Free Hosts

John Copeland of Pixotna writes on YNOTnetwork: The problem with anonymous free hosting is more than a problem of copyright infringement. Other criminal activities such as Child pornography, bestiality also thrive on the anonymity of free hosting services. I am currently working on developing a precept to submit to APIC which I feel Free Hosts should operate under. This "code of conduct" is a "work in progress" and I am very interested in the feedback of all webmasters, content producers, ISP's, and Free Host operators and users.

Proposed maxim for Free Hosting Services: Free Hosting Services should:

-- Block anonymous Free Email Addresses from ability of setting up Free Host accounts.
-- Verify "ISP given Dial-up Email Addresses" by Emailing Passwords used to setup account.
-- Provide a dynamically generated list of the URLs of new Free Host client pages updated by a cron on a hourly basis, and available to registered content providers and child pornography watch dogs groups.
-- Post a *prominent* zero-tolerance edict, including all illegal activities including copyright infringement. Agreement to each activity must be checked off in signup process.
-- Comply with Federal Law and require Title 18 Chapter 110 Section 2257 statements by each Free Host client posting content to their servers.
-- Post only barebones 404 pages in replacing any pages removed because of infringement, child pornography or other illegal activities.(no auto-refresh, links or banners to FreeHost's sites
-- this is to eliminate the profiting from traffic directed there by illegal enterprises. -- and.......or.......?(suggestions are appreciated)

Those that comply would be eligible for:
-- Free legal content for their users from a legal "content pool" donated from APIC members
-- Prominent preferred listing in APIC member's and APIC supporter's Resource pages.
-- Prominent listing in APIC's supplier page.
-- Able to fly APIC approved Free Host logo. -- and.......or.......?(suggestions are appreciated)

Those that don't comply would: Be boycotted by APIC members, supporters and sympathizers. Major content providers would cease licensing content to their affiliated sites. Non-compliant sites would put themselves in the position to be the target of all legal sanctions available. This could include law suits, reporting of 18/2257 violations to authorities, and interested parties, including local, regional and national newspaper, radio and television expose's. Letters to congressmen, legislators, politicians, judges, watchdog organizations and law enforcement agencies. It won't be pretty. But if we can't regulate ourselves, the government will.

The Free Hosts are making millions by not being responsible for what goes on their pages. They are a safe harbor for posters of child pornography and copyright infringement. It affects us all, more or less, whether we are aware of it or not -- and the Free Hosts owners are laughing all the way to the bank.

Lori Michaels Interview

Mr. Web Review (http://www.mrwebreview.com) recently sat down with the stunning Lori Michaels, she of the natural 36Cs. Here is an excerpt. For the entire interview please visit the webpage:

Q: So many girls are having boob jobs these days and you are naturally blessed. Does that help you much in the biz?

LM: YES! Guys love natural boobs. That's all I hear when I do personal appearances...about how they are getting tired of the fake-looking boobs.

Q: Do you think girls can really squirt? There's been some debate over the years and I like to ask the starlets. Is it pee or real?

LM: I have no idea, probably some gal peeing on film. I sure never had anything squirt out of me (laughs).

Q: Is it hard to maintain a relationship with anyone outside the biz? Are you in a serious relationship now?

LM: I haven't dated for 11 years now. i just don't want some jealous husband or boyfriend while I'm in the business. Don't get me wrong. I love men and get so horny I could climb the walls sometimes. But I just think it's better to belong to my fans while I'm in the business. I give them a workout of my website (http://lorilive.com), sometimes in the chat room.

Q: Look into your crystal ball and tell me what porno looks like in five years. Do we still watch it on TV? Is it more interactive? Can we "feel" it, "smell" it?

LM: I think you'll see everything going to DVDs. The quality is so much better. I don't think you will ever see it on free TV. I just hope they make it more like I try to do: I like natural, passionate scenes with lots of kissing and hugging. To me, that is much sexier than some guy spitting in some girls butthole. I think someone could get rich if they put out a book with the titles of some of these adult movies. Did you ever look at the names of some of them? It would be great at a party. Amazon Buttslammers (laughs). That's why I love Vivid. They try to add a little class to the business.

Q: What is the biggest misconception your fans have about you and about porn stars in general?

LM: I think they think we just go out and screw anyone we can get our hands on. I am lucky that in most of my fans know what I'm like and therefore don't hassle me so much or send rude emails. I get between 140-160 emails a day now and I doubt if I get over two rude ones a week. There are a lot of really nice fans out there. I think they like it that I'm just so down home.

Q: Wildest encounter with a fan?

LM: I had a fan give me his underwear at the CES Show in Vegas. Used underwear. (laughs).

