Porn studio puts city in a kink

[Exogenous]

I certainly undersand that not everyone is into the lifestyle, yet, I'm not sure I completely understand why this is a big deal.

More political bullshit. Having a movie studio does not mean that it will attract perverts to the property. It's not like they are going to be inviting everyone that stops in at the door to come in and fuck.

oh, these are the people that make hogtied... i always liked that website

Kink.com, which distributes its videos on X-rated Web sites with names such as Hogtied and Men in Pain, bought the old State Armory in the Mission District for $14.5 million, saying the vacant building's dark Moorish architecture would make a perfect backdrop for fetish films.

"The basements in particular have a creepy, dungeony feel that is quite appropriate," said Kink.com founder Peter Acworth, who planned the first leather-clad shoot this week in the building where troops trained for six decades.

Acworth, 36, negotiated with the previous owner quietly to avoid a backlash until the deal was done earlier this year.



And who said there was no money in porn?
36 and shelling out those sort of $$$.

In San Francisco? Say it ain't so!

This:

"While not wanting to be prudish, the fact that kink.com will be located in the proximity to a number of schools gives us pause," Mayor Gavin Newsom — who is caught up in his own sex scandal, admitting he had an affair with the wife of his campaign manager — said in a statement this week.

made me lol.

If you ask then to not film on the outside of building, there shouldn't be a problem, not like some dude with x-ray vision is going be complaining about what he sees or anything.
