Bang Bus is a well known reality porn site on the Internet. It is part of the Bang Bros network and run by Kristopher Hinson and Penn Davis's company Ox Ideas.The two are friends and attend Florida International University. Greg Entner (known as "Sanchez" or "Dirty Sanchez") works for the company as a scene director and camera operator and has appeared in every Bang Bus episode. The videos, mostly 45-90 minutes long, are shot by Entner in Gonzo style and are also known for their humorous approach. Even though the scenes seem to be real, all of it is staged. An example of this would be when the same "actress" is used in other BangBros movies and some actresses can be seen on some mainstream porn movies.

The site consists of women being "picked up on the street," then being persuaded to engage in sexual intercourse with men in the back of a van - the titular Bang Bus. Each movie usually ends with the woman being dropped off unpaid and in the wrong location, shouting at the men as they drive off laughing. The series is shot primarily in Miami, Florida, and has spawned a number of sister and imitation porn websites such as Back Seat Bangers.

The Bang Bus usually contains three men: the driver (known as Ugly in early episodes), the camera man (Greg Entner aka "Dirty Sanchez"), and a random man who gets to engage in sexual intercourse with a random woman picked off the street. Sometimes the driver and camera man will randomly pick up a man first then pick up a woman and persuade the two to have sex. In most cases, the woman is convinced to get into the van under the guise that they are making a documentary about people in the area that she is situated. They offer money, usually around a couple hundred dollars, just to answer questions about their life. After some "interviewing", they usually offer more money just to strip. They then offer additional money to have sex. The woman usually is persuaded to enter the van in less than 5 minutes, then persuaded to strip in 20-50 minutes, and is dropped off in a random location after 1-3 hours.Usually, the woman is dropped off without the promised money. Throughout a number of the videos, Entner's sophomoric commentary is constantly heard, packed with crude sexist comments and highly offensive racial slurs as "terms of endearment".

Although the theme of the site is the ease with which supposedly unknown women can be persuaded to engage in hardcore sexual acts, the videos are in fact staged and all the women shown are actresses paid in advance;[1][2] some went on to work in other pornographic productions or even became regular performers (e.g. Annie Cruz appeared as "Kyra" in 2004). Despite this, Bang Bus is regarded as a highly controversial website, in part due to its popularity and the extreme degree to which it exemplifies the misogynist themes arguably common to hardcore pornography. For these reasons, it has appeared in multiple news stories, particularly in the Miami area, where the site has earned a certain degree of infamy.

Although the company advertises that the Bangbus and affiliate sites update on a weekly basis, some affiliate sites have ceased updates and in some cases disappeared from the web forever. Bangbus has been known to go on unannounced hiatus, because the site depends on the exclusive direction and camerawork of Entner. There has been an eight month absence in 2003, as the crew produced content in Eastern Europe and most recently a month and a half hiatus in the summer of 2006. The site's lack of updates prompted speculation over a possible demise until the site began updating in July.

The videos are shot, produced and distributed by a Miami company called Ox Ideas, whose offices are located on upscale Brickell Avenue at the mouth of the Miami River, and whose warehouse is located on Northwest 24th Street.

News investigations

On October 14 2004, Miami New Times published an investigation of the porn site based primarily on interviews with a woman who performed for the site to pay for an abortion. She claimed that her ex-boyfriend, father of the child, kept all of the payment. Coincidentally, the storylines of Bang Bus videos commonly end with the female performer never being paid promised money. [1]

On November 18 2004, the South Florida news station and website WPLG ran a video segment and article stating that the scenes in Bang Bus videos are staged [2]. They also ran a follow-up in which they asked police whether the activities depicted on the Bang Bus site are legal. The police responded that they were, because the van's windows are tinted to avoid violation of indecent exposure laws. [3]

Awards

Bang Bus was awarded "Best Amateur Release" and "Best Amateur Series" at the 2006 Adult Video News Awards.[4]

Other websites

The company behind Bang Bus (the Bang Bros Network) also maintains a number of other speciality pornographic websites, which include BoobSquad, Ass Parade, Big Tits Round Asses, Real Butts, Spring Break Spy Cam, Mr. Cameltoe, Monsters of Cock, Mom's Anal Adventure, MILF Lessons, Big Mouthfuls, Bang Bros Worldwide, Ball Honeys, Tranny Trick, Tug Jobs, Public Invasion, Farthammer, and Bait Bus. Unlike the Bang Bus website, most of these reality porn sites do not purport to lure in unwitting females who are in truth preselected pornographic actresses, with an exception being Spring Break Spy Cam and Bait Bus (though the latter "lures" in male performers). They have met with similar success to that of the original Bang Bus website, although none has proven as overwhelmingly popular.
