Why can't Republicans party?

By Chaim Amalek, our correspondent in Manhattan.

Hayley Rivers Bored With Porn

Hayley Rivers writes:

I am rapidly becoming bored with the adult industry. At first, everyone seemed nice enough and the deals were straightforward. Now it seems that every other producer I meet wants sex in exchange for putting me in their movies. "If it's worth it to you, I have a little offer..." they begin. Frankly, it is not worth it to use my body as a bargaining tool to be in a movie. It would seriously mess with my mind to do so. So that's it. If I get any straightforward offers through my agent, I will consider them, but no more going to see producers.

I have not experienced more satisfaction lately than in compiling research for a book (not my book). I swoon before statistics, charts and graphs, in a world where my curiosity can be well sated. I meet with government branches and get anwers to intellectual questions. They look me in the eye. They can tell I've done my research. They don't ask if I'm wearing panties under my business attire (I'm not).

I just hate wearing panties. Sometimes I wear them, sometimes I don't. When I am at home typing at the computer (like now), I am usually naked. I love fashion, but I hate wearing clothes, if that makes any sense. And now that I live alone, it is no problem to be naked most of the time.

Going, going...

Miss Universe Jennifer Hawkins stumbles during a fashion show at Westfield shopping centre in the Sydney suburb of Miranda yesterday, snagging her dress on her shoe and losing the lot. While her modesty was saved by a g-string, she immediately scurried off the stage.

IRS Coming Down Hard On The Escorting Business

Agencies like Nicis Girls under scrutiny.

LT writes: "I guess the same thing that happen to Ginger Lynn some years ago will happen to Jenna Jameson real soon. When you write a book where you brag you made $17,000 for 3 scenes or that you where doing $2000/$4000 a night, six days a week for 1 1/2 year or that you were doing $300,000 per week-end dancing (I guess I should say $150,000 since she was with Nikki Tyler so they probably were 50/50) and that now you get 500 new suscribers every day...that's just calling for it and those guys at the IRS will turn their big eyes on her and will find some...errors in the booking."

Warrant For Trisha Uptown Issued

Comment from Trisha's publicist Jennifer Leigh: "At this time we have no idea what is really going on and have not had the chance to consult with Don Goo films or the attorneys. But as all of you can see this is about the most ridiculous thing."

The Blount County Sheriff's Office is dedicated to ``preserving the Christian way of life in Blount County,'' said Chief Deputy Ron Dunn, and has already investigated the Walland store for possible violations of the law.

The only violation that turned up after a series of undercover investigations was an incident of indecent exposure at a public party sponsored by the store earlier this summer. A warrant was issued earlier this week for a woman with the ``stage name'' of Tricia Uptown, Dunn said.

``The reality is we'll probably never take her into custody,'' because her whereabouts are unknown. In response to inquiries about citizen protests against the stores, Dunn said: ``It is certainly your right to protest,'' but cautioned concerned citizens against disrupting traffic or causing safety issues.

Gray also said citizens who attempt to photograph or videotape customers entering or leaving the store should ``be careful about how you use it,'' for fear of libel, slander or other liability concerns.

Bridgette Monroe Interview

Bridgette calls me back Wednesday night, September 1.

Bridgette: "Why do you want to interview me?"

Duke: "Because that is what I do for a living."

I wonder if Bridgette was on the cover of Harris Gaffin's book Hollywood Blue. No, that was Tami Monroe.

Bridgette: "I heard the charges got dropped against Kobe. Cool."

Duke: "When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?"

Bridgette: "I wanted to be a Price is Right model."

Duke: "What did your family expect of you?"

Bridgette: "They just expected me to get married and have kids, because I didn't do that well in school. My mom taught me to cook and clean. That the only way I'd make it in life was by getting married. I was very smart. I just hated school."

Duke: "Did you finish high school?"

Bridgette: "I got kicked out three months before graduation for not going. I got caught drinking a few times. I got sent to [a disciplinary] school for fighting and drinking. I was a bad kid.

"I was a good student if I liked the class. I was a bad student if I wasn't into that subject. I loved math and history and English but I thought the rest of the stuff was bulls---."

Did you have much experience with pornography growing up?

"When my mom had a boyfriend, I used to look at his Hustler magazines when I was a kid. I always dabbled in sex. I lost my virginity at 15.

"I was playing around with a little girl called Carrie when I was in kindergarten. She was Cher and I was Sonny and she'd lie on top of me. I don't know how I knew about sex at such a young age, but I knew about it."

Did you grow up with a single mother?

"She always had boyfriends and husbands. She never married my father. She married some guy I don't remember and left him. She's still with my stepdad [second and last marriage for Bridgette's mom]. She got together with him when I was about six."

How do you think it affected you psychologically for your mother to have all these different relationships?

"It affected me. I didn't see her a lot when she was separated from my stepdad and she was working at a bar and she had a bunch of boyfriends. It affected me that we moved so much. I went to 14 different schools growing up.

"That's why I had such a hard time with school. Every time I'd make new friends, we'd have to move.

"I was a latchkey kid, so I drank when I came home from school. I got in the liquor cabinet and I drank and watched cartoons. We moved about once a year all over Southern California."

It must've been hard keeping friends.

"Yeah. It was tough. It was tough moving in the middle of the school year. It was tough making new friends. I became the class clown while my step brother became the introvert.

"I couldn't break that cycle. When I moved out of the house, I moved a lot."

Did any of your mom's boyfriends take an aberrant interest in you?

"I don't recall. I blocked out a lot of my childhood. I think it had a lot to do with why I ended up into the movie business. Why I ended up having sex at such a young age. I was looking for somebody to hold me and to love me. When my parents were home, my mom and my stepdad, they weren't very nice."

Did you have a relative or anyone in your childhood you could count on?

"No. My parents were still young. It was hard on them back in the '70s to raise two kids and be married at such a young age. Back then, you were allowed to hit your kids. Everybody has seen kids getting whacked in restaurants all the time."

You were hit a lot?'

"I was."

So was I.

"See. You grew up in the '70s. That's how you were raised then. We were good kids when we were in public, weren't we?"

Yeah. I'd get hit by [] and I'd go flying across the room.

"Yeah. I remember those days. But now, I get along so well with them. The parents that they are now, I wish they were back then."

You had a step-brother with you much of the time.

"Yeah, but we didn't along. I drank a lot and partied a lot and he didn't. He wanted to be in the Navy. He's still in the Navy. I just wanted to party and have fun. I never thought about tomorrow.

"Those dreams of being a Price is Right girl faded as I got a little older. I've always lived for today and never thought of my future. I never thought of going to college.

"I started as a dancer at age 20. Selena Steele came in. She was featuring. I became good friends with her. She said I had to meet her friend Clive McClean. He wanted to shoot me for Hustler. Then, at 22, I started doing movies. I loved everything about it. I loved the family, the tightness, everything I didn't get as a child. I'm not talking about the sex part.

"I started in 1988. I left in 1991 for a boyfriend. I came back in 1993. I left again in 1995 for another boyfriend. Then came back a few years after that and I haven't really left. I did my last movie about five months.

"It's harder for me to get parts now. I'm a little older. They want the new girl. I do a lot of MILF [Mom I'd Like to F---] stuff.

