HONG KONG -- Help Wanted: No experience necessary. But nudity and passion required.

Officials of a Hong Kong job fair gave a porno filmmaker the boot. Producer Tommy Wong says he can't understand why the organizers were so embarrassed. He says he was up-front about the jobs he was offering.

Wong adds there's nothing illegal about the films he makes. Wong says he wants to help the Hong Kong economy, which is suffering from high unemployment.

Wong notes Hong Kong is losing out to the porno-makers in Japan and South Korea. But organizers of the job fair say young people should look for jobs of a better ethical standard.
