Ad Off
I was rubbing one off to a gay DVD last night (The great classic Heroes – but that review is another blog entry) and when I traveled from Main Menu to Previews I was surprised that there was A) no previews for any film, but instead an ad for a sex website, and B) the ad was for a straight website.
Now I’m gay and still love straight porn, we all know that. And I’ve come to be web-friends with several gay men who enjoy jacking-off to straight porn. But I bet we’re a small minority in the gay community. Besides, last night I fast-forwarded through the ad, and I get off on boy/girl fucking. Of all the advertisements they could have added to the DVD of a classic gay porn film, they chose one with tits, pussy and big hair? Does this work for them? Have they ever gotten responses from someone who, anxious to see Tim Kramer rim Jim Bentley, just happened across a pitch for hot girl-on-girl action? Does this PR strategy pay off? Maybe, but I have trouble buying it.
These old classic films don’t have a lot of extra material for DVD special features, I understand that. Deleted scenes, alternative camera angles or out-takes just don’t exist anymore for these films. But – come on -- is it so difficult to match up DVD extras with the feature presentation? Just something in the same ballpark, something the movie’s viewer might actually be interested in, interested in seeing, and maybe even interested in purchasing. It makes sense to me, but then I’m not a porn producer or marketer. Maybe I should be. Maybe a new career lies ahead of me!

Thanks Matt-ster, glad you like the blog.
I'm crazy about the young Jim Bentley as well. Although I don't think he aged particularily well as the years trudged on. He tried to keep the youthful "young, hung and full of cum" look, when allowing himself to turn into a daddy type would have served him much better.
