What was that about 'porn movie producers'?


The RNC's "bimbo" ad in Tennessee last week obviously captured so much attention for its racist elements, but in its litany of criticisms against Rep. Harold Ford (D-Tenn.), the RNC also accused the Democratic hopeful as having taken political contributions from "porn movie producers."
As it turns out, it's funny the RNC would highlight this as a problem.
It turns out that the Republican National Committee is a regular recipient of political contributions from Nicholas T. Boyias, the owner and CEO of Marina Pacific Distributors, one of the largest producers and distributors of gay porn in the United States. This recent article on Marina Pacific's new marketing campaign form XBiz, a porn industry trade sheet, notes that, in addition to producing its own material, the "company acts as a distribution house to hundreds of lines, mostly gay, 40 of which can be purchased only through MPD."
The company actually seems to be a trendsetter in the industry. As Boyias recently noted, "We have always modeled ourselves after a Fortune-style company. They are the models of exceptional customer service. We have formed strategic alliances with our vendors and customers alike, offering them tools and marketing to assist them in succeeding with their business models. Our one-on-one interpersonal relationships have never been duplicated in the distribution industry."
Some recent releases include "Fire in the Hole", "Flesh and Boners", even a "Velvet Mafia" series.
Boyias, apparently, has been quite generous to the Republican establishment, contributing to both the RNC and the NRCC.
