|| By FITSNEWS || Screenwriters of adult movies will have to work overtime coming up with inventive plot twists if California regulators get their way. That’s because one of the new mandates being proposed by the state’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health would force actors in porn films to wear safety goggles.
No seriously … that’s one of the regulations contained in the agency’s latest proposed order.
According to reporter Susan Abram of The Los Angeles Daily News, “adult film performers and their supporters said the regulations – which include wearing protective eye gear – go too far.”
“These are regulations designed for medical settings, and are unworkable on an adult film set – or even a Hollywood film set,” said Diane Duke, CEO of the Free Speech Coalition.
“You can’t regulate sex the same way you regulate surgery,” one adult film director added in the coalition’s statement opposing the regulations.
We agree …
Censorship of porn is on the rise around the world. So too is government intrusion in the porn industry.
As limited government advocates, we oppose both nanny state escalations on principle … as we noted recently in addressing the right of porn stars to refrain from using condoms.
“Sex with multiple partners – on or off camera – is inherently risky behavior,” we wrote last fall. ” And anyone who engages in such behavior should know that. And knowing that, should they fail to take the necessary precautions, well … that’s on them. However if consenting adults wish to engage in sexual activities without using condoms – especially in the pursuit of gainful employment – then that’s entirely their business. And none of the government’s business.”
Same goes for “porn goggles.”

+10 for that one
That was the CIA’s plan.
If only! … :>)
It won’t ever end. Everyone always thinks they know what’s best for other people and have no problem forcing them to that very thing.
*to do that
I know… civilization, right?
Yep, force is always civilizing. Everyone always also likes to be told what to do because: civilization
Trees and holes – that’s the ticket!

Shifty, this should be *your* blog!
Thanks, but most of the articles here are ones that I don’t know anything about and can’t add any intellectual fodder to them. But when an article or comment offers an opportunity for some humor it helps me to keep my mind sharp. I think it’s interesting that a thread goes off-subject and the comments get wild.
you could hire some flunky… like WIll… to crib the articles from other sites like he does now.
Thanks for the support, but I can’t keep up with my own writing. I get something good but never expand on it. My mind has too many drawers, including Fitsnews, and I’m too easily distracted by anything new and interesting. Two examples are the story with Detective Ripper and the story about vetting the two female agents in Hong Kong. I don’t know what my family will do with all of the unfinished writings — maybe someone will complete them.
Squirrel!
Here’s a sample of a story in progress (sloooow progress)”
————————————————-
SHE WAS A LONG-LEGGED ASIAN GIRL, WEARING A GRAY LINEN DRESS THE WAY A PLUM WEARS ITS SKIN, AND HER HAIR WAS THE COLOR OF THE FIRST SHAVING OFF A NEW AFRICAN BLACK WOOD PLANK – BUT STRAIGHT. SHE HAD SKIN LIKE AN ALTAR CANDLE AND BLACK BUTTERFLIES FOR EYELASHES. SHE WAS A GIRL
I’D MET BEFORE, BUT NEVER WHEN I WAS AWAKE.
COME TO THINK OF IT, IT HAD BEEN KIND OF SILLY FRISKING HER FOR WEAPONS. THERE WAS ONLY ROOM FOR ONE WEAPON INSIDE THAT DRESS.
——————-
THERE WERE FIVE EMPTY VODKA BOTTLES AND A FULL RUSSIAN BLOND LEFT OVER IN THE NEXT ROOM; WHOEVER SHE HAD BROUGHT IN FOR A DRINK HAD LASTED LONGER ON HIS FEET THAN SHE HAD.
——————-
Focus, baby…focus! We all want a signed copy one day…
I do what I can to further that.
A duck is buying a package of condoms. The clerk asks, “Cash or charge?”
The duck says, “Just charge it to my account, please.”
The following week the duck is back to purchase another pack of condoms. The clerk asks, “Want me to put them on your bill?”
The duck replies, “No thanks – I’m not that kind of duck.”
Nanny takes care of all when baby can’t care for him- or her-self. We are all les enfants now!
I remember the first time I built a national highway – it was my first day on the job at the office building I built the day before. I had to get up early, but I finished just in time to run back home, kill one of my cows, cook it, pick some vegetables, make my lunch, build my car, and drive to work.
Private industrialist bidding for government contracts, huh? Was that a Ford you were driving? Did you give your illegal alien housekeeper the day off and had to make your own sandwich? Poor bebe.
Euwe..you have said this similar thing before. Are you the type of person who feels they need to be provided for and controlled by the government from cradle to grave?
I’m not being sarcastic, but I’m just wondering where the “we gotta have them build roads” philosophy stops, and if its at “we need a lifetime of provisions by a merciful government”.
Are you the type of person who feels they need to be provided for and controlled by the government from cradle to grave?

