Problem With Playboy
Carrera writes on RAME: The problem with Playboy is they use so much of Vivid products and Vivid and and their contract starlets act as if minority men don't exist. I don't get the Playboy channel too often but when I do I usually see that midget Bobby Vitale in every movie. Then there are usuals like Tony Tedeschi, Randy Spears, Hershel Savage and Tice Bune.They would rather pull some of these guys out of the retirement home than hire the young talent like Stead and Marcus. When by some miracle a Marcus shows up its usually for a scene with a none contract slut and then you never see him again in the movie. Not only are black actors rare on Playboy TV, when they do appear they don't seem to have much speaking lines. They just show up for sex then they are gone. They need to be given lines to speak. I have not seen and any bm/wf scenes recently but I don't seen Playboy alot since in NY it has to be ordered on a nightly basis. I usually get spice.

Mr Chris Update
Mr Chris writes: Nothing TOO juicy - but another busy week here for VIDEOSTARS.COM first, I spent a few days (and unfortunately a NIN concert) ill with tonsilitis. I caught it while in LA just before Erotica LA so I had missed the show. In better news, I just purchased a sweet toy just in time for summer... 1956 porsche speedster convertible
I also shot "Marilyn" today. She is a favorite new performer of mine, and would surely be VERY popular in this biz if she lived in LA. Young, blonde, and energetic - I decided she was the perfect canvas for me to unveil my new temporary tatoos on some fun flesh to bounce. (today's camera schedule on a post it note) Mr. Chris' secret porn du jour. Marilyn was an excellent last minute substitution for me when my scheduled performer had to suddenly cancel. Nicole Sheridan was scheduled for VIDEOSTARS.COM this weekend but she was unable to make it so Marilyn got the scenes. Nicole has some big news she will be announcing very soon and you will all understand. Next this week is "Sunshine". She is an adorable 4' 10" thai beauty conveniently located here in Vegas. This month is packed with gorgeous young willing females - many more 'video virgins' are finding me every week.
Otherwise, I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again this year at
the upcoming July VSDA/AE convention here in Vegas. At 6'9" I am definitely
one of the tallest and easiest guys in porn to find. Im searching to
meet plenty of industry freelancers looking for work. I have 60+ scenes
in the can which need complete post production and duplication. And
as always, I am looking for new (female) VIDEO STARS - so if you are
interested in either just email me [mrchris@videostars.com]
Sex.com Sues Luke F-rd
From www.stunningcurves.com: We just posted the docket info, in the previous post, of the lawsuit against Luke F-rd (www.l-keford.com). The lawsuit comes from Stephen Cohen and Ynata Limited, formerly Ocean Fund International, Ltd., the company that owns Sex.Com. We just talked to Steve about the lawsuit and this is what he could tell us.
"Real simple, what’s happened is he has made some false statements and now he's got to face up for it."
"Our parent company used to be Ocean Fund International. It became Ynata Corporation and what has happened is Ynata Corporation and myself have sued Luke F-rd. He's made some outrageous statements that he failed to check out the truth of. Now he's going to have to pay the piper."
When asked what exactly Ford printed, Steve couldn't get into details. "Well I don't want to get into exactly what he said, because that’s part of the lawsuit. He was served today. He's got twenty days to answer and we're going to go forward with it. We're not going to stop. There's no settling on this. Sex.Com lost an advertiser and they've sued him for 50 million dollars. They're going after him and I'm going after him. The man doesn't have very much, but this will force him into bankruptcy."
Steve also mentioned that Luke was served through substituted services. "Most people in the press are protected. Your not protected if you make malicious statements that you fail to investigate and caused damage. If people want to do crazy things they should pay the penalties."
Steve also gave some info on Sex.Com. "Sex.com is the largest site on the Internet. We get anywhere between 185 to 195 million unique visits a day. We have servers in the United States. We actually have servers in most of the main centers around the world. Our main headquarters is in Tijuana Mexico where we maintain a full staff. We control a tremendous amount of Internet sites under a variety of names and we do everything from adult to non-adult. We own the largest ISP in Tijuana."
Steve sums up how he feels about this so far, "Most of the people in this industry are very hard working people. They don't need this kind of nonsense."
We are in the process of contacting Luke F-rd to get his reaction to this lawsuit. Make sure to check back often as this story unfolds.
Darren writes: Hey Luke. I have been reading your site for a few years now. I only thunk it was a matter of time before you got sued by someone with backbone AND money. But, it is Stephen Cohen from sex.com He has sued every mother f---er to hell and back. The truth is....the strong stood up to him and survived...the weak failed. Be strong. I would love to take over a domain that he could sue. I would plaster his ass against a wall. I am still shocked that no one has given him some good old American justice.....In other words, I am surprised he is still alive.
Cheers, Darren BTW. We own 5 VERY profitable porn sites and a hosting company too...6 years doing this now....We may not play with the big boys, but our profit levels smoke theirs, and we have a nicely padded bank account.:) I laugh at all these pr0n stars trying to make it on the net...hahah...I mean, we make more in a day then they make in a month....Bianca Trump could afford a reality spanking from us. :) Best of luck, though. If sex.com sued us I would welcome it. They are a joke.......Remember.....the strong have beat them.....

Andy Edmond
Ynotmasters.com owner Andy Edmond writes on Topniche.com: NOTICE TO ALL TOP NICHE WEBMASTERS: I'm tired of the personal attacks on me for doing nothing but promoting and adding resources into a good cause. I'm tired of personal attacks on Snoops and others that I respect for just being who they are as people. I'm tired of consistently having to defend actions that contribute to the industry on a whole. This is a sickness that I don't have the cure for. JMM from SunDown, Kevin Blatt from SunDown, Lee Noga from OnTheRopes - continue your personal campaign against those that are making an effort. Sit on the couch and throw tomatoes that those are doing what they can to help us all. Have fun doing it! I won't be here to see it anymore, cause it sickens me to my stomach.
I never proclaimed myself THE leader, I proclaimed myself as a believer in certain issues followed by large amounts of information and resources and told people what I believed. Never in my imagination did I feel that by saying what I've learned in my process of much research, or taking positive proactive steps towards industry-wide knowledge on issues would put me personally into hot water. I've taken major steps to clean my backyard in ways MANY others in my industry segment have not and I've gotten so much heat for those steps and sharing what I learned in the process... How ridiculous.
Henceforth, I am off the message board in regards to debating any of these issues. The have proven their zero value time and time again when it comes to ACTION rather than bulls---.
The past two days have proved that as a community we have not learned to speak constructively about issues that harm us all. We continue to beat ourselves up, and I'm convinced that I, and many others that are doing good, will continue to be beat up by the various factions and cliques with their own agendas (not the industry's) in ways that make civilized conversation look light years ahead of the pulse of this industry. If I take part on these boards, or if I don't, good people will still be beat up unfairly and inconsitently to community good.
My efforts will be broadcast through more civilized and matured channels of communication, such as the newly forming Adult Internet Trade Association, a structure and platform that allow good ideas to rise and bad ideas to fall - no matter where they come from or who's been working on what for years. A structure that allows for the community support of new resources and new ideas. One that forbids and prohibits personal attacks in the middle of honest discussion. One that is held in person rather than electronically so the "internet bravery" factor is limited as it needs to be. A place where consensus can be reached and where heated and hard conversation will actually have a result - versus here where there is only more and more fracturing of our industry into their own seperate cliques.
So, have fun guys... beat each other up... continue to beat me up. I'll be back working for the virtues of a nice new organization that in a few months will allow for those tired of message board politicks and those that really want to getting something MOVING in a certain consensus direction based on the honest discussion of ideas and philosophies. It will be a LOT harder to convince people of your "virtue" if there is a meeting held on an issue and you neglect to attend in person or if you don't have the same conviction there as you do here.
Vegas Lee, until the AITA is there and ready to provide the resources for a quarterly meeting on CP issues, with agendas for the community thought, run by robert's rules of order, where ideas and respected and attitudes are not... you have the floor, my man. I will be there on the panel in Vegas to share my ideas, as I did at the trade show - without the personal politicking attitude that I was confronted with from the audience. Hopefully I will be engaged on the ideas themselves, and not the people's perceptions of the popularity games we played in high school.
Rastafarley writes on Topniche.com: As someone who has been an observer and part-time participant in the adult industry for over 3 years, I feel Andy Edmond can be looked at as both a pioneer and a leader. What is distressing is his ability within a few short months to single handedly destroy the credibility and entrepreneurial opportunities for thousands within the industry. His lack of tack and professionalism in combating personal attacks leads people to believe he is neither a leader nor a wise businessperson. His opportunistic attacks, which he defends under the guise of rebutting those who seek to admonish him, are simply ways of diverting and contorting the truth. It is obvious to all that the Great "Nero" is threatened by and scared of the truth. The truth that he projects himself as the foremost authority for and voice of all adult webmasters. Webmasters should be insulted and hurt. His lies and attempts to deflect truths which are continually being revealed by those looking to make an honest dollar, again proves his inability to stand alone as the holy savior to webmasters. Ynot...Rick, was it worth it? Everyone has a voice and a right to proceed in business affairs in accordance with the law. Andy, why do you promote a site with recipes for illegal drugs? I don't get it and I don't get you.