Q: OK, too much information (but I asked)...Moving on, do you run lorilive.com? How much work is that?

LM: I do it all myself. i made the website, do all the web cams, scan all the pics, etc. It is a lot of work. I'm staying home the next two months to work on it, make new web cams, videos and do some digital photo shots.

Q: When you surf the net, what sites do you visit often?

LM: I honestly don't surf the web. I try not to copy anything. I make my site fast loading and stay away from all the little gimmicks, that cause a site to download slow. There are still a bunch of fans out there with slow connections. Real Video is a joke to me...very poor quality and uses a ton of bandwidth. That's why my web cam is a slower frame rate but very good quality. The guys love it. .

Q: I read where you said the on-camera sex is just a job and that you never get off on camera?

LM: That's a lie. I don't know who makes things up like that. When I made Cheap Shots for Vivid, Mark Davis had me on the desk. I was so embarrassed to cum on film. I kept trying to hide it. If you watch my hands in that scene, you can tell that I was cumming constantly. I do hate the fake moaning and acting from girls trying to overdo it. When I cum, I don't scream or anything. It's just a personal thing inside to me. Just watch my hands and don't dare kiss me when I start to cum or I'll suck your tongue out of your mouth.

Hanco Exec Departs

Lev writes: Hanco execs are dropping like flies. Director of Marketing, Dana Frank, is the latest to jump ship. Her reasons: mismanagement, lake of company focus, and general inter-office malaise. Along the same vain, James Gulf, Hanco's Content Manager, also resigned today April 17, 2000.

Email: Thousand Oaks, CA- Friday, April 14, 2000. Dylan Wroblewski announced his formal resignation from Hanco Entertainment/ PrimeXTC. Mr. Wroblewski left his position as Director of Web Operations and Product Development citing only irreconcilable differences regarding "...company direction, and management techniques".

When reach for comment, Mr. Wroblewski gave the following statement: "To all of my colleagues, business associates and friends, I will miss you all. But only temporarily! I will be working with all of you again very soon. I feel I have done all that I can at PrimeXTC and it is simply time to move on. I have no negative feelings towards any staff member at PrimeXTC, and I wish them the very best of luck with every future endeavor. On a personal note, my very special thanks to Hanco Vice President, Jim Henley for allowing me this opportunity, for bringing me to California, and more importantly, for his guidance and friendship."

Dylan Wroblewski served as Director of Web Operations and Product Development for Hanco Entertainment beginning in November of 1999. While with Hanco, Mr. Wroblewski was responsible for website developmet of xpleasures.com, primextc.com, cleavagecity.com, pinksushi.com as well as two content disks for webmasters, Xpleasures Vol.1 and Oral Fever Vol. 1.

In addition to content and website production, Mr. Wroblewski also developed and ran the webmaster sales division of PrimeXTC, and assisted in the creation of the PrimeXTC booth as well as helping to host the Xbash featuring David Lee Roth at IA2000 in January. Prior to Hanco/ PrimeXTC, Dylan held the title of Vice President of Operations for another content provider, Zmaster Inc.

Luke: Another Hanco exec apparently is calling it quits. Eric Moir sent out this email to webmasters: "Erick Moir a.k.a. Moi Moi has resigned as the COO of Hanco Entertainment. I cannot guarantee that all payments will be paid, but I sure hope for everyone's sake that the webmasters' checks are cut on time for everyone. We will all do business together in the near future!"

Luke: I cruised over to the YNOTnetwork.com posting board for these goodies:

Cyberwench writes: I have just seen the one thing that will make me angrier than just about anything else on the adult Net... the word "pokemon" as part of a title for a damned [porn] link list!! This same site has no RSACi tags, no nothing to protect children from it in SEs or anywhere else on the Net!! GRRRRRR... how I sometimes wish US law still allowed someone to be drawn and quartered... I'd nominate this webmaster in a heartbeat!

As the mother of an 11-year-old child, I have a MAJOR problem with unscrupulous, unethical webmasters who will put words like that in their title, metas, or anywhere else on their adult sites. And then we wonder why we have such a hard time being taken seriously in the mainstream Internet business world... gee, I can't imagine why.

Gerard: It now looks like VISA/MC will have much tighter controls to stop several of the sites that make it impossible to cancel etc, but they have been able to do their stuff for years. They'll move on to another scam and leave the mess for others to clean up.

Mike South writes Luke: now it's time to get in Gene Ross's s--- for acting like an internet scammer and putting in an exit console....that s--- is lame.

