Hey
Johann Hari, a columnist at the Independent Newspaper in London, would like to interview some porn actresses for a column he intends to write about the industry. If you are an actress available to be interviewed in London in the next few days could you please get back to me asap. He is particularly interested in girls who regularly star in hardcore scenes.
My email address is
thomcostello@gmail.com
Thanks
Thom

Why go through you? surely the Independant can afford an email address for him?
Girls, be careful giving out personal info to free email addresses!

Once again this show the best way how not to get anyone from the industry to talk... erm.. I know ... get a gmail, hotmail or freemail account and then post.. duuur, banging head against wall. How fucking unprofessional Thom. Hope you have learnt a lesson here.

Columnists and journalists often use researchers who cannot be granted professional email addresses. It was an oversight of me not to realise the sensitivity of the request and I hope you will be satisfied that I have now provided an official email.
Apologies again.

Whatever you think of Johann's opinions on immigrants, there is no way you can call him an anti-porn moralist. In fact, Johann has repeatedly defended pornography against charges of immorality from the religious or from calls for censorship from some feminists. He opposes the new ban on extreme porn and is deeply to commited to the rights of those who work in porn. This article would be a completely open-minded and sympathetic look at the people who work in the industry.
Thanks again

What do you think freelancers do guys?
What do you think most students researchers do?
I worked as a freelance researcher for the BBC on a youth culture documentary and I worked from a yahoo address or through messageboards!!
And any halfit can set up a website and allocate themself an official looking e-mail address if they choose to.