"Guys want to date a porn star but they don't want to have a relationship with one. I know why people date within the industry. Or they get boyfriends who don't want to work. They become "webmasters." I can't do that. If I'm going to have a boyfriend, I'm going to want him to pay half the rent or support me."

Bridgette's main friends in the industry are Karina, Stelena Steele, Amber Lynn and Tony Tedeschi. "Most of my friends are not in the industry. They don't even talk to me about porn. I like it better that way. Otherwise you get burned out. When I first got in the business, everything was about porn, and I burned out."

What do you love and hate about being in the porn industry?

"I love being in front of the camera. I love acting. I love sex. I love a lot of people in the industry. I don't like that it has changed a lot. I don't like that they don't treat us as good as they used to. I miss having scripts. I miss doing features. I miss having make-up artists. They used to pay us for boxcovers. There used to be only one girl on the boxcover. Now it's, oh, there's my arm.

"I don't like it that anybody in the world who has a camera can be a director and know nothing about the industry. I wish the girls would honestly go to college while they're doing it. Because when you turn around, you are at my age, and then what?

"I went to college for a little bit to be a paramedic but I couldn't pass the firefighting test. I had these big boobs. It was hard. You had to run and carry a heavy load."

Stevie's a paramedia and she says she'll never get to do that now that she's done porn."

How did you react to this year's HIV crisis?

"It scared the crap out of me. You think it can't happen to you, but it really can. Look at everybody who keeps getting chlamydia and stuff and it keeps going round and round.

"I know for a fact many [porn] people don't have protected sex in their personal life. A friend of mine had unprotected sex with a couple of [18 yo] porn stars. That they [the women] never wanted to use condoms. He also says that they want him to make love to them. He says, I'm dating a porn star. I want the porno version.

"He just got something from one of the girls.

"I've had money thrown at me to do gangbangs, and I just won't do it."

What's the longest relationship you've been in?

"Five years. We never married. I was engaged twice. If the right guy came along, I'd definitely be monogamous. I'm too old to settle."

Has working in the sex industry affected your view of men?

"No, but it has affected me relationshipwise. The reason I didn't get married both times is that it is hard for me... I start fantasizing about other people. I think I was getting bored. I was used to having 31 flavors. I was having vanilla every day. No matter if you put chocolate and nuts on top of it, it is still vanilla. Even if you bring girls home, you've still got that vanilla there.

"I'd love to be in a monogamous relationship, which I was, but I got bored."

How have your friends from childhood reacted to your porn career?

"One of my friends from high school, her boyfriend got a hold of one of my videos. She got mad at me. At Christmas time, I went home. I went out to check the mail and there were videos of me in the mailbox. It was a small town.

"Back in the day, when people found out you were a stripper, girls would shun you and guys would want to f--- you. But they didn't want anybody to know. Now, if you don't do porn and you're not a stripper, there's something wrong with you. Now there are a thousand girls in the business and they all want to be the next Jenna and there will never be another Jenna. Ever.

"Savannah could've done it."

Did you know a lot of porn stars who killed themselves?

"Megan Leigh. And Cal Jammer. I did a lot of scenes with him.

"Are you trying to figure out what to ask me so I will put my foot in my mouth again? I'll probably never get any more work after this interview.

"Four things I try to live by: I try not to lie, cheat, steal or gossip."

Which Side Are You On? The Panty Lines Are Drawn

Chaim Amalek writes from New York:

Susie Bright - Traitor To Her Orientation?

From Salon 1997 :

Bright's own sexual banquet has been a multi-course affair. After shaking off the chains of Catholic school indoctrination, Bright ended up in San Francisco in the early '80s, where she fell into the sex toy business and the world of avant-garde lesbian erotica and journalism.

In 1984, Bright became the chief editor of On Our Backs, the pioneering magazine "for the adventurous lesbian." She later became a porn critic for Penthouse's Forum magazine and the editor of the annual "Best American Erotica" book series, as well as a "sex consultant" and collaborator on such films as "Erotique" and "Bound."

In 1995, Bright moved to Santa Cruz, Calif., where she teaches "The Politics of Sexual Representation" -- or "Porn 101," as she calls it -- at the University of California campus there.

Bright, who is 39, lives with her 6-year-old daughter, Aretha, and her long-time companion, whom many are surprised to discover is a man, Jon Bailiff.

Rob Spallone vs Guenther of Lowdown Productions

Guenther emails Duke:

If you want you can call Rob and confirm with him that we and he agreed to settle the matter very soon agreeably for both parties...and can you take the story off the site? We just want to continue where we left off without any further irritations...

I get a call back from Rob Spallone at 5:30 p.m.

Duke: "Did you settle with Guenther?"

Rob: "Who told you that?"

Duke: "Guenther."

Rob: "He never spoke to us. There's no agreement about anything. If he wants it to stop, he can pay $5000. Delores is not giving him the music. Nobody is giving him the releases. He screwed my credit. It's going to cost him. He's not a man of his word. He wanted to buy me out of the warehouse. I left the warehouse. They asked for all the movies. I gave them all the movies. He can write anything he wants on the Internet. He didn't talk to me. He wasn't man enough to talk to me."

Revitalizing Porn

Chico Wanker Wang writes on AdultDVDTalk.com in reply to director Guy Capo:

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but all I'm getting from your post is a my-way-or-the-highway, I'm-here-to-revolutionize-porno horsesh-t I hear from people time and time again who have no clue about the business side of things from a distributor and supply & demand standpoint. All the distributor's care about is one thing: When I buy something from a company, will the stores carry it and sell it? Or better yet, if I don't buy from the company, will my buyers purchase it from another distributor because demand is so great?

Here's a little clue: It's the logo that sells. The branding of the company. Even if I think I'm a good director doesn't mean jacksh-t to the average Joe who buys my videos. They look at the brand. Sure, a few scant people may look at my name on the box and purchase it, but overall it's the company's logo and their reputation that creates demand. If I went to Fat Dog tomorrow, guess what? I will sell Fat Dog's measly numbers. That's a fact.

I don't have delusion's of grandeur that I'm so important that it's my name that sells. It may help, but it doesn't in the overall grand scheme of things. And neither do you nor anyone else once a company is established. So the best thing for you to do, if I can give you advice like you've given us, is to create movies that will 'revolutionize' porno to the point it sells so well people will flock to your way of thinking, however vague it may be. After all, I suppose you are the true artist in a world of the cookie cutter bullsh-t director.

One thing I learned when I was at Film School "honing my writing, directing, and filmmaking skills" is that change comes from within, generally from those who take chances with rich creativity radically altering the way we look at things. Change will come. That's inevitable. But guess what? Sex is sex is sex is sex ... the lone jackoff still has to be able stroke to it otherwise it's absolutely worthless regardless of what anyone says.

James DiGiorgio writes:

this business is, and always has been, distributor-driven. no offense to the many fans who participate in this site, but for the most part, your opinions don't matter. the jizz biz is NOT a true, consumer-driven industry. it should be, but it's not. perhaps when more buyers begin reading fan-based sites like this one--assuming innovation is something the fans truly want to see and they vocalize that desire in their commentaries--and the buyers/distributors come to believe innovation equals profits, then you'll see some innovative changes; and they'll be mandated by the distributors, whether we're talking pieces or cable sales. do you guys really believe cookie-cutter formulas are so common because there's only a very, very few--new or old--who are capable of doing anything that's unique or different?

