Perversion For Profit, A 1965 Anti-Porn Propaganda Film

by Scott Beale on June 28, 2008

“Perversion For Profit” is a highly amusing 1965 anti-porn propaganda film financed by Charles Keating and narrated by George Putnam, which associates pornography with Communism and the overall decline of Western civilization.

The film is also available on the Internet Archive as part of the Prelinger Archives.

UPDATE 1: Here’s a great remix of Perversion For Profit by Loading.Ready.Run.

UPDATE 2: George Putnam shares his true feelings on porn in “Perversion for Profit”.

Thanks for brining porn to everyone who didn't know about it. I wouldn't be surprised if this spurred sales of porn.

It's amusing but, at the same time, disgusting. Sigh. Honestly, we haven't moved forward that far either. ie Fox News.

Scott Beale June 28, 2008 at 3:34 pm: Thanks for letting us know about that one, I've updated the post.
Scott Beale June 28, 2008 at 3:36 pm: So you are saying that there are people on the internet who do not know about porn? I hope you were not one of them and my blog post corrupted you. Of course you didn't have to hit play on the video, but you did, didn't you. Just couldn't resist, eh?
John Hell June 28, 2008 at 10:39 pm: I knew those Communists loved porn. Wait, I'm communist! And, I like porn. Damn. They got me.
Malex June 28, 2008 at 10:42 pm: There's another remix of George Putnam where he puts a far more positive spin on our moral decay, entitled “Come Join the Fun.”
