the ABC network (Nightline specifically) seems to be straddling the fence on their stance about the Los Angeles porn industry - but James Deen definitely was depicted as predatorial to teen girls...

James Dean the original. The
"Rebel Without a Cause" died at
age 24. Will pornstar James Deen
follow in his footsteps?

Monica Foster commentary: The ABC network and Nightline specifically seems to be straddling the fence on their stance about the Los Angeles porn industry. A few months ago ABC's "The View" had Sasha Grey as a guest and as of late Melissa Rivers was a guest discussing "porn king" Steve Hirsch. Last night ABC's Nightline did a feature on James Deen. Unfortunately I feel that this video piece will serve as more of a recruitment mechanism rather than a deterrent from the Los Angeles porn industry. From my perspective, James Deen should be ashamed of himself for purposely luring young women into the dangerous lifestyle of which most likely he is trapped within...In fact he seems rather predatory in regards to the American teen populace of which he comments on.

It would be ironic if his future were to mirror that of the 1950's actor of which his stage name is derived from (James Dean) - Rebels without a cause rarely have much longevity (James Dean died at age 24).
