Times are tough, and businesses are forced to take extreme measures to stay afloat. This desperation can cause a lot of things, like the vetting process, to fall by the wayside, which is precisely where the Epping Ongar Railway faltered when they allowed Brazzers to shoot a porn at their heritage railway station.
According to the BBC (link below), the station was only used for the very beginning of the "28-minute film," but that was plenty enough screen time to get many a feather ruffled.
Dean Walton, business development manager at the heritage railway in Essex, apologised to customers for what he called "an error of judgement".
Mr Walton said the railway, which describes itself as "family friendly", had been made available for commercial hire "on a number of occasions" to generate money to run the trains.
He said: "Earlier this year we took a decision to allow an adult film, subject to certain conditions, to be filmed on the railway. We are sorry that our decision may have caused offence. It is clear that this decision was an error of judgement."
Mr Walton said the railway had no "editorial control" over the content of the movie and that filming took place when the attraction was closed to the public.
I've got news, nobody has editorial control over a Brazzers production. They look like they're shot and released within the same hour. Thankfully the authors of this article didn't interview any angry parents, which proves once more that the BBC is better than American news in virtually every respect. They didn't try to gin up any further controversy, and good on them. Pip pip, bob's your uncle, and all that. Bully!
