TORONTO — Celebrated journalist and author Meredith L. Crowley is enjoying another stunning achievement as the subject of a pornographic parody film based on her life and work. The erotic film, “Snatch Of The Day,” is based on Crowley’s 2015 book “Catch Of The Day,” which exposed poor working conditions in fisheries across Southeast Asia.
Crowley has openly expressed her appreciation for the film.
“After all these years of working late hours, sacrificing, risking my life, it’s incredible to finally have my achievements honoured in the form of a strange woman pretending to be me getting nailed by multiple guys on camera.”
The 46-year-old writer feels she has finally received her initiation into an elite group of distinguished and successful women in America.
“Hillary Clinton, Oprah, Ruth Bader Ginsburg — what do all these women have in common? They’ve all had porn parodies made about them,” she explained.
Crowley received a Pulitzer prize in 2014 and a Peabody award in 2015, but names ‘Snatch of the Day’ as the greatest distinction yet.
“All those other prizes were incredible achievements, but they still left me wondering, ‘when people see me in magazines, or on TV, do they ever imagine what it would be like to have sex with me?’ Now I know that they do. And it just feels great.”
