So Pika and I are sitting in traffic this morning, eating our breakfast sam'michs. And as we sit there waiting for the light that is green for no reason turn red so that we can one day hope to make it through the intersection we are discussing important matters. Matters of philosophical, political and geographic relevance. And a question dawns on me that I can honestly say has never once occurred to me in my entire life.
And let me tell you something, I have thought about alot of things. I know its hard to believe, but it's true. I spend alot of time in reflective comptemplation of the questions that plague our very existence and the nature of that existence. So imagine my amazement when I realized that by pure happenstance I had come across a matter that I have yet to pay any real attention to:
If you are a porn star, is that considered physical labor?
All I am going to say is that I could make a white collar joke here, but I don't feel like being banned today.
Prophet out.

Porn stars are considered menial laborers.. I.E. They perform duties and functions that don't require any special skills or education. The work they perform could be done by the average person.. The job they perform is usually shunned by the average person.
Now, this definition generally applies only to female porn stars.
Male porn stars jobs are envied by the average male. | | | |

Sorry, but the women are the ones to be envied.
At least in my eyes

AVN awards. Been there. It's usually right around CES in Vegas.
Makes for fun trips to Club Paradise. Now that is a funhouse for big boys (and open minded ladies).

Whoa, I had that you had to pay to be a male porn star. Who cares if its only %25 of what the women get, I don't hear any of the men complaining.
