Homely British singing sensation Susan Boyle has been offered $1 million to make a porn flick.

The plain Jane superstar with the spellbinding voice would have to lose her virginity on camera to earn the seven-figure payday from Los Angeles-based Kick Ass Films.

"We want to get this movie shot and out while Susan has the world's attention," said Kick Ass boss Mark Kulkis. "Besides, after 47 years of virginity, I'm sure Susan is also anxious to get something cracking as soon as possible."

1. That's awesome.

I predicted that, but neglected to post my prediction.

[JVS]

2. Ah fame!

[Dennis Donovan]

3. Worst. Idea. EVER.

:puke:

[Captain Hilts]

4. Sick pervs. nt

[rcrush]

5. I believe this was the goal of the American Idol producers all along.

They are some dirty bastards.

[HereSince1628]

6. As they say in Arkansas...That Ain't Right!

I am embarrassed for NYDailynews.com
I am embarrassed for Dave Goldiner
I am embarrassed for Mark Kulkis

Because none of these people are embarrassed for themselves to be involved in such a story.

[Frustratedlady]

7. That's sick. Shame on them for even printing such a thing.

[CTyankee]

8. The poor woman has some brain damage and these guys want to exploit

her? This is emotional rape IMHO. I hope she is shielded from much of this...she needs good friends around her, now that her parents are gone.

[ZombieHorde]

21. I am unfamiliar with the phrase, "emotional rape", can you explain it to me?

[CTyankee]

25. I would say it is a torment that she might feel upon hearing this.

It was my terminology. Knowing that people want to exploit you in that fashion is pretty awful, IMO. She has a disability and I think this is a cruel jab at her.

[ZombieHorde]

28. What is her disability?

37. Wow, that disease is even more rare than her singing talent. nt

[yodermon]

38. huh?

link?

[CTyankee]

41. Her parish priest told the press that she had a brain injury at birth due to lack of oxygen in the

birth process. I don't know the name of it. But it does happen. I personally know a woman who gave birth to twins, one of whom had the lack of oxygen problem at birth and ended up with cerebral palsy.

[Ilsa]

51. When was that info released? I wouldn't have guessed that. nt

[CTyankee]

53. well, the priest talked about it this last week. I don't know if anything more has transpired since

then. But it has given me a whole new view of Susan Boyle. I now believe that she is in need of some friends and protectors, to keep her from the excesses of outside influences. She needs good people around her to keep her safe.

[Rhiannon12866]

56. Here ya go...

:hi:

[CTyankee]

65. Thanks Rhiannon!

How are you doing? Hope all is well with you.

[Rhiannon12866]

71. Hello, my friend! And thank you... Great to see you!

We're doing okay, my little dog and me. I wish that I had a crystal ball to predict the future, but I distracted myself by working straight out for the last two weeks of the Scott Murphy campaign. :-) And my little guy is a distraction, all by himself... :D

posted pic -> ;)

Rhiannon :hi:

[joeybee12]

9. This is incredibly offensive...she's only being offered this because she is

not, shall we say, "traditionally beautiful". It's a way to make fun of her looks. But what else do you expect from some smut peddlar whose looking for his own 15 minutes of fame.

[sammythecat]

46. exactly n/t

[tridim]

10. This is why you should never let someone like Simon Cowell assess your talent.

Octomom must be pissed.

[jazzjunkysue]

48. Thank you.

Reason returns to DU, if only momentarily.

[bkkyosemite]

11. Horny Bastards! Disgusting! I feel sorry that she even had to hear that offer.

It must have really hurt her feelings.

[mudesi]

12. I Hope She Accepts

A million bucks is a million bucks.

[jmowreader]

13. They did LOOK at her before they made the offer, right?

I'm sorry, kids, but someone who (1) doesn't look good and (2) hasn't ever had sex before isn't who I want to see doing the nasty.

I try not to be superficial, but porn is all about superficial.