Kevin Blatt writes: Andy I think I speak for everyone when I say this- Just shut the f--- up already! You have beaten a dead horse way past mutilation. There is no "conspiracy", there is no "hidden agenda". It's all about lies! You seem to have a great time shifting the blame all day yesterday, you are very good at speaking in circles, however what you fail to realize is that every long, banal, and redundant post you have made, has either skirted the issues at hand or promoted you and Sextracker- Your ego is astonishing.
I do NOT know anyone at Porntrack, never talked with the- however I read on Luke F-rd that he has had problems with your "telling half truths, and outright lies". So is he part of the "hidden agenda"? Am I setting you up throught them? I don't get it, you give me way too much credit- for me to pull off such a coup would make me more powerful than you wouldn't it? Maybe it's Ron Levi and his evil forces right Andy? I for one liked the post you made last night when you entered the URL of Sextracker- and titled it "Nero" Are you saying "you" are Sextracker? Just you ?
You're team doesn't consist of skilled programmers and ,marketing people? People like: Chris,Eric Rodgers,David Eisenberg, Bama, Eden, and formerly Bode? I know these people and know that these people are/were "Sextracker". Not just you, and your pompous ego pal. Actions like that as silly as they may be, infuriate me.
As one who has worked in the Fortune 100 side of business, I can tell you that I've always made money for other people, and helped grow their companies. Most of the companies I had worked for never acknowledged my good deeds and productiveness that's why I got out of corporate America. I see that Sextracker is a " corporation", hell that's the real reason I am not there anymore- I couldn't take your structured, pseudo-corporate ideas and implement them at YNOT. Why? Because it simply won't work. "adult business" is itself an oxymoron. I think we prove that everyday with posts like Andy's.
You don't have to have a college degree to have an adult site, nor do you need any business sense to operate a site. I think we are showing the rest of our peers here at Topniche that this truly is the case with some of the namby pamby "poor me" rantings of Andy. Quit crying already Andy, yes, we do not like you, yes we will be calling you on the carpet when you promise your bulls--- and never deliver- I am privy to some of your best "overpromise and underdeliver promises" remember the new board of YNOT? Didn't you tell them that you were flying them all out to San Diego and wining and dining them? Did you not tell AL4A,RB,Greg Dumas,Bangwang, Scarlett,OZ, D$, and Rick Muenyoung this in a press conference? Does anyone want to email the people above to hear it from their lips?
Here is the bottom line, Andy you have never even called your board members for their support, why? Because you lost them a long time ago with your venomous, two faced, bulls---, and empty promises. Surely it would have been nice to call your board for back up the last two days, but I think we know what would happen if you called any of them on the phone. Andrew Edmond: Messiah here, calling for "XXX" Answer: Who are you ? What company are you from? and this is in regards to? Andy " buh-bye" buddy, may you rest in peace, from my perspective you have already hung yourself- I gave you just enough rope too! Funeral services will be held in Seattle next week, next to Jimi Hendrix's grave, (that soil is so funky and drug saturated we reserved your plot years ago) for our dearly departed. Now let's see if he reserects himself :-))
Lee Noga from OnTheRopes.com: Bill, you are entitled to your opinion, I tip my hat to you and would probably feel the same if I was not in the know. But if you drill down past his "abilities and success", it was his sucesses that made him a target when it as disovered these same successes were part of the problem.
If a poll was taken about Edmond/Ynot from the day he bought YNOT and another one taken 6 months post acquisition, would you call the comparative study results ( no doubt the polls would contrast) and could this sharp change in contrast be neatly filed under, "Oh, Andy is just an easy target"? I doubt it.
FYI, Ron Levi, Joe Elkind, RB, Bob Botto, Python, CashQuest, Porn Tracker, APIC, JohnIP, Persian Kitty, ..and the list goes on, easy targets too?
Honey, these people expect to get their shorts sniffed, and if there are skid marks, you can believe the news would be reported. How come they are not under fire as leaders of this industry? Edmond has been no more scrutinized than any other high visibility player, and why is it such a sin? Is it scandelous to report, Edmond did not pass muster?
Let me congratulate Flying Croc/Edmond on their http://www.chameleonbrowser.com/ , that was quite a sucess to develop a browser so the surfer can suppress ads/pop ups. Sure popups are annoying but they make adult webmasters money. Its a damn shame when a sponsor has to release code to 30,000 webmasters to offset this key component of chameleonbrowser....another key success & ability of Edmond.
YNOTmasters teaches webmasters how to make money, and on the flip side, Flying Croc develops a browser that can cost an adult webmaster money... You all can support and follow who ever you want, thats your choice, I am just stating when I make my choices, it will not be YNOT or Edmond related.
Bill Myers writes on Topniche.com: Lee, I see your points. You always have good ones, but so does Andy whom you've choose to attack. As for the other webmasters whom you've listed, yes, when they offer themselves up to the chat boards, they unfortunately become targets as well. That's why you rarely see some of them participating. Sad, but true. If what you say about Andy is true, then I urge you to attack those programs that you deem harmful.
As far as Andy's Chameleon browser goes, while I don't use it, I applaud him for giving surfers THAT choice. Just because pop-ups are money-makers doesn't give our industry the right to force them upon those who surf our sites. This is most especially true when pop-ups are inescapable and crash browsers. Shame on any of us for abusing this technology. The latest technology being tested by some of the biggests names in our business, apparently, are these dial-ups that fool surfers into paying for something that they haven't chosen on their own. Not only is this bad for surfers, but it also hurts revenues of advertisers since sponsors simply use the advertisers' traffic without compensation. It's a nasty trend and gives our industry a bad name as if we can use any more bad publicity. Yow!
If your intent was to get Andy on the ropes and knock him out of these discussions, then you've apparently succeeded. I've generally only heard good things about you, so I am astonished at your personal attacks. I have to believe that your intention is to fight CP and not an individual per se, so I at least applaud you for THAT effort. Keep up the good fight. I support you in that.
Lee, I just took a quick glance at Andy's "other site" [Lycaeum.org] which you linked here. It appears to be promoting the cause of the ACLU in their position on h.r. 2987, no? Isn't this a good thing? What's bad about THAT site? Maybe I'm missing something here.
Lee Noga replies: Here Bill, here are some recipes from the site, make sure you follow the safety cautions :-) Pass this on to every child on the web...and if you don't want to why not?
http://www.lycaeum.org/drugs/GHB/recipie-powder
http://www.lycaeum.org/drugs/GHB/ghbsynth.new
Brad Shaw: Lee, who cares if Andy wants to legalize drugs. To each his own. I choose not to use drugs, but if someone else wants to, that is their choice. Lets be honest, the webmaster population has quite a high % of illegal drug use. I give the guy credit for standing up in what he believes in, even if it is very unpopular.
Lee Noga: If you spend some time there [Lycaeum.org] you too can learn to become your own pharmacist....would you be upset if your kids visited this site? It is no different than a site that teaches folks how to build bombs.... Hallucenogens anybody? How about barbituates? Amphetamines? Andy what a great contribution to the web pal...very pioneering and pro-unity.
Let me quote from an indepth article:
Luke: "What's your primary motivation for buying YNOT?"
Andy: "It dovetails with our ambitions for the business. Sextracker.com had a lot of ideas to start our own organization on a legislative and consumer group. We felt strongly that everybody in this business would get burned because no one was proactive about [various political attempts to regulate and censor porn on the net]. We've always had this reactive business. We trusted the ACLU to go out and fight our causes. For me, it's protecting my back...
"Sextracker just does not count hits or do free hosting. We do a lot of business. We facilitate and catalyze everybody in this business to make more money. And everybody who does business with us is going to get stung unless somebody rises to a position of leadership. I happen to have enough energy and a broad vision of where this business is going... And because nobody else is doing it, I elected myself..."
Peeps, For further reading: http://www.l-keford.com/stars/male/andrew_edmond.htm
Oh? Where did I get this article from, YNOTMasters a few days ago......
If you read about his drug site lycaeum.org in this article, I asked him point blank on microphone if this indeed was his site! Edmond admitted publically, we have the audio to prove this, and note in his chat with Luke, he hosted the drug site pages, and was not a part....
