I just looked at www.gloryhole.com and on their Clayra Beau teaser page they list a full page plus of scenes that they claim were filmed in Whitehall, MI; North Muskegon, MI and Nunica, MI. They also have Mackenzee Pierce filming in Whitehall, MI and Zoe Voss also filming in Whitehall. As I live within 40 miles of all three cities (and knowing Michigan fornication law), I wonder if this is for real. Can anyone confirm or deny? I promise I won't turn anyone answering in to authorities, as I support the porn industry and feel that the law should not interfere. This is just hard for me to believe that porn is actually being filmed in Michigan! If you are more comfortable PMing me rather than posting on an open forum, you may do so and I will not reveal your name as source to anyone.
Somehow, the site tracks down the general area of your IP address and supplies the names of nearby towns as places where the scenes were shot. Whether that's somehow supposed to spur sales or get you to start hanging out in gas station bathrooms, I don't know.
Yup, Pete's right. But you're not the first to wonder about this particular advertising trick, mharris. Here's a post I wrote to someone else a while back about the same issue: Adult DVD Talk Forum Post
They're totally scoping your IP and using it to generate ads and other content to fit YOUR location. The scene was filmed in LA, and if you can zoom into the background of ANY Gloryhole.com scene and read the graphiti, you'll notice that it's all porn girls :) Billy Watson shoots a lot (if not all) of the their stuff, and his studios are in LA.
Perhaps some of these days they will scope our IP addresses to order us to stand before our telescreens and await the arrival of the Thought Police to take us to be interrogated for some PATRIOT Act violation.
I got just one thing to say about Muskegon from the one time I was there. I call it Mosquito, Michigan. And for good reason. Are Michiganders still terrible drivers? Edited by - randomprecision on 8/19/2010 10:49:48 AM
Most people would rather drive in a large city such as Grand Rapids than Muskegon/Ludington and this area due to the fact that (unfortunately) driver's ed sucks here. As for scoping IP addresses and claiming that the scenes were taped here, isn't that deceptive advertising? I think Billy Watson needs to tell the company that he works for to stop it or he will quit! I thought it to be too good to be true, but this practice is definitely not kosher!
I used to live in Fort Wayne, IN, so I used to watch Muskegon play the Komets in minor league hockey...about all I know about Muskegon. Usually good games though
My mother watched most of those games too. She was a die-hard Lumberjacks/Fury fan, she has even made trips to Fort Wayne to watch games. Too bad the Muskegon team left the league and converted to teen-agers hockey.
