Mums Making Porn! What! What! By Mrs Vera West, the Disgusted Granny

     This one must surely win the absurd story of the week prize for me, yet again. In fact, as long as this contest has been running, for a few weeks now, I forget how long, I have won. That comes from spending long hours on the internet, selecting only the juiciest, most succulent and fresh fish …  I mean stories, for your taste buds. Like this one, about a group of mothers so disgusted with online porn that their kiddies were watching, that rather than trying to ban such porn, or talk to their kids, they decided to make wholesome porn. Just like home style cooking, I suppose, only putrid:

“A group of five mothers were so disgusted by porn they found online they decided to make their own X-rated film that they would be happy to show their children. The women made their adult movie as part of a Channel 4 TV show called Mums Make Porn. Although they didn't star in the video themselves, they helped direct and produce it in a bid to create porn that is realistic and promotes positive attitudes towards sex. The three-part series follows their journey into the adult entertainment industry, which sees one mother so distressed by internet porn she quits the project altogether. One mother is reduced to tears by the violent, rape-based content they find and another throws up. At the end of the programme the women show the video to their children. Sarah Louise is a mother-of-six and works as a beautician in Bolton. As part of their research, she and her fellow participants were made to watch adult films based on violence, female submission and rape. The salon owner was so disturbed by what she had watched that she vomited. Sarah, 40, a wedding photographer from North Wales, cried while watching rape-based content during the mothers' research portion of the show.

She told the programme: 'If that was the first time I’d seen anything about sex I’d be petrified. I just thought all of a sudden that I was going to throw up. 'We need to show kids that there’s something else than this horrible s*** we see on the internet. 'If my son treated a woman like that I would kick his a*** to kingdom come. She added: 'Porn doesn’t represent normal women, the actors and actresses they use mislead kids. They need to realise it’s not normal.' Writing on Facebook, Sarah Louise was keen to stress she did not star in the film. She wrote: 'Firstly let me just clear something up, I haven’t stared in a porn movie, I have helped to produce and direct a film. 'In an age of technology we wanted to address the fact that teenagers and young adults are Using hard core porn as sex education. 'The Porn World is dominated primarily by men, so as a group of woman/mums we address our concerns, we provoke conversation into sex education and address topics such as consent, safe sex and equality.'”

     Empowered women, attempting to take on the male-dominated porn industry by making a “better” quality porn product. It sounds all-so free market and libertarian, but it is based on a flawed premise.  Porn is harmful and bad, and merely trying to repackage the product is like trying to serve up toxic food, where the bad odours have been hidden, for a time, by masses of herbs and spices. The same harm, though, results. The story does not detail what the children think of mummy porn, but it is probably going to be inadequate compared to the things that they have already witnessed, and will thus fail. The problem is watching porn in the first place, something lost on these mums.
