Breaking: Kurt Wild Screwed By Subway

Gay porn bogs are abuzz today with news that that Fleshbot crush object Kurt Wild has been fired from his day job as a Subway sandwich artist for being a porn star–which is appalling and boycott-worthy and one more reason to avoid the ubiquitous, prefab fast food joint and its creepy spokesmodel Jared. The news comes via an email from Kurt himself which was circulated by Wild’s former agent at FabScout Media. We feel bad about Kurt’s employment issues, and wish him all the best. (And we feel even more worse about all those giggles and eye-rolling he had to endure from some of his more porn-savvy customers while they were ordering their footlongs–to say nothing of all those “meat handling” jokes. Sigh.) See Kurt’s letter explaining the whole sorry situation after the jump.

. . .

Hey everyone.
I just wanted to tell everyone that I was just fired from my work at subway because I have done gay porn. A customer said they wouldn’t even eat there at subway anymore because of my past work and said that if I wasn’t fired then they would boycott the store. What I say is, if one person can try to ruin me everywhere I work… maybe I should take a stand and boycott their store too if they can’t let people’s privacy be treated right. I should have the right to work anywhere I can and it isn’t right or fair that people can keep me from working simply because of a “gay” issue. If a girl did what we do it would probably be ok.. and if a guy does straight porn.. he is bragged about. When I do gay porn, I feel a bit lynched for the rest of my life. Not right. Thanks for reading.

    Oh, God . . . this is ridiculous. It’s a SANDWICH. Anyone can make one, and unless he’s multi-tasking and gay-pornin’ at the same time, keep your mouth shut, get your sandwich, and run.

    Actually, I’m more curious as to how the complaining customer even knew he was in gay porn. Doesn’t watching gay porn take away your so-called moral superiority?

    So, um, he’s gonna sue the life out of Subway right? I mean, that is completely grounds for discriminatory harassment and hostile work environment.

    I know he has three kids to support, and his firing is all kinds of wrong, but hold on a minute. Wild is one of the most prolific performers on the web and DVD’s. Hell, two or three good web gigs probably pay him what he can earn in a year at this minimum-wage job. So what’s he wasting his time for? Get out there and sell the goods while you’re hot!

    @narymary: I don’t think the $$$ is that good. It goes in increments of about $500 starting at $1000 so it’s like $1000 for first base, $1500 for second etc. Oh, you make a little more when you bottom.

    As Chris Rock says, the money is in the come back. If you get a reoccurring gig, then you can make some $$$ but it’s not serious; I would guess a Sean Cody guy like Harley pulled in $25,000 for his series of movies. Certainly not bad money for a few weeks work.

    Problem is, the money stops kinda quickly. But if you have to have a part time job….DAMN you can’t beat it!

    Personally, I think everyone’s right here: yes, Kurt could make better money in porn than by working the Subway counter (not that there’s anything wrong with working in fast food–many of us have been there). On the other hand, porn isn’t really steady work, and he’d have to do a lot of it to keep up. Add to the fact that he lives in St. Louis–not home to a high concentration of porn companies–and the situation gets even more precarious.

    Not that he asked, but I’d suggest (a) making a GIGANTIC stink about the firing in the press, which might at least earn him some hush-money, and (b) looking for employment in something less customer-servicey.

    Still not explained: how the asshole customer in question knew Kurt did gay porn and, subsequently, how the customer could make a fuss without without being labeled a rabid gay porn consumer.

    I do admire his work ethic, and I always think it’s better for guys not to rely on porn for their income, because as Richard says it’s precarious. I wouldn’t have suggested he just do more porn, except for the fact that he really is one of the more popular models around today, and he has a very short window to capitalize on that IMO. After that, perhaps he could go back to school and prepare for a real career.

    Or–OR, he could go to work for the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency.

    Wasn’t guy on the cover of MEN magazine too? He’s really very popular, not my type…but very popular.
