CYBERSPACE—Adult e-tailer GameLink.com is offering presidential candidate Ted Cruz a $100,000 budget to produce a commercial series featuring legitimate porn stars who support his campaign. The offer was sparked when the Cruz campaign suspended one of its own ads after it was revealed that actress Amy Lindsay, an avid Cruz supporter, has appeared nude in many softcore films.
A frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, Ted Cruz has continually sought the support of religious conservatives. When presented with the information about Lindsay’s filmography, which ranged from softcore movies like Confession of a Call Girl to a role on Star Trek: Voyager, a spokesperson for the Cruz Campaign said they were “unaware of the actor’s past work in porn and took action when [they] learned of her full film history” (see NYPost.com story).
“First off, on behalf of many in the adult industry, I’m offended Ted Cruz is throwing around the word ‘porn’ like it’s dirty and something to be ashamed of,” said Jeff Dillon, president of business development for eLine, parent company of GameLink.com. “The porn industry is composed of many hardworking Americans, and Cruz would be lucky to have their vote.”
“Secondly,” added Dillon, “Amy Lindsay, though a fine actress, is not even a porn star, as she has never appeared in a pornographic film. If she was, her movies would be available to watch on GameLInk.com. Instead, if you search her name on our site, you’ll find exactly three titles, which are all produced by MrSkin.com and feature the best nude scenes of celebrity actresses in Hollywood films.”

“By essentially firing one of his own supporters from a commercial, Ted Cruz proved he needs all the help he can get in running his campaign, which is why GameLink.com is offering to produce a $100,000 series of commercials, which feature actual porn stars,” stated Dillon. “There are plenty of people in the adult industry who embrace the conservative value system, and while GameLink.com itself is political neutral, we would be happy to help Cruz broaden his voter base and make his campaign more inclusive.”
The offer for GameLInk’s Ted Cruz commercial series is contingent on the Cruz campaign’s acceptance. The Cruz campaign has not yet authorized the use of porn stars in its promotion or agreed to work with GameLink.com.
