Saw a Frontline documentary about

Saw a Frontline documentary about the American pornography husiness. Most of the material was surprisingly pedestrian. Porn is a big business, big corps make lots of money carrying porn, yada yada yada. They even dragged Larry Flint out for the obligatory mumbly interviews.

However, there was one segment where they followed an extreme porn film shoot featuring semi-simulated beating and gang-rape of a semi-consensual "star." The telling point was when the Frontline camera crew was disgusted enough to leave rather than keep filming. The lack of footage was more convincing than anything else that porn is still a Bad Thing. Although the interviews featuring the condescending anti-porn prosecutor made the alternative sound just as unappetizing.
