Rashida Jones exposes amateur porn industry with 'Hot Girls Wanted' (video)

Actress Rashida Jones is best known for her work in “The Office” and “Parks and Recreation.” But her latest project, a documentary called “Hot Girls Wanted,” explores the amateur porn industry, which she says rakes in gobs of cash by exploiting the gullibility of young women who thirst for fame and fortune.

“So much stands in the way of them and that dream,” she tells Yahoo Global News Anchor Katie Couric. “And the things that stand in the way are not being fully explained to them. “Their naiveté is really important as an engine for the porn industry, or at least this part of the porn industry. That’s the problem.”

The film, which Jones produced, premiered at this year’s Sundance Festival. It takes its title from ads that commonly appear on Craigslist seeking “hot girls” for amateur porn, a genre whose name gives the impression that the films are not professionally produced.

“The truth is, it’s cast, it’s lit, it’s scripted; and most of the young girls who go into amateur porn are very young, which makes it seem like they might just be the girl next door,” Jones says.

1. The devil always lies when he wants your soul.

To any young girl, the promise of instant stardom and money is often hard to resist. It's a cruel, evil lie.

2. Every 18 year old knows if she poses nude the photos will be online forever.

Eighteen year olds do stupid shit, but every 18 year old knows this...

14. 18 year olds know this but might not understand the consequences.

When I was 18, I knew getting a DUI would stay with me forever but I went and got one anyways. Didn't seem like a big deal at the time.

At 46, I still have to list my DUI on every job application I fill out, a fact that's far more troubling to me today than it was back then.

18 year olds may be able to understand the details about what they're doing but few of them can comprehend the long-term consequences. 18 year olds don't visualize themselves at 46, or even 30. I know I didn't. They live in the here and now.

I can't imagine there's too many 28-30 year old women who say to themselves, "I'm so glad I earned $500 for that Casting Couch video I did 10 years ago that's still on-line!" I'm sure many of them today would give anything to take back that moment in time.
