'Stupidity Wins': Porn Contest Winner Immortalized in NYDN
The Daily News’s Julian Kesner today reveals the quasi-lucky pervert who won the Fleshbot contest offering a “non-sexual role” in Burning Angel‘s alt-porn masterwork Joanna Angel’s Fuckin’ Guide to Fucking. Manhattan banker Kimani Rogers was selected from over 200 entries, the knowledge of which I am sure will thrill his wife and his employer when his photo appears today in over 700,000 newspapers.
And around his office (and no doubt at home), you can bet that Rogers’ 15 minutes of fame will no doubt attract a 16th or even 17th with revelations like these:
Rogers says he had never visited Fleshbot (though he admits to visiting BurningAngel.com), but a friend sent him a link to the contest.
His somewhat bizarre winning entry: “In a previous life, I was Jesus Christ. But more importantly, I want to have Kylee Kross’s babies. I’d carry them in my belly.” (Kross is one of the adult stars in Angel’s current production.)
“I didn’t know what to write in that kind of situation,” confesses Rogers. “I didn’t want to write ‘I’ve always dreamed of being in a porn,’ because — well, I haven’t always dreamed of being in a porn.
“I just wrote something stupid, and apparently stupidity wins every now and then. This is actually my first time winning something — my luck is turning around!”
Kudos also to “New York’s Hometown Newspaper” for devoting 850 words to a piece about porn-film casting. I love Burning Angel as much as the next guy, but I really had a family story like this pegged for the Post. Shows you what I know.
