Luke Ford, Now With 100% More Douchebaggery
"If I was a great writer or reporter, do you think I'd be writing primarily on porn? No way. I'm only here because I'm not good enough (as yet) to make it anywhere else." —Luke Ford (at least he knows he's a no talent hack)
Like everyone in the adult entertainment industry, we read LukeIsBack on an almost daily basis. When he writes something attacking the industry, it doesn't really bother us. While we find his intentions in doing so a confused, muddled mess of hypocrisy, self-loathing and arrogance, he's pretty harmless. But then he's gotta go and say something like this:
"Nobody who could be shooting or writing for Vanity Fair magazine or Hollywood is making porn or writing about porn. Porn is a refuge for the lazy, for people who don't want to push themselves to do something noble."
First off, the structure of the first sentence is wrong. It should read:
"Nobody who could be writing for Vanity Fair or shooting for Hollywood is writing about porn or making porn."
Notice how the verbs correspond to their respective nouns? You think the writing skills of someone as prolific as Luke would actually improve over time. We sincerely hope he was being ironic when he wrote that sentence.
Secondly, saying that porn is a refuge for people who don't want to do something noble is a laughable concept given his mentioning of Vanity Fair and Hollywood. Since when has writing about Lindsay Lohan (recently featured on the cover of V.F.) become a noble pursuit? Since when did directing something like Garfield 2: A Tail of Two Kitties deem one worthy of a humanitarian award?
If he's going to make sweeping generalizations, he's got to use better examples to back up his claims.
We'll take writing about the Rose sisters over writing about the Hilton sisters any day of any week of any year. At least Ava and Mia know that they're whores—and awesome ones at that.
