"And rather than get into all of the details for the public, and even most of our industry, as your story had to, we need to keep it simple: "U.S. House of Representative Votes To Ban All Adult Films In The U.S., Senate Expected To Follow! Even simulated sex in Hollywood movies and network television films is to be affected. U.S. movie making could be set back more than 60 years to the days of Joe Breen's Production Code Administration (the mainstream industry group from the '30s that required a couple in bed to have at least one foot on the floor)." The public needs to be made aware of the impact on them of all of this, not the complicated detail of how it gets there, but what results will be and how they will be affected. I believe that's the only way this has any possibility of being stopped in the Senate, before the industry has to resort to the courts."
"This is Hurricane Katrina for the Adult Industry."
(Not to mention, what it could mean for artistic films like TAXI DRIVER, THIRTEEN, BLUE CAR, PRETTY BABY...the likes of which, we may not see again.)"