The man lies, he has no creditability, and is as smooth as Seth at IEG, and remind me of their demise again? If he can lie abouthis passion for basement chemistry, how can I believe him about anything, I cannot. But to him valid points are personal attacks.
Edmond, lead on, but your not going to lead webmasters to a dry well as long as I remain in this industry. Lead your crusade as a self appointed leader, because impeachment is around the corner.
Raw Alex writes on Topniche: Otto, Nero, and myself met in the upstairs bar a couple of hours before the session [at the Cybernet Expo]. We discussed back and forth on a number of issues. All of those issues were touched during the session itself, no hidden agendas or other backroom dealings. The session itself was an eye opener.
First off, the number of people in the room was encouraging. Some of the biggest companies in our business were represented in the room, and the crowd was a good mix of the curious and the "armed".
While I am not a fan of personal attacks, there is some merit in this type of discussion in public. I will touch on that later in this post (did I mention this was going to be a long one?). For the most part, it was easy to see the the tolerance level for child porn has gone from little to NONE, at least in the group present for the session. There seemed to be general agreement that we need to work to seperate our honest and legal businesses away from this stuff.
I hope some eyes were opened amoungst the newbies that were in attendance. I know that each of the people on the panel left with a new appreciation for the subject and temperature of the room.
The end of the meeting was a bit scambled. I think everyone basically agreed we had talked the issues at hand to death. The attacks that Nero refers to as personal were for the most part less than personal. Questions regarding his operation of a drug information site, amoungst others, were personal. But they had a point. Again, I wil touch on the why in a minute. The rest of the questions had mostly to do with why one of the biggest offending companies in the industry was in a position to lead us out from anything.
Nobody will deny, this is one of the most important public relation topics for our business. This is where the rubber meets to road when it comes to public perception of our industry as a whole. We can either find the ways to put distance between ourselves and this plague, or we can be part of it. This is as much a political issue as a legal issue, and anyone familiar with the real world of politics needs to be aware of public perception of the issues and players involved.
I think the problems best raised were EXACTLY those of perception. It is easy to find CP [Child Porn] sites on sextracker's own search engine. You are more likely to find a sextracker counter or banner exchange on a CP toplist than any other. Basically, those people have discovered a company with a soft touch on these issues, and are taking advantage.
Yes, I know that sextracker has expanded quickly. I understand that the freehosting has exploded into a huge deal. Yes, I think everyone appreciates the magnitude of the problem. But that doesn't change the fact: Nobody BUT sextracker made their own problems.
Andy, you may have hit on good solutions, but you need to make them work in your own backyard. Spend the next 100,000 this month on lawyers to get the customs people to let you take your counters off these horrible sites. Distance yourself from them, or you will remain part of the problem, not of the solution. If your freehost is getting too big to manage, then STOP ACCEPTING NEW SITES UNTIL YOU HAVE CHECKED OUT ALL THE OLD SITES. The solutions to your problems require that you control your business - not the whole industry.
Yes, many of your actions have been good. But enough politics, get the job done on your own stuff, THEN show us how you did it. Also, you must listen. One of the most disconcerting things I found talking with you is that you are focused while you are talking, then as soon as ANYONE else starts talking, you stop paying attention. You are looking around the room, very absently listening to what is being talked about. This is the sign of someone who thinks nobody else has anything to offer.
You can make very valuable contributions to getting this situation resolved. But remember, you don't have ALL the answers, you don't have the ONLY TOOLS, and you don't have the only contacts to law enforcement. You can be PART of the solution, or PART of the problem - but you cannot be the ONLY solution.
Over the last couple of years, individuals and groups have refined ways to handle CP sites. We locate, report, and get these sites shut down, using whatever methods we can. We remove their links, we DON'T pay for their traffic, and we don't offer them the support services that the adult industry offers to legit webmasters. The results of these efforts are already pretty obvious: You rarely see major sponsor program banners on these sites - you rarely see major processing companies handling their payments - and you rarely see these sites listed on responsible linking sites.
Sextracker needs to move to resolve the issues in it's own backyward. All of the personal attacks are nothing but a very loud and public reminder than the most obvious association between the legit world and these sites is often a sextracker counter or banner exchange.
VSDA News
Mr Big writes on RAME: The Venetian Hotel - site of July's VSDA Convention, is now Vegas' hottest property. The restaurants, nightclubs, shows, etc. are mobbed. Even in the dead of last Winter you could hardly move in the Casino. And this joint is porn friendly. They host the CES, ia2000 and other events without intrusion. If you have the bucks and make early reservations, try Lutece, the NY restaurant transplant. The C2K danceclub rivals anything in NY or LA for outlandish outfits and hot ladies. Aside from the private parties, the big bash will be Playboy's party at the Wet N' Wild Water Park.

One seldom encounters a new, heretical way of looking at things if the only ideas one is exposed to are those that have already been vetted for you by Time-Warner or Hollywood. But this takes effort, as one has to peel away the ravings to see if there is any underlying good stuff.
The Ygg essay is very interesting because once you look past the ravings (but to be fair, he is less hydrophobic than Pierce) it touches upon some issues that have been kicking around l-keford.com for as long as I have been reading it. What is the result of dosing the 100% of males who have access to popular culture (or a VCR) with images of women who are in the top 1% of the population for sexual desireablity, women the average man can only dream about someday getting? Porn presents but one special case of this question - there are others. For example, what does it do to Black men (and women!) to see so many of the highest status of them - NBA athletes - routinely reject black women for the Nicole Browns of the white race?
Ygg advances the thesis that this is harmful to society because it predisposes men to feel bad about being with the women they are with, purely on the basis of appearances. And in their own way, I think that "tough jewish chick" Amy, the Jewish Lauras, Lynne, Mullah Ishmael in his defense of the chador, and even you, Marc, are all dancing around the same related issues. The rise of mass media has made images of rare beauty available to all men, and the consequences are not all for the good.
Consider a question you raised a short time ago concerning the oddity of Jewish Media Tsars using gentile women to portray Jewish characters. Why not have an "Amy Sohn" look-alike play the role of Ross's sister on "Friends," instead of some blonde shiksa? A good question, which can never be addressed on MTV or Sixty Minutes or in People Magazine. But Ygg anticipated this development several years ago!
Consider this snippet he provides from the Jerusalem Post (Luke, is that the paper that interviewed you?):
"Jewish men want what's intensely familiar to them - Eastern European food, intelligent female conversation - and what's intensely alien: extreme height, a degree of imagined carnality. (SJFs in Tel Aviv report men there favor Dutch converts for wives.) The divorced men, according to my friend, are slightly different. They act like they've just made a jailbreak. They want a whole different model, preferably waitresses from Minnesota, science teachers from Duluth, basically any female whose never heard of Loehmann's, decorators or lawyers."
Now Marc, is this not damn close to what you and I were recently kicking around vis-a-vis the use of crypto-goyim to portray jewish women on television? The Jewish men who decide who they want as romantic characters are sufficiently loyal to the tribe to make the characters jewish, but when the time comes to pick an actress to pull it all off, they choose the shiksa, the women they really want to be with.
When you ask why I find this essay so interesting, you seem to be sounding the same dismissive note that I so often hear from Canadian Jews, Hollywood Jews, Manhattan Jews, and the intellectually timid, politically reliable goyim hired to work for them (sorry JD, but this would be you). While smarter than most, jews simply do not understand the broader culture as completely as they think they do. Manipulation is not the same thing as comprehension. Media Jews would do well to step out of the ghettos of mind and place that they live in and try to see things from the point of view of others, even (especially!) their enemies. The complexity of life is such that even an enemy can be insightful at times, as Ygg is here.
Personally, I wish that there were other mainstream outlets where such heretical ideas could be discussed. I wish that a professional writer like JDC would explore these issues every now and then for the mainstream press, but let's face it - if he did, he would soon be out of work. (To be fair, I do not regularly read what JDC writes, so this last comment might be untrue and unfair to him, in which case I apologize. But given the warnings he has passed on to Luke - "you do not smell any smoke and there is no fire, so get back to writing about gang-bangs" - I doubt it. And yes, I realize that some feminists have written about some of this, but they are not in the mainstream, and who can stomach reading any more feminist critical theory?) So long as the people who control the commanding heights of popular culture in this country make their money by keeping us all dumb and happy, we will have no choice but to sift through the writings of the fringe for other insights.
Marc Putative writes: i'd guess danielle crittenden's "what our mothers never taught us" is close in spirit, although more proto-dr. laura in its delivery, and certainly not covering the racial aspects. she was recently pilloried for lambasting "the vagina monologues" without even seeing it; married to david frum, the conservative wag, a scion of a rich real estate mogul and broadcaster. she is also a convert-by-marriage to judaism. but chaim, remind me--what is the precise appeal of ole yggs ravings?
