An Edinburgh pub has started a new weekly entertainment night<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Instead of tanked-up businessmen and hen nights murdering cheesy hits, pornaoke participants are being asked to provide the soundtrack for silent porn films – supplying grunts, screams and groans.<\/p>\n

Anyone feeling they can outdo Meg Ryan’s performance in When Harry Met Sally may be up for a prize in the best solo performance category. Those not wishing to alarm their partner(s) can enter the group sex category.<\/p>\n

The promoters of the club said the night was more akin to a 70s quizshow than a cinema screening hardcore skin flicks, though admittedly one with fewer clothes.<\/p>\n

“Pornaoke is set up like a comedy night,” said Mark Taylor of Capture Entertainment. “We have the wah-wah guitarist providing the soundtrack, the comperes are comedians, there is a hostess and a host who collect people’s entries and help explain the night.”<\/p>\n

Now, that said, it sounds like it would be a hoot, especially with enough drinks in one. Though it would take many, many, many to be enough.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, of course, certain folks are Not Amused.<\/p>\n

Catherine Harper of the campaign group Scottish Women Against Pornography, said: “I am so tired of hearing that clubs like this are just a bit of fun. It is sexist and tawdry beyond belief.<\/p>\n

“What you are talking about is yet another place where men and women are subjected to the influences that make them devalue each other’s sexuality.”<\/p>\n

Almost enough to make me want to go there, just in spite.<\/p>\n
