LOCAL LIVE PORN SHOW CANCELED!

Image via Gothamist.comHave you heard about the completely glass master bedroom and bathroom in Cobble Hill where a fabulous looking couple (he’s a Versace model, she works for the UN but has a sick bod) f*** all night long with whips and chains in giant squirrel costumes with Marie Antoinette wigs?  There’s a reclaimed teak seating platform on Court Street and you only have to wait in line for 45 minutes to get your viewing wristband (good for 15 minutes worth of FREE viewing!). You can even grab an artisanal popcorn and Blue Sky Organic Root Beer from the new food truck, PornCorn, which parks on the corner of Court and President.  Cobble Hill Cinemas is pissed because their ticket sales have gone down 80% in just one week, but come on, who wants to watch Oprah in a serious role anyway???  It’s summertime baby!

The good folks at Gothamist broke the story on August 16^th.  CBS picked it up and aired it as a local segment later that night.  Three days later, the Daily Mail filed a piece on the issue (yes, the UK Daily Mail).  PIX 11 news, The New York Observer, the Atlantic Wire, and HuffPo followed suit.  Only THEN did anyone actually do any reporting.  NY Mag got in touch with the owners/wild exhibitionists and found out that they 1) don’t really have glass anything and 2) aren’t wild exhibitionists (the PornCorn truck was a lie too).  Harumph.  Apparently, NY Mag is run by Will McAvoy.*  They don’t go public until they have the REAL CIVILIZED TRUTH.

Here at FIPS, we practice quality control: we wait for everyone to do all the hard reporting work for us, allow the controversy and bullshit to come and go, and then make fun of the whole thing way too long after the fact.  Cowardly, sure, but a hell of a lot easier.