Chaim: Check out ftp://natvan.com/pub/061000.txt and ask yourself "what can I do to fight jewish pimps?" Also, if it is playing in your city, you should go see the new documentary "American Pimp." Apparently, some stereotypes are true!
Regarding that essay I just forwarded to you, I would wager that if they could look beyond the racial arguments it advances, that even NJG, Lynne, all the jewish Lauras and all the jewish Amys (to the extent that they are not e-trannies) would, much to their chagrin, find themselves in agreement with much of it.
Gentlemen: I finally found that essay by Yggdrasil that I had been searching for. It is long, but well worth a careful reading. The part about the plight of jewish women is especially interesting, considering the politics of the author. Marc, Luke - can you think of anyone in the mainstream of media who has written anything close to this?
Marc: the best show ever about jew-shiksa relationships was a fox sitcom called "flying blind" c. 1992-93, which featured a woody-like nebbish romancing tea leoni. (who was an unknown at the time ... she still is in the grand scheme of things, no?) leoni went on to wed half-jew david deutoronomy (the "x-files guy", however you spell it). coincidence?
amy sohn has a website dedicated to her self-absorption: amy-sohn.com
in the first few pages of the latest issue of "naughty neighbours," there's a milk-fed blonde (i didn't take note of where she's from) wearing a "chai" necklace. funny, she don't look jewish. maybe it's a rod carew kinda thing. (don't ask me why i was flipping through this.) good points, chaim! i'm more than happy to lead the new movement of cynically observant jews. i might've even stuck it out for all-night learning on shavuot but it was really humid and my beloved was tired.
Yggdrasil writes: As we have discussed in previous posts, the advertisers in our mass media seek to encourage irrational purchases by appealing to status longings and sexual frustration. Prior to the invention of photography shortly before 1850, young boys and girls invariably formed their ideas of sexual attraction based upon people they actually saw in their neighborhoods.
However, with the advent of the photograph and the use of the photograph in advertising, it became possible to select rare and infrequent images of human beauty and present them to the public as the desired norm. Thus, sexual imprinting came to be based upon the result of a selection process that excluded all but a very tiny fraction of the population. The selection was done for commercial reasons. The scarcity of the image in real life increased its advertising value.
Politics in the 19th and 20th centuries has been largely a struggle over equality. However, few areas of life present more stark and visible inequalities than sexual attraction. Given equal amounts of exercise and training, most men can run the 100 meter dash at pretty much the same speed. The differences are minor.
But the aesthetic differences between individuals are absolutely enormous - orders of magnitude greater than the differences between them in strength, manual dexterity or intelligence. In other words, the ability of most people to make a contribution to the economy is far more equal than their ability to attract a mate (if the reasons for mating are exclusively based on aesthetics, and not practical necessity).
The problem, of course, is that every advertisement published by the press spreads images of women the like of which are seldom seen in real life in most towns and cities in America.
You can search the streets of Manhattan for days and never see a blonde beauty like Claudia Schiffer. In cities such as Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Columbus you can wander for days through shopping malls of European-American neighborhoods and never see a woman who comes anywhere close to looking like Claudia Schiffer or Cindy Crawford.
You do see small numbers of women who look like them throughout the Western United States, but it is still a minority.
The pathology created by these images are fairly predictable.
Males are frustrated. Inevitably, the mate you pick will represent a compromise. Nothing will match the images in the movies or on TV. The women know they cannot measure up and so the temptation is not to try. They assume that men want what they see in the movies, so they might as well become male-hating liberationists, or stuff their faces and drop out of the sexual competition.
Organized ideological male-hating never existed until the advent of movies and television. Indeed, if you are seeking an explanation for the anti-white animus of our cultural elites (despite their Euro-American racial origins), sexual anger is an excellent starting point. Here is just one example from the April 22, 1994 edition of the Wall Street Journal, page A1, entitled "Mixed Signals":
* * *
Some white students make an effort to cross the racial divide. Lisa Todorovich, a senior from Milwaukee who is the first in her family to attend college, took an African American Studies class last semester on the writings of Toni Morrison. In a class equally split between blacks and whites, Ms. Todorovich, 22, found herself for the first time feeling self-conscious about her skin color.
When the class discussed Ms. Morrison's "The Bluest Eye," a book about how white ideals of beauty affect a black girl, Ms. Todorovich felt she, too, could relate. As a child, she felt unattractive because her looks didn't measure up to Shirley Temple's. "But I didn't open my mouth," she says, because she considered her childhood pain trivial compared with the experiences of black women in the class.
* * *
Given the blatant anti-white attitudes of the cultural elites who produce the icons of our popular culture, the most tempting analogy is chemotherapy. One suspects the poisons produced by the dream meisters, while harmful to all, are intended to destroy only the hated "white bread" of society.
But, paradoxically, that isn't how it works in actual practice. In effect, the frustrated and angry dream meisters often end up eating their own young. Exhibit One comes from Eldridge Cleaver's "Soul on Ice," page 19.
"This little game got good to me and I got good at it. I attacked all forms of piety, loyalty, and sentiment: marriage, love, God, patriotism, the Constitution, the founding fathers, law, concepts of right-wrong-good-evil, all forms of ritualized and conventional behavior. As I pranced about, club in hand, seeking new idols to smash, I encountered really for the first time in my life, with any seriousness, The Ogre, rising up before me in a mist. I discovered, with alarm, that The Ogre possessed a tremendous and dreadful power over me, and I didn't understand this power or why I was at its mercy. I tried to repudiate The Ogre, root it out of my heart as I had done God, Constitution, principles, morals, and values -- but The Ogre had its claws buried in the core of my being and refused to let go. I fought frantically to be free, but The Ogre only mocked me and sank its claws deeper into my soul. I knew then that I had found an important key, that if I conquered The Ogre and broke its power over me I would be free. But I also knew that it was a race against time and that if I did not win I would certainly be broken and destroyed. I, a black man, confronted The Ogre -- the white woman."
Continuing on page 23: "From our discussion, which began that evening and has never yet ended, we went on to notice how thoroughly, as a matter of course, a black growing up in America is indoctrinated with the white race's standard of beauty. Not that the whites made a conscious, calculated effort to do this, we thought, but since they constituted the majority the whites brainwashed the blacks by the very processes the whites employed to indoctrinate themselves with their own group standards. It intensified my frustrations to know that I was indoctrinated to see the white woman as more beautiful and desirable than my own black woman. It drove me into books seeking light on the subject. In Richard Wright's Native Son, I found Bigger Thomas and a keen insight into the problem."
And finally, beginning on page 25: "Somehow I arrived at the conclusion that, as a matter of principle, it was of paramount importance for me to have an antagonistic, ruthless attitude toward white women. The term outlaw appealed to me and at the time my parole date was drawing near, I considered myself to be mentally free - I was an "outlaw." I had stepped outside of the white man's law, which I repudiated with scorn and self-satisfaction. I became a law unto myself--my own legislature, my own supreme court, my own executive. At the moment I walked out of the prison gate, my feelings toward white women in general could be summed up in the following lines:
TO A WHITE GIRL
I love you Because you're white,
Not because you're charming
Or bright.
Your whiteness Is a silky thread
Snaking through my thoughts
In redhot patterns
Of lust and desire.
I hate you Because you're white.
Your white meat Is nightmare food.
White is
The skin of Evil.
You're my Moby Dick,
White Witch,
Symbol of the rope and hanging tree,
Of the burning cross.
Loving you thus
And hating you so,
My heart is torn in two.
Crucified.
"I became a rapist. To refine my technique and modus operandi, I started out by practicing on black girls in the ghetto--in the black ghetto where dark and vicious deeds appear not as aberrations or deviations from the norm, but as part of the sufficiency of the Evil of a day--and when I considered myself smooth enough, I crossed the tracks and sought out white prey. I did this consciously, deliberately, willfully, methodically--"
Clearly, blacks suffer much more than whites from the images of European beauty that are cast in front of them by the advertisers. Here is a second example from the perspective of a black female reporter for the New York Times: Glamour Magazine October, 1995 p. 127
Bridges: Light skin versus dark: A painful topic many blacks would rather not confront. By Charisse Jones
I'll never forget the day I was supposed to meet him. We had only spoken on the phone. But we got along so well, we couldn't wait to meet face-to-face. I took the bus from my high school to his for our blind date. While I nervously waited for him outside the school, one of his buddies came along, looked me over and remarked that I was going to he a problem, because his friend didn't like dating anybody darker than himself.
When my mystery man--who was not especially good-looking-- finally saw me, he took one look, uttered a hurried hello, then disappeared with his smirking friends. I had apparently been pronounced ugly on arrival and dismissed.