Bagging on Jasmine St. Clair

XoticPrncsXXX: Jasmine St. Clair is so yick.
XoticPrncsXXX: She's crabby.
XoticPrncsXXX: You know how you've always got 1 girl talking s--- about every other girl in the business? "Oh, she's nice to your face, but she's a bitch, I'm the only one who knows, everyone else is blind, she's the devil, blah blah blah!!" That whole thingy.
XoticPrncsXXX: Well, it's not me. . . I'm just going to say some not nice stuff to you about Jasmine.
XoticPrncsXXX: [I'm] Kaytiedid. Like the grasshopper.
Luzdedos1: r u a porn star?
XoticPrncsXXX: I am an exotic entertainer.
XoticPrncsXXX: All the girls that everyone only has good things to say about working with or being around, there's always one girl starting rumours that they're hella cracked out.
XoticPrncsXXX: 500 people can say they're great, but this one girl is always like, "Well, she's actually really mean, and sucks off Regan, and has elephantitis of the ovaries, and is on crack, and she's just got you all fooled!!"
XoticPrncsXXX: That's Jasmine. That's what she does.
XoticPrncsXXX: She can't handle it that people would rather see someone like Gina worked than her.
XoticPrncsXXX: And she (Jasmine) has nothing to be conceited over. If she worked as an investment banker, then I'm Homer f---ing Simpson. I have a brother who worked for A.G. Edwards as a broker. Most investment bankers have an MBA, plus they have to have about five previous years experience at "piss on" jobs. Jasmine might not have been born in a trailer park, but no one believes any of the s--- she tells about herself.
XoticPrncsXXX: She antagonises any female she thinks is getting better "coverage" than her.
XoticPrncsXXX: You never hear girls going, "Oh, Mia's so hard to work with. Gina's so nasty to other girls. Blair is such a crotch." That's all you hear out of Jasmine's mouth. I realize that I'm doing the same thing, but I'm not saying this for some sort of bizarre publicity/personal gain thing, like she does. I'm just saying it to clue people in. She realizes she was pretty much a novelty item. . . like Troll Dolls.
XoticPrncsXXX: A good 75-80% of men who comment on her looks say she looks like Ron Jeremy, anyway. XoticPrncsXXX: Only Ronnie's nicer. And actually moves during sex.
XoticPrncsXXX: She pulls a better prima donna act than most people have seen since the late '80's.

Rocco Doesn't Work With the Big Stars

David Tosi writes on RAME: Rocco doesn't work with big stars. Usually he features newcomers or at least girls who have not been in the adult business very long (only recent exception may be Dina Jewel, but AFAIK 'www.roccofunclub.com' was shot about 1 one year and a half before his release, when Dina just changed from red to blonde). Cristoph Clark sometimes features big name starlets (Nikki Anderson in particular) but very seldom enroles french babes. The only main exception is Fovea, but I think she moved to Budapest (where Christoph now lives and shoots) few times a year. She even starred in some Private stuff located there.

Lynne On Lookism

Lynne L-patin writes: Luke, I've noticed over the past few months that, although your contributors rarely have points to make about my writing or my opinions, they are quick to criticize my physical appearance. Since the way a person looks is obviously far more important than the way they think, I would like to level out the playing field and subject us all to the same standards. Anyone who wishes to comment on Luke's site, starting with Luke, should be required to submit a full frontal nude picture for reference, so we can see their qualifications. Men's pictures should feature full erections measured against a ruler, so that we can see their dick size. After all, a man is nothing but his dick.

Modern science now discounts Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity, because Al had no pectorals. Chaim Amalek should not comment on leftist issues because his dick points to the right. Since men with dicks measuring under six inches are worthless human beings and should be castrated to prevent them from passing on their defective genetic heritage, we could easily disregard them completely. Lexington Steele has a very big dick and a couple of college degrees, so what he says must be correct. Women with artificial breasts disqualify themselves from having real opinions. Anyone who is ten percent or more over ideal body weight can be called fathead, lardbrain, flabass, tubbo, etc.

Luke, once we view your nude picture we can see that your interest in racism is simply the result of having a short, ugly dick. Small dicked white guys aren't qualified to speak on anything, especially racial issues. How dare you? You have to have at least an eight inch dick to speak to the Negro Question. And didn't you realize that getting that tiny Aussie penis circumcized would make it look even shorter? Your book is incoherent because you've got a flabby belly and you smell funny. Do some sit ups and use deodorant and your writing will improve.

Chaim, you old fart, surely by now your balls hang to your knees. How dare you share your ancient outmoded wrinkled opinions? Don't you know that only men with washboard abdomens and no experience whatsoever have anything useful to contribute to society? Goddess gave birth, so she should stuff her stretch mark ridden attitude up her loose sloppy cunt and leave the stalking to sixteen-year-old virgins with monkey butts. We could discuss the real reason Brandy had to leave porn, but everytime I visualize it, I wanna puke. And so on.