His mom was warned about this two years ago.

It's not the first time Mike has been charged with this crime. He's in jail now.

The FBI was looking for him.

How Will Porn Be Revitalized?

2Big writes:

Drawing on Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, we can say that the porn industry went through a series of Copernican Revolution over the past 30 years or so. For example, the shift from porn theaters to video tapes. Or, the emergence of Gonzo, people like Ed Powers, Max Hardcore, etc.

These revolutions usually happen when the old stuff is played out and stagnant. I think we are at such a point now. The current porn output is boring as hell: same old same old. What will be next big thing in porn?

James DiGiorgio writes:

the industry is splitting in two...if it hasn't already done so. the majority of companies will continue to produce all-sex/gonzo content. in order to compete, they will have to find the hottest girls willing to participate in freakier and more circus-like content. production values in most of this sh-t will decline--if it can decline any further. this will represent the bottom of the market with more and more producers competing with more and more other producers for the same market share. many of these producers will flourish, but at the same time just as many will fall on their faces. they will continue spending less and less on their productions and will invent newer and newer ways to exploit the same content. for instance, two movies with five scenes each equals ten blowjobs which will be released as a new BJ title. this is what's going on already. it's like the pork industry who has found so many ways to make revenue off of every f-cking ounce of every f-cking pig.

the other half (and I don't say "half" to mean 50% of the companies, but "half" in terms of the rest of them), will exploit the feature, feature-like, and soft-core markets. these markets require better production values, greater production costs, and more expertise in making them. currently, cable outlets and foreign cable buyers are becoming more and more selective in what they're willing to purchase. you've probably heard about charge-backs killing a lot of the internet guys? well, that's happening in the pay-per-view and "soft" markets as well. it's becoming harder and harder to sell an all-sex/gonzo tape to cable simply because it has a "soft" version. they want more for their money-- better camera work, lighting, sound, stories, etc. since so many directors and producers in the all-sex/gonzo markets don't have the skills to make product that meets the ever-more demanding criteria of cable and pay-per-view buyers, they will be unable and/or unwilling to risk their declining budgets on this sort of fare. i look for many more opportunities in the soft markets... many of them growing even softer as evidenced by late-night on Showtime and DirecTV and elsewhere. In these productions no one's actually f-cking, much less f-cking in the ass and that sort of thing. this will lure some truly hot talent who will be willing to get naked and press skin, even though they won't actually f-ck.

Director Guy Capo writes:

Distributor integrity...The distributors make a concious decision to stop buying crap, no matter how well disguised it's recycled condition is, nor how cheaply it's being offered. Poor production values, make-me-sick carnival acts and freakshows, mindless cookie-cutter methods, and amateur hour productions are no longer tolerated...They simply won't be bought by a new breed of distributors who have a true desire to raise the quality of the marketplace. The companies with the most integrity survive, and the weak ones die off...reducing "Porn Valley" to "Nudieville" in about a 90 day time period. The companies with the best productions, more than happy to produce more, sell more, and expand their marketplace, will fill any and all gaps on the store shelves with a better quality version of what was available before...Hence, the marketplace never suffers a drought...God knows, it's supersturated itself to the point where NO REPLACEMENTS are even needed at all.

Will the prices go up? Maybe...This is where my lack of experience works against me. Perhaps the companies that survive the natural attrition will be able to keep distributor costs the same, while making it up in new volume. Maybe the cost to the consumer will still have to go up by $5, but I think this thread proves that a mild increase in retail price would be worth the improvements seen in the end-product.

Ultimately, "Nudieville" hits a growth spurt, another GOLDEN AGE, if you will, and becomes a haven for budding artists who bring more to the table than the current motley crew can keep up with. These are visionary people who understand that competing in the new marketplace means being more professional, not more amateur. Amateur is so 90's...When will porn outgrow it? I know "gonzo" porn is the original "reality TV"...this industry started a billion dollar approach to entertainment a full decade before mainstream caught on...Isn't it time we move on now ouselves?

Final word...The distributors hold all the power. Until they understand that you can make more money selling less product with greater value, we will all continue to suffer through this horrible cycle we are in. Problem is, most distributors care not for the product, consumers, or integrity of the business at all, and simply want the lowest cost per unit you can give them. In their eyes, the consumer will pick from whatever is on the shelves, regardless of quality, integrity, or value. But value is something that is created by the producers, and justified by the increase in quality. Value isn't about price...it's about quality.

Chico "Wanker" Wang replies:

Won't ever happen, Guy. Distributors in general are not concerned about raising the quality of their product. Rather they are concerned about raising the quantity of their profits. Completely understandable in a market where it's all a number's game. Without those $2 - $3 cheap tapes marked up 500%, a bookstore cannot survive. After all, are they only going to sell $49.95 new DVDs from premium companies? Distributors buy based on demand not perceived quality.

In nearly every scene I see (and I only watch gonzo), the scene starts either with the girl walking up stairs, and/or standing with her ass in a highly gluteus exaggerated position, and/or some stupid interview consisting of (your name, your age, what are you here for), and/or some stupid played out set up we've seen a million times and/or a girl introduces herself while stripping talking about how horny she is. I won't name names but sometimes I get bored by the same thing over and over again.

I did a test with a handful of DVDs sometime ago. We tried to figure out who the director of the video was. And we couldn't do it. If you cannot tell stylistically or personality-wise who directed the video, the video better have some super hot girls who are pushing the boundaries of their sexuality otherwise you're gonna have some serious problems. The consumer is going to consider it generic and that's the worst situation for yourself (the director) and your company. After all it's all about sex. And sex ain't going to change.

I watch so much cookie cutter stuff (and I'm just as guilty as the next director), that I get jaded too. I'm not trying to bust nuts but this is why I consider directors like Mike John, Joey Silvera, Jules Jordan, Jonni Darkko to be directors I love to watch. After all, though it doesn't work everytime, their works are inspired and confident.

I only truly respect the work of those I can't duplicate. I only truly respect the work of my peers who can do what I can't do whether it be the visuals, the vibe, or the mood. I could do without the other 90% which all looks the same.

It strikes me as funny when I get a DVD from a director who hawks it as an unbelievable piece of never-before-done porno when, upon watching it, I think of it as pure garbage. Cause if it isn't about the directing, then you better have unbelievable girls nobody else has. Otherwise, who cares?

Before I knew anything about the industry, the only movies I'd buy and jack off to were Leisure Time, Overtime, and Vivid comps. Why? Cause I got 4 hours of f-cking to flog the dolphin with for $10. I was too poor/cheap to buy anything else (I never rented). And it worked. sh-t, if I had more money, I simply would've bought more comps. Most people out there could care less about the technical merits of the video. They just want something to jerk off to. Most of the people there aren't porn fanatics.

