Do Straight Porno Theaters Have Undercover Cops?
A lot has happened since I've been gone. The Yanks have been tearing it up, Friends (which I never watched) ended its run of appealing only to women, and Dan Renzi from Real World Miami got busted for roughing up the suspect (not Iraqi) in a gay porno theater.

Dan provides a witty true/false account of what happened on the evening he was hauled in by an undercover vice-squad cop. And, of course, I have a few questions:

• Assuming the cop is not homosexual, how low on the police totem pole do you have to be to be assigned the task of watching gay porn and spying customers' peckers?

• What is it that porn theater-goers are expected to be doing? Eating popcorn and concentrating on the plot twists?

• Has there ever been a high-profile bust at a straight porn theater? Do vice squads inordinately target gays?

• If you're a cop, is it possible to look yourself in the mirror after asking for an autograph of a long-ago MTV cast member who is now being troubled for doing something millions do every day in a place where everyone has a basic understanding of what's going to occur?

• Why is society is protecting gay men from seeing other men's penises when I had to basically quit working out at New York Sports Clubs after reporting, repeatedly, that it was impossible for a straight man to feel comfortable there (what with the hands disappearing under towels) and that when I asked Equinox if the steam room was safe for straight guys, the recruiter said, "It is before 9 p.m."?

• Is this the most news a Real World cast member has made since Eric Nies hosted The Grind? Where's Judd's comics? Where's John's country music albums? Where's Kelley's Playboy shoot?

Dan, as you long-time PK.com readers might recall, made my list of favorite Real World personalities, if for nothing else than tearing Maria a new ... oh, I can't say it ... when she opened up his mail. I was never so glued to the set, except to anticipate how Joe was gonna kiss his girlfriend, who was two feet taller than him.

Anyway, I just want to say that I'm behind Dan all the way. Wait, scratch that. I'm off to the side quite a bit, but I support him, because I see this arrest as just another method of imposing beliefs on someone else, not to mention the shoddy practice of a police staffer asking for autographs. How tacky.

Comments: Do Straight Porno Theaters Have Undercover Cops?

I haven't watched The Real World in ages [I think I'm officially to old to care about those whiny self-absorbed little fucks], but Miami was one of the seasons I watched. Hilarious, in the unintentional comedy sense.

And can someone explain WHY it is illegal to yank the crank in a porn movie theater? And why someone actually cares to enforce the law? Just who is the injured party, after all. Seems to me everyone who is there wants to be there. Is this the most dangerous crime we can think of fighting in the age of terrorism? Suicide bombers are slipping into the country on tankers, but hey, don't worry, nobody's spilling their seed in the theater anymore!

Christ.

Wasn't Pee-Wee Herman busted in a straight porn theater? Can anyone verify/refute this?

Posted by TTman at May 11, 2004 1:02 PM

I just hope for Dan's sake it was a good movie. I mean... if you get busted jerking off in public, it better have been worth it!

I'm just glad that hasn't happened to me... yet!!!

It appears Pee Wee was busted for masturbating to Nancy Nurse, so I'm gonna assume that's a straight flick. Of course, there's really nothing I can't see that guy getting off to.

Judd is doing a show for Cartoon Network and is doing a 3 issues for the latest Batman comic.

Posted by at May 11, 2004 5:11 PM

I knew Judd had to be up to something, 'cause I went to his website some time ago and it was animated. So I figured he was still doing the cartoon thing.

also with Judd, he was on the top 10 list of writers/artists one month for Wizard, so he's doing good i guess.
