As long as porn stars don't read to teens with raging hormones, what's the harm? (Actually, I have no position on this issue.)
Seriously? Not even a twitch to one side? From all of the research I've done on her counting from yesterday to about a minute ago, she's apparently very prolific in her work (160 films), thinks most hardcore movies aren't hardcore enough (perhaps the horniest woman to step in front of a camera), and refused cosmetic surgery to enhance her looks, which actually gives her integrity when most of the women around her were doing nose jobs, collagen injections, breast implants...anything, really, to get ahead in the industry. But, since retiring, she's gone to "legitimate" film and modelling, and all that dirty stuff happened about 2 years ago.
My concern is, due to the public outcry, that's possibly one less person to read to children. Strangely enough, about 60 million US citizens admit to using porn in some way, which would statistically translate to about 1 in 5 consenting adults. That means, there's a reasonable probability that some of the parents complaining about her having sex on camera have watched porn, and possibly are fans of hers. I've heard the argument that she shouldn't be allowed around children due to the nature of her films;
being "abused" for money. Oddly enough, she put herself in that situation, and if a responsible adult says, "Most of the triple X I see is boring and does not arouse me physically or visually. I am determined and ready to be a commodity that fulfills everyone’s fantasies," she's doing her job and arguably doesn't personally consider it abuse, and if no laws were broken during filming, it's not legally considered abuse either. In all actuality, the viewer is being abused; she commands the viewer to watch due to how much she's willing to do, and in this way takes advantage of her audience.
The same person who argued she can't be around kids for that reason also said they didn't care if it was "just" porn. Seriously, if it's got three X's in the rating already, I'm not sure it really matters how much is going on. But...I'm probably screaming at a deaf audience and postulating for no real reason; you already said you've got no feelings either way.

Ah, but Jehova created man in His image, meaning he's turned on by His own ass. And boobs.