James DiGiorgio writes:

For the most part, the ONLY new and/or emerging technologies porn is insterested in embracing are those that either cut costs or become required to use. A few examples:

DV vs. analog cameras (broadcast quality video from a miniDV camera that cost a fraction of the purchase price of an analog camera yielding similar quality and requiring the operating skills of a monkey)

DVD (everything for less--replicating, artwork, warehousing, storage, shipping)

Non-Linear Editing systems (quick and easy editing on systems that now cost a fraction of what comparable linear systems and earlier NLE systems cost with minimal learning curve)

Hi-Def (soon to be a requirement of pay-per-view and cable broadcasters)

Melissa Lauren: 'I don't understand what's the big deal with the word whore'

From XXXPorntalk.com:

By definition, a whore is a girl that f---s for money. That s what we do in porn, no need to call us actresses. I ve never seen anyone acting good in porn. Come on, lets call a horse a horse. And a whore's a whore. I'm one. And every girl should be proud of being a whore.

Nautica Thorn Interview

MrWeb@MrWebReview.com writes:

WASHINGTON, DC (AUG. 31, 2004) -- Adult star Nautica Thorn is well on her way to porn superstardom with a regular weekly show on Spice TV and guest spots on Playboy TV.

She's been the award-winning star of several hot films, including Sakura Tales 3 and Invasion, directed by Evil Angel's Jules Jordan.

Doing what she said was one of her first and most in depth interviews, Nautica Thorn talked with mrwebreview.com about liking girls on film more than guys and growing up on Asia Carrera films. The entire interview is available here.

A few excerpts:

Q. Have you been surprised at how well received you've been in this industry and how quickly you've become a sought after performer?

"Yeah I am. I don't know. When I went back home in Hawaii, people knew who I was and I was kind of freaked out. I couldn't really react because I had my parents with me. I walked in the mall and people were whispering."

Q. I have never seen you do anal. Why? Is that in your future?

"I'm thinking about it. It's either going to be exclusive on my website, which is what I'm going for. I tried it in my personal life and it just killed me. I was really drunk. He put it in and it really hurts. No sh-t on the couch so that was good. I'm very clean person down there."

Q. Think Kobe did it?

"No I don't. Kobe has a really pretty wife and he can get any ass, so I don't think he would have to rape a girl. I can see where his cock could've been really big and stretched her, I can see that."

Q. Anything scare you about the industry?

"Just the diseases. That would scare me. In this industry some people do make up false tests. My pussy is very sensitive and doesn't like condoms. I have reactions to them. That wouldn't' work. So I guess that's good for the guys, huh?"

JD writes: "Nautica Thorn is easily the most beautiful chick in porn today. And those tits - perfect! I didn't like her in any of the RLD stuff I saw clips of (I just don't like much of what they do over there) but she is excellent in the Teens for Cash scene she did. If you like her at all, I urge you to see this shoot - she takes on the two older pervs at once and, although she overdoes the "little girl talk", it is a very hot scene."

A Star Is Porn

Dan Ackman writes for the Wall Street Journal:

In 2000, Mr. Grdina and Ms. Jameson started Club Jenna Inc., a company that produces videos and Web sites as well as managing the Web sites for other adult stars. Not the types to sell and tell, they won't say what the business makes. But Mr. Grdina does claim that they sign up 500 new members every day. Members pay anywhere from $8.50 to $35 a month to view videos, and more to purchase merchandise. The company also distributes films on video and DVD. Mr. Grdina says that Ms. Jameson's movies (in which he now co-stars) sell 100,000 copies on average, much more than the run-of-the-mill adult film, which does well to sell 5,000. (On the other hand, such films might be shot in a single day. Ms. Jameson's recent productions, according to Mr. Grdina, took as much as 12 days to film.)

Ms. Jameson's individual star is rising as her industry sinks into the twilight of porn's age of innocence. Icons of an earlier era like Bob Guccione and Al Goldstein have fallen on hard times. Mr. Guccione, the founder of Penthouse, has lost his Manhattan townhouse and his Hudson River mansion to creditors. Mr. Goldstein, once the publisher of Screw, is on probation and is reportedly penniless.

While the Internet was supposed to usher in a heyday for pornographers, in fact it has driven the price of still pictures of naked people to historic lows. This trend has made it harder for even Hugh Hefner to make a buck: Playboy Enterprises hasn't earned a profit since 1998, and its share price has been cut in half in the past year.

The Plight of the Porno Publicist

Carly Milne writes on her site pornblography.com:

August was one of those trying, challenging months that made me wonder what sins I'd committed in a past life to have to go through what I was going through. Hell, at one point I was starting to wonder what sins I'd committed in this life to make me have to endure such trials. It started out with a trying day. I told myself tomorrow would be better, but soon I was expanding that timeline to assuming the following week would make it all go away. One week turned into two, and by week three I understood that this would last the full month no matter what I tried. The best laid plans failed. Communication was misconstrued and ignored. People hurled threats and insults at me that made me both lash out and retreat depending on the day or time of day. I dealt with too many ugly people. Not ugly in appearance, but ugly in persona. Slowly I became more and more drained as the days wore on. I'm trying to remember specifics, but they all seem so distant to me now thanks to long hours and countless projects on the go.

I'm closing the door on my August. The chapter has been written, but I want to burn it and move on to the next rather than rewrite.

Hollywood Interracial

Speck Snyder writes on RAME:

I just saw that film ''TRAFFIC'', from a couple years ago,on cable. This was a big hit,and received many good reviews. Michael Douglas' character has a daughter, that becomes a drug addict. She becomes so addicted,that in one unexpected scene,she is letting this black guy f-ck her lily white pussy,to get her drugs. My dick instantly got hard. This brotha was slinging dick to her proper.Anyway this got me thinking. Does anyone know of any other mainstream films,that actually include interracial sex scenes.Monsters Ball was one, Can you think of any others?

Count Orrlock writes:

Goliath are unreliable, think about shopping elsewhere...

Kyle writes on RAME:

I had three movies on backorder with them from the past six months. Dirty Letters, St. X-Where #01, and Personal Touch 3.

Well, well, someone (Goliath) was bought out. New owners claim records of only one purchase, PT #3 (You pay up front with Goliath, they have walked with my money) ... even though the film is listed as available, I was simply given a refund credit without any offer to actually send the movie.

I can sympathize a tad with new ownership and the situation, but I basically got ripped and it would seem to me a new owner buying that franchise and business name would assume any and all outstanding debts. They bought Goliath. Therefore, I think it accurate to say I have been royally screwed. f-ck 'em, I won't hang on this, but I would think the IAFD would want to rethink from time to time who they take sponserships from, i.e. from companies that take your money and send no product, for whatever reason.

Jerk offs at Goliath, screw you. Choke on the $30, you've lost far more than that in the long run (I spend about $200 per month on porn movies, 80s classics).

Brown Bunny blowjob most likely fake

Boxflex writes on RAME:

First of all the clip available online is not of this movie. I am surprised how many people do not use their eyes and common sense and see the clip features another actress from the movie Guardami.

Anyway on to the Brown Bunny.... First of all this has to be the most boring movie ever made! I can't believe this moron got hollywood to finance this crap! The blowjob scene was shot with his pants open but unusually close to his dick. No one opens their pants to get a blow job them spends all that time making their fly does not open too much and their pants does not drop down a little. The dude spent half the time with his dick in a death grip that covers most of his dick then as soon as his hands moved Chloe quickly replaces his hands with hers. You never see his "dick" without the hands carefully holding it in place. This was a strap on so he had to keep his pants almost thightly closed to hide the harness and he also had to keep his hands on this fake dick so it did not start popping on and off his body in an un natural way. This guys has no respect for the audience trying to pass off a fake like that.

