Jimi Hendrix Sex Tape? Really?

That's right. Vivid Entertainment, who is apparently known for releasing "celebrity" sex tapes will be releasing a new movie this week that they say features Jimi Hendrix.

The NY Times has a story about the 45-minute video that only includes 11 minutes of the actual sex tape that includes two women. I know he's dead and all, but 11 minutes with two women? Come on, "Voodoo Chile" is longer than that. The rest of the video contains a retrospective of Hendrix's career, which is exactly what I think porn has always been missing.

Get rid of all of the cheesy dialog and make me feel like I'm watching the History Channel. With a boner.

All joking aside, is it ok to profit from or even view sex tapes of the deceased? I like to think I'm pretty progressive, but to me this just seems to be incredibly wrong. On the other hand though, since he is dead, he can't be embarrassed or suffer any negative publicity by it's release.

Leave your thoughts in the comments.
