Hong Kong porn film company's ad for actors withdrawn from youth job fair

HONG KONG (AFP) - An adult movie-making company's advertisement for new pornography stars at a youth job fair in Hong Kong was removed quickly after organisers deemed it unsuitable.
The Sun Power Production Company ad had asked for actors aged 18 to 38 to apply for roles in adult movies. Although no experience was required, the actors should be ready to "strip naked", the South China Morning Post reported.
The ad, which was deemend unsuitable, was removed 90 minutes after the fair opened.
Sun Power manager Tommy Wong said the action was unfair and biased.
"None of our ads are deceptive. I even mentioned that the actors have to be in the nude," he told the paper.
The government's Employment Development Service marketing director Winnie Chan told the paper that the ad was unethical given the target age group of the fair.
"We respect every kind of occupation. However, we think it is inappropriate to have such jobs available at this fair."
Wong hoped to recruit local actors to develop the pornographic movie industry in Hong Kong as there were many talented producers with scripts ready for production, the Oriental Daily reported.
Sun Power said it would seek compensation from the organisers of the event.
