Isabella Rossellini: Actress, Model, Creator of...Bug Porn?!

Isabella Rossellini, the daughter of famous actress Ingrid Bergman, has decided to create a series of shorts based on insect copulation. Rossellini is the male insect in these videos, and shows watchers how bugs get it on, whilst wearing crazy costumes. The fly costume is exceptionally disturbing due to the semi-realistic...vomit. The shorts are named Green Porno, which the actress admits is purely to generate viewings through search engine results of the keyword "porn" These videos are intended to target those who watch videos in iPods or other devices, and therefore are only a few minutes long. It shows the impact that online videos has created. I think it's a peculiar idea, but admittedly very original-whether or not that's a good thing I don't know. Also, I think the reason she decided to be the male insects was to make sure viewers thought she was in control of the situation, and it could be a feminist projection. Either way, I think this WILL get a lot of viewers, out of sheer curiosity. I think the Rossellini doesn't care what people will think of this, and I guess you have to hand it to her for being bold and maybe a little crazy.
