Fallout of a recessionary economy : Lampooners take to writing porn
Sunday, November 15, 2009
If you're a fellow lampooner dealing with a literary market that is drying up, here is one genre that is wet with opportunity : Porn Writing.
Porn really brings out one's juices. Creative or otherwise. Use your parodying skills to flesh out characters till they are well endowed, and put more meat into the story. Remember : Perversity and puns go hand in hand.
The greatest porn films stand out in their titular splendour. Adapt a classic film, the recent animated hit Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 3D for example, into a pornographic script with the title Cloudy with a Chance of Meat between my Balls 3D and voila, you have a potential hit at the BO.
Translate a classic film into another language and the unintended humour of dialogue-meaning lost, or worse, mangled in translation ensures a BO hit. Take the case of the theatrical release of Jumper in Spain. Mispronunciation of the title because of the differences in phonetic pronunciation in the two languages and you've got Spaniards rushing to the theatres to watch Humper. Who would've seen that coming, eh?
When the market does show signs of recovering, a few lampooners will still remain, writing the scripts of your favourite porn films. Perhaps to continue an alternate source of income, or just out of sheer interest. Who knows?

About This Blog
The Loony Lampoonist serves to parody, spoof and satirize everything that needs to be parodied, spoofed and satirized. Due to the fictional nature of this electronic journal, any anecdotes appearing here ever so often that seem to be personal in nature, would suffer from the effects of conflicting personalities, the creation of fictional events and the inclusion of non existent characters who did not make it to the big league in the author's literary works. Thus, the Loony Lampoonist is also a purgatory for characters and ideas that have missed the limelight.
