Check "Yes!" Next to Adult Film Star

Our general manager, Tim, is leaving Echo on Friday. He let us know a month ago. So, the search for the next Tim has been troubling.

The problem is, if you work for Echo you don't get paid. And most people who would be any good, won't work for the salary they offer. However, Buddy pointed out (correctly, I might add) that Echo has gotten lucky. Most of us are really good at what we do, but we work there because we believe in the cause and the mission of the magazine.

Tim announced today that he finally found his replacement. He has a lot of business experience. His name also happens to be Tim. And he just so happens to be a porn star.

In fact, he was just featured in X-Factor. Since I proof that magazine, I read the entire Q & A. I found out some interesting things between that and my brief meeting with him.

1) Even porn stars have to fill out an application
2) He won an award for best newcomer and as Jeff wrote, "It's always nice to have an award winner on staff."
3) He's not very versatile in the sack. It takes a special guy to get an "all access pass."
4) He feels naughty 24/7 and is always looking for someone to be naughty with.

I'm sure this will change the dynamics of the office. The problem is, his office doesn't have a door. So, if Buddy feels naughty and wants to do something about it, we'll all be forced to watch (or hear).

We've all decided we have to give him a chance. But still, it's hard to get around the fact that he gets paid to have sex. And that those acts can be seen by everyone with an Internet connection or DVD player. I hope it doesn't affect Echo's image--I'm sure when he goes to negotiate with businesses that's the first thing on their minds.

It's not, "Tim from Echo wants us to collaborate on something."
It's more like, "That bitch is a freak in the sack. I saw him do XXXX."

As Derek of the Derek and Romaine show once said (I'm paraphrasing), "It must be really weird being a porn star. Because people you've never met come up to you and already know what the inside of your asshole looks like."

Amen!
