AIDS activists file complaint against Larry Flynt
Source: Associated Press

LOS ANGELES – An AIDS activist group filed a workplace safety complaint against Larry Flynt on Thursday, accusing the porn king of creating an unsafe environment for his stable of sex stars by not requiring they use condoms.

To illustrate its point, the AIDS Health Foundation also delivered 100 DVDS of hardcore Flynt films to the state Division of Occupational Safety and Health's Los Angeles office. Only a single scene in one of the films shows a performer using a condom, said AHF spokesman Ged Kenslea.

The films, most with innuendo-laden names, "clearly demonstrate workplace activities highly likely to spread bloodborne pathogens in the workplace," the complaint says. It urges the state agency to order the use of condoms on film sets.

Larry Flynt Productions President Michael Klein indicated that is an unreasonable demand, adding porn audiences don't want to watch people using condoms.

Sounds like some investigator for that government agency is about to get himself a nice new stash.

I wonder if Flynt can find some computer geeks who've never gotten laid to edit out the condoms? :rofl:

But seriously I commend the AIDS activists for speaking out against Flynt. This case will really be interesting.

Oh yeah, the abstinence industry once again has to face the backfiring of years of "protection doesn't work" propaganda...FUNDED BY OUR TAX DOLLARS...an insult to hardworking American scientists.

3. porn stars have a lower rate of AIDS than the general population
Maybe the rest of us should be doing what they do.