VH1 Interviews Kevin Blatt

For a new special on the Cameron Diaz topless S-M tape. KB, the former publicist for Red Light District's Paris Hilton tape, turned the interview into a Paris Hilton plug fest. He had all these posters for the DVD "One Night in Paris" on the walls behind him during the interview.

Lowdown Productions Sputters

Rob Spallone, a former partner in Lowdown Productions with Mike Davis and Guenther, leaves me a message: "Rob Spallone paid the [approximately $1800] American Express bill. Guenther backed out. The movies [four] are not to be released. They have Ron Sullivan on the movie boxes as keeper of records. Ron Sullivan did not sign a model release. Myself, Jim South and Jim jr, Bill Diehl, are in the movies. He does not have releases for us. Whoever is planning on buying and releasing these movies will have a problem because there are no releases and no keeper of records.

"I spoke to Guenther's partner Mike. Mike wants nothing to do with him. I feel bad for Mike. He lost a lot of money. I wish he would've listened to me. Guenther thinks he can make all kinds of deals.

"I just spoke with J. from Sin City who was trying to deal with Guenther. I told her the guy is full of it.

"He has to re-edit the movies. Take us out of them. Re-edit the boxes and art work. Take Ron Sullivan's name off.

"Everyone in the business knows that the most important thing in these movies is the paperwork so the government can't f--- with us. Guenther started a company and he can't get nothing right. He can't get a salesperson. Good luck."

I call Rob. "I spoke to J. yesterday at Sin City. She's not going to deal with Guenther. He's trying to sell the scenes. He says if he sells them, he'll pay off the bill [that Rob says Guenther agreed to pay weeks ago].

"J. didn't know nothing. She asked for a sign-off on the music. They called Delores (Ron Sullivan's wife). Delores didn't give them anything. It's not their music either.

"I spoke to Mike. He wants out. He lost $50,000. They were supposed to pay the bill. They didn't. Guenther takes the loss.

"I shot four [lesbian] scenes today. First scene was Nakita Kash and some brand new 40-year old."

Guenther emails:

I have to wonder why you print stuff on your site you know is not true...

1. Now I am the one who started the company? I was Mike's silent investor who brought me into the deal he wanted to make with Rob.

2. Mike only invested the 37,500 as I did initially which has been on this site a few times when we bought out Rob.Rob even quoted it.

3. Mike was the one who didn't want to pay off the last bill...I wanted to do it 2 weeks ago but ultimately couldn't force Mike to write any company checks...I would only do it out of my own pocket if I would walk with the movies which Mike and I are still discussing...which would amount to dissolving the company and split the assets.

4. Rob told me twice and Mike yesterday he doesn't even want to be in the movies anymore and he would prefer to not have the bill paid so he can withhold the couple of model releases he still owes as the producer of the movies.

Old vs New Movies, Stars?

Bridgette Monroe posts to TER:

My question is do you prefer the ladies and the movies now (gonzo) compared to say 10 years ago? And if so why? The reason I am asking is because Karina and I are starting our own production company and I want to know what the real porn fans want to see.. Also do you prefer the new girls to the older girls?

Fast Eddie writes:

I prefer the product from the mid-eighties to early ninties. The production values were generally higher, so the ladies had great clothes, make-up artists and hair-stylists to make them look super-hot. It raised the lady to that of a fantasy object. Not to mention the lighting and cinematography, which I also think were better.

These days I think the fantasy aspect has shifted away from how the girl looks to how extreme the sexual activities she's willing to perform. Where once it was the long red fingernails, the covergirl makeup and the 6" cum-f-ck-me heels that made guys drool for a particular woman, now it's the Ass-To-Mouth, DP's, gagging, double vaginals, et. al. that most guys will never experience in real life that gets their attention.

I'd bet that if Jenna Jameson came along today instead of when she did, she'd never reach the almost-mainstream celebrity status she has. Plus, back then condoms were a rarity, which as has been demonstrated in a recent post here is something most guys really prefer.

As to my preference for the pornstars from that era vs. the current crop, I prefer the old-school ladies for mostly the same reasons as above. Plus, I think because they were fantasized about because of their looks, I believe they were more aware of how they appeared on film. Amber Lynn always impressed me as someone who knew exactly how to position her body to make the most of the camera angle... for example, while getting f-cked missionary-style she always pointed her toes to make her calves and butt look their best. Your buddy Selena Steele is another good example of someone who always knew where the camera was.

I used to say I hated gonzo, but in retrospect, that's not entirely true. John Stagliano and John Leslie have done a lot of quality work that could be considered gonzo. I think the product being produced today that combines the best of both worlds is the stuff from Private. While not as extreme as Rob Black's kind of porn, it's certainly a lot nastier than most big-budget studios like Wicked and Vivid, but with at the very least the same production values and ladies as hot or hotter than theirs.

What's the deal with a director who hires a big-busted pornstar and then films the whole scene with her lying on her stomach getting boffed doggie style??? What's the sense of that? I swear to God, I could direct porn better than 90% of the guys who are doing it for a living... and so could most real fans. I think the average porn fan, since it's something he enjoys, knows what turns a guy on much better than a guy who sees himself as a failed mainstream director, doing porn to make a buck but filled with bitterness. Or even worse, a guy who thinks of himself as an "auteur" and tries to get artsy-fartsy with a f-ck film.

Andrew Blake started out making super hot porn vids, (Night Trips, Hidden Obsessions) but then got a swelled head and degenerated into music-video syyle fetish stuff that appeals to a limited audience.

Bridgette Monroe writes: "Eddie, I love what you wrote and I think it would be great to so some features like the old ones and do my gonzo the way Seyomore did his. I don't want violence in my movies. I do want anal and fun stuff like that but make to where it looks like the girls really like it. I hate seeing a girl in pain. It does not turn me on."

Feel Jesse Jane

Mike South writes:

Robbie Williams writes about it in his new book "Feel", he begs an unnamed girl for onscreen sex while shooting his music video, where he reportedly is in bed with two porn stars. Well here's the scoop it was one porn star, and I have it from very reliable sources that the porn star was none other than Jesse Jane, the other girl was an unknown. The music video was shot about a year and a half ago.

Porn Star Flakes

James DiGiorgio writes:

I heard Bridgett Kerkove has a rule: The girl is five minutes late and she's fired. Good for you, BK. You have the right idea.

Last week I was shooting (two scenes booked) and the first girl flaked and then her replacement flaked. Yesterday, out of 4 girls booked, two flaked and had to be replaced. The result? I worked a 16 hour day that should have been a ten hour day. Last week I spent my entire f-cking day on a set to shoot one f-cking scene. and got paid for one f-cking scene! The company I worked for was paying $100 an hour for the location. We spent four hours waiting for no-shows. That's $400 down the tube in addition to the time wasted. I'm going to start publishing a flake list. I've had it.

The pic is Lexi Mathews. She's back. She's a cute as ever. She didn't flake.