Goddess writes: I get the gist of what Lynne's saying, but I think she needs to address her comments SPECIFICALLY to the people who are criticizing her looks, and I DEFINATELY ain't one of 'em. I don't have a clue as to what she looks like, nor does it concern me enough to find out.

Curious writes: Wow! Three days without a Lynn L-patin rant and she's back with a vengeance! I was getting a little worried and even considered filing a missing persons report. I mean three days without Lynn documenting the excruciating minutia of her daily struggle? I suspected foul play, however, now I can relax knowing that every night I can catch up with every single boring detail of her life and every unfiltered thought that streams into her head.

Again, I must insist that she get off her soap box on look-ism / age-ism / wrinkle-ism. You were a porn producer and (gasp) performer! Call it comeuppance or call it irony, but the fact remains that you are a major contributor to this porno mindset that torments you so much. You buttered your bread now sleep in it!

Hollywood's Heterophobia

I found this interesting article by Daniel Jeffreys in the 4/1/00 Daily Mail. I agree with it. I enjoyed most of 'American Beauty,' though I was also disturbed by it.

I am generally disturbed by Hollywood's promotion of homosexuality, sexual deviance and many forms of deviance. I loved Michael Medved's book "Hollywood vs America," which made these points in greater detail.

Jeffreys writes:

American Beauty is heterophobia's propaganda masterpiece.

Its sweep of the Academy Awards' top categories thrilled Hollywood's gay community, who have been trying to prove for a long time that heterosexuality is a sad form of sexual dysfunction.

The screenwriter, who won an Oscar for Best Screenplay, is Alan Ball. He grew up in the American South, in Georgia.

Ball's family life was, by his own admission, dysfunctional. He compares his childhood to American Beauty's Ricky, the son of Lester Burnham's mad neighbour and eventual nemesis.

Ball's home included a father who was remote and distant, plus a mother who suffered severe depression after Ball's sister died in a car accident.

Ball says he did not even know he was homosexual until he went to university, but claims to have suffered enough persecution at the hands of heterosexuality to believe it is inherently evil.

At school, he was weedy and bespectacled. He played in the school band and was bullied by members of the school football team, who always dated the prettiest girls. He recalled recently that it was a time when homosexuality was so taboo he could not even acknowledge to himself that he was gay.

Once Ball arrived in Hollywood, he became successful writing scripts for TV comedies and it was here his contempt for heterosexuality hardened.

He wrote American Beauty while working for Cybill Shepherd on her show Cybill. It was a relationship forged in hell. Shepherd, a vivacious blonde, is an aggressive heterosexual.

If her new autobiography is to be believed, she once had group sex with her personal trainer and his best friend because she wanted all her pleasure points stimulated simultaneously.

She is also the kind of girl who would have spent time with football players at school - the kind of guys who used to slap Ball around.

BALL has made no secret of his hatred for Shepherd, and sources say much of the shrillness in Lester Burnham's wife - played by Annette Bening - is based on Ball's antipathy towards a woman who made no secret of her unalloyed enjoyment of the kind of macho hunk Ball has never been.

American Beauty provided Ball with another opportunity to promote his agenda. Last year, he wrote and produced a TV series called Oh, Grow Up, which featured two straight men sharing a house with a gay man, who, predictably, has much the better life.

The series did not do well but in his film Ball was able to make his anti-heterosexual themes work with more power. In American Beauty, Ball's central characters, Lester and his wife, by focusing their sex drives on a teenage girl and a married man, are ciphers for the idea that heterosexuality must always mutate and become something damaging or perverse.

The Fitts, who live next door to Lester, have different problems. Mr Fitt is a violent ex-Marine who persecutes his wife - making the point that heterosexuality always tends to become abusive - and beats his son.

Mr Fitt's problems, of course, stem from the fact that he is gay but cannot accept it. When Fitt mistakenly decides Lester Burnham is also gay, he makes a pass. Spurned, he shoots Burnham in the head.

The only battle Ball lost with his English director, Sam Mendes, and star, Spacey, as the script was filmed, tells much about Ball's motivations.

In the final cut, Burnham stops just short of consummating his desires for his daughter's Lolita-like friend. Ball wanted the consummation to happen so that, according to sources, Burnham, the dark soul of heterosexuality revealed, could be seen as completely irredeemable.

But Burnham is allowed to show a sudden emotional maturity, rejects this chance of a seedy seduction and dies gazing lovingly at a picture of his wife and child. The revised ending weakens Ball's attack on heterosexuality, but by then the main damage has been done.

