More famous women are offered money to get naked
2 comments
Why is it that every time a "hot" woman becomes a big political or pop culture figure, she's instantly offered money to make a porno or pose nude?
Oh right. Because we live in a sexist patriarchal culture that gets cheap thrills from objectifying women.
The latest female celebrity to be the piece of meat who receives this irresistible offer? Nadya Suleman, "OctoMom." $1 million to make a movie. I can't even think about what that movie would entail. The scary part is that she's so desperate for money, I wouldn't be surprised if she did it. I have no doubts that the porn industry that made the offer, Vivid Entertainment, is consciously exploiting her poverty. Nice.

I agree that the trend of exploiting these newly famous women is sick. That said, there are some interesting developments in the Suleman's situation. In response to her Vivid Entertainment's offer, another large company has repostedly offered one year of diapers for free to NOT participate in a pornography movie. Now weather this offer is all smoke and mirrors in an effort to 'out do' the competition or not, only time will tell. It could also just be a big company using their gusto to support Nadia and do the right thing by her Octuplets.
