Hey, I'm All for Free Market Opportunities

From Ananova, a story of how cheap labor effects us all.

OK, not really.

Actor's unions are threatening an Italian porn film director with legal action for paying only "alcohol and energy drinks" to enthusiastic amateurs.

The director, named only as Cesare, put an ad in local papers in Arad, western Romania, after running out of "cheap but professional" stars for his low budget film shoots.
[...]
The director told the National daily: "The men are happy with what they are being asked to do. They do it for fun. They only get whisky and energy drinks during shooting but they are not complaining."

You know, some jobs are just too easy to fill...

Read the story.

Sweet! I wonder how much a one-way ticket to Romania costs?

See? Poor union porn guys--people would even pay to take their place.

Of course, it's well known that I'm a pig.
