Fleshbot To Vivid: Leave Nadya “Octomom” Suleman Alone!

After Nadya “Octomom” Suleman turned down Vivid’s million dollar offer, we thought that the sad little PR stunt had finally run its course. But oh, how wrong we were. In our mailbox this morning:

LOS ANGELES – (March 2, 2009) – Vivid Entertainment co-chairman Steven Hirsch, the head of the world’s leading adult studio, thinks that Nadya Suleman should reconsider her reported turndown of his offer to make a steamy movie for $1 million, saying it will save taxpayers money.

An online report quotes Ms. Suleman as rejecting Vivid’s offer to her to make a film saying, “Those guys at Vivid Video must be nuts! Who wants to see me naked? Maybe in a year when the baby fat goes away,” she reportedly told RadarOnline.

“If Nadya really rejects this offer it’s a shame because by accepting it she could have saved the taxpayers a cool million bucks,” Hirsch added. “We hope she will reconsider because this would be a great way for her to take financial responsibility for her own actions.”

Hirsch says her weight concerns are unfounded, noting that the studio would give her a personal trainer to get her into shape and she would have access to top makeup artists and hair stylists so that she would be at her all time sexiest. He added, “Before she gives us a ‘no’ she should know that we’ve already been contacted by some of the top male actors in the industry, who want to be in the movie with her. Maybe if we showed her photos of these guys, she might change her mind.”

The online report quotes Ms. Suleman as saying, “Despite what people think of my methods to get pregnant, I believe in love and romance. Not cheap thrills that belittle women.”

“We believe in love and romance too,” replies Hirsch. “We’re the top adult movie company for couples who want to add a little stimulus to their sex lives. Far from being belittled, our actresses say they feel empowered by their work in our movies and the control this gives them in their personal lives. This is something that could benefit Nadya as well.”

Seriously, Vivid? Seriously?

You know, it’s all well and good to latch on to some trainwreck of the moment in an attempt to get some cheap PR, but this is really just taking it all a little too far. Give it up, Vivid: you’re just making yourselves look bad.

    They were making themselves look bad when they made the first offer. Now they just look horribly desperate and silly.

    Okay, the first offer was inappropriate but attacking her when she turned it down is just bad. Bad. Leave her alone.

    “You could be saving the tax payers a million dollars. Take fiscal responsibility for your actions. Take off your top.”

    No. Not cool.

    I don’t see the issue here. Sounds to me like Vivid is clarifying their stance on the issue after Suleman’s public statements about “belittling women” and the like. They have a right to stick up for themselves.

    Not to mention the fact that they’re right about the tax money. Just because some breeder wants to pop out kids at a record pace doesn’t mean I should have to foot the bill. While she should obviously not be coerced into pornography, a responsible person would have a plan for providing for her kids.

    First, $1 million is barely going to cover the cost of just getting the 8 babies out of the hospital in the first place, as the medical costs for each baby is over $100K each.

    Second, let’s say Nadya signs up and does the film. Does this torpedo her prospects for future employability? Perhaps. She can’t hide her identity to future employers. There’s no continuing income (kids are expensive, and with 14 of them it could easily be over $200-300K per year).

    Third, would Nadya’s notoriety actually translate into adult video sales to justify the $1 million? I would imagine a DVD starring Ashley Dupre grossing millions, but the Octo-mom? Perhaps not. Would anyone pay $39.99 for Octo-mom porn?

    Personally, I am hoping that the hospital does not release the 8 babies into her care. If the government is going to pay for them, they might as well keep them out of her hands, and raise the Octo-babies in a super-secret facility and train them into an elite corps of future Octo-spies. Now, THAT would be a use of tax dollars!

    Oh please, you’re a website that reports on smut.
    Get off your high horse.

    I see it as Vivid is taking advantage of a person who is not of sound mind. If people think that her dvd wouldn’t sell then they need to check out some the Japanese porn that’s out there. There is a market for her but, she is mentally unstable and going down that road will just make her worse and those kids will bear the brunt of her actions.

    All this is doing is making Vivid look more psychotic than Octomom.

    But what I really want to know is what happened to Pink Visual’s diaper deal. Was that just an empty, “me too” stunt?

    vivid is offering a milion dollars and medical/dental insurance. she’s got 14 kids (for now), no job, and barely has a home. suleman should seriously think about it before turning down this kind of offer.

    I think Vivid’s offer is a great idea. Why should taxpayers bear the brunt this woman’s lack of social responsibility when she could earn an honest paycheck for something she’s probably already good at anyway? All her Christian conservative pro-life peeps will be the ones buying it anyway according to ABC News: http://tinyurl.com/agchnk