Search Engine Traffic

From JustTraffic:

There's two ways to attack a problem--from the front and from everywhere else. When it comes to traffic generation, if you have the money and the resources, you can launch a full frontal assault traffic generation campaign through the USUAL SUSPECTS of traffic generation:

Paid advertising
Affiliate programs
PPC search engines
Costly SEO campaigns (specially for heavily saturated keywords and search terms)
Branding campaigns
etc etc

However if you don't have money but have a lot of time and dedication, you can attack the traffic problem from the backdoor. Also, if you HAVE money but don't like wasting it on saturated traffic generation schemes, you can also try backdoor approaches.

The backdoor approach I write about today is the use of ESOTERIC undersaturated keywords.
Specifically, building TONS of pages that cater to information that is esoteric (ie., not highly searched but still searched by surfers). A short list of esoteric topics are:

obscure celebrities
obscure musicians
little known historical sources
out of print books
etc etc

These items all share the same attribute--they are sought by SOME people SOME of the time. By compiling a MASSIVE list of these pages and rewriting/adding on to/updating/indexing existing OBSCURE sites that cater to these topics, you can easily create a RIVER of traffic.

When dealing with this type of traffic, make sure you advertise a HUB interest site in all your obscure pages. From this HUG site, filter by age/age restrictions, and then upsell them to your adult dating/gambling/adult sites.

Search engine traffic flows from the surfers' interest. Shoot for the easy battles--the little streams of traffic and aggregate this to a HUGE MIX of traffic.

All it takes is time, motivation, and dedication. You CAN do it. You can also contact www.webmasterlabor.com for cheap affordable text and support services to help you process HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of such pages.

12 Questions With Jesse Jane

8. What are three things would you like to see changed (be it positive or negative) in this industry, tomorrow, a week from now, or a year down the road?

Jesse Jane: I would like to see it more mainstream, classier and higher budget with better quality films. I would like it not to have such a negative connotation / association and for it to be more accepted.

Ranking The Modeling Agencies

Sportswami writes:

Well since I am trying not to insult anyone yet got tons of pent up agression (cutting grass with a pissy lawnmower will do that to you.) thought I would give my two cents on the Modeling Agencies that I have had either the pleasure or displeasure of dealing with. (Note; World Modeling and Nasty Modeling are not on this as I have yet to deal with them more than once)

LA Direct Models: Perhaps overall the best modeling agency in the biz right now. And not just because they are my sponsor... they got their sh-t together. You got the business duo in Derek and Mike Sullivan who deal with the gigs, and getting the girls their on time. And Hannah is great at getting the young ladies press, smothing over problems with media and owners. Add to the fact the fact they have over 60 female models (Kami, Ariana Jollee, Charlie Laine, Shy Love, Jezebelle Bond, Jamie Brooks, and Roxy Jezel to name a few) just gives them a lot of pull.

Spiegler Girls: Love him or hate him, he gets his girls work and makes sure they are not flaking or getting lost. Has some top quality talent (Kimberly Kane, Katja Kassin, Lola, Melissa Lauren and Jazzmine) and is more geared towards getting the girls work than publicity. Still a bulldog to work for or against and give him credit for doing a good job.

ASS INC: Joey Serio gives the gals the service of having their Internet site built by the company and run by the company for free. While he mainly deals with either very young talent or unknown talent, he focuses on getting the girls known and is very reliable from what I have heard from promoters.

Cherry Modeling: Not big on them at all, some of the women they promote on their site are not with the company at all, and they never get their ladies publicity. Probably one of the worst to deal with of all time.

Modelgig: With AMADude, at least calls were returned even if things never panned out. Now half the talent nevers hear from this ownership, they don't return phone calls to the press, and most gals who are on the site never get work via them.

Cam Smith Modeling: Good agency to deal with, but basically deals with only g/g workers. Still very professional from what I have heard from some people, others say he plays favorites with the girls. I have had no problem with him as he is reliable when I deal with him.

Liberty Network: No Comment.

Exotic Star Models: They seem very cool to deal with, though some in the biz have compalined to me that they talk bad about other agencies. Either way they have competent women in Stacy V, Dawn and Shelby runing the show.

Basically if I were recomending talent about an agent my list would go like this 1) LA Direct 2) ASS Inc 3) Spiegler 4) Exotic Star Models The other two I mentioned I wouldn't even waste my damn breath with. And Cam Smith is strictly I believe a g/g management.

New Magazines for Black Men Proudly Redefine the Pinup

From The NYT:

In the pages of King, a bimonthly men's magazine for the rims, bling and sneakers set, one thing is prized more than a taut waistline and a pretty face, shapely legs or a perky bosom: a large behind.

"That's what our readers have come to expect from us," said Datwon Thomas, King's editor since it began publishing three years ago. "They want to see the thick girls, the girls with " Mr. Thomas, a 29-year-old married father of two, stammered here, searching for a description that would work in the pages of a family newspaper, "with, you know, a big backside."

Don Lemmon, Asia Carrera Returning To Mainland

Don Lemmon writes: Living it up over here with the ever so prego wife. We are moving back though. After researching educational standards here, we can't send our child to school on the islands. We all know Asia is a Mensa brianiac and had gifted schooling, well, I was one of those wasted minds in the regular system. I want, so does she, the best and it isn't offered here. We will miss it, but we gotta do what we gotta do, eh?

New York Times Bestows "Dr" On Sharon Mitchell

No longer do you need to get your PhD out of an ad in Rolling Stone. Nick Madigan at The New York Times will bestow one upon you.

I emailed him: "Why on earth do you call her Dr Mitchell and why on earth do you say she earned a PhD in human sexuality? Do you have any idea where she got her "PhD" from? She does not even have a BA..."

He replied: "People who earn Phd's carry the honorific "Dr." It's as simple as that."

Even if they buy them from Rolling Stone? Even if they come from a non-accredited institution?

Dr. Phil Feathers writes:

You know it's bullsh-t title. I know it's a bullsh-t title. Still, people who you think would know better are fooled by a lab coat. Too bad nobody ever takes the time to ask the good doctor a few simple questions like:

1. Did you have to pass the Graduate Records Exam to enter your Ph.D. program?
2. Did you write a dissertation? Was it published?
3. Was your dissertation reviewed by an examining committee?
4. Did your professors hold doctorate degrees from accredited universities?
5. Did you ever write a dissertation proposal?
6. Where can one view your dissertation?
7. Did you have to defend your dissertation?

Cost of having sex with a Girlfriend Calculator

How many hours do you spend having stupid conversations with your GF (per week)?

How many hours do you spend watching TV shows with her you would rather not watch (per week)?

How many hours do you spend doing other stupid things with her you would rather not do (per week)?

I can remember my last blowjob like it was yesterday

Actually it was six years ago the day before I got married. Sex then was four to five times a week. Now I have a four year old son who sleeps in my bed with my wife more nights a week than I do. Sex now maybe once a month. Triple that for vacation sex. I have noticed that the rate goes up for a short period of time but drops off quickly when large purchases are made (house, Landrover, shopping sprees, new floors, etc). I am thirty eight, not happy, and slowly methodically plotting my way out. I always love the look in the eyes of my friends who say that won't happen to them.

