Jenna Jameson, formerly famous, former pornstar, recently stated that "When you are rich, you want a republican in office". She seems to favor Mitt Romney in the coming erection. Of course, I mean election. The "coming" part was a double entendre. You probably got that.
Unlike 99% of porn actors, she made a lot of money. I guess she was a savvy business person and, unlike most porn persons who do it to pay the rent or are under the illusion that it will lead to Hollywood acting jobs, she retained rights and control to her videos. Points are where the serious money is in the film business. I remember reading that a woman would get up to $1200 for the lead in a film and the men would make half that. Interesting given the usual disparity in pay among the sexes. I really think some guys did porn just to get laid. But, for the most part, men view porn to see hot chicks getting fucked and the women would be the stars that sell the tapes. I've seen articles praising Jenna for her business acumen, stardom and- if only briefly- sorta kinda bringing porn into the mainstream and bedrooms of couples. Whoop-dee-doo.
I don't think I've ever seen her work. Really. I've seen pictures of her and in her prime she looked like a thousand other blonde porn queens with fake boobs. It's not a look I like. I prefer attractive, natural women. I don't know if she's trying to make a comeback or not and if that's why she was being quoted about the election. She's 38 and could do MILF porn, I guess. I don't know if she'd find the business lucrative. These days, anyone with a camera phone and genitals can make a porn and throw it up on the 'net. I don't know if there are any stars like her any more and that's probably by design. There's no shortage of people needing money these days and willing to degrade themselves to make rent. Throw in some folks who are just plain exhibitionists and I think the purveyors have little problem getting fresh naughty bits, cheap. It's a sign of the times. She's just another rich, Kochsucker out for herself. Imagine that!
Ya know, I heard the owner of Papa John's Pizza is all upset because Obamacare will force him to offer health insurance to his 16,500 employees, adding 11 to 14 cents to the price of a pizza. (I bet he rounds it off to the next dollar though...) It seems to me that the third largest pizza outfit in the nation should have been successful enough to offer employee insurance before this. You get so big, you can afford to have NASCAR driver, Jeff Gordon, in your ads. You forget you have employees, I guess.
Hmmm...a pizza delivery guy and a sultry blonde with big, fake boobies... Have we see this movie before?

It's always interesting to see which 'celebrities' come out to support the Republican candidate. They rarely turn any of them away, either. (Crazy Ted) Hey, gotta hit all those demographics!
Jenna has had her share of problems since marrying Tito Ortiz. Maybe things would have turned out better if she'd married the pizza guy?
Well, they also have Craig T. Nelson and Jon Lovitz so, mainstream street cred.
I did not know about Tito. The UFC is another form of pornography so, that fits, I guess.
Thanks for the info on Papa John's. I didn't like their pizza anyway.
We have a former phone sex operator on Topix, you know.
"A woman's voice must be soft and well modulated," she said.
Does that count as porn?
The first time I went to a strip club there was a photo of her up and I thought she was the most beautiful thing ever! lol. She had big eyes and a cute hair style. I had no idea who she was. Pretty unreal about the lack of health care for Papa Johns employees. I always wait for the day when news like that doesnt surprise me, but it always does
A strip club, Trixie?! Do tell!
I saw an aerial view of the Papa John estate. There's HUGE MONEY in crappy pizza, more than enough to enroll thousands of employees in a group healthcare plan on one's own volition. I have a serious problem with these *self-made billionaires* who protest that fair pay/benefits would break their bootstraps. I just don't think one is a real businessman unless they can manage all this AND have the fabulous estate. Others can!
Just as an aside, why is it an employer's responsibility to provide health insurance to its employees?
During WWII, there was a wage freeze. To attract good workers some employers made the benefits more attractive. Even post-war this was a good idea and it stayed that way for decades until business figured out that you could maximize profits by minimizing workers pay and benefits. The rest is the tea party and the Rmoney/Ryan ticket.
It's just good business for an employer to provide a group plan. Just as there is safety in numbers, there's savings too. If the government provides insurance, OMG! that's socialism! If you have to get it on your own, that's extremely expensive.
I understand the history behind it. I'm contending, however, that it is not an employer's responsibility - government mandated or otherwise. And the practice penalizes small businesses who can't afford to compete with the big boys as their 'group' is far too small to get the best rates.
What then, do you suggest?
Everyone's responsible for their own insurance. Of course, insurance companies wouldn't want to insure some folks which would require the government to step in.
Heck, might as well socialize it and be done with it.
