In the industry, we argue about mainstream and porn all the time. From product placement in mainstream movies and TV shows, to NC-17 and independent movies that incorporate sex into their plots, there’s this impression we like to give in the adult industry, that somehow mainstream needs porn. Somehow, there’s this notion that mainstream can’t do porn, and without our industry, all the tasty bits of television and movies would be reduced to a quick wardrobe malfunction, Elvira’s cleavage, or Peter Griffin’s ass.
Not fucking so! Case in point, this banned Skittles commercial making its way around YouTube. Special thanks to BDSM educator and writer Jay Wiseman (no relation, but we do know each other) for sharing.
Wow! Clothing, and Casting problems aside (they get a Jessica Drake look-alike, but a complete dork for the guy, WTF?), Everything is on the mark. The lighting, editing, and camera angles are on either spot on or better than in porn. Add one more filter and a slow motion effect, and Michael Ninn could have shot it. If it wasn’t so campy and void of any obvious sexual contact, I’d have to have their model releases and ID on file for 2257.
No, I’m not just writing this post to boost SEO for my friends, honest, but it does feel good to share the rainbow, love.
Point is, mainstream doesn’t need us. They have the resources, talent, and more lawyers. If HBO wanted to, they’d shoot a full on porno. Game of Thrones is proof of that. Fact is, there’s a lot of porn that’s shot softcore just for cable. In the industry, we rely on mainstream, not the other way around.