My wife was a frigid, shriveled bitch. Before we were married, we had plenty of sex, but as soon as we passed the six month mark after our wedding, she stopped being interested. My wife only f-cks when she "feels sexy." Translation: when I give her jewellery. She is just a withered old bag at the age of 35.

My wife reached a point where she only uses sex to get something, and she doesn't happen to want anything at the moment.

On Having Standards At Work

Porn star Keri Windsor: "When I'm having sex I'm in my most vulnerable state. I'm naked, and I just don't see how I can be anybody else other than who I am. So when it comes to sex, I have sex with them how I would have sex with them at home, as long as the person I'm with, which is very important, to pick somebody whom you have a sexual attraction to or that you have a personality attraction to like their sense of humor, somebody who makes you laugh, who you flirt with. I will never have sex with anybody I don't want to have sex with."

I know Jesse Jane is down to earth, but "frequent farts"?

Felicia Fox points out graph two of the press release:

Digital Playground, determined to differentiate Jesse's site from the plethora of adult sites, offers members exclusive photo and video content from Jesse's personal and professional life, including detailed looks at Jesse behind-the-scenes. Additionally, Jesse will make frequent farts during her scheduled chat time; she will interact with her fans via a live video stream instead of the standard typed interaction offered on other sites. In an effort to keep the site personal and real, Jesse will update her diary daily and personally respond to her email.

How To Make Love Like A Porn Star

Mike South writes:

A few funny quotes of the Israeli Olympic commentators

Alex writes on GFY: The Israeli 1st channel is known for making a lot of "Bush type" quotes, and here are a few I translated for you: Opening Ceremony:

"A great delegation from Argentina with the soccer team which won the Copa America" - The commentator forgets that Brazil won the Copa America

"Here comes Brazil... with their soccer team" - Commentator forgets the Brazilian soccer team didn't make it to the Olympic games.

"A small countryin Africa with 160,000 citizens" - Commentator doesn't realize there are actually 16 million citizens in Ivory Coast

"Looks like there are a lot of Greek fans in the stadium" - Yael Arad, Female commentator

Judo:

"Arik is very static, except for when he moves" - Yael Arad explains the complexity of judo.

"Now only 2 minutes left in the fight, even less, 2 and a half minutes"

How to block traffic from Israel

9th US Circuit Court Case Ruling Could Impact Adult Webmasters

In a decision that could expose U.S.-based Web sites to free speech laws of other nations, a federal appeals court found that Yahoo could not escape legal action in France for violating a French ban on the sale of Nazi-related items.

A divided panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that U.S. courts did not have blanket power to block foreign countries from enforcing their laws against Web sites such as Yahoo. It was the latest chapter in a case that has tested Internet free speech rights in unsettled legal terrain.

KRL writes on GFY: Basically this decision exposes everyone operating web sites in the US to the Internet laws of foreign nations. Not a good court decision for our sector especially.

Clive 'Barely Legal' McLean Battles Cancer

Mike Albo writes on AdultStarsNews: "Just received the following from an LFP insider: "The cancer's in his brain and on his liver and one kidney...his motor skills are already damaged. I heard that Erica [Clive's wife] is asking people 'to think positive and give back positive love to the universe so he can survive.' They're also investigating homeopathic and herbal treatments."

Sad Ginger Lynn Story

Mike writes on RAME:

Ignoring the potentially-sad "Hedgehog Gate" story for a moment... ..doesn't she sound just a little crazy about all the other stuff?

Crazy for a 40-yr-old porn chick, I mean. Every time we hear from her it seems like she's droning on about the past, about Traci Lords, about her about-to-explode acting career before the busts, etc. Courtney Love sounds lucid in comparison. And is she really going to premieres with her son? I didn't see her passing by Joan & Melissa, but my eyesight is poor.

I'm not picking on her- I know being a porn chick gets you a "pass" on crazy behavior, but come on! I never listened to this ksex sh-t because frankly it doesn't sound too exciting. Guess I've been missing out. Amber Lynn and Ginger Lynn on radio... I can't imagine the thrills. Does anybody really listen to this stuff? Aren't there any starlets getting f-cked up on Vicodin or something? Why not just put on a radio show about me updating my Quicken categories?

Back to the Hedgehog... can someone fill me in on the 20 or so women he allegedly raped? Is this a story that's been going around for years? I'm not old-porn-savvy, so I don't have a clue. What would the cast of "The Surreal Life" have to say about this?

Distressing evidence of the Coarsening of American Culture

Mickey Kaus drove from Los Angeles to New York for the Republican convention:

Crappiest Interstate Experience: Missouri, the perennial winner. Choppy, narrow highway flanked by tacky commerical billboards. Some of them--e.g. "Got Bra Problems?" or "Yucko's Poop Scoop Service"--may have been subtle, NEA-funded performance art.

Distressing evidence of the Coarsening of American Culture I: Even big Interstate highways are no longer decent, family-friendly places, thanks to the proliferation of giant lighted signs advertising the "Adult" and "XXX" bookstores along the side of the road in several Heartland states. "Mom, what does three X-es mean?"

Distressing evidence of the Coarsening of American Culture II: Country music, traditionally thought to be on the right-wing side of the culture war, has begun to incorporate hip hop elements--or, rather, to self-consciously and somewhat pathetically ape the corrosive, materialistic playa' machismo of the imagined ghetto while pretending to maintain an adversarial stance.

Haley River's Real Tickling

I just got back from a half-hour shoot for www.realtickling.com where a very naughty doctor and nurse spent half an hour tickling me from head to toe and using a vibrator on me until I came. The thing is, I was strapped down completely: arms, legs, torso. And they found my super ticklish spot, which really got me. They said they never had a patient like me before. You see, I am SOOOO ticklish that I scream and cry, I just can't take it!!! Somehow I still enjoyed the whole process. There is a good feeling that comes with being totally exhausted...

Where is your super ticklish spot?

Well...other than inside my thighs, my stomach has got to be my most ticklish spot. I LOVE having my feet tickled. It makes me relax, whereas having my stomach tickled makes me tense up and scream!

The Brown Bunny

David Poland writes:

My short review of the "rediscovery" of The Brown Bunny has been the same since last year. People won't wait 120 minutes for a blow job. People will wait 90 minutes for a blow job and will spend their idle time waiting doing the work of the alleged filmmaker.

Here is my recommendation. Take your $20 for tickets and $15 for concessions and take your date to a better dinner than you had planned. Get her to perform oral sex on you. Perform oral sex on her. Engage in vigorous intercourse. When you're done, talk about your first love or your first pet. Cry if you can. Send Vinnie a thank you note. Believe me. that time will be far better spent and you will take away far more meaningful memories.

KB's Line of the Night

Kevin Blatt writes on GFY:

Well once again I got in a bit of a drunken stupor and had a lot of hot chicks around me- When I was talking to some of the cutest little 22 yr old chicks, a hot , smoking girl entered the room and caught my eye. She was 26 college educated, and really sharp She began to tell me how many degrees she had, what Law School she is attending currently.... She even knew where Najaf is.. impressive, she watches the news...

I kept glancing over at the young chicks I was speaking to earlier and she says to me " I see you checkin' those girls out, don't you like me?" I then replied... " I am really sorry, but smart chicks are like Kryptonite to me baby" then excused myself. So how did I end up? I am sitting here drunk typing to you lonely morons aren't I? sometimes you win, sometimes you lose... damn, it's Saturday and no pussy.

