      I've never been to an adult movie theater, but remember when there were many in Hollywood. Back in the 1980s I was called for jury duty at the Hollywood Municipal Courthouse. I ended up as a juror on a case involving a man caught "pleasuring himself" while watching the film. Apparently the police routinely walked through the theaters to catch guys.
      It was all pretty sleazy, and I can understand why an employer wouldn't want to be connected with it.

They weren't in a mall where John Q. Public and his frigid wife Dottie could look at them. They were in the dark, during a "routine" _shakedown_ (which meant that some sleeze-ball saw them there and called the National Enquirer at the same time they called the cops. Either that, or those rags called the cops for the bigger story about them getting arrested and booked) The irony is, that poor Billy Bush was only guilty by association. He didn't _do_ anything except listen and laugh nervously at some high-stakes asshole was basically flaunting every schoolboy's dream
