How much trouble would I get into if....

We were tossing around video titles tonight for our next production. We have a title called "melon balls" coming out soon, as well as one called "Big 9" which is the size of the muscle guy in the video.....but anyway...back to the subject at hand...

What would happen if we produced a gay asian adult video titled.....

"The Passion of the Rice"?

How many republicans would it piss off?

Would we have jesus freaks camped outside our offices, if not having our offices blown up?

Would we incur the wrath of the GWB Justice Department?

I thought probably best not to produce this title.....for a zillion reasons....but it sure sounded funny ..

Your thoughts on producing this title?

Personally I think the rice stuff is a bit insulting to Asians, but I am all for pissing off the religious right, I do not think you can make them hate you more than they do.

I do love the idea of a “Passion” parody, but like my British friends say in for a penny in for a pound, if your going to do it do it all the way or do not do it at all.

It will take some real balls to do that, and could blow up in your face, but even bad press is good press as long as its legal

hi tom :D

you would for sure land as a thread on the "Axis of Evil", then anti-abortion activits would camp in front the office - without knowing why. Harccore Christians would threaten not to compare Ma'am Rice with Jesus otherwise they will call for Apocalypse, now! Mr. Rice would plot a war against tell GWB oh how much of a bad boy you are and that he should send his toy troops over that little toy computer game he has..

You would look out of the window wondering why all those people are on your lawn, yelling and threatening at the guy they think did all those evil, evil deeds - that guy next to your window... The flow of information was not too good yet :D

I think you would get maybe threat-emails by christians - maybe not. Mr Rice is way too occupied to watch gay porn in her office - she leaves that to her secretaries...

Look - if EON Films' Rocky is producing "The Dicks of Hazzard" which is very close to the Duke series and doesn't get into trouble (and I believe competitors are more serious about trouble and govt) you should give it a go in your thoughts :D

I know I am on his ignore list.

MANY asians love Rice Queens. And there are good and bad ones. And MANY asians freely admit they are sticky rice or potatoe queens.

Ughhh...

Were you thinking for just the 'Title' or are you planning on Shooting the content with that sort of theme?

I think the results would vary depending on the above.

Depending on the content, I think you'd be fine. If you just did some Asian fuck scenes, I'm not even sure that the religious zealots would "get it".

Now, if you showed an Asian guy on the cross getting blown or something then you might have some issues...

I don’t know about that man, I used to watch 7th heaven just to see David Gallagher :thumbsup: Now that I think about it all the guys I really like look the same, just like my first BF :wacko:

The Dad on that show was HOT too yummy

Back on topic... I think The Passion of the Rice is a great title and I don't think any Asians would be offended as they seem to have a great sense of humor

Maybe your right, but what if I made a ebony movie and called it Passion of the Watermelon, or a Latino movie and called it Passion of the Taco, people would really want to crucify me then for sure. That was just part of my thinking, just joking about it will piss some people off. I am sure its a bit apples and oranges maybe but it is weird how that stuff works sometimes :angry:

I wouldn't worry about the Republicans. "Rice" is kind of broad. You could be referring to Anne Rice. I would think Passion of the Rice would lampoon Democrats.... referencing Donna Rice's extramarital yachting fling with Colorado Senator Gary Hart which ended his 1988 Presidential campaign, who would have probably beaten Michael Dukakis for the Democratic nomination that year. An interesting what if scenario.....

And I also think that the Rice reference is potentially pejorative. Would you be comfortable releasing an all Black movie named Fried Chicken Freaks ?

are you sitting down, max? i hope so because... (get ready for this)

lmmfao @ "passion of the taco" Sounds like a hardcore lesbian title.

Fuck em. Do what you want, how you want.

I have to agree with the "go aheaders" of this group. Titles that have a little bit of an offensive side to them draw more people to them. And its all in good fun really. Plus I have seen far worse and nothing ever really seems to come out of it.

Hmmm.

Do any search on any major search engine for Chocolate Gay, see what you get.... as the black community has wrongly been the subject of repeated racism for centuries, don't you think they would have been pummelling down the doors of these studios, both straight and gay, if the term "chocolate" referring to them in a slang methodology had any perceived inferences to racism? Heck, many times "Chocolate" movies are produced by black men themselves and titled and marketed under those terms.

Search for "The Rice Queen Diaries" on amazon

Search for "Potatoe Queen" on amazon

Read the reviews. I dont' see anyone calling these racist or negative in any way.

the Urban Dictionary assigns meaning to it as "homosexual male that is only attracted to latino guys"

or in the same reference you can look up the term "Rice Queen" and see that it even talks about the terminology "does not necessarily project a racist ideal of the submissive Asian..."

or perhaps "Potatoe Queen"

The point being these are all slang terms, in an urban vocabulary and are not
meant to be racist.....often times used by the person of that race themselves.

I'm the RICE! :)