[n2doc]

22. Well, they offered the octomom the same to do a porn flick

Looks don't enter into it. They want a circus.

[mudesi]

23. Actually, I Think Octomom Is Sorta Cute

[jmowreader]

39. People would watch an Octoporn flick. Susan Boyle, OTOH...

I love this one: Larry King asked Susan Boyle, who doesn't wear makeup, if she'd considered having a makeover. She said something about how she saw no reason to change anything about herself.

Well, Susan, I can think of one reason to "change anything about yourself": you can't see your mouth from the second row!

[Blackhatjack]

14. Looks Like A Porn Company Decided To Get Some Free Publicity...

They didn't pay a dime to get all of this media coverage --and all they had to do was dream up a perverse offer to a popular person.

They obviously subscribe to the old maxim 'there is no such thing as bad publicity.'

[RufusTFirefly]

24. Bingo! We have a winnah!

That's all it is. Just a crasser version of what every other media company has been doing with Ms. Boyle.

[whathehell]

33. It's more than "crass"...It's mean and it's ugly.

[RufusTFirefly]

35. But the motivation is the same

Cashing in on Boyle's talent.
You don't believe, for example, that Larry King had her on his show as a gesture of goodwill, do you?

[whathehell]

64. I think there is a decided difference in this respect...

Larry King has a LOT of people on his show..."Cashing in" can be thought of as a simply doing business.

The "porn" idea as another poster mentioned, had, as it's "selling point" the idea of laughing at her...It's demeaning and mean-spirited.

Also...I don't see dorky, unattractive MEN being offered parts in porn movies.

[riverdeep]

66. Actually, there was that freak from 'Saved by the Bell',

that guy they called Screech. I never watched that piece of debris that made TV even stupider than it already was, so I don't know the particulars. Anyway, either someone offered him money to make a movie or he made it and was promoting it. In either case, it was one layer of sickness and perversity piled one on another. This was around the time her highness Paris Hilton came to fame via an 'accidental' release of a porn tape, so the copycats were forming.

[Cowpunk]

15. Who would recommend this thread? NT

[mudesi]

20. I Did

I love to see the hypocrisy and delusion of so many people.

[kestrel91316]

16. The only thing worse than this offer is your posting it here.

How meanspirited and hurtful can you get?

[babylonsister]

17. Whaaa. It's 'news', whether you like it or not. nt

[populistdriven]

30. lol you owe me a 'pass'

luv ya

[mudesi]

19. LOL

What an idiotic thing to say. It's a news story.

[JVS]

32. I've seen a new ethos, according to which it is appropriate to screen the news for content, ...

developing here recently. In another thread a poster was chastised for not screening the news of the torture memos from his 9 year old son.

[nichomachus]

31. A cottage industry has grown up in belittling and demeaning Susan Boyle

The fact that it's thriving here makes DU pretty much on a par with Free Republic, a direction it's been heading in since Jan. 20 anyway.

[Mopar151]

55. Well said, hear, hear n/t

[eShirl]

18. Publicity stunt. n/t

[Riceburningluva]

26. I am not sure how I feel about this

She seems like a nice person and I would hate for her to catch a disease.

[Fireweed247]

27. why is this on the greatest page? FOCUS people.

The Harman story is huge! We have to be the ones to get the story out there.

Please, this story is awful!

[opihimoimoi]

29. They are DESPICABLE....trying so hard to sully this sweet innocent thing for profit no less

THIS IS SICK

[mudesi]

40. What Is Sick About It?

Why do you people feel like Susan Boyle isn't a grown up capable of accepting or declining the offer on her own? Why is she so goddamn fragile that you people are offended/embarrassed FOR her, like she was some child?

Who is really insulting Susan Boyle in this thread?

[CTyankee]

42. She has a disability. She was oxygen deprived at birth resulting in brain damage.

Her parish priest says she needs help in managing her life because of it.

Please stop with this. It is unbecoming to you and it is ignoble. She IS fragile, esp. since her parents have died and she needs friends to help and to protect her.