That happened nearly 15 years ago. I'm 30 now, and the hurt and humiliation have long since faded. But the memory still lingers, reinforced in later years by other situations in which my skin color was judged by other African Americans--for example, at a cocktail party or a nightclub where light-skinned black women got all the attention.
A racist encounter hurts badly. But it does not equal the pain of "colorism" -- being rejected by your own people because your skin is colored cocoa and not cream, ebony and not olive. On our scale of beauty, it is often the high yellows--in the lexicon of black America; those with light skin whose looks reap the most attention. Traditionally, if someone was described that way, there was no need to say that person was good-looking. It was a given that light was lovely. It was those of us with plain brown eyes and darker skin hues who had to prove ourselves.
I was 12, and in my first year of junior high school in San Francisco, when I discovered dark brown was not supposed to be beautiful. At that age, boys suddenly became important, and so did your looks. But by that time--the late 1970s--black kids no longer believed in that sixties mantra, "Black is beautiful." Light skin, green eyes and long, wavy hair were once again synonymous with beauty.
Colorism--and its subtext of self hatred--began during slavery on plantations where white masters often favored the lighter-skinned blacks, many of whom were their own children. But though it began with whites, black people have kept colorism alive. In the past, many black sororities, fraternities and other social organizations have been notorious for accepting only light-skinned members. Yes, some blacks have criticized their lighter-skinned peers. But most often in our history, a light complexion has been a passport to special treatment by both whites and blacks.
It is hard to understand how anyone reading these words could believe that the multi-racial empire was worth its costs.
The problem is that racial affronts and racial animus against whites arise from well springs of human interaction that have little or nothing to do with the actions of whites themselves.
What could any white person do to avoid the hurt of Charisse Jones? The answer is not much, except to partition the country into separate nations.
And absent that partitioning, people who's character and moral judgment have been formed by racial anger and sexual frustration gravitate naturally toward occupations in the media, where their anger makes it much easier for them to participate in the broad attack on middle american culture and its restraints. Eldridge Cleaver sold over 2 million copies of Soul on Ice over 20 years ago. The cultural elites have been well aware of the misery integrationism inflicts for at least several decades. But that was 20 years ago when we were only required to imprint upon the unattainable. Today, the giant consumer brands provide us with much more powerful toxins.

More Marketers Aiming Ads at Lesbians
The magazine advertisement for Tuaca liqueur seems pretty traditional at first glance: Three trendy young women gabbing over drinks. Then you realize the women are flirting with one another. Another advertising taboo is being shattered as Hiram Walker & Sons the distributor of Tuaca, joins a small wave of national advertisers targeting the lesbian market.
"In the last two years, there's been a much broader discussion of lesbianism," says Richard Mukamal, vice president and group category director for Hiram Walker's liqueurs. "Lesbianism has made its way into network television. It's part of a young, hip, urban demographic."
The "outing" of the lesbian market is drawing big-name advertisers such as American Express, Stolichnaya vodka, Atlantic Records and Naya bottled water to such magazines as Deneuve, Lesbian News, Girlfriends and On Our Backs which all have national distribution.
In addition, Tanqueray vodka and Pierre Cardin have signed on to sponsor the television show "Freestyles," hosted by Amanda Bearse, the openly lesbian actress from the "Married ... With Children" TV series, according to the marketing publication Next News.
The paid program will run this summer on cable channel VH-1 with features that appeal to both gay women and gay men. Most marketers use general ads that simply show their products, but a few marketers are being more direct with ads like Tuaca's and one for Atlantic Records showing two women holding hands at the beach.
For years, the lesbian market was overshadowed by the more vocal and more noticeable gay male audience, which a number of advertisers considered worth pursuing. Lesbians were stereotyped as less affluent than gay men and uninterested in traditional women's products such as cologne and cosmetics.
But now some marketers are taking another look, with brands like Unilever's Calvin Klein fragrances and Vivant skincare products considering advertising to the lesbian market. They are being swayed partly by new statistics breaking out lesbians from the overall gay population.
Overlooked Opinions, a Chicago-based research firm that tracks the gay market, estimates that lesbians spend about $137 billion a year and have average household incomes of $42,755. Beyond the numbers, lesbians have greater visibility, with lesbian relationships featured in television shows such as "Friends" and movies such as "Bar Girls" and "The Incredibly True Adventure of 2 Girls in Love." Also, more women are joining celebrities such as k.d. Lang, Melissa Etheridge and Martina Navratilova in openly expressing their lesbianism.
"The market, both gay and lesbian, is one of the most highly educated and fiercely loyal audiences we have," says Vicky Germaise, senior vice president of Atlantic Records, which runs ads in Out and Genre magazines promoting lesbian artists such as Melissa Ferrick.
In addition to media, such advertisers as Seagram and Hiram Walker also are trying to reach the lesbian market through special events such as the Dinah Shore Weekend, a gathering held every March in Palm Springs. Calif., that draws about 20,000 women. The event occurs at the same time as the Nabisco-Dinah Shore golf tournament, but isn't connected to the Ladies Professional Golf Association tournament.

And as the above excerpt makes clear, the driving force behind production of these toxins is money. And indeed, there are hints in the above quotes from the market research types that the most educated and the highest income groups are the most severely impacted by the toxins.
Reprinted from Race Bias #40, and from page 4 of the January 20, 1995 edition of the Jerusalem Post, is a more normal expression of despair in the war to reproduce. Indeed, it is clear that the dream meisters of Beverly Hills are eating their young:
A friend who lives in her own condo on the Upper West Side of Manhattan calls me. She's 39, single, a partner in a Big Eight accounting firm and inexplicitly identified as a traditional Jew. She's called to say good-bye.
It is the old story. She is quitting New York, tired of looking for a husband, tired of being rejected by persnickety Jewish men. Maybe it has something to do with their mothers or with their fathers or with their cousins from France, my friend speculates, laughing. Who cares. I'm outta here, she says. It's 1995. She has to do something radical. She is moving to India.
The idea of moving to a Third World country - to a place she says where men are still men and where a white woman who can buy her own elephant for transportation is prized - is not new. Another SJF from Manhattan who moved to India several years ago became folklore. In a small Jewish congregation in Bombay, she met her British-Jewish Hugh Grant. Today they are married and living in London.
After 15 years of chasing Jewish men, my friend says her tired flesh wants a little adulation, a little lust, a little naches from having been born female. And she wants clamorous attention from thousands of men. A Jewish Benazir Bhutto, that's what she wants. So when her company decided to transfer the current managing partner in Bombay, she, to her parents' dismay, volunteered for the position.
Jewish men want what's intensely familiar to them - Eastern European food, intelligent female conversation - and what's intensely alien: extreme height, a degree of imagined carnality. (SJFs in Tel Aviv report men there favor Dutch converts for wives.)
The divorced men, according to my friend, are slightly different. They act like they've just made a jailbreak. They want a whole different model, preferably waitresses from Minnesota, science teachers from Duluth, basically any female whose never heard of Loehmann's, decorators or lawyers. They want women who, when they hear they have to sign a pre-nuptial agreement, say, "Great!"
As the sun sets over the 20th century, one of the biggest jokes, according to my friend, is that Jewish men aren't anxious to marry her: a pert, admittedly aggressive, self-made Jewish woman. She blames traditional feminists whom, she believes, devalued female sexuality without concerning themselves with cultural trespass. Traditional Jewish women, she says, who really believed they could "have it all" are paying the price. Jewish men can't handle so much firepower. They are seeking their white bread and mayonnaise elsewhere.
According to my friend, it's not that Jewish men reject strong women, they just don't like the artifice unmasked. They are still earnest, programmed to work hard for home and hearth but not for peers. Only for pale, lanky types who say "great" every half-hour. The above excerpt is consistent with the statistics. College educated black women with advanced degrees have the lowest birthrate in the nation. Second lowest is Jewish women. In both cases, they are far below replacement levels.
As Lipsett and Raab state in "Jews and the New American Scene," page 46: The Jewish birthrate is low and declining. The completed fertility rate for Jewish women age 45-49 is 20 percent below that of Jewish women of the same age 20 years ago, almost 20 percent below that of all American white women, and 10 percent less than the level needed for population replacement.
The irony of the article on lesbian advertising is that Edgar Bronfman, chairman emeritus of Seagrams, marketer to lesbians and purveyor of the message that the lezzie lifestyle is hip, is the head of the American Jewish Committee, and like Lipset and Raab, publicly bemoans the high intermarriage rates and low birthrates of American Jews. Well, it is Bronfman who produces the toxic waste that, to a large measure, drives young Jewish women to leave the country, and young Jewish men to seek out the genotype of the models in his ads. And, of course, Edgar Bronfman Jr., was busy chasing every shiksa skirt in New York City 25 years ago.
