to be a whole song and dance about pro choice. First off, if you’re going to use the law, you can go to Glendale, Pasadena to shoot. Not that it’s healthier or safer that you’re going to use condoms?

“Than what you [King] say is retarded stuff,” Black continued.

“You’re going to pay each performer a $25 rebate. What is $25? Glenn King you’re such a scumbag. Glenn King is a douche bag. If this isn’t corporate American talking about extra dollars coming out of your pocket. And Glenn King is paying $25. Wow.

“That won’t pay for gas to the set, you fucking jerk off. Every extra dollar out of our pocket is painful. What these assholes forget is, they make it up tenfold with comps and ‘best ofs’.

“Every one of you girls who’s ever been in a movie will never make another dime. When Glenn King talks about this big pocketbook hurt, I bet if you go through the Mean Bitches library you will finds comps of yourself, that whole hundred extra bucks he paid talent for one movie is going to come out in an extravaganza.

“Glenn King will edit and put that movie together for nothing. If he’s a real director he does that, and it costs nothing. He now has a movie that is free that he’s given you this whopping $25 for. he packages it in a DVD- you can get packaging for $.45 cents times 2,000 pieces. He lays out 900 bucks for replication.

“If it’s double disc maybe it’s $1800. To have the sleeves made are four cents and you got to run 5,000. Add $200 for your sleeves. I imagine Glenn King authors his movie, with artwork maybe $500. We’re at $3500 for a comp.

“Glenn King puts together 2,000 pieces ready to be shipped and he’s going to charge $18. That’s $36,000 and out of that $36,000 his cost is $4000?

“Can you tell me how these extra dollars coming out of producers pockets are painful? If Evil Angel says they don’t move 2,000 pieces I guess they lie to everybody.

“Glenn King you slimy little piece of shit. Take your $25 and you shoot four guys, four girls, you’re talking $200 you stupid fuck. You guys are from Evil Angel and brag how you’re the number one company. Glenn King, you are insane and live in a bubble called Evil Angel. You’re a joke, dude.

“Glenn you’re such a rebel. Go to Glendale and shoot without condoms. You are a punk, a little piece of shit. Glenn King, it’s very simple. Every talent you shoot give them $150. That’s $1050 that goes to a test for them at a later consideration then you will be supporting the performers.

“Do that every shoot that means you’re contributing $15,000 to the health and safety of all the performers which is less than you make on one comp. See how simple that is? The rich don’t want to pay.

“When you work for the number one studio in the business and you get the number one prices wouldn’t it be safe to say you’re making more money than all the other producers, and if you’re not, then you’re doing something wrong.

“If you’re shooting 15 movies a year and are averaging $19,000 on every movie that’s almost $300,000 a year. Fuck you. You guys really are pathetic. You act like all this stuff is complicated. It’s not. Apparently our business is too stupid to get on the side of a public health issue because we listen to Christian Mann, Diane Duke, John Stagliano, and in turn what we get is what we got and it’s fucking garbage. Unbelievable garbage, Amazing.

I’d like to hook this bullshit detector to Diane Duke’s ass and see how long it takes to blow the needle into the sky! You would need a SHIT X 10,000,000,000 scale on the bottom of this thing to make it work on her lying ass. The same is true for Gene Ross and Rob “meth addict” Black.

“We are not against condoms. We are for choice. We leave that decision up to you, the producer. We support your decision 100%. We are much more interested in whether you can bring us content that is compelling, unique, and marketable”. ~Christian Mann (paraphrased.) LOL! I wonder how much time, rewriting, and editing was involved in coming up with this “paraphrased” quote?

I generally believe in being civil on Mike’s site, and respecting views that I might otherwise disagree with if they’re well-stated. Reasonable people can disagree and all that.

Generally. The above post about nanny state and personal freedom basically ignores how pretty much every other business in America works. Business is regulated. Businesses that can impact the health of the workers and the public are especially regulated. Prostitution in Nevada is an example.

Under 33fins argument, no one puts a gun to the head of a woman who chooses to work at the bunny ranch. Hence, Dennis Hof should be free to require his gals to do any act he or a John can think of without regard to safety providing a John is willing to pay for it. Similarly, if Kink.com wants to burn women with cigarettes or branding irons, kick them in the head, or use a paddle with thumb tacks for the sake of authenticity, well, why should we stop them? No one is putting a gun to their head.

Under this theory, we’d no longer require hard hats on construction sites; earplugs and eye wear in factories; latex gloves in dentists offices – or my urologist’s. After all, no one is forcing me to get a prostate exam.

No point in trying to reason with someone who thinks catching a disease is just another day at the office. His masturbation habits are more important than human life and welfare, and that says something. Before you go let me hook up the air hose and get those tires aired up.

33fins, you just don’t get it. Take all of your arguments and in place of porn insert any other occupation where there’s a risk of exposure to blood born pathogens. Nurse, EMT, dental hygienist, etc. Wearing gloves or masks is not optional.

@33fins –
Oh, COME ON, you could have at least tried.

I’m not in favor of a nanny state whatsoever!!! I’m giving you the common sense argument coming from a governmental aspect. That’s just the way things work in the real world. It doesn’t mean I 100% agree with it.

I’ll fight to the end of the earth to keep my guns, but that doesn’t mean I don’t understand why the government would try to control them. It’s not like they want to take them away because they have nothing better to do. If they outlawed guns tomorrow I would take my guns and hide them and use them if necessary knowing I will be penalized for doing so… and that’s MY personal choice.

We have laws for everything in today’s world. I agree with most of them and I disagree with some of them…

At this point, I just don’t think the porn industry can get any more arrogant than it already is? The government has been easy on them for YEARS and telling them just do something to police yourselves and every time the industry puts up their middle finger and pretty much says “Go fuck off. You can’t tell us what to do.”

All I’m pointing out is that if you don’t want to play by the rules then the government will force you to through laws, penalties and/or fines. That’s the entire purpose of the “system.” It is what it is… fight for what you believe in, but don’t expect to always get your way… it doesn’t work that way for a reason. 🙂

If go cop to California cop who enforce seat belt law tell him well I do not seabelt I do not see why have one I have air bags in my car he gone tell does matter if not wear seat belt breaking law hand rath pricey ticket as tells go explain your story judge. I know frist I have had few tickets I have delt with cops hand them out. It same with porn when last time Nina Hartly made same argument you made Ca Osha she remind buy them that she been ticked fine in past for not wear condom when they remind her state passed law requiring be used there was part of tell her she had chose in matter. I love other people tell other people here do not worry if do not follow rules nothing well happen really I know at Ca Prisons fill to full with people beleave same thing untill they got caught doing so. All,s amzase me that common cent advice give buy people beleave some thing bad well never happen to becuase well statics show that well not. Here issue statics are number based well established rules from part try prove it side with fact that keep well toss way any undesirable fact show negative in there statics. Like Chicago statics show 2 year ago crime was down look like good place live so did they cut police took way gang task force. What happen now Chicago had high crime rate in counrty it has highiest murder rate by city in the counrty changle La Oakland for worst gang violence in counrty have worst year ever long time. But is you beleave FBI statics for city in past you would be able beleave this happing becuase statics say should . The point is statics have been wrong becuase people who make them are not prefect or flexible deal any thing that comply rules based on.

And Nick and I both know why that comment is 100% true, but not true in the context Glen King says it. BTW, who the fuck is Glen King???
