Porn Valley- The Shirley Temple of Porn, Sunny Lane, was on the good ship KSEX Wednesday night doing her co-host thing. Naturally, Wankus, her Mr. Bojangles, brought up Lane’s appearance the night before on ABC’s Primetime. www.adultfyi.com/read.php?ID=21829
A caller-in named John, from New Tork, kicked things off.
“I don’t understand why what she does is not considered legit,” he said. “I don’t understand why everyone says it’s a soul-sucking. You want soul-sucking try retail, That’s soul-sucking.”
Lane feels the adult industry is legit as a business.
“I believe in it and it’s a $15B a year business,” she added. “We’re trend setters. We set trends out there in the world.” Wankus noted that the ABC cameras which followed Lane around gave KSEX about a second of air time.
“And they showed the Listeners Choice Awards,” Lane reminded him.
“That was when Sunset Thomas was spanking your butt- that was a quickie; you could see the KSEX sign but that was real quick,” said Wankus. “All you could see was [David} Beitchman our trendy little lawyer.” Wankus went on to say, without naming names [Tony Batman], how a former KSEX host got some unwarranted props.
“That was kind of fucking stupid- you know who I’m talking about; go to Wayne Manor and you’ll figure it out.”
“It wasn’t like the Belladonna-thing,” Wankus added. “The interview with Belladonna years ago- similar to this- and the whole thing was just slanted to make everyone look like shit in the porn industry. They took you – the two pornies from Tampa, you and Sophia Lynn, that train wreck from Adam & Eve. She was on the [KSEX] show in November. She I guess was the bad example of what porn can do to you. I guess that’s the angle they were going for. And you were the never-break proud of what I do, fuck-you example.”
Asked if Lane wanted his honest opinion, Wankus thought she did great.
“I think you shined- I think you did great. Overall, in general, you commanded that positive, real aura that you have. Nothing they could throw at you- and the guy tried to throw you a couple of curveballs- nothing they could throw at you shook you. I think you did well. Overall, even though they tried to bend you into a society outsider, you still held your own and didn’t ever crumble. I thought that was great. I don’t think they should have put your parents on. I think they made your parents look like idiots. I think they did that on purpose and they succeeded in it, too.”
“I can tell you this,” Lane answered. “My lawyer is great; my publicist is amazing and I’m so thankful for both of them. My parents did one interview then ABC tried to come back and tried to get my parents for a second interview. We held our guns and we knew what was up.”
Wankus said he loved Lane’s parents and wasn’t putting them down.
“We played smart about it and didn’t do the second interview,” Lane continued. “I was advised by the right people and I had the right people in their corner. They did the one interview and that was enough. But how they edit things is how things came out.”
“They wanted to make them look so extremely… insane– that’s why parents would support a girl in the business,” Wankus thought. “I know your parents to a certain degree and I know where they’re coming from and I know how fucking cool they are. I know how morally together they are. They [ABC] made them look like they’re just nuts. The crazy little parents propping up their daughter, and, ‘oh, we don’t care- she could have been gay.’It made them goofy and stupid. Your parents have fun, goofy personalities, they actually have it together. They’re really pretty solid. They’re not just a bunch of weirdos who get off watching their daughter on film. They wanted the public to feel that way. That’s the way I perceived it a little bit. Thank God I know your parents cause otherwise that’s the whole way I would have taken it.”
“And they put Sophia Lynn in there to discredit,” Wankus also thought. “Here’s a girl- she was lost before she got into porn.
Lane is of the opinion that you better be both mentally and physically ready for porn.
“It’s all a mental game; any kind of sex you do is mental,” she went on.
“Then it’s a business and you have to be mentally ready and capable to do it. Because you’ll be eaten up, chewed up and spit out in an instant. And it’s easy to be caught up in the scene. You have to be really headstrong and know what you want to do and know what you don’t want to do. Just like I said on that program.”
Wankus thought that Lane did her interview with the mindset that she was going to show people the positive, wonderful, great things of somebody who has their goals.
“You accomplished what you were supposed to do,” he told her. “Sophia Lynn is one of those types that agreed to do that interview knowing that her life is a train wreck- it’s almost like the girl who takes her boyfriend on Springer to tell him that she cheated on him. She’s like that kind of person. She wants society to see how her life sucks.”
“She wants people to feel sorry for her,” Lane chimed in.
“What they don’t realize is that people are going to make fun of her,” Wankus continued. “And then they’re going to judge the whole industry based on her, too. Those people watching you, I’m going to think must be saying she’s one of a kind. And look, her parents are crazy. Obviously she’s on her own little island and thinks porn’s great. And this other girl shows you what porn’s really like.
“That’s what most mainstream Americans are probably going to get out of that because of the way ABC edited it and put it together. That’s the sad part about it. The good part about it is that you rocked. There’s nobody that could say anything negative about what you did. And you know they edited the best they could to make you go down. And you didn’t. That’s the worst footage they had on you? That’s pretty good. That’s pretty impressive.”
Lane said she’s been in entertainment all her life.
“I like doing interviews- I like being out there in the public eye,” she added.
Wankus commented on some of the footage ABC used of Lane ice skating. Lane explained she was a T-personality.
“T-personality is a thrill seeker,” she explained. “I was a thrill seeker, an ice skater. I played every sport that was known to man. That’s the kind of adrenalin I live on. I like what I do now in this industry by shooting movies. It’s thrilling. It is. I’m a T-personality plus an A-personality.”
Wankus just thought it was a shame ABC had to hold an example like Sophia Lynn up to the light.
“It was pretty funny, though, when they go to the show in Vegas and they’re talking to Adam $ Eve security. Where’s Sophia Lynn? She didn’t show up. That’s perfect because that’s a lot of girls in porn. She didn’t show up. Where is she? I have no idea where she is.”
“That’s a bummer for Adam % Eve,” conceded Lane. “I love that company.”
