“Porn Ralf” and his wife, “Hard Cora”
Via Planet F1.
Ralf Schumacher’s sense of humour has returned and after a month of seething he has embraced - and laughed at - his status as F1’s Porn King.And he’s done it for charity. Ralf made the headlines at the end of November when he revealed he was investing in the Austrian branch of Beate Uhse, a German erotic products company, as a “a silent partner.” And although he claimed his $2.6 million business venture was “just like any other investment,” German comedian Stefan Raab didn’t agree.
It wasn’t long before the jokes were coming thick and fast with Raab dubbing the Toyota driver ‘Porn Ralf‘ and his wife, ‘Hard Cora’. It didn’t stop there, though, as T-shirts and caps soon hit the market.
But while the comedian’s audience was laughing, Ralf wasn’t. In fact his reaction to what he said was “a campaign against” him was to withdraw from his sex shop venture and start legal proceedings against Raab. However, like Ralf’s reign as ‘F1’s Porn King’ was short-lived, so too has been his legal action.
Thanks partly to the popularity of the ‘Porn King’ clothing items and partly to Ralf’s sense of humour returning, the German not only dropped the legal proceedings but also appeared on Raab’s show.
“Putting this case at rest was my personal part of Christmas amnesty,” Ralf said.
“But there was much more than simply putting aside this little quarrel.”
He did, however, insist on one concession from Raab. And that was that all the money from the shirts and caps, which Ralf says was more than 100,000 Euros, “goes to charity.”
The German added: “I do have a sense of humour.”
Sense of Humor?
The cynical me says he decided to save legal fees on a case that would have been lost and turned a negative into a positive by donating the concession proceeds to a charity.
