Ya gotta love these PR people. Especially when they’re hyping the product they’re… uhmm… hyping by making something out of nothing by hyping something that’s very hype-able, but that isn’t actually included in the product. (Pretty good run-on sentence, huh?)

According to Jason Curious reporting (apparently with second-hand information) on the production of Vivid’s soon-to-be-released TeraVision blockbuster, "Tera Tera Tera," Jason says: “Cast and crew were shocked when the heavily inked husband (Evan Seinfeld) pulled out a gun and stuck it to Miss (Tera) Patrick’s head while continuing to bang the hell out of her…”

Hmmmm… I’ve been on a lot of porn sets; probably more sets than Jason Curious or his touts have been on. And one thing's for sure: porn crews don't shock easily. So I kind of doubt the “cast and crew were shocked.” If anything, the cast and crew were all smiles, albeit sinister smiles, while they voiced words of encouragement to the gun wielding illustrated man. In fact, I can easily visualize “high fives” being slapped all over the set as Mr. Patrick, I mean Mr. Seinfeld, banged his lovely wife while holding the blue steel to her beautiful melon.

Later in this Curious report, Jason says “Fortunately, it (the gun wielding shit) ended up on the cutting room floor.”

So I guess the publicity strategy Jason’s using here is to tell the buyers about something that happened while making the product, even though what happened isn’t actually in the product.

You know what? I kind of like this approach-- especially for hyping porn. I mean, it opens up whole new ways to spin bullshit. And since you don’t have to worry about showing any proof (by including it in the product) that the thing or sexual act or content or whatever it is you’re hyping actually happened, you don’t have to worry about being, uhmmm, completely truthful in what you report. (Not that I’m saying this mock, gun-to-the-head. rape-like incident didn’t actually go down the way Jason or Jason’s confidants say it went down.)

And I’m just thinking out loud here, but if some enterprising young editor at Vivid decided to sweep up the cutting room floor and hold onto that gun-to-the-head content, he or she might have something a whole lot of webmasters would be interested in buying for website content. But I’m just thinking out loud.

Okay, tme to put the thinking hat on. I gotta come up with something really sensational to shock the cast and crew of my next movie while I’m shooting it. Or at least, something I can say shocked the cast and crew.

I can’t believe Adella didn’t think this one up.
