I was most surprised by the James Deen article; it was more interesting than I expected. Admittedly, I haven't paid much attention to porn-worker interviews; the few I've seen/read tended to be obviously 'in character'-- in the sense that they appeared coached about what to say and what attitude to present. It's generally pretty painful to watch, 'cause I wonder if they're hiding being unhappy or if they feel persecuted. Makes me worry for them, y'know?
