Most notably were Lexington Steele and Cytherea's tearful acceptance speech. One of the many things I found ridiculous was an interview with Britney Rears on the so called "red carpet" of the porn awards. You know, the place where all major networks are covering the event. She states that she has been in porn for three months and that she is "fresh meat". After reading other threads I don't think I'm alone when I say that this is a pathetic gimmick. I recognize who she is. Why couldn't she just tell the truth about who she is and how long she has been making smut films? Maybe she came up with this idea herself, but if not what genius decided to steer her in this direction? I'm kinda with Stern on the cheeseiness factor of the whole thing. I'm in the mainstream film industry myself and I'm generally tired of 58 award shows we need a year for everyone to pat eachother on the back. But porn awards? C'mon. Tonys, Oscars, Grammys, Emmys. I like watching porn just as much as the next guy, but that seemed so silly to me watching the Stern show last night. Draw the line. And if you're going to have the awards which you undoubtedly will at least get someone with befitting production knowledge. I've never been to the awards and will probably never go but just from what I saw last night from a supposed $10 billion a year industry I don't think that it is beyond the realm for the people who put these things together. Don't get me wrong I think the convention part is a great idea, but awards for fucking and sucking seems so superfluous. Lets have awards for the janitorial profession next. The AVN awards rank right up there with eating contests to me on the importance factor. I realize its not about me, and I'm sure I'll get railed for my opinions, but last night's Stern show was a real eye-opener for me, and I felt the need to express it. [Link] |

I'd be willing to bet that he couldn't name 5 active porn stars if you excluded those who have appeared on his show. [Link] |

| LadyB Black and Blue, USA 161 Posts 2/05 | Posted - Feb 24 2005 : 9:40PM It's more of a ratings game than anything. When I worked in radio, it was always "Get the porn star in on Thursday, and schedule them in the last 15 minutes of the hour." [Link] |

| Harry Joystick Member 740 Posts 8/02 | Posted - Feb 25 2005 : 12:32PM And I also think it's also hilarious when a porn star is crying during her speach when accepting an award for something like the year's "best double anal". And it's not just the porn industry that Stern ridicules. Long time listeners know that he ridicules everything , including himself...especially himself! [Link] |
| Eric Lowery Member West Hollywood 234 Posts 3/04 | Posted - Feb 25 2005 : 2:38PM But, the awards show was really what I was talking about. I really just couldn't help feel sorry for the people accepting awards who were taking it so seriously. I was actually laughing to myself in disbelief watching the show. Even if the sole purpose of the awards is to in fact proclaim excellence within the porn world I thought crying and thanking your mom for best double anal or whatever award was comical to say the least.

| DenverDon Benevolent Firmly Embedded in Depravity 5914 Posts 7/02 | Posted - Feb 25 2005 : 6:23PM As far as the awards show goes, I have absolutely no problem that it is held, or that some performers show some emotion when receiving them. As bono said, there has been a lot of blood, sweat, and tears poured into them. I don't think the AVN awards are any more superfluous that a lot of the other awards show. If you want a truly superfluous award event, you might try the Darwin Awards. A lot of those winners have already bitten the bullet. DenverDon <<<<[[[[ [Link] |
