According to CBS, only one porn star has tested positive for syphilis, but it has led to the entire adult entertainment industry to grind to a halt until everything is sorted out. An industry group called for a "voluntary moratorium" on making any more films as doctors test other porn stars and try to prevent an outbreak. Do you think the industry is right to go on a hiatus because of one porn star's STD contraction?

JEZEBEL.COM reports:
An adult film actor's positive syphilis test has prompted the entire industry to shut down temporarily while officials test other performers and investigate the possibility of an outbreak.

Actually I think its great of them to temporarily shut things down and check everyone out. It wont take long I'm sure and this way they can be positive they caught all the cases.

Shutting it down would be like closing all restaurants because one got shut down for a health violation

Unless you figure the one health violation was caused by a sponge that all the restaurants where sharing.

I own a production co and to my dismay I received a fax that filming has stopped which is bad thousands of dollars down the drain but keeping performers safe is top priority

I remember when the porn industry was asking the government for a bailout when the banks and the automotive giants were asking for them.They cited lack of sales.Maybe they can file for unemployment insurance this time.

Given the money involved in porn, I imagine that if they go on hiatus, its because the potential infection rate amongst porn stars could prove catastrophic. Besides, test 2 people and they can go and make a film. Not a big problem.

Umm...also...err...how do I put this delicately?

Duets may be on hold, but isn't that just an opportunity to have a...solo career?

Dude, if you've run out of porn to discover on the internet, I think there might be some psychological issues you need worked on.

It's called puberty, luke. You might experience it someday.

I've already gone through puberty. Not that the preceding factoid, or your piss-poor attempt at an insult, has anything at all to do with what I have posted.

Makes sense. If there is a fire in the kitchen, put it out before it engulfs the whole house.

Of all the fun making of the porn actors , and the mud thrown at the porn industry, at least their actors and industry has sense enough to come in out of the rain. If the porn industry and actors and/or any industry sees a serious problem and calls a halt to production until the problem is fixed , then I say hooray for their ability to self police. After all , it is the American Way to self police and use common sense when faced with serious problems.

The thing I can laugh at though is, guess which industry it was that pushed the internet out of DARPA and into everyone's hands?

Give ya a hint, it had nothing to do with science. :)

Don't forget the games. Porn and gaming- both of which have had plenty to do with computer science.

I think a brief break is more than understandable considering some people may test clean now but be incubating the disease and have it show up later - they can still spread it at this stage though.