Were Ball the only prosletysing gay character in this off- screen drama, the case against American Beauty could not be made, but that is far from the truth.

LONG before it became an Oscar hit, Ball's script was picked up by Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen, who eventually produced the film and were on stage last Sunday to collect the Oscar for Best Picture.

These two men got to know each other in 1995 when Cohen invited Jinks to be on the steering committee of Out There, an activist group of gay entertainment executives that he had co-founded.

Sources say that one of Out There's key objectives is to promote the gay lifestyle within films and members talk openly among themselves about how best to mock heterosexuality.

Members of Out There have been actively involved in films like American Pie, which makes adolescent heterosexuality seem like a monstrous affliction, and the U.S. TV series Will And Grace, whose two leading gay men always seem to get the best lines, usually at the expense of a hapless heterosexual.

Given their Out There affiliation, Jinks and Cohen knew just where to take the American Beauty script to get it made - to fellow Out There sympathiser David Geffen, Steven Spielberg's partner in Dreamworks.

As, The Operator, a new biography of Geffen makes clear, Geffen is a predatory homosexual who has devoted considerable energy to projects that target heterosexuality.

He is allegedly the main force in the Velvet Mafia, a loose association of powerful gay men who use their influence in Hollywood to advance gay issues.

Sources say Geffen has frequently changed scripts if they seem to be too sympathetic towards heterosexual love or if they show any hint of antipathy towards gays.

In 20 years of filmmaking, Geffen has become infamous for making or breaking careers based on whether the people involved are gay and willing to be part of his extremely active sex life.

His summer parties at Fire Island, a gay resort 30 miles outside Manhattan, are legendary as the place the Velvet Mafia meet to indulge in extraordinary bacchanals.

HIS GUEST list begins with designer Calvin Klein and includes other Velvet Mafia members such as Barry Diller (who helped create The Simpsons), George Michael and Sandy Gallin, the super-powerful talent agent who discovered Madonna, Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts.

In recent years, several guests at Geffen's Fire Island house have described weekend-long orgies, fuelled by drugs, at which Geffen and his powerful friends ran a 'meat market', selecting young men for either sex or stardom.

'If you weren't incredibly handsome and well-built, there was no way you would get in,' says a New York movie agent who has been to several Geffen parties. 'Dress was minimal or nonexistent, and Geffen would prowl with his friends, squeezing men like they were cattle.'

When Jinks and Cohen took American Beauty to Geffen, the billionaire producer was ecstatic.

He rushed the script through the approval process - virtually unheard of for a screenplay by a writer with no previous movie hits - and maintained a close personal interest in casting.

Geffen, Jinks, Cohen and Ball all attended half a dozen Oscar parties after the triumph of American Beauty. One producer who is close to Ball said they had good reason to be happy.

After all, he said, they have created a film that is both a masterpiece and the most corrosive satire of heterosexual life that has ever made $100 million from the very people it vilifies.

And that is the hard truth about American Beauty. It exists and triumphed because, for some gays, it is not enough to win civil rights and equality of opportunity.

They want more: a society in which heterosexuality is so condemned that homosexuals can win any increases in power they might choose.

Music critic J.D. Considine wrote Luke a few weeks ago: Hey, I know you're Australian and all, but cut back on the tabloid journalism, OK? This Velvet Mafia crap is almost as riiculous as the average Emmett posting. The whole idea that Hollywood is controlled by perverted outsiders is not new. Posts on your site have already gone into how the Jews have been demonized for offering a "perverted" perspective in film because of their allgedly insidious dominance of the industry, when the truth is that Hollywood owes its prominence solely to the fact that its studios make movies people want to see.

Look, Luke, I know you like to stir s--- up. That's why I read your site. Frankly, your stuff is far more interesting than the average porn video, and pretty much as credible (ooh, ooh, baby, I'm posting the truth...). But between the "Is Luke Really a Jew" thread and this Velvet Mafia stuff, it seems to me that you're dealing with some very serious personal demons. Fact is, Luke, you may be of the Jewish faith, but your ethnography is not that of a Jew. And I strongly suspect that one of the things that bothers you about pornography is the way that watching it makes you confront the sexual power of an erect penis -- a prospect that makes you (and many a porn theorist) uncomfortable.

Personally, I think you'd get through both problems a lot quicker if you dealt directly with your feelings about your father. But what the hell do I know?

