"Lipstick on a pig" is an excellent metaphor for this thing labeled by the shuck and jive crowd as "adult entertainment". Additionally, it would not be inaccurate to associate it with the old vaudeville acts of long ago. This is more comedy than anything else.
If you wade through their catalogs of film product, you'll laugh your bums off. I mean....this stuff is really, really funny! There is nothing sexual or sensuous...or even adult about it. It's as if a 5th grade class of pimple-faced boys just found out about sex and are leafing through a copy of National Geographic.
The titles and the narratives are so over the top. Everything is hyped to the max. There is no way, literally, a rational, reasoned adult is anywhere near the production of this crap. But the real fear of the rocket scientists in this "industry" is the internet: Real people...doing their lovemaking for free....will put them out of business.
As for some lawyer whining about 2257 compliance, well, he's got to do something to keep his clients all lathered up about nonexistent bogeymen. You have to generate bill-able hours or you'll lose your partnership status.
