It’s not all smut, y’know.
In unlikely news, it would seem actor, comedian and Silicon Valley star Kumail Nanjiani accidentally befriended the team over at PornHub after he made an odd discovery on Christmas Eve.
Nanjiani, who has enjoyed a successful year with his latest film The Big Sick, posted on Twitter that he had found said movie streaming on everyone’s favorite website, PornHub.
“For those of you who wanna watch #TheBigSick with your families & don’t have Amazon Prime or can’t afford to purchase it: The whole movie is available on pornhub”, Nanjiani wrote.
“Don’t ask me how I know”, he added. “It’s under interracial.”

And while it would be interesting to ask why Nanjiani ended up on this specific part of the site (not searching for a parody of his own movie, that’s for sure), the reality turned out to be just as good. Responding on Christmas Day, the adult site’s media representative ‘Aria’ got back onto the actor, to say, “Kumail, we are trying to find it to remove with no luck.”
“The whole Pornhub team is frantically looking through ‘big sick’ videos on Christmas day.”

Sure, trawling through videos to find an illegally streaming film might not seem like a heroic job, until you keep in mind the somewhat inconvenient title the team had on their hands.
Context is everything.
On PornHub, the words ‘The Big Sick’ have a great deal of potential.
Fortunately, it was Christmas Day and the Kumail responded by saying, “I didn’t mean it should be removed!”
“Enjoy your Christmas! You’ve brought joy to so many people!”

So there you have it. Porn users got to enjoy one of the year’s best film’s and the PornHub team weren’t forced to spend too long searching for ‘big sick’ videos.
Another Christmas miracle.
