Stop your sobbing; more knobbing

This is Gram Ponante with your Porner's Almanac for the week of November 4, 2007.
In porn circles, the term for anything that doesn't involve having sex on camera for much less than Chloe Sevigny got for that blowjob in The Brown Bunny is mainstream.
What happens when someone who used to work in porn wants a mainstream job?
Well, many people in porn have pseudonyms, or noms de porn, but Geoff Mena, aka Chef Jeff, was a guy who worked on the fringes of the adult industry. He ran websites, dated various porn stars, worked as a Porn Jockey on KSEX Radio, and now and then performed in what is called a POV scene, in which viewers saw, from Geoff's point of view, sex acts being performed on his person.
Well, Mena decided to hang up the glamorous lifestyle and return to his first love, tennis, this year. He sold off a few of his websites and generally divested himself of the trappings of professional pornography to get a job as an administrator and a tennis pro at a community recreational facility in Surprise, Arizona. Though Mena's boss knew of his porn past, he was hired anyway and, according to Geoff, did very well at his job. After all, he'd been a tennis pro for 12 years before getting into the porn business.
One day, so the story goes, a tennis student decided to Google Geoff's name and found references to his porn past. A letter was written, a few calls were made, and Mena was fired. The letter said that the anonymous writer didn't want to bring his daughter or her friends to take tennis lessons with someone involved in the pornography business.
You can read the letter and an interview with Geoff Mena at my site, Gram Ponante.com.
What do you think? Does getting fellated on film every now and then make one a bad community recreation center administrator? Fry cook? U.S. Senator?
I have to say that I thought the fact that George Bush being president meant, at the very least, that pornographers could be tennis instructors without fear of their qualifications being questioned.
This week's movie recommendation is Teravision's Broken, starring Sasha Grey and directed by Dave Navarro. Navarro has been hanging around porn for the poast few years, the former guitar player for Red Hot Chili Peppers and perennial guitar player for Jane's Addiction has put together a very watchable porn movie with a revenge theme and, of all things, a twist ending. Though it starts with Sasha Grey masturbating while sobbing, which an informal poll in the Silverlake/Glendale/Los Feliz/Burbank area reveal is physically impossible if not a waste of time, the movie gets better.
In other news, a man from Florida was convicted of being a dumbass blowhard on the Internet. I can only imagine this is the first of at least 100,000 such convictions.
Michael Williams was convicted of pandering this past week, professing in a chatboard conversation that he had child pornography. Williams was in a flame war with an undercover FBI special agent and, more or less on a dare, put his money where his mouth was, posted several links to child porn, and was promptly arrested.
In standard porn circles, where special effort is made to make sure everyone is at least 18 and medically cleared, where variations tend to run only as far as number of partners and their races, child porn is very rightly a taboo subject. But Williams' style of buffoonery, exclusive of the images he had on his computer, would be right at home among porn valley chatboard denizens.
