"They Shoot Porn Stars, Don't They?" Crawls Its Way Across the Globe



Recently, for reasons that remain unknown, my story on the adult movie industry and the recession, "They Shoot Porn Stars, Don't They?", which I originally wrote for a publication but pulled in a fit of pique and decided to self-publish online for self-destructive reasons known only to my subconscious, has been trawling its way across the non-English speaking interwebs.

First, some French-speaking Canadians wrote about it. I understood the "superbe" part, no problem. One of my Canadian friends translated it for me, but the only part I remember is that they said I call a cat a cat. That's RIGHT, dammit. If I see a cat, I call it a cat. That's the kind of woman I am.

Then, some Germans got a hold of it. Somebody told me what they said, but I can't remember. Still, I learned a new word: "Pornoindustrie." Use that in casual conversation, win 10 points.

Finally, some Netherlandians who write for a site called Jaggle picked it up, which I guess is a pretty popular spot, as it sent a buttload of traffic. I don't know anyone who speakuzuh dah Deuytch, so I have no idea what it says, but how could you go wrong with "Mooi verhaal: iets met schieten enzo"? Nuff said.

Anyway, what did we learn here? No idea. Whatsoever.
