WORLD WIDE WEB – The mainstream public is voting on the subject of the recently print-popular show, “Can you be a Porn Star?” According to a survey on TheJacksonChannel.com, 75% of the people surveyed said they will “not” watch the show, nor have any interest in the subject matter.

The reality show concept has hit a new low — or high — depending on how you feel about smut.
Its called “Can You Be a Porn Star?” — which is getting ready to hit the airwaves via pay-per-view cable in January.
According to the show’s Web site, 28 women will compete for a $100,000 and an “exclusive contract” to become the “adult industry’s hottest new porn star.”
Viewers of the seven one-hour shows will determine the fate of the contestants by voting on the show’s Web site, and see the footage deemed “too hot for TV.”
The show is being produced by Silhouette Productions, and its CEO Harry Feingold, told The Associated Press there won’t be any hardcore action on the cable version. He says it will be strictly “R” rated.
That’s not to say the show won’t push any boundaries.
“Pay-per-view gives us the freedom to take reality television where it has never gone before,” said Feingold on the show’s Web site. “While we expect this to be one of the biggest events in pay-per-view history, we know that it’s not just the reality of the adult film world, but the fun we have with it, that will drive interest in this series.”
Among the judges are adult video stars Tabitha Stevens, Ginger Lynn and recent California gubernatorial candidate Mary Carey.