Now Edgar Jr. has caused Seagrams to buy 80% of MCA so that he can get into the movie business and begin producing toxic waste on a much grander scale. Daddy has much to atone for. Sonny doesn't care. As if to anticipate the family's new onslaught, the elder Bronfman's antidote to Seagram's cultural effluent is more "Jewish education," by which he means the segregation of young Jews so that they can imprint on one another, and to make explicit the message that the cultural toxic waste flowing from Seagrams and others is not meant for Jews. Jews are supposed to be smart enough to resist the stuff. Intermarriage is for goyim, dummies!
Reality presents much more compelling arguments for racial separation than slogans. And indeed, in the United States, minorities suffer at the hands of the integrationist state. The reason they suffer is that the integrationist state is attempting to do something that simply cannot be done.
When several races are placed in a single country they compete. That competition does not go away. Our social sciences tend to focus solely on legal relationships (like slavery) or economic relationships (such as relative income levels).
But the truth is that the social sciences conceal the most significant form of competition - sexual selection. Legislation cannot stop it or the hurt it engenders. In fact, the well-springs of racial feeling run so deep that they can never be eradicated. It is foolish to try. In the struggle for sexual survival, educated Blacks and Jews are losing in the United States.
But in all honesty, if Euro- Americans are experiencing the "thrill of victory" in this area, I would hate to experience "the agony of defeat." As with so many aspects of life in the Multi-Racial Empire, we are all losing, it is just that European-Americans are losing at a less rapid rate in this one particular arena.
If this seems paradoxical, I would suggest that it is one more illustration of the powerful self-destructive impulse that the Multi-racial empire stirs up in minorities. (See Yggdrasil's Lesson #9.)
The need to attack Euro-Americans is so overpowering that the attackers pay scant attention to the casualties from within their own ranks. From the economic perspective of the purveyors of our popular culture, the ideal would be for all of us to become totally self- absorbed, have no children, spend all of our income on impulse and status related purchases, and then die off in a single generation, to be replaced entirely by new immigrants.
Our advertisers are equal opportunity exterminationists. They could care less who gets destroyed by their wares. They bestow quotas on minorities in the hope that minorities will think the system fair and refrain from direct challenges to the great herds of freeway commuting Euro-Americans.
I asked that all of you cut your cable TV subscription. We must minimize our exposure to advertising and its media. As outlined earlier in this post, advertising has the primary purpose of making us unhappy with our lot and leading us to believe that an irrational purchase might help.
One of its primary tools is sexual frustration. It causes us to imprint upon largely unattainable images. Second, advertising is the vehicle that brings us cultural messages designed to weaken our motivation to make the sacrifices necessary to preserve our own kind. After all, why would one wish to go through all the work of having children when they will just be "white bread" or "wimpy white guys" or "barbie and ken dolls" or one of any number of other epithets served up to us in word and picture by the dream meisters of Beverly Hills. We are all much better off if our kids learn to interact with real people rather than watching TV all the time.
Further, once several million of us cut off the cable, it creates opportunities for entrepreneurs to create new media and a new cultural message to communicate to us. But more important, by isolating ourselves from the commercial media, we can begin to overcome the many pathologies that limit us in our everyday lives. Most relevant for you college students are those cultural pathologies that make finding a mate much more difficult than it should be.
Let's list a few examples: Young men (and women) often select mates for "status" reasons rather than on how well they get along together. Young men and women carry around images and ideals of the perfect mate (crafted in large part by the media) that are often destructive.
First, high status females are hard to find. Women with IQs above 130 constitute only 2% of the female population. If you restrict yourself to that group, you will have very few examples to pick from and you are likely to end up with a compromise that requires more than the normal amount of endurance to live with.
Second, females with IQs above 130 mature much more slowly than the general population. Thus, they tend to have greater hangups about their physical attractiveness. They are much more susceptible to feminist ideology as a universalized and institutionalized excuse for their own self-imposed sexual failures.
Third are the crippling effects of prosperity. Most high status females spend 10 to 12 years perfecting the manipulative behaviors that enable them to avoid doing the dishes and cleaning their rooms. There are limits to how much nagging mom is willing to do; and dad will not resort to violence or severe economic coercion. The bottom line is that the young princesses have become expert in turning mom and dad into maid service.
And of course, having children means doing lots of dishes and other lowly chores. It may seem shocking, but the abysmally low birthrate of college educated women has almost nothing to do with ideology and everything to do with avoiding maid service. After training for 12 years to handle mom and dad, don't be surprised if she has the same thing in mind for you.
This deep and irrational status aversion to doing chores not only has personal consequences (low birthrates) but has enormous secondary economic and political consequences as well. It means that much of the economic value of household tasks is moved from the untaxed self-help economy to the transaction economy where it yields tax revenue that strengthens our oppressive government.
The truth is that our status yearnings have been thoroughly manipulated by the media in ways that make it more and more difficult for Euro-Americans to get along and reproduce. These status images have become unreliable. Shed them. For all the media talk about sexual freedom and liberation, our popular culture makes an unmistakable statement. The status of a woman can be measured by how often she says "no." The women with the greatest status are the ones who have sex the least often and with the fewest partners. The image applies across the board from Janet Reno and Hillary Clinton to the young starlets on the TV series 90210.
I will never forget the stunning episode of 90210 in which Shannon Doherty's character (Brenda) loses her virginity to Luke Perry's character (Dillon) the night of the prom. The day after the big event, Doherty's character breaks off the relationship complaining that she didn't know whether she enjoyed it. I watched this episode in amazement, wondering what sort of extra bonus they had to pay Luke Perry to play along with this insult to his masculinity and to pretend that he wanted the ice princess back. It was impossible to suspend my disbelief.
In truth, the images produced by the mass media are profoundly hostile to heterosexual sex. In Hollywood, frigidity among heterosexual females is the expected norm. Sexual failure is the expected norm. It is no accident that the real heroine of 90210 was the producer's daughter, Tori Spelling, who managed to say "no" to everyone in every episode. She never made anyone happy!
These messages have an effect. They give broad license to the status ranking among the herds of suburban PTA moms. Being 40 pounds overweight is the irrefutable symbol of arrival at the exhaulted position of having to please no one. Pity the poor divorced woman who has to lose 30 pounds to find a new husband, or the slender model types who are so insecure about their place in society that they must maintain their sexual prowess and skills. Low status work indeed!
In truth folks, all human societies seek to control reproduction of their members. Our modern American society is no exception. What is surprising is that Hollywood had so little difficulty wresting control from the priesthood. But once the priesthood was replaced, it was no surprise that Hollywood satisfied the market demand for sexual expression with fare that avoids any suggestion of a joyous link between sex, rewarding relationships and procreation. And indeed, the images it sells are uniformly of sexual frustration and failure.
The Ole Ygg is always bemused by the protests against pornography orchestrated by the religious right. If you have a teenage boy, you had better watch a few of these films, because your teenage son certainly will. The stuff is all over the place. And when you do watch a few of these movies, it becomes obvious that the sexual message is exactly the same as the sexual message of 90210. It is only the explicit acrobatics that are different.
The message of the porn flicks is that even women who habitually say "yes" are at best frigid, but more likely lesbians, and that men are better off withdrawing from it all and masturbating. Seldom ever do porn movies portray normal heterosexual intercourse that ends in a happy conclusion for both parties. It is just more of the same toxic waste with the same message.
I see no reason to treat pornography more harshly than Network television. The messages are indistinguishable.
Luke Gets Mail
Chaim Amalek comments on my recent yet to be published interview with Rouze.com: Pretty good. But who are these people? Seems like just another celebrity suck-up web site, if you ask me. Celebrity worship is the idolatry of our age. I notice that Nice Jewish Girl Alicia Silverstone is featured on the current edition of that web site. Think she would object to your web activities?
SunsetBob writes: Luke, I have always been a fan of Amber Woods. Rumor has it that she has returned to adult films. Is this true?
Luke: Yes.
Goddess: Before I sign up for this Pornoland tour, Luke, what's the chances we could swing over to Georgia and meet the biggest stud in the biz??
GREAT PICS, Luke!! My favorites are the ones with Mike South wearing his "pimpin' hat." Is it my imagination or does he and Jeff Marton look like they're going to some sort of Groundhogs Day festivities in picture #11??
Gilles: Hi Luke.Thanks for that interview with Julie.So bad she's married.I was thinking:'Porn is a unique labotary to learn more about HIV transmission.It seems obvious that it's not because you're f---ing with an HIV positive person that you automatically catch it.How many hundreds of girls have been expose(wihout protection) to Marc Wallice and to a lest extend to ??? Montana and they don't even catch a cold?It seems clear that to catch it you should be unhealthy or extremely weak and tired.
