I was always under the impression that when a press release
or news piece gets submitted, the facts are checked before anyone prints it.
Well, I guess that is not the case, at least in the adult
industry. I was talking to a social media representative; he told me they don’t
check facts. So, basically I could write a press release that I was marrying
the Prince of Dubai and it would get printed, without checking anything.
First off, why would someone write a press release or news
piece full of lies? I mean sooner or later people are going to get that its
bullshit? Like my press release about marrying the Prince. If I never got
married, I would look like a liar and a publicity whore. When I say something I
do it. I guess there will always be people out there that will say anything to
get attention. They jerk off seeing their name and face in print.
Is it irresponsible of the media outlets to not fact check?
Was there ever fact checking in the adult industry? I wonder if TMZ fact
checks, or follows up on any stories. Does the mainstream media fact check
before they release a press release?
With the age of social media, there is just so much stuff
coming in to them. Do they need content more then they need integrity? With all
the internet news sites, it must be about content.
It is so easy these days to create a fake life. Twitter and Facebook
are great outlets for that. Why does someone need or want to create a fake
life? I don’t understand it! Well, I do understand it, but I just can’t wrap my
mind around it. If I wasn't a public figure (for lack of a better word), I wouldn't even have a Twitter or Facebook account.
Social media is a great way to promote projects, besides its
internet fan mail. Does anyone write letters anymore? It’s all about instant gratification these
days, and snail mail is not instant. Way to slow to get the fix that is needed
NOW. I guess it could be like an addiction,
especially if you are unhappy with your life, and want to be someone else.
Sure, when I was young and just starting my career in adult,
I loved seeing myself in magazines (remember those). It was a thrill for a
young shy girl from PA to see herself in print. These days the less I see
myself in print the better. The next time I want to see myself in print is on
the cover of my Comedy Central Show DVD.
Rebecca, you are right, I understand you perfectly and sorry you can not do anything to change it. Many people do not have better things to do than tell lies to have them moment of glory. Because for example, why would you think that serves twitter? People are wanting to have followers.
ReplyDeleteAbout your kind of work... you should know what were the reasons that made you want to be and get to where you have come.
Everything in life has a price. What is yours? Are you willing to accept?
Yes, to be in the adult business has a huge price on it. Yet it is taken so lightly. I did not know what I was in for. Even after I was told by Nina Hartley. I wouldn't change anything looking back. I am in a great place now! Other may not think that way about themselves.
ReplyDeleteRebecca, I have a question. Do you truly think magazines are dead? I was thinking of starting one but after reading something you wrote (can't find it now) I am wondering if it is worth it. Also, where is there information on your comedy?
ReplyDeleteWell, Hustler is stopping in the next year. My comedy http://www.laughstub.com/buyTicket.cfm?
