The funniest part is that they rely on pornstars right now to even get speaking gigs. Yale would not have brought in Craig and Donny to speak on their own. Nightline would not have dedicated that much time to those two. Ron Jeremy sells tickets, not some unknown "porn pastor". You take Ron out of the equation and they don't make squat. They need the porn business badly.
So while they yammer on about "exploitation", they are "exploiting" the porn industry and others. Donny exploits his ex-gf to draw attention to his new business. He exploits former models, ex-wives, even his own kid. He exploits people in the industry everyday by using them in his blog and speeches. For a man who hates himself for "exploiting" some college girls, he sure doesn't seem to mind "exploiting" everyone else in the world for profit.
It's just beyond ironic to hear a group complain about exploitation as they wrap their religion's most sacred book in a porn-themed cover for media attention.

Preach it!
You got my support.
if it was one word to describe all this without spin...........it it
Hypocrisy.
When craig gross is rocking around hollywood in a year or so and going to villa and hyde and all those pretentious clubs cuz he is a rockstar in jesus land, it will be porn that put him there. it will be US who put him in his ferrari. i bet they have already amassed millions in contributions to "fight" the bad porn people.
he'll be rolled up in a scandal someday and repeat the process of repenting.
"oh help me lord, i succumbed to the demons of wealth and i give myself to you jesus, please forgive me oh invisible excellence."
not to laugh at them, but i am a non believer. not because of adult. i believe what i know to be fact, not what the majority of children in the u.s. are forced to believe from birth. being american indian gives me an edge on this garbage. i am convinced that religion was created to twart anarchy. call me crazy but anyone can be influenced, including the MEN that wrote the bible and created all those stories about faith. thats a whole other discussion and one i am happy to have in the right setting, but not entirely appropriate here at this very moment.
