Talk to Freak? You have got to be kidding me. After working the morning show for a short time a few years back, I have to say that Freak is no less an authority on mgmt than a squirrel. The guy has blown for years and thank god I left him and the old WILL Rock for greener pastures. Here some advice Dan or Don. Screw everybody and do what is right for you. I was in the military and luckily had all my bills paid for college. I don't agree with gay people but that is a whole other story. Do what you need to do and don't look back. Take it from a guy who has been around and is now come full circle at a better station in Chicago than before.
: Dan,
: Get your head out of your a**!You don't need to do gay porn to make more money. Talk to your PD and ask him if money can come out of another budget. You're juggling a lot and your PD needs to make you well compensated. talk to Freak and see if he could get a word in with the PD.
: : Do it but don't tell NextMedia. They don't need to know what you are doing on your spare tyme. Do what you feel is right for YOU. Make sure that any guy who has sex with you wears a condom.

: : : I am on the promotions side of a nextmedia station in the south suburbs. Originally when I went to school, I wanted to do on-air. I started out at Columbia and found that the bill was way too steep. So, I transferred to Illinois Center and obtained my certificate. I really hate promotions and running the promotions side of things has been very difficult. Lack of pay, long hours, hard weekends and a staff that makes welcome back kotter look well, somewhat normal. Anyway, a close friend of mine has a connection in a whole other industry. Adult films. I met the friend and immedately he praised my "unique look" and that my reddish hair and moma's boy look would really work. I am really torn between these industries. The money for the film is quite attractive. It would be $15,000 upfront plus ability to travel and promote the film I am in. Last year the lovely next media paid me $17,500 for the whole year as promotions coord. At first I agreed to be in the film as long as my image was not portrayed. The idea I had was to put a sack over me and cover my face while the deed was done. Because of the nature of the film, I was told that the reason I was being hired was due to my reddish mane(in their words.) I need to make a decision by the end of May due to the scheduling of filming. I would prob due it for the $15,000 and leave it at that, but I am concerned for my long-term image. Would this adult film cause my bosses to let me go? The way it was described to me, only a real close friend or family member would know it was me up on the screen. I am not gay but this is where the money is at in the adult screen world. I remember a few years back a CLTV Weatherman left tv for gay porn.WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?
