I just reviewed a resume that included many adult entertainment references. Didn't diminish any from the candidate's chances at all and as a bonus it was fun to checkout out his previous work.

If I was a stereotypical blow hard though I definitely would have tossed his resume in the trash. There is zero apparent cost to eliminating a resume.

Based on your next potential employer, just make sure you remove the reference if you're applying to BYU or Bob Jones or something.