Ben writes: Hi Curious, Its nice to see Luke left his site in the hands of a female that is at least getting some DICK in her life. By reading your posts, you put in 2 cups of FUNNY with 1 cup of Bitter,if you mix it up,its still funny. I see Amy Steinberg is back! That jewish lady just has to get a life.After reading her post,as a male,the question to us is: Who in the hell would marry AMY? Her clock has stopped in the 50s, she would never give head, NEVER swallow, ANAL out of the question.The poor sex she likes would be at 10 pm sharp on saturday night,maybe a , Im still sleepy,but put it in anyway on a sunday morning. Her feelings about pornography.are really over stated, and what does she know about how the real world lives. The Amys of this world will not stop pornography,only make is worse. (child, dogs,and live stock,ect) Pornography is like climbing a mountain,going there is the best part. After your on the top,its really no big deal. The Amys are the gate to the trail to the top of the mountain. I see the type of guys at the golf coarse that are married to the Amys of this world. They are dressed with there pink pants there sweetheart shirts of colors only a FAG would wear.
JMT writes: I think the tour idea is a good one. If you put some thought and effort into it, you could make it a droll, worthwhile few hours for the participants. Or, you could just do a lame, slapdash job of it and, if anyone complains, claim that you're trying to "mirror the dissipation and ennui of the industry," or some such crap. In either case, you ought to be charging more than $20. Suggestion: find some unbelievably washed-up ex-performer from 20 years ago and make meeting her a part of the tour, like how you used to be able to go on the Universal Studios tour and get an autograph from Jo Ann Worley from "Laugh-In" or Grampa Al Munster.
Tommy writes: Hey Luke, i am wondering why you have stayed quiet on these questions about Bi-sex movies? How come you site seems less insterested in what's going on in porn than who NJG talks to. Come on man take a stance!!
Luke: I have nothing to add.
Marc writes: "Jewel [DeNyle] says she went to my site the other day for the first time and was horrified to read about her ex-boyfriend's (Peter North) past performances in homosexual porn. She saw the pictures and wanted to puke. Jewel was with Peter for two years and she says she never believed the rumors she heard about his past homo work. Jewel felt revolted and shattered."
Just curious, did Jewel say this too you directly?
Luke: Yes.
John writes: Amy Steinberg said something positive! I can't believe it. She said something to help "losers." She has losers' best interests at heart afterall. Thanks Amy. I agree with her, heavy use of porn is socially isolating, and it probably reduces a guy's self-esteem, and girls (and others) can notice that, and they'll be put off by it. You can have good orgasms using only porn, but it won't take the place of real sex or companionship. If a guy is not getting any female companionship and he's using porn a lot, it's better if he goes cold turkey on the porn and concentrate on other stuff, and eventually attract a girl. It's more satisfying to have a relationship than to just jerk off all the time. You guys don't have to throw away all your porn; you can sell it to secondhand magazine shops. Used videos don't have too much re-sale value, but the shop where I buy 2nd hand porn mags carries (and buys) used videos too.
Michael: To curious: Wow! And I thought I was the king of sarcasm. I bow humbly at the feet of a true master. But you forgot one thing? The lifetime pass. If, through personal fortitude, our tour patron manages make it through the A ticket ride and stays on for the E stuff, what does she have to look forward to? Why having her contributions ignored, or trivialized because she is a woman. And so for the finale, bruised and bitter she ends up alone and ignored by the people she made rich, hating life in general, men in particular. Maybe Disney will build a themepark.
Russell writes: "Ishmael ibn Abu of Mecca, Medina, and al-Quds writes Luke: Some westerners take offense at the code of Sharia, which requires women to dress modestly so as to hide their feminine treasures from the corrupt eyes of man. This is not oppresive, this is liberating! .... The result in your pornography besotted world is rape, venereal disease, and prostitution in the west, and pornography (by which use I include all immodest advertising and video) worsens it all. These are much less of a problem in the Muslim world."
***
Sounds pretty Orwellian to me: Tyrrany is freedom! Let the self-proclaimed mouthpieces of God control your sexuality (no premarital nor extramarital sex, let alone that "unspeakable" homosexuality), your speech (a fatwa for blasphemers, anyone?), and your dress, and you will be free. And as has been noted previously on this site, Japan is rife with pornography yet has an extremely low rape rate. I agree that Islam is unfairly blamed as a whole for the excesses of its most reactionary adherents. But I'm certainly going to oppose the agenda of those who defend the chador as "liberating" and condemn homosexuality as "unspeakable."
What's Wrong With Christoph Clark?
Lauk writes on RAME: I don't know if anyone of you guys remember when the first Euro-angels tapes came out. Oh boy, C. Clark was really working hard on these vids. I'm talking about Euro-angels 3,4,5 6 and the early installments of this series. Now, it seems like he relies on his credentials to sell his recent outputs. Don't get me wrong, his work still outclasses the one of a lot of porn directors out there. Nonetheless, there are too many anal finger play and toy play going on at the expense of the actual f---ing that make his recent vids seem like a rip-off compared to his passed efforts. Heck, he doesn't even bother hiring new actors as he features himself throughout his vids.
Jean Yves LeCastelle with his Debauchery series easily puts C.Clark to shame when it comes to anal oriented vids. LeCastelle gets straight to buisness and doesn't waste half of his video working on anal foreplays like C.Clark does. However, LeCastelle has also demonstrated with his Assman serie that a good director tends to rely more onto his credentials when well established. Yet, the decline of the beauty of his models that has been noticed in Assman 4 through 10 has not been an impedement to his sticking to the theme of his videos. It's like the music industry I guess; once an artist becomes famous, he starts producing garbage to his fans hoping that the name-recognition principle will do the trick. Going back to C.Clark, I was watching his Euro-Hardball Anal Maniac flick and couldn't help thinking what an anal maniac he has actually become.
I'm all for Anal vids, but give me the f---ing and cut the finger and dildo play shorter please. I couldn't help comparing this vid to the first 3 Euro-Harball tapes witch actully had some major f---ing going on. If this is his new trend, I think I'll keep away from his future releases for a while. I can't help but like Max Hardcore's tapes when I watch C.Clark anal fingering saga going on for hours now. Max, like Yves LeCastelle, doesn't procrastinate forever when it comes to sticking to the anal theme. He gets the babe right in front of his porch and off goes the f---ing. This is the kind of spontaneity that C.Clark is rapidly losing in my humble opinion.
James Long Is Back
Brother Terry from the Mondo Prayer Warriors writes: Mondo Family Films is very happy to report that our contract boy, James Long, has been returned to his home on the Spawn Ranch. We were contacted Friday by Yosemite Park Rangers, who had Mr. Long in custody. Apparently, he had made quite a nuisance of himself since he got dropped off in the park last week by Aghast. It seems he slept till noon, but before it got dark, he had every picnic basket in Yosemite Park. The rangers successfully set a trap to catch Mr. Long baited with the same 39 cent cheeseburgers that Aghast used to abduct him from us. The rangers found one of our business cards on Mr. Long, and called us to say that if we didn't come pick him up, he would have to be put to sleep. Turns out he is just too "people friendly" to be let loose in the wild. Long story short, he is back with his loving family, and we couldn't be happier! Tonight we are celebrating his return with a "Welcome Back" dinner at Mr.Long's favorite restaurant, Pioneer Chicken. Many thanks to the Yosemite Park Rangers, Sheridan Horse Ranch for letting us use their trailer and to Mr.Jorge Guzman, manager of the Pioneer Chicken on Hollywood Blvd., for preparing Mr. Long's chicken "Extra Greasy," the way he likes it.
My Jealousy Knows No Boundaries Today
Lynne writes: Dear Luke and Curious:
Curious gets to stay in Luke's hovel and go on the sex tour; I have to stay here in exile and work from the site throughout my school break. Curious gets to be a shabbas goy and crow about it; I remain an unobservant Jew and receive only scorn and no encouragement from Luke.
It was that shot on talkingblue.com of Luke's bare bottom that brought Curious running to you, Luke. No man with a yen for anal sex with a gorgeous bitch boy could resist that photo.
I wish I had been informed about the Jewish holiday BEFORE I tore apart my laundry room and started the washing machine. However, when I finished what I started, I went to bed with Luke's recommended reading from the Bible. I learned a lot of stuff before I fell asleep.
For example, in Deuteronomy 4.16, even before Moses gets to the Ten Big Ones, he reminds us to "beware lest you act corruptly by making a graven image for yourselves, in the form of any figure the likeness of male or female." He repeats this instruction immediately (4.23), and again at 5.8 as the Second Commandment. This is obviously really important, because we are prone to worship the graven image once we've made it. Masturbating to porn (see Roget's 1033.4; phallic worshiper), succumbing to the cult of celebrity (a celebrilator -- that I made up) because one wants to be on TV more than one loves God...
