can't we all just get along?
my favorite quote from the nytimes’ coverage of this year’s adult video news awards:
“The bikini models hate the topless dancers, the topless dancers hate the nude dancers, the nude dancers hate the adult-film actors,” said Stormy Daniels, 26, who won an award for best supporting actress. Ms. Daniels, who said she wished people would stop judging one another, does have her own pet peeve: tired plots.
“There’s nothing worse then when the pizza boy rings the doorbell, the girl says she doesn’t have a tip, and then they get it on,” she said. Ms. Daniels also won an award for best screenplay for a parody, “Camp Cuddly Pines Power Tool Massacre,” which presumably had a storyline more in keeping with her tastes.
so it’s not just a rodney king quip from just any untalented yokel. this screenwriter just won for
camp cuddly pines power tool massacre.
if only all prizewinners would be more outspoken about social injustices, perhaps this world would be a better place to live. or strip. or fuck.
speaking of which, sugarbank notes that the avn also published sales stats for the industry last year, including:
- 1B adult VHS/DVDs were sold in 2005
