Agent Offers Porn Flick Profits to Canada Hospital
Thu Apr 14, 2005 03:11 PM ET

TORONTO (Reuters) - A porn star's first, and last, film about lesbian sex could end up boosting the coffers of Canada's best known children's hospital, if the agent for dead actress Natel King has his way.

Agent Stephan Sirard said he had approached Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children about accepting the proceeds from King's last movie, "Lesbian Lover," in memory of the 23-year-old Canadian star, who was stabbed to death last year in the United States.

"It's her first original solo... All the proceeds would go to Sick Kids' Hospital," Sirard told Reuters.

Sirard said lawyers for his FCF agency in California had asked the hospital if they could highlight the promised gift on the cover of their video, using wording like "all proceeds from the sale of this video go to Sick Kid's Hospital in Toronto."

But hospital spokeswoman Carol Duncan said she has not heard anything about the issue, and she declined to say how the hospital might react to a donation of this kind.

"We have to send the issue to the ethics committee and the board of directors for consideration," she said.

That kind of shit drives me nuts. Fucking ingrateful bastards. if someone cares enough to help you out be gracious enough to accept it.

I disagree totally.

Why make the offer of a gift you suspect may embarrass the orgainisation.

Also notice how it has got into the media.

I would bet that The Children's Hospital didn't alert the media to get publicity.....

Frankly yet again this is another situation of a pornographer trying to make himself look cool because of his "fantastic charity effrorts"

Wankers.....

Why didn't they just sell the video , take the proceeds and send them to the hospital anonomously???

Surely if they wanted to really help that would be the correct action.

not to have a children's hospital smeared over a porn video...

I mean..come on.

Typical no class wanker....

(yes ,I feel strongly about this shit)

I agree...It is done everyday by individuals who would prefer to remain anonymous.

A very reasonable position to be sure as I certainly agree the publicity wasn't necessary. I don't advertise what I do and would certainly handle a donation like that very quietly. I just can't help but think though that if I were the one at the hospital that had to make the decision on the donation I'd just tell anyone who had a problem with it that the money was helping me do my job of saving kids lives.

Valid point...

I think a little bit of class in the approch is in order.

again , I strongly disagree.

Accepting such a donation may well, given the political climate, actually result in an over all decline in total donations.

Rightly or wrongly I am sure this is a consideration.


ie Mr and Mrs W or the XYZ Corp may find other worthy institutions to endow rather than your porn associated hospital.

I'll not imagine that... with it being illegal and just down right wrong!

Funny thing
The John's Hopkins Children's Miracle Network never had problems cashing donation checks from Cloud 9 Entertainment

But they may have never bothered to check what Cloud 9 Entertainment really is

hmmm and the drug companies are totally kosher and above reproach allegedly lol

Disgustingly cordial thread.

Makes me miss the days of "Fuck you. I get out my broom stick and jam it up your ass, you miserable cocksucker!"

:P

[sarettah]

Still think money is money....

Now, the advertising on the box part.. I can see a place being sqeamish about that a bit. But, if it just on the box, then the only folks that would see it are folks seeking out porn and when Mr and Mrs W or the XYZ Corp complain it would be fair to ask "how did you know about that ?"

just imho of course... :yowsa:
