I think she hit the nail on the head when she talks about WHY the industry refused to test for Herpes.

When Herpes testing finally starts, I think you'll see a whole lot of unemployed former stars bitching about it.

I thought quite a bit about attempting to get into the industry, which I easily could have done.

However, this issue, the issue of not testing for Herpes, is what held me back.

There's a whole lot of talent out there that you won't get to see until something is done about this plague, and the 'gift that keeps on giving'.

Like I said in many of my former posts, I still can't believe there hasn't been a class action lawsuit brought about by former stars who got Herpes while doing their jobs.

Once Herpes testing starts, and people begin getting eliminated, we may see just that.

What's really stupid is that the decision NOT to test has NO SCIENTIFIC BEARING. This test has been around a long time, and when the lawsuits start piling up, all of you producers in here that fought against it will be wishing you had stood behind it, and made it happen sooner.

If I was Dion, or Jeff, I would protect myself by REQUIRING full panel tests from all of my performers, instead of fighting AGAINST them, or as the case may be, just 'going along' with the current standards.

Herpes ain't no joke, ladies and gentlemen.

When is the last time any of you talked to an 18 year old girl, straight out of high school, about the things that might happen to them if they go into porn?

Did you find them to be aware of these possible nightmares that await them?

The girl I knew who went into porn told me that since her mom was a nurse, she shouldn't have any problems.

When I informed her that Herpes is transmittable EVEN WHEN YOU CAN'T SEE IT, she screamed at me again, telling me her mom is a nurse, and I didn't know what I was talking about.

For facts about Herpes, please check any organization on the net, and you will see I'm correct.

Preying on the young, and sending them into situations that may cause them harm for THE REST OF THEIR LIVES is not the kind of thing GOOD PEOPLE do.

I think there are good people in the industry, and I think that Britni is one of them. What she was attempting to do was to take a stand for WHAT IS RIGHT, not was is profitable.

However, in the end, what is RIGHT usually ends up being PROFITABLE.

Shit man, fucking car companies fought against airbags and seatbelts a long time ago.

Now they fucking advertise them.

Think about it.

Doing the right thing is ALWAYS the best decision.
