They have been trying to associate porn with rape for years, and now Mr. Black IS associating it, fake or not.
It is a stupid move in today's climate. Whether the movie is a year old, a week old or a 100 years old, he was still distributing it and it was a stupid move.
Sure we need envelope pushers to get realistic laws in place, but this shit is just stupid. Do you really want Porn associated with death and rape? I sure as hell don't.

Have you seen this video? The rape is hardly glorified. If you're judging the video based upon not seeing it, you're no different than those who protest everyone else's movies, music and videos that they themselves haven't seen.
Is it something I'm comfortable promoting? Not really, but that's my personal choice. I would never be so arrogant to think that my personal boundaries should be the industry guidelines.
As for the association? I don't really care. They are going to think what they think and it's not going to change their minds. Do you think just because you might have a pretty blonde with sexy lingerie in good lighting with her tits hanging out that it is any different in their minds?
The reason we make money in this business is that we are a taboo. We offer FANTASY. We sell a vice.
