McDonald’s Refuses to Serve Porn Star

Adult performer and The Canyons star James Deen has been working on a web food porn series with the digital adult studio WoodRocket since the beginning of the year. There’s nothing really pornographic about it — James Deen Loves Food, which usually runs between five and 10 minutes, features Deen procuring, making and eating his way around Los Angeles. The Observer even had a piece about it when it first aired online, a sort of whinge-fest about how confusing it is that a porn star is multi-faceted. How typical.

But let’s not digress. The reason I’m telling you about this is that a couple of days ago, Deen hit a McDonald’s drive-thru for the next segment of his show — he wanted to order everything and lay the food out — but he never even got as far as finalizing his order. WoodRocket has the full four and a half-minute clip showing Deen ordering basically one of everything on the menu — then, just as the $89 order is about to be processed, the manager shows up, takes down Deen’s license plate number and refuses to serve him, even as the porn star waves money in his general direction.

Who would have imagined the home of the Happy Meal would be so cranky?

Del Taco, Burger King and El Pollo Loco, it bears noting, have meanwhile been quite capable of accommodating this eccentric type of mega-order.

I have reached out to McDonald’s for comment. If I hear anything, I’ll let you know.
