Not seeing many good Camera of Death pics from this year's AEE/AVN yet. I did read a few bloggers bitching about the new rules. Here's one I C & P'd:


Don't go! It is fucked up this year.

The new owners (Branson) of the hotel/convention center will rebrand the Hard Rock to Virgin and is trying to distance itself from association with porn. So they are fucking with the fans and the talent by randomly decreeing the following ban:
1. No fan DSLR cameras allowed
2. No Backpacks to store anything you want to purchase from the talent
3. No outside food - so if the talent wants to bring in their donuts even if it was bought at the donut place inside the hotel, tough luck - you need to buy it inside the convention hall, but of course, the bar inside the hall doesn't sell donuts!

It is a big FUCK YOU to everyone by the new owners since this is the last year of the contract.

They never made these conditions clear on their web pages or ticket purchase pages. These are totally new bans.

Hmm...interesting. I heard that a number of exhibitor whores were turned away from the exhibit halls because of inappropriate attire.

As for the cameras, they never allowed cameras in the award show. But banning them from the exhibit is a new one.
