Waitwaitwait… They have a YouTube Channel where they COOK with Porn actirs? The headline read like they did porn themselves (which I wouldn’t have an issue with either). Are you kidding me?
It’s YT, and I‘m sure they wanna monetize it so it can’t be that graphic anyway, right?
No, they have actual pornographic videos of themselves having sex with others. From the NYT: In an interview on Thursday, Mr. Gow and Ms. Wilson said that they believe they were fired over the videos, which included sex scenes together and with others under the username Sexy Happy Couple.
And...
Mr. Gow, 63, said he and his wife, 56, have made videos together for years but had decided recently to make them publicly available on porn websites and had been pleased by the response. They said they never mentioned the university or their jobs in the videos, several of which have racked up hundreds of thousands of views. The couple also has made a series of videos in which they cook meals with porn actors and then have sex.
I just skimmed through one of their videos. Looks like it was made with a budget of 50c, and some sort of direction wouldn't hurt, but it seems perfectly innocent. Just an interview as they make some food (vegan, for what that's worth). Didn't even notice any swearing. Sure, they talk sex, but not in graphic detail or anything. Seems to just be the usual sex positive stuff you see out there. This shouldn't be a fireable offence anywhere.
Sounds just like they're too sex positive for the Regents.
But also wouldn't be surprised if they did porn too, not that it should get them fired
