Family Gets Porn Documentary Instead Of Mormon Boy-Band DVD
Edited on Thu Oct-06-05 06:42 AM by matcom
<snip>

SALT LAKE CITY -- Mormon music fans thought they were getting a DVD about the squeaky clean boy band Everclean. Instead, they got "Adored: Diary of a Porn Star."

Two Utah families reported the packaging mix-up after buying DVDs at Deseret Book stores, which are owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). The DVDs were pulled from the shelves.

"We will not put it back on our shelves until we're 100 percent sure it's the proper disc that goes into the packaging," said Deseret Book spokeswoman Gail Halladay.

The PG-rated "Sons of Provo" chronicles the life of an LDS boy band, Everclean.

"Adored: Diary of a Porn Star" is an unrated movie about an adult film star who reconnects with his family, said Corey Eubanks, spokesman for Wolfe Video, a distributor of films featuring gay and lesbian characters.

"It's not a porn film at all," Eubanks said. "It's just about someone who is a porn actor."

Both films hired the same Los Angeles company to make DVD copies of their movies. Somewhere in the process, "Adored" discs were packaged as "Sons of Provo."

3. They are missing the real scandal:
What if there are people who bought "Adored" and got "Sons of Provo"?
Do they have any idea what emotional scaring that might cause? Who will pay for the therapists, which unsuspecting people subjected to LDS music will surely need?

:scared:

10. reminds me of a skit from "Bottom":
(both watching a rented video)
Richie: It's not very sexy, is it?
Eddie: No. I must say, I expected a lot more from "The Furry Honeypot Adventure".
Richie: I think this is for kids you know Eddie. I think those Hussein brothers saw you coming again. Well, what else did you get?
Eddie: "Big Jugs"
(laughs)
Richie: "Big Jugs"! All right!
(reads box)
Richie: "A history of pottery in the nineteenth century." Anything else?
Eddie: Well this one's a sure-fire hit. Look. "Swedish Lesbians in Blackcurrant Jam".
Richie: Yabba-dabba-doo!
(reads)
Richie: No Eddie, it's "Swedish Legends in Blackcurrant Jam Making."
Eddie: Aw, come on, it's got to be dirty, it says "Swedish"!

12. Everwood, about a CO town, is filmed in Utah. Dictionary selling Evers
so they bought them cheap. So there's Everclean, Everwood, forEver. I guess they bought three Evers unless they bought them by the ton in which case we'll be seeing Ever forever.

19. I can only imagine "Joseph Smith" as a Wesley Willis song
"Once upon a time, there was a guy in New York state
he dug up a bunch of gold plates out of a hill
he wore some goggles and translated them from middle Egyptian
he was a badass mutha..."

"JOSEPH SMITH, JOSEPH SMITH
JOSEPH SMITH, JOSEPH SMITH"

Rock over Deseret, Rock on Provo...
