greeted them with a Bible
verse or a more direct mes-
sage.
"There is no party in hell,
guys," Berry said. "All pornog-
raphers, fire awaits you."
Berry, 49, and five other
protesters stood outside the
Miami Beach Convention Cen-
ter on the last day of Enrico -
firm, a three-day show and sale
of all things sex -related.
The protesters wore sand-
wich boards printed with
"God hates sin" and "Repent
or perish," and they waved
signs as event attendees
walked past
NO B1G DEAL
inside, Exxxotica organizer
Ben La Joie said the protest
did not stop people from pay-
ing the $25 arimi.cion fee and
enjoying the show.
"Everyone sort of laughed
with it," said La Joie, 27.
"We're not making a big deal
about it"
Hector Bernardino, 36, who
was at the convention center
for International Beau-
ty & Barber Show (not the
porn convention, he noted),
had a brief clash with Berry on
the way to his car.

there," Bernardino said after-
ward. "As long as the protest
doesn't get violent, they can
say all they want"
The demonstration did not
turn violent, but at one point
in the afternoon, police offi-
cers asked the protesters to
leave for a few hours and
come back as the expo was
closing. They did.
About 15,000 people bought
tickets to the Exxxotica expo,
which La Joie described as a
"celebration of sexy."
Fans lined up to take photo-
graphs with adult -film stars.
They browsed through collec-
tions of DVDs and sex toys
being sold at booths.
Others watched actors on a
stage re-create scenes from a
1970s sex movie.
Some guys persuaded their
girlfriends to brave a 35-sec-
ond ride on a mrrhaniral bull.
"I think the only people
who haven't had a good time
are the ones outside," La Joie
said of the protesters.
PROTESTING SIN
Berry, whose group demon-
strated against the PrideFest
parade in Key West on Satur-
day, said his goal at Exxxotica
very sersous.