Chaim Amalek writes: Luke, since much of your web site is given over to detailed descriptions of disputes among prostitutes, their pimps, and the people who care about them, yours is not the best web site for the discussion of issues that would better be discussed on the pages of the Atlantic Monthly or on Sixty Minutes. But we both know that isn't going to happen - the people who control our media have more than sufficient power to see to that. And see to it they do (remember the instructive example set by CBS in its appalling treatment of Andy Rooney when he dared give voice to what tens of millions of Americans think about gays and aids?), with the chief exception being the internet. And for that reason, the internet scares them.

Without question, you are really hitting a nerve with your stories about homosexual influence over American culture. Perhaps even more than the issues of race, crime, or immigration, the issue of homosexual influence over our overwhelmingly heterosexual world is one of the great unwritten stories of our time, much more so than the disproportionate power of jews over mass media. (After all, while a number of jewish writers have written books and essays to acknowledge and explain this jewish power, no homosexual has dared write a book that even acknowledged, let alone attempted to explain, homosexual influence.)

If you want to gauge the degree to which liberal media elites are troubled by such forbidden talk, just consider the sort of reaction you (or others) receive from them to the various letters that appear on your web site. Copies of essays by National Alliance founder William Pierce that call for the outright extermination of billions of human beings seem not to trouble them nearly as much as your attempts to shine some light on homosexual power. They may never write to condemn you for repeating what Pierce has to say about the events of the day - even when you include a personal preface that affirms much of his analysis! - but whenever you begin talking about the gay elites that influence so much of our culture, they quickly make their displeasure known. "Luke - please, there is no story here. Honest. Now go back to writing about the debasement of women in hetero porn like the good dumb malleable goy that you really are."

Does any of this matter? You have noted the bizarre things otherwise intelligent people seem compelled to say when polled on issues relating to sexuality. ("Why, of course I would be happy to learn that my son prefers inserting his penis into a man's rectum that has just seen the passage of excrement to putting it into a woman's vagina.")

Either such people have indeed become corrupted by the example set by our elites, or they feel compelled to lie when queried by the representatives of these elites. Either scenario is bad for us as a people, bad for America, and bad for the world. Decent people are morally obliged to resist.

PS: As I recall, back in the mid-1990's 60 Minutes commentator Rooney did a piece on that show in which he suggested that one of the reasons for the rapid spread of HIV among homosexuals was the promiscuous behavior of those gays who were among the first to be infected. For that, World War II veteran Rooney was humiliated in public, and forced to recant on national television. In the face of this great humiliation, the rest of the media was silent.

You might recall the book "And the Band Played On" by Randy Shilts. Shilts, who during the 1980's was the only national journalist covering the AIDS epidemic full time was gay himself. He described the extreme promiscuity of much of the gay male community (especially the San Francisco bathhouse community). His fiercst critics tended to be members of the gay press. Shilts go it right when in the mid 1980's he stated in his book that AID whould not become a significant hetrosexal disease.

Luke Gets Mail

Hank writes: I never heard what happened to cause Gloria Leonard's broken foot. Was it from sticking it in her mouth?...or did all the names she drops shatter it? Interesting how Gene Ross editorialized that AVN would never comment on the performers themselves, yet look at Gene's site...full of negative comments about porn girls coming from the other side of the business (example: "her hair looks like a rat's nest"). Interesting.

Goddess writes: Luke, I'd like to know what your thoughts are on Mark Kernes' editorial on gossip in this month's AVN. Also, I find it difficult to believe that someone would kill over nude photographs of Demi Moore. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't she appear nude on the cover of a national magazine?? Not like she has anything to hide at this point in time.

Luke: Kernes wrote against gossip. He did not identify with people who slow down when they drive by traffic accidents so they can gawk. He thinks that is disgusting, which it probably is. Kernes inferred that reading my site is like slowing down to look at a traffic accident. Also in the April issue of AVN, Kernes wrote some thoughtful articles on the Rough Sex controversy.

The headline for his editorial against gossip was "On Gossip, And Other Forms Of "Rape"." I agree that gossip can be a form of rape. That you can rape a name by reporting inaccurate information about the person and thus damaging his reputation. But I don't think that most gossip equates with rape.

Mark writes: "I can't imagine a person who's reasonably at peace...giving a rat's ass about why Starlet Y has split with Boyfriend Z..."

Luke: I can. Many people tend to be interested in people. Not just people they personally know, but people they've heard about or seen on TV or watched in pornographic videos. I don't think this indicates that a person is at peace, or not at peace, with himself. It just indicates the bent of a person.

I agree with Kernes that gossip can be highly damaging. I think gossip is inherently a part of life, like porn. And the tendency of both is towards destruction.

My religion, like all religions of which I am aware, condemns gossip.

