James Gunn's PG Porn
Encyclopedia
James Gunn's PG Porn is a web series
created by brothers James Gunn, Brian Gunn
, and Sean Gunn
. It consists of a series of pornography spoofs, with a humorous event occurring just before the supposed commencement of pornographic sexual acts. Each episode pairs a mainstream actor with a pornographic actress or model. The tagline is, "For people who love everything about Porn...except the sex."
The initial web episode premiered on Spike.com and received over a million hits in a week, and was featured on Entertainment Weekly
's The Must List. Spike subsequently picked up the series for an additional 11 episodes.
The project has, however, not been without controversy. An article on the Huffington Post condemned the first episode for glorifying violence against women.
According to Gunn, they developed the idea in the early 2000s, before short-term Internet
-based sketch comedies became popular. Stephen Blackehart
of The Good Boys Productions produced the show with Jake Zim
and Peter Safran
of Safran Digital Group (SDG) for Spike.com.
