"John Play the Riff -- PLAY THE F**K RIFF!"

First he got a hood pass (or, as he calls it, a "n****r pass"); now he may get a smut pass.

Vivid Entertainment has offered John Mayer a chance to write and direct one of their movies.
In the now infamous piece, Mayer said his "dream" is to write pornography. And now, X-rated company Vivid Entertainment has offered him a gig doing just that.

According to TMZ.com, Vivid sent the bluesy guitarist a letter asking him if he wants to write and direct one of its upcoming nudie flicks.

Vivid believes Mayer has the right credentials because, in their words, his talents have "touched so many."

Mayer's publicist has quickly stated that the musician will be declining the offer. But at this point, I'm not so sure that's a wise move. Every day the Adult Entertainment industry becomes a little more legitimized, which would suggest that the project might not tarnish an established celebrity's public image as much as it may have in years past. And, given the last couple of weeks, can things honestly get any worse for Mayer's public image?

Personally, I've been having fun with the thought of Mayer signing onto this project. What would the title be? "Your Booty is a Wonderland"? "StepDaughters"? Or maybe just "Sexual Napalm"? Would Dave Chappelle make a cameo, and start a scene by paying homage to the one in their famous skit from "Chappelle's Show"? The potential for this one is through the roof.

Please rethink this, John. I think the world needs this in our lives right now.
