Less Than Zito: Corporate Cash Scrubs A Gay Porn Past

You don’t get to fuck someone and take it back, even if you are a straight “celebrity.”

That’s just life.

A few weeks ago, it was reported that the current season of MTV’s The Real World was going to feature Dustin Zito, who was once a gay for pay actor (dubbed Spencer) on Fratpad. During the premiere of the show Zito confessed to having taken an opportunity after high school to be cast on a website of guys living together.

The show did not mention that these guys were also fucking each other.

Now, FratPad management has taken down content featuring anal sex scenes of Zito and has begun sending notifications to bloggers who have featured images, or linked to images of these acts, to do the same. I have never heard of a porn company giving up the opportunity to profit off of an individual’s celebrity status, which begs the questions: how much is Fratpad getting paid, and how homophobic is MTV being? I guarantee that if a female cast member had done the same thing, it would not be received with a cover-up. It would be happily exploited.

I understand the issue of content copyrighting, but welcome to the blogosphere, where images float through like water in the sea.

MTV, don’t make me start pulling out my Ray Bradbury and George Orwell references. Just because your demographic has probably never cracked open a book doesn’t mean we haven’t. This goes beyond a little anal action; the press is democratized and will not be silenced. To those who may ask to censor such material I say “Suck it!” And if you don’t know how to suck it, just ask Justin Zito; I’m sure he can show you how.