Goddess writes: I was actually wondering if you didn't find it a tad ironic, as I did, that while he hates gossip, I've seen him respond to comments on Gene's page, ergo he MUST be reading the gossip he hates so much:) Plus, the fact that AVN has it's OWN gossip column shouldn't go unnoticed.

Chaim Amalek writes: We here at l-keford.com are always on the lookout for ways to add to the value of the l-keford.com experience by presenting information suppressed by the monopoly press. Whether it is the latest news on the rectal health of your favorite porn star or mind-blowing essays concerning racial issues, this is the place to be. And this is the place to be for travel tips, too!

For those of you who visit New York, have you ever wondered what the city would be like if there were fewer sharp-elbowed people competing with you for the reservations at Nobu or for seats at that Broadway show? Oh hell, let me be blunt, have you ever wondered what it would be like to live here if only there were no Jews about? Well, there are several nights a year when your dream of a JudenFrei Manhattan can appear to come true. These are the nights of Erev Yom Kippur (the evening before the day of Yom Kippur), the night before the first day of the Jewish New Year, and, most importantly, the night of the first Passover Seder (this week!). You see, on each of these nights, even the most liberal, secular of New York Jews returns to kith and kin to have an important meal with his family. That means that all of the jews who would normally be at the theater or competing with you for seats at the best restaurants in town will not be there. The streets become weirdly quite, and you can see for yourself what New York would be like if all its Jews vanished for an evening. Provided you stick to white neighborhoods, it is a very peaceful time in the City.

Of course, the downside of these days is that should you take ill and require medical attention, you are screwed.

PS Regarding Sexaddict's recent research into the health of the people of Iceland and the topic of genetic drift, does he now agree that there is little for the white race as a whole to gain by miscegenating with negroes? (As I noted, this is not to say that there is no case for genetically isolated populations of whites like Satmar Chassidim or Amish people to miscegenate. Given the racism of the former, this is not likely to occur, unless at the point of a bayonette.) "Guns, Germs and Steel" is indeed a great book; it should be read in parallel with "The Wealth and Poverty of Nations" for what they teach (which is not necessarily in contradiction to all schools of racial thinking). I am pretty sure that I recommended these to your audience before. Buy them, read them.

PPS By the way, I am now certain that, like most New Yorkers known by that name, your "Goddess" is a male transvestite, and definitely not jewish. Chaim Amalek

Porn Discussion on Nerve.com

I've been reading the Matt Labash - Ian Gittler - John Stagliano discussion on nerve.com and was struck by this observation from Labash: "The only thing porn reveals about the human condition is our endless capacity to debase ourselves and then, to not only rationalize it, but to elevate and even celebrate our own debasement."

Gittler: "If porn consumption can be equated with smoking and drinking, as Matt points out — and I think it can be (although because it doesn't have physical health repercussions, its effects may be more insidious) — then isn't it worthy of the same type of analysis?

"In terms of elevating the "art" aspect of porn through "criticism," there have been — maybe — ten minds in the total history of "criticism" of any medium, much less porn, who have actually done, written or thought anything that actually had the effect of elevating anything. So there's always great satisfaction in artists of all stripes taking the wind out of cultural airbags, in porn or anywhere else."

Stagliano: "Matt, I really feel sorry for you. What kind of "art" do you enjoy? The art of looking down your nose at others? You call people who enjoy porn and Michael Bolton morons. You are judging these artists or art forms as somehow not being valid as art. Hey, let's discuss art! What do you like? Why do you like it? Have you seen Tristan Taormino's Video Guide to Anal Sex? There is a scene there between Jazmine and Nacho. This scene works as art because it is a selective recreation of an aspect of reality, an isolation of a certain thing for us to see. That thing is incredibly sensual passion. Sexual passion of the kind that few people ever experience in their lives. Matt, tell me you f--- like that all the time in your life. Tell me you've f---ed once like that in your life. And, if you have, is it an experience worth remembering, recreating? That is the art of porn. Watching a great actor and actress in regular movies have a love scene could be as intense, but I've never seen one. Seeing the kind of passion and wild sexual abandon exhibited by Nacho and Jazmine is an example of what humans are capable of experiencing. Lots of us want to experience life like that, but never do. That is the Art of Porn."

Labash: "Art is not merely a reflection of reality, but it fertilizes it, refracts it, interprets it, provides context. Porn largely strips the context from the majestically complex world of sex, making a one-dimensional presentation of a multi-dimensional act...

