| California Sluts Being Outsourced | |
| 2004-04-29 | |
Add porn star to the list of U.S. jobs being outsourced. American X-rated film directors are heading to Brazil in search of uninhibited women, exotic locations and cheap production costs. The going rate for a Brazilian X-rated actress is about $175 per sex scene -- a fraction of what talent in the Los Angeles area costs. Tim Connelly, publisher of California-based AVN, an adult film industry magazine, said Brazil is the place to go today. He said economics and beautiful women are driving the growth of the Brazilian porn industry.

| #12 Is this what Ross Perot meant about the "great sucking sound" of jobs moving south of the border? |

| #11 On a semi-related note only in terms of topic, does anyone else think that putting this in "Short Attention Span Theater" is somewhat odd? I imagine they'd keep my attention quite a while if I ever saw any of those women. Not that I have. Ahem. |

| #10 Sorry, it might have been me; I was using my sonic screwdriver to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow on my TARDIS console with Rantburg open in a browser window . . . |

| #5 OT: Anyone else having a spotty connection to Rantburg? Wonder if the trolls are coming out to stir up trouble while Fred's away. |

| #4 I'm no expert, but from what I read, the AIDS cases started with a performer who went to Brazil and caught it. Apparently there's a market down there in faked "clean bills of health". |

| #3 I'm sure this has nothing to do w/Aids scare that is currently shutting down domestic porn filming.W/huge profits in porn dvd's,the industry has to crank out new titles. |
