BEST TITLE EVER. NOT TO MENTION THE LEDE.
Porn filmed in Japanese McDonald’s? I’m rubbin’ it!
McDonald’s customers suspected something amiss when one guy pulled out his whopper. They knew for sure when he began partaking of fur burger. The upshot was four people trying to make an adult movie in a fast food outlet ended up getting arrested….
An adult movie production company associate adds his two bits.
“They probably did something that stupid because they wanted to cut production costs,” the associate says.
“Putting the actress’s wages aside, 10 years ago most cheap adult movies had a budget of about 1 million yen, but now that figure is more likely to be 500,000 yen or, in really bad cases, only around 300,000 yen. If you’ve only got 300,000 yen to work with, there’ll be no room to book a studio or hotel room once you’ve rented the filming equipment and paid the guys’ wages. So that’s probably why they filmed in the fast food restaurant….”

For those doing the math, remember: markets vary, but 1 Japanese yen is usually worth about 1 US penny. So 300,000 yen = 3000 dollars, more or less. Which isn’t really enough to film opening credits in the Valley, much less a bona fide scene.
Assuming John, Hillary, and Barack have sufficiently addressed the rising costs of oil and food in their platforms, maybe they ought to add a statement about the rising cost of porn. That’d be enough to make even me pay attention.
P.S. Tyler pointed me toward a questionable report that verifies what I’d previously wondered: apparently, political opinions are genetic after all.