"...Maybe God created us in His image. And maybe we don't always care too much about our image, but maybe God does care about us ruining His image. And maybe He's not too keen on His image being associated with bonking every warm opening in sight, especially not on camera. And maybe He encoded us with an innate sense of guilt, which some people are more successful at ignoring than others. Even hardcases like John obviously have it. For by his own admission, he took a masturbation sabbatical for two years, something I wouldn't recommend during my single days even in the frothiest fervor of puritanical fury. Keep in mind that social stigma is the cornerstone of most civilizations. Without it, we'd feel free to run wild in the streets, rape and pillage, maybe even burn Michael Bolton records. And really, what is social stigma, besides enforcing collectively the shame that we naturally feel as individuals?"

Brandy Alexandre writes: "Regarding Stagliano's comments about art, they are valid to a degree, however I tend to look upon things as art based on the motivations and inventions behind their creation. While we can easily praise the outcome of a porn shoot as art, 99% of the time in those cases the only reason it was created was in the pursuit of money and the "artist" got lucky. Calling something art in hindsight, or "Monday morning quarterbacking" dilutes and pollutes the meaning of the word.

"There are very few people involved in porn for the sake of art. One of them is Stagliano. Yeah, he's sold out in recent years, but his original pursuit was an artistic one, and the proof of that is in the popularity of his product. Early John Leslie, and always Andrew Blake (even though his work does nothing for me), are your other examples of pornographic art (it's still porn; don't kid yourselves) and dare I say myself. I was more interested in seeing my stories come to life than making money. People CONSTANTLY tell me I can still direct, there's lots of little companies and lots of nonsense "scripts" out there. They're missing the point when it comes to where my head is at. If I can't create something I think is intelligent, funny, "artistic," I don't want to be bothered with it.

"So in the end, I can see the point from both sides. Generally what you see in porn is not art, it's commerce. Once in a while you can spot an artist, and maybe some of the commercial product turns out to be artistic, but taking the industry as a whole, call a spade a spade, and a jack-off flick a jack-off flick."

Talking Blue.com

From Talkingblue.com: Now that Luke F-rd has been deported back to the U.S., who is the biggest porn celebrity down under? Las Vegas Novelties owner and porn superstar Serenity was once again the special guest attraction for the 2000 Sydney Sexpo. The show marks the popular actress' 2nd time in Australia for the annual convention. Axisshop.com, distributor of Wicked Pictures videos and Las Vegas Novelties products, brought in the blonde Wicked Girl to do signings at the Sexpo.

Dennis Prager

In his third hour of his daily talkshow, Dennis Prager said society should prefer heterosexual marital sex as the ideal form of sexual expression. Callers said any sex was fine so long as noone was hurt. Prager preferred the Judeo-Christian sex guidelines. The humanist option was too elastic. What's wrong with brother - sister sex then? Or bestiality?

Prager discussed Brooke Shield's interview in the homosexual magazine 'The Advocate.' Brooke said she wanted to get married to a man and have kids, even though she found women sexually attractive. But because society frowned on lesbianism, she would prefer to settle down with a man.

Callers said it makes no difference to them if their child has sex with a member of the same sex or the other sex.

Luther writes: Dear Mr. Ford: A number of your readers has taken umbrage at the directness with which I champion the cause of Christ Jesus to those ensnared by the devil. That they scream out in moral pain is not at all surprising, for do you know what the three most terrifying words to the demon-possessed are?

JESUS LOVES YOU!

Yes, these are the three most terrifying words in the English language to Satan, and the three words that he does not want his prisoners in pornographic sin to hear. So please, if you are a young girl who thinks that pornography is the only route open to you in life, know this - JESUS LOVES YOU. And he has greater and better things in store for you. If you are a frustrated film maker who feels that this is the way to start a career in cinema, remember - JESUS LOVES YOU. If you are a lonely man who is convinced that the only social intercourse you can have with a woman is via videotape, remember - JESUS LOVES YOU. Now lets remind ourselves and inform others of this good news every day, and get ready to hear Satan scream!

Are you fat? JESUS LOVES YOU!

Are you old? JESUS LOVES YOU!

Are you ugly? JESUS LOVES YOU!

Are you jewish? JESUS LOVES YOU!

Do you have HIV? JESUS LOVES YOU!

Are you a drug addict? JESUS LOVES YOU!

Does your boss hate you? JESUS LOVES YOU!

Are you a prisoner? JESUS LOVES YOU!

Are you unpopular? JESUS LOVES YOU!

Are you poor? JESUS LOVES YOU!

Remember, no matter how far you fall short of the ideals set by Hollywood or Wall Street, no matter what the problems you encounter with your fellow man - JESUS LOVES YOU SO MUCH THAT HE DIED ON THE CROSS FOR YOU!

Yours in Christian Love, Lord Peter Luther Christian, OBE