If you cannot understand that simple human message, you are quite lost.

[opihimoimoi]

45. Thank you.....very much..... :o)

[jazzjunkysue]

49. Yes, but how do you explain all the people in the world who watch this moronic excuse for a show?

At least she's got a good excuse.

[opihimoimoi]

63. It looks like 1,000 000 YOUTUBE hits.....its gone past moronic

[riverdeep]

68. I think post 14 points out the sick aspect of it.

It's a publicity stunt, designed to profit the porn company. Not that I expect ethical behavior from porn companies.

Anyway, next time you're at a party, walk up to someone's wife or husband (your preference), with the S.O. standing there, and ask her to suck your cock or clit for $100. Keep screaming "No harm done, it was just a question!" while you're being beaten senseless.

[Toucano]

60. +1

There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
And it's filled with people who are filled with shit...
Turning beauty into filth and greed!

[Froward69]

34. I say hurry and go for it... before the righties proclaim

her a saint and wholesome. like some sort of ideal.
the virginity part not the talent part.

she has more talent than the last "10" Mickey Mouse clubbers combined.

[derby378]

43. Mark Kulkis IS a Republican

And apparently, he's one of those "Any ol' way to make a buck" Republicans, even if it means turning people into sideshow exhibitions.

This is really sad.

[CTyankee]

47. That is not the point and you know it. In your heart you know that this woman is a human being

and she had been brain damaged at birth and as such she is vulnerable to people trying to exploit her. Don't YOU be one of them! Just stop. Please just stop. A disabled person is not someone you want to mock and denigrate.

Karma awaits if you don't. I would hope you have a decency in your soul that prevents you from going that far...

[Froward69]

69. WHO SAID SHE WAS DISABLED???

and who said she was not a human being? you must admit now that her talent has been recognized she sure as hell will exploit it herself.

I am not mocking nor denigrating her. if she were to do the porn it would be up to her. no one else.

Like Paris Hilton or that guy Bobbitt... Curiosity would the only reason for a viewing anyway.

I for one do not see porn as denigrating nor mocking. nor do i see porn actresses as disabled in any way. on the contrary. i see porn as the one industry that has put the compensation question on the other foot. as Men in porn are paid less than 1/3rd the amount (or less) as Women are.

[-..__...]

44. They need to get Abe Vigoda as one of her suitors.

[jazzjunkysue]

50. Shit. Funniest reply to this topic, yet.

:rofl:

[Fire1]

54. Isn't he dead?

[dustbunnie]

61. Huh? I'll take him, smart, tall and funny.

[RedCappedBandit]

52. Isn't it wonderful..

that our society finds it perfectly acceptable to dehumanize people simply for not looking like some bullshit definition of normal.

[Mopar151]

57. Ya know the craziest thing about it, Red?

The porn biz is quite egalatarian, compared to pop culture. Go to a voyuer or "amature" website, and you'll see folks uglier 'n a bag of hammers. Which ones? All dependin' on tastes... Only thing for sure, no 2 of us share the exact same list of either hot or not.

[seabeyond]

59. we are willing and eager to dehumanize our females of all shapes, sizes

and "norms".

[dustbunnie]

62. No we aren't. It's the idiotic women with their fucking blather who keep us down.

Who the fuck is listening to this? People who go out every day? No. As evidence proves on DU.

I wish you women who worship this gel, would leave other women the fuck out of it.

Your world o' women and the long suffering shit has not a thing to do with my idea of how I want to live.

[AnnieBW]

58. Bottom-feeders

That's just sick. :grr: :puke:

[Mari333]

67. she will laugh at them.

if she even hears about it. laugh and laugh. The gentle and kind people usually just laugh at the stupid ones. and the stupid ones will sulk away to their lairs. angels always laugh.

[Occam Bandage]

70. How disturbing. nt

[and-justice-for-all]

72. tasteless..nt

[ecstatic]

73. Never been kissed?

wow
