The moment I saw her I knew Mia Khalifa was the new porn star most likely to. Most likely to what? Well, that I wasn’t sure of. Great smile, wicked sense of humor, huge boobs, passionate sports fandom (Florida State), interesting back story — something was going to happen with this chick, whether it was just your basic story of phenomenal porn success or something more transcendent.
It was something more transcendent, and no, it wasn’t the FSU Seminoles thing, although that got her into the mainstream via sports blogs like Busted Coverage.
Mia has transcended by rising to the most-searched spot on PornHub, “dethroning” Lisa Ann, who was apparently the number-one girl there for a long time. My reaction: Really? Lisa Ann was the queen of PornHub? She wouldn’t make my top 50, but whatever. I guess her Sarah Palin impersonation is still paying dividends.
Back to Mia Khalifa—regardless of whom she dethroned, she is hot, and she is also Lebanese. She is born-in-Lebanon Lebanese. She has a tattoo of the opening line of the Lebanese national anthem on her arm. Her mildly-newsworthy story of getting the most hits on PornHub was quickly overshadowed by the juicier, scarier, sadder story of condemnations and death threats from her friendly and pious fellow Lebanese. The nice ones are tweeting her saying she should be ashamed, she’ll burn in hell, etc. The less nice ones talk about cutting her head off, stoning her to death, etc.
This is the story that’s gotten her onto the Newsweek, Mirror, and NBC News websites. And news reports like this, not that I understand a word of it:
[UPDATE: There was a video here but it’s been taken off of YouTube. It was a news report about Mia in Arabic.]
Newsweek has the best piece, and right at the end you’ll find the nugget I happen to think is the real story: “Most of the hatred Khalifa gets on social media comes from Lebanese men who have seen her movies, she says.”
Same old hypocrisy, same old self-righteousness, same old self-loathing. Forbid someone from consuming porn and they will find a way to get it; then, in a state of moral confusion, they’ll lash out at the porn they willingly consumed. The fact that Mia is from Lebanon just makes the self-loathing more intense in the Arab world. They heard about the Arab porn star, they sought out her videos on PornHub, they nudged her past Lisa Ann (on the wane after announcing her retirement two weeks ago)—and then, realizing they’d made her famous, came after the monster they’d created like angry villagers with pitchforks and torches.
This is speculation based on what I know about human nature and suppression; I can’t prove that it’s the same people who voted her up that now want to take her down. But someone can—Pornhub. I would love to see the traffic logs that indicate where those hits came from. Mia’s a sexy girl, for sure, but I’m not sure her 8 videos could overtake Lisa Ann’s 385 without a serious feeding-frenzy from Lebanon and other Arab countries.
The title of this post comes from some research I did on how to insult people in Arabic. Apparently you want to insult their lineage or compare them to animals, and the worst thing you can call them is a shoe. I did all three, it’s what those sons of donkey shoes deserve.
And now, some boobs, from one of Mia’s Bangbros scenes. Visit Bangbros today for more of this brazen Lebanese harlot, may she burn in hell.