Free Speech Coalition Weighs in on New 2257 Regulations

Friday August 27, 2:01 pm ET

CHATSWORTH, Calif., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to Attorney General John Ashcroft's announcement in June that the U.S.C. Title 18, Section 2257 adult material record-keeping and labeling law is being expanded to include the Internet, Free Speech Coalition has submitted comments to express our concerns about the new regulations and their application to this new medium.

Drafted primarily by Board of Directors' member and First Amendment attorney Reed Lee, with assistance from Board Chairman Jeffrey J. Douglas, the 23-page document outlines in detail the constitutional infirmities and practical difficulties in the proposed regulations.

Beginning with the impropriety and unfairness of a retroactive effective date for the proposed rules, Lee outlines seven main points in making the argument that these new policies are unjustly burdensome on protected expression and on members of FSC who produce it.

One of the key issues as these regulations apply to the Internet is the definition of a "producer" of content and the requirement that "secondary producers" also keep original records. As Lee points out, those who are not a primary producer should not be required to keep extensive records, particularly since this issue of secondary producers has already been litigated in Sundance Associates, Inc. Reno, and was decided contrary to these rules.

On a constitutional note, Lee says, "the volume and complexity of those records will very likely chill the willingness of many to republish material, thus limiting the reach of constitutionally protected expression." The record-keeping requirements themselves are described by Lee as "unclear and too burdensome." At the very least, he points out, records should be allowed in digital form as the massive paperwork anticipated by the regulations would overwhelm many smaller companies' ability to comply.

As drafted, the rules are less than clear on this point and also require that records be kept for an inordinate amount of time. Reflecting the concerns of smaller, individual Website owners, Lee also makes the important point that requiring the name and physical address of the custodian of records to be disclosed is a threat to privacy, and exposes producers to identity theft and stalkers.

Concerns about the propriety of inspections of records at the times and intervals specified in the new rules are also articulated and recommendations are included which would protect individual rights and clarify the intent of the requirements.

On Set With Rob Spallone

I drive up to Str8-Up Studios at 11a.m., Friday, August 27. Rob is talking loudly on his cell phone to German entrepreneur Guenther, who emailed me earlier today:

"The company was supposed to pay it as it was a company credit card and Mike is still evaluating his options...I never had a problem with paying this last bill...but I am not the only one making decisions regarding the situation."

Rob has given Guenther until Monday to pay the bill.

There have been no talent meetings at Str8-Up Studios for months. The last one was supposed to be in late June. It never happened. They were being organized by Mr. Marcus as a response to the HIV crisis.

Rob calls World Modeling. He speaks to Jim South.

Rob: "I want to speak to Envy."

Jim: "Her boyfriend is back in town."

Rob: "I know. I want to know how her sex was last night."

Rob turns to me. He asks me about the book I gave Ron Sullivan: The Producers. "What book does he have? How come he has a big yellow hardcover book when you only gave me a little white paper one?"

Duke: "Because he wrote free essays for me."

Envy comes on the line.

Rob: "How was it Envy? Are you walking funny today?"

Envy: "What are you talking about? No, I'm not walking funny."

Rob: "Does your jaw hurt? I just want to see how it was when your boyfriend came home."

Envy: "It was good."

Rob likes The Producers. "I like this one. I have his book on the side of my bed."

I hear New Beginnings is moving to a 60,000 square foot new office building in Sunland.

Rob's arm is infected from his latest tattoo. "I think I got bit by one of those mosquitos.

"I was at Jim South's yesterday. Remember that tall girl [from Germany] Essie? She called. She needed a ride. I thought she had left town. I had done her a favor a few weeks ago. A girl had borrowed her car and smacked it up.

"She needed a ride to AIM. She was in Hollywood. Jim called AIM to see if they had another station in Hollywood. AIM said, no problem. We'll send one of the drivers over to take her blood.

"Essie had bought a car. She was moving to New York. She got a boyfriend. She was going to sell the car. She was going back to Germany for a few days. She leaves it with this black guy. He lends it to a blonde who smacks it up. Two thousand dollars in damage. Lots of parking tickets.

"Essie comes back. She's at Jim South's. She's hysterical, crying. She's been back ten days already. They never told her the car had been in an accident. They kept saying they'd bring the car over and they never did. I call up. I found out what happened. The car had been towed and was at the pound. I gave her $200 to pay for that.

"I told the blonde, you come over at 6 p.m. with the $200 and we'll tell you Monday how much the parking tickets are. You get the car fixed. The car is still not finished. It's been three weeks.

"Randy Wright is under a contract with World Modeling. She came back into the business. Derek from LADirectmodels is trying to sign her."

Duke: "Rob, in your legal opinion, can you make a contract to..."

Rob: "F---? No. If I am her agent, she can't work outside of me.

"Imagine if you had a daughter or sister and they came to you and said, I'm in the porno business and I can't get out. What do you mean you can't get out? I signed a paper saying I'd do it for two years. Who'd you sign it with? Jesus Christ? Pope John Paul II?

"Why hasn't the day come when a father or brother or husband walked into a company and blew everybody away? That day is going to come.

"A girl runs away from home. She does porn. A father, uncle, brother sees the movie and flies out to California and kills the people."

"It'd make a good movie."

"Can I play the father?"

Rob turns to Kenny, "Are we shooting on 16-9?"

"Mr. Videographer."

"You like that."

Rob's Hollywood producer friend Michael is on set.

I meet Kara and John Nox. They've been together nine years, in porn three years. She's done 12 movies. She's tall blonde and busty. She's got a tiny tattoo above her butt. She has natural 36D breasts. She's a stripper.

Rob asks her how many times she's been with two black guys at once. "A couple of dozen," she replies.

Ron Sullivan addresses her: "You take charge. Fill them with a sense of shame and wonder. DPs are boring. They're a circus act. It's for the salesmen.

"I want to see two hard dicks at the same time."

Rob says the US Olympic gymnast who won a gold medal on a judges' error should give it back. Then he could be on the Wheaties box. Rob says he would give the medal back. He'd like to be on the Wheaties box.

"Every time I take my kids home, I want to be on the Amber Alert. I was returning them home. It was three minutes before they were due. I said, let's drive around and we'll be on the Amber Alert."

Mike Kane: "Why are you recording everything?"

Duke: "Because I love him."

Rob: "He's been following me for years. He dedicated his two books to me. And my mother and father."

Rob says he'd be willing to run into a mosque and blow it up in Iraq if the government would take care of all his people.

Mike to me: "What is such an intelligent, talented, I assume, handsome, erudite person doing taping you [Rob]?"

Rob: "He used four words I don't even know how to say."

Rob was going to play a mob guy in the Chet Baker Story [late white jazz trumpet player and vocalist]. He was going to slap Jim Carey. But the project went into turnaround.

In a park, a little kid grabbed Rob's arm and tried to pull off the tattoo.

"That's not a sticker," says the mom.

Do you like to pick up kids in parks, Rob?

"Yeah, and take them to never-never land."

Mike says anger management classes are helping Rob. Rob denies that.
