Shocking.

Not part of the DU thread but the huffpo article linked.

An adult film company is capitalizing on the heat of the U.S. anti-establishment protests by using a tent in the middle of the "Occupy Oakland" encampment as the setting for a new gay porn flick.

Billed by The New York Observer as a "homoerotic caper through the tents of Oakland's Occupation," Dirty Boy Video's "Occupy My Throat" is likely to have been inspired by Brandon Watts, an original member of the Wall Street occupation who lost his virginity in Zuccotti Park before being arrested after a gruesome standoff with the police. Dirty Boy Video president Andy Fair reportedly contacted the 20-year-old Watts, whose experience was apparently noted in a New York Times magazine feature, and offered the protester cash for the chance to tape his next experience.

"I offer you the opportunity to perform on our website, an opportunity to express yourself and your politics freely and without censor. Working together we can create a sexy, fun platform that inspires you, be that with other actors, actresses or both. Whether you choose to work with us or not, I salute your dedication and your courage," Fair wrote in his letter to Watts, according to CBS San Francisco.

Watts does not appear in "Occupy My Throat," which was reportedly filmed in the middle of the Occupy Oakland encampment at Frank Ogawa Plaza. The film's tagline reportedly reads as follows: "Police can ban the erection of tents at Occupy Wall Street, but they can't keep us from pitching a tent in our pants!"

Though the overall, ahem, merits of "Occupy My Throat" remain to be seen, some bloggers are greeting the release enthusiastically. "Many might find this perverted and/or an unnecessary distraction from the important issues of the day," writes LeFag. "We feel like this video could be a nice historical document in years to come, should the movement prove more than a flash in the pan."

9. Occupy Oakland is not hosting it...
   the folks making the flick are just doing it. "'Occupy Oakland' Hosts Gay Porn Video Shoot" I find the headline very misleading, it is stating that Occupy Oakland is responsible for it and it is not.

If it was filmed at a Teaparty event or in a church you would say what?

7. the name of the film is Dirty Boy Video's "Occupy My Throat", and unfortunately this is going to be   
   tossed around like candy on all the missing-chromosome corporate lackey/boot-licker sites. Sheeeesh.

Consensus says...... boot them OUT NOW.

Homophobe.

8. Strongly agree. This is going to be a big turnoff within OWS, as well
   as to those outside.

I think it is downright creepy to introduce porn into OWS. What is the purpose or goal of doing so?

I think most people are not going to react well to a movement hosting porn being carried out in public and with the backdrop of the holiday season. It's absurd, offensive and vulgar. It's a distraction and demeans the good OWS is doing.

They know their own.

12. It's not required for us to fall for every hit piece that is spewed
   out of the corporate media. We can pass on some. It's not like the banksters and their government lackeys are ever going to run out of good ones.

lol

11. While I don't object to porn
   this film company needs to pick a different spot. I wonder who really set this up, somehow I imagine there's conservative dollars at play here - and a lot of them. Definitely worth looking into...

Yep,another conspiracy.

Nice try but no.

20. unrec for inaccurate subject line. Big difference between "hosts" and "is used by". eom

Ignoring the clearly (according to DUmbasses) racist name you have facts are facts,no pun intended but suck on it.

Say not to porn and yes to rape, pedophiles, drugs and every other disgusting element of OWS.   BTW, porn was already present in the form of some skanks baring their breasts.  Could it be the DUmmies are upset because they hate gays?

Interesting. In this thread about a pornographic movie, a comment from a DUmbass who sounds like the chinless 'Bama butterball, Li'l Ava.

At any rate, "what is the purpose or goal?" is a good question for the hippie hordes. So far, they have none.

And as far as "the good OWS is doing", that's reminisicent of the DUmpmonkeys talking about all the accomplishments of the round, red sodomite.

I heard Sub Atomic (the DU flamer Drama Queen) just bought a one-way ticket for sunny California.

Capitalism run amok.

As long as a buck is to be made the Capitalist will be there, how do the liberals explain this???

Shut down the capitalest, where are they going to get their drugs, their sex and who pays for their public defenders?

Why are these College kids in school in the first place, is it their goal to become a Doctor that makes the same wage as a factory worker???

Liberals think nothing of having capitalists Porn Makers in their midst, Capitalist drug dealers, or Capitalist Pimps and hookers.  They ignore the billion dollar industry's of Capitalists to rage their wrath on the well Educated hard working people that work for a good life for America.

The government does not give the Porn Industry money to keep it afloat. Or does it by Endowment for the Arts ???

If these people are serious they will all hitch hike, drive their Dads car or ride the rails to get to DC, rally against Obama and cause one hell of a problem.

Rallies 2000 miles away from DC do no good, if these people want a change as was promissed to them, what good does a few dozen people in Portland Maine to cause a ruckus.

Out of the parks, onto the roads and head for DC to demand answers from Obama, his leadership has caused this, why is America worse off under Obama then we were under Bush.

My 401K shows the answer to that one, hard earned money at my age never to be seen again in my life time.