That’s not what civilization *is*.
Everything but the highway was a market transaction…
one of these things is not like the others:

?? – do not fold, spindle or mutilate”
———————————————-
While company employees could be trusted, or
required, to take care of the cards, the person in
the street could not. Warnings were necessary. In
the 1930s the University of Iowa used cards for
student registration; on each card was printed “Do
not fold or bend this card” (Baehne 32). Cards
reproduced in an IBM sales brochure of the 1930s
read “Do not fold, tear, or mutilate this card” and
“Do not fold, tear or destroy” (“Modern Machine
Accounting” 4 and 6). The author and origin of
are lost in the mists of time.
“Do not fold, spindle, or mutilate.” Folding
seems clear; you might fold a card to fit in an
envelope, or a pocket. But you’re not supposed to
crease these cards; that would jam the machine.
Punch cards aren’t to be used in your ways, for
your purposes, but for those of the company that
issued them. “Spindle” is the word that most
confuses people today. Spindling is an old filing
system; a clerk would have a spindle, an upright
spike, on his or her desk, and would impale each
piece of paper on it as he or she finished with it.
When the spindle was full, he’d run a piece of string
through the holes, tie up the bundle, and ship it
off to the archives. (The custom still survives in
some restaurants; the cashier spindles the bills as
customers pay.) But you shouldn’t spindle the cards:
they are part of someone else’s system of paperwork
not your own; they demand special attention.
“Mutilate” is a lot stronger than the other
words. It expresses an angry intention on the part
of the mutilator. From the viewpoint of the punch
card used, it suggests a fear: people might take out
their frustrations on their punch cards. (Indeed,
punch cards were mutilated. You could buy
machines advertised to “recondition mutilated
punch cards” [Data Processing Annual 451.) Why
would people mutilate punch cards? Punch cards
were the interface between the public and the billing
system. Metaphorically, they were where the public
meshed with the corporate world. They became
symbolic of the whole system. Earlier, it had been
the machines that were the focus of attention; in
the 1960s the cards took center stage.
“… unworkable on an adult film set – or even a Hollywood film set …”
Is there a difference?
They only show the face in the money shot.
They could always go for the studious blonde with huge glasses… or the beach with sunglasses.
That’s right. And the performers probably would not have to wear the goggles except when shooting the scene where they are actually having sex. Even if naked. So there could be a lot of nudity without goggles, getting it back to the old days when most of every full porn movie was sexie-nudie set-ups for the real sex scenes. Careful camera angels and editing could make it all work. An actress could even be shown taking a facefull in her goggle-free face, shot separately from the sex scene. But it would not be the real deal jizz. Easily faked.
Still, it’s all pretty damned stupid.
Buzz, you seem to have put a lot of thought into this subject. Let us know when your LLC is taking investors. (ps) have you discussed this with Candy?
They would either move out of California, or film only the ‘questioned acts’ in another state.
Technology is advancing so rapidly, law is struggling to catch up. When models are aided, or even replaced completely, by CGI that can’t be discerned from the real thing, mind control will kick in.
Lawmakers will have to admit that they want to control, not only what you do, but what you’re thinking.
What I don’t understand is why they think eyes are more vulnerable than tongues.
Blood vessels.
Have you looked at the underside of your tongue, or the inside of your cheeks in a mirror?
You heard about the 80’s cowboy who got herpes in his eye, didn’t you? He was lookin’for love in all the wrong places.
Next, patrons at bars will have to wear beer goggles.
As limited government advocates, we oppose both nanny state escalations on principle … as we noted recently in addressing the right of porn stars to refrain from using condoms.
Unless of course Fits is addressing the abortion issue then he has another set of rules. Limited Gov advocate my big ole hairy butt.
Would this law apply to massage parlors and the “Happy Endings”..??
In porn-related news, Honey Boo Boo’s mom was approached by , Vivid Video to do a porno . That show was pulled after it be came known , Mom was dating a convicted child molester , which is a shame .The show could have become even more interesting.

Not only that, the ranks of gay men would have decidedly swollen after straight men were subjected to Mama June naked.
Ugh!
I’m ashamed to admit it, but I frequent message parlors…
You don’t seem ashamed.
are you?
Yes & No.
I’ll have to enforce self-discipline on myself to finish another short story, “Never Be Ashamed of What You Are – I’m Not Ashamed of What You Are”….
PS: Once,and for all, to my ill-informed accusers —ShiftyI DID NOT forge the Dead Sea Scrolls..!!
collecting the receipts?
Why the shame?!
Max, I just caught your joke (missed it when posted)…”message parlors” —– extremely clever!
Will’s message parlor is my dirty little secret.
His cleverness causes me sleepless night – don’t encourage him LOL
Encourage him I must – for I desire to hear the grasshopper which is at my feet……
I can’t help but encourage him, even if it requires that I go negative. He is such an enigma it drives me crazy trying to figure out what he is talking about.
He pops me once a day and slaps me twice on Sunday for good measure….and I keep coming back for more. SMHL
Hmmm — I must change how I treat my women….
LOLOLOL
I have frequented message parlors since UseNet, circa 1997.
I used Doors, FidoNet, Compu$erve, GEnie, UseNet…
I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time… like tears in rain…
Is that Goldie Hawn?
http://images.fandango.com//images/movies/large/bangersisters_pic1.jpg
She had some age on her, but damn she was still fine. http://www.hotflick.net/flicks/2002_The_Banger_Sisters/002TBS_Goldie_Hawn_064.jpg
It’s sad to see her as she looks now.
Beyond sad. Extensive “work” gone bad.
Looks like it could be her. Even the little bump over the lip on her right side. But that pic is a close-up, and obviously she was much younger than she was for Banger Sisters. That pic would be from when she was really in her prime.
That appears to be something more like a paper tag…
