Only AHF’s Brian Chase could have drafted such a deficient ordinance.
Setting aside the hyperbolic language about epidemics (a term whose true definition does not apply), there are gems like these…
“Permittee must abide by all applicable workplace health and safety regulations, including California Code of Regulations Title 8, Section 5193, which mandates barrier protection, including condoms, to shield performers … during the production of films.”
But the word “condom” never appears in Section 5193.
“‘Producer of adult film’ is defined as any person or entity directly engaged in the creation of adult films.”
Can you say vague, or overly broad?
EFFECT, not ‘affect’, Cindi…
They make it vague and broad to cover any and all possibilities so they can fine the production or shut it down. Laying down fines lets them raise extra revenue for the city.
Of course the epidemic is laughable as the straight porn industry HIV rates are lower then the general population.
Condoms are a barrier between intimacy and effection, I mean affection. STDs are STIs. Gardasil causes cervical cancer. HIV/AIDS is a $cam. Sickness and death is a racket. Have a nice day.
I’m not debating you Jeremy, but Gardasil is safe enough for use. BUT, a carrageenan based lubricant is also effective against the transmission of herpes and HPV. Look for a FDA-approved product hitting the market soon.

“Gardasil appears to increase disease by 44.6 percent in certain people”
Ya see, AIDS, Cancer, disease, war, starvation, etc are manipulated for profit. We have the capacity of solving the woes of the world but that would put a lot of motherfuckers out of business, and laws, rules and regulations are basically for those who can’t afford to be above them, and a way of controlling and limiting the (over)populations.
I’ve said this over and over and over and over and over and over again and it’s like I never ever said it… 90% “HAVE” oral herpes (the virus) but no ones trying to outlaw kissing and insisting on lip sheaths. If we applied the same exact logic of mouth herpes to the great sinful herpes of the genitalia, then we’d have a global paradigm shift. “Diseases” which should be called “infections” in almost all cases are just the body’s process of eradicating shit. Normally shit goes away on it’s own and everyone has caught shit they will probably never admit to. But the idea that we “have” it means we also have chicken pox, as we also carry that virus as well. And stress causes dis-ease no less than a virus.
Our minds are controlled by people who are also controlled by money and politics (the above article helps exemplify this fact). The truth gets squashed and has no political interest groups. If you give a fuck about what’s what you gotta do the homework.
And by the way, “everyone knows” Origen that you’re me and I’m you (according to Nick East), so isn’t it a mystery we have these debates? ha
You’d think between the likes of Nick, Moronica and others that the porn industry must be the mental hospital of the universe!
An open invitation to Michael Whiteacre…
I, Nick East, would enjoy a spirited debate with you on the subject of condoms in porn. I have already spoken to Tod Hunter (question writer for Jeopardy) who has agreed to officiate and create suitable questions. I would be pro-condom, and you would take the pro-choice position. Please accept my invitation, please?
Thank you,
Nick East
I’m honored by the invitation, and it is my distinct pleasure to accept, Nick.
Tod is an old friend, and I’m sure you’ve known and respected him for ages as well. How shall we do this?
I saw you friended me on Facebook — shall we work out details there?
Yes, lets sort out the details there! I look forward to meeting you!
Cool. I also sent a message to Tod.