I have been thinking a lot lately about which one of us, Lynne or Luke, will arrive at the finish line of Yom Kippur having been less moral throughout the year.
Luke has behaved so well all year long, especially in print and towards Lynne; and in observing the Sabbath, avoiding fornication, not polluting his body with drugs and alcohol (other than that in homeopathic preparations -- though I hope you look for the ones which are nothing in water).
Lynne has been a real s--- toward Luke at points and doesn't observe the Sabbath unless it's an excuse to read or write instead of doing housework.
I try to avoid using deities as swear words, especially in writing and certainly out of courtesty to Luke. Verbally I slip sometimes. (Should the opportunity arise, I would try to call out the right guy's name in bed, not "god oh god oh god...") I have obeyed the Third Commandment. I have accepted no god other than Jehovah. I've accepted no god, and I avoid Lukolatry for my own mental health. (Luke, on the other hand, has a mental illness and must be forgiven for outbreaks of Lukolatry, and gently reminded of his priority of worship.)
The Fourth Commandment explicitly states who shall not be working on the Sabbath. It does not mention wife or mother. Whether this is because Moses speaks to both sexes equally or because he represents a god who understands that women (as opposed to daughters and maidservants) never really shut down. There's always a diaper to be changed, or a dog vomiting on the rug, or a diabetic who needs a glass of orange juice and therefore a trip to the market. One can decrease the amount of work by preparation, but the nurturing switch never flicks to "Off" in a loving woman.
I honor my parents by making a good life for myself despite their mistakes. I do not blame child sexual abuse for my problems. I help my brother, who had the same dysfunctional parents.
My irresponsibility toward my turtles resulted in death and disabiilty to their population. Not the same as an abortion or a murder, but very inappropriate, and I feel real bad about it. Nor did I kill anyone in the names of any gods, descriptions of which are rampant throughout Deuteronomy alone and an exception to the Fifth Commandment which I find offensively hypocritical. I would prefer, "You shall not kill, ESPECIALLY in my name."
Fornicated twice so far, once adulterously at least in terms of common law and/or emotional commitment, though not per biker law (once is totalled permitted; twice is not) or civil law. Also, I'm the only Jew involved, and that seems to mean something in terms of "how married is married."
I found four twelve-packs of soda underneath a cart in my parking lot, and kept them rather than turn them into the supermarket. They represented about $12.00. It was before my movie money from Zane came in. (They bought my movie and paid on time with a good check. I'm a girl, not a buddy of AVN, an FOL, and they fired me in 1998 for having the temerity to suggest I make movies for them! You must update your archives!)
Told no lies whatsoever involving anyone but myself, and that was on a job application where I took a risk and didn't get the job.
Again, coveting one's neighbor's husband isn't covered, but I haven't coveted anything but Luke for months. Luke belongs to the world at this point. I am guilty of sexual jealousy constantly, and although I rationalize it as wrong on account of Luke's happiness being paramount regardless of where it takes him, it's a bad habit and could turn into emotional adultery and coveting.
I have made no offerings but have eaten as much flesh as I've desired (Deut. 12.20) though I have broiled much of it in butter (14.21). Mostly, though, I've eaten sweets and frozen dinners. (As Bruce and I discovered in Arkansas when we spent the winter confined together in a motel room, pork does not agree with me. We feel it might be genetic.) I can't afford rock badger, but have smoked a few Camels.
I've had no bondsmen or women, which is good, because they might love me a whole lot and I don't think I could handle Deuteronomy 15.17. Not that I can afford paid help while I'm going to school but, should it come to pass, wouldn't going to the mall and having a professional do it be okay?
There's plenty of good stuff in here, Luke, and I could go on all day with you about it, but I'm sure that although I've f---ed up here and there (worn pants, but no jockstraps) I've made no major mistakes (certainly not grabbed anyone by the balls -- I need both hands to type!) other than two acts of fornication and my confusing feelings over our relationship.
The general consensus out in the world is that domestic "work" is unpaid work, therefore not really work. Feminists argue this point, theoretically at least, because patriarchal society takes advantage of it, and expects us to clean up after football games while men pray. Something like that, anyway.
Since I am not paid to write for l-keford.com, I don't consider it work. Putting a book together from Luke's Archives is work, but Luke's absolved me of it until after his Sabbath. Nurturing tiny lives in flower beds is not work, nor is scrubbing a filthy bathroom if one has just been graced with the tools to do it, and already took time off not only to read Deuteronomy but discuss it.
Giving love on the Sabbath...caring for those made in the Lord's image...is the antithesis of work. Making sure my brother has clean dishes is only an expression of love, not "work." I couldn't find the part where it says "obey all civil laws, no matter how stupid or contradictory" or where it says "don't go outside and smoke pot" so am going to take a break and check on the weather and build a couple of bookcases.
Please keep in mind that you have ethical responsibilities toward me as well. It occurs to me that might be a tool to cut through the emotional turmoil and disassociation. And an appropriate subject to discuss any day of the week.
Lots of platonic love, Lynne
PS: Luke, did you send curious to the mailbox to pick up your new fat boy boxer shorts?
PPS: Thanks to "Lana," we know what it means when Luke approaches you, tissue in hand. When Luke approaches you, tissue in one hand and lube in the other, a true Lukolater knows to turn over and stick one's butt in the air. Just for reference, you understand.
PPS 1. Smoking Cigarettes 2. Drinking Alcohol when I'm bored 3. Jacking with Luke's emotions/Sexual jealousy 4. Fornication 5. Smoking pot? 6. Ignoring the concept of a supernatural creator
The above seem to me to be my six biggest sins. Would you have noticed any to add? Not that I want any more, but I don't want Also, why should I have to be pushy to join a Jewish community but not "pushy" with a man?
Luke: Sometimes it is good to be pushy and sometimes it is bad. I think that women are usually more effective in getting what they want when they rely on their feminine virtues. I do think you should join the local Jewish community. Try a Reform temple.
Lynne: What is the date of the VSDA? And no, Luke, I would never dream of attending another industry event without your permission. After all, you are much cuter than Alec Wisner (the last person who told me not to go to an industry show) so I would never risk your disapproval over such an unimportant show.
Dear Gilles: Julie is a lovely woman. I had the pleasure to work with her several times and she is even more delightful in person than transcribed. Porn is indeed an excellent laboratory in which to learn about HIV transmission. Sharon Mitchell, who is no "deadwood desperado," has learned a lot over the past few years about STD's in the adult video industry. As you point out, being healthy in general means having a healthy immune system, which helps deter the transmission of all viruses. Infact anal and rectal tissue will make a positive difference if one should unfortunately be exposed to the HIV virus via the back door. Porn pop shots are external so we aren't talking about copious amounts of fluid exchange. What is sad is that the stigma of porn precludes decent academic research among the community. But then, maybe we aren't as ready for that kind of scrutiny as we want to be. HEY LUKE -- I wanted to say UP THE HERSHEY HIGHWAY but this lawsuit thing...
AMY STEINBERG Hey Ben, if I were a guy, I would think about marrying Amy. She is tall, good looking and Jewish. She doesn't hang out with losers, but prefers to date doctors and lawyers. I would teach her how to give head and eventually swallow. Anal I wouldn't worry about right away. We would have sex on Saturday night after our dinner out, and on Sunday morning (but she has to do the work), and at least once more during the week. Unfortunately, her feelings about pornography.are a little rough. And although I don't think she makes "pornography worse," neither do I think she's interested in be stopping it.
Amy, I don't know about you, but if I want to lie around the house and masturbate, I don't need porn. Throwing one's porn in the "TRASH" is extreme, plus it has to be done discreetly, or kids get in it and we spawn another generation. Box it up, put it in storage, I think this is a cop out. Like I said before, it's masturbation we mustn't get into. I know I should get out there and put together more of a social circle for myself, as school is mostly much younger people, and bikers are not my style, but with no time or energy to meet actual men, risk rape and boredom and a WOT, I'd rather masturbate and hang out on l-keford.com.
When you say, "Good porn is like good dope in that the more you have, the less motivation you have to do anything else in life and the more you will come to depend on it for pleasure," I wonder to which dope you refer. Before my husband was a "(p)orner," he was a drug pusher, and all he ever wanted was reliable customers. He didn't make their choices for them, any more than an awning salesman wants losers, dependent upon them for what they provide. And I never threatened HIM in the slightest.
If a "cloud of loserdom" hovers over males who do things like rent XX videos, what hovers over women who read novels in bed? Should we all be out in the social swirl of things, every spare moment, or can we jack off occasionally. Renting an adult video is only a "moral-crushing act" when the customer ends up with crap. No one ever had a moral crushed by one of MY movies.
"Never forget that women can spot a man who is a loser a mile off and that we will go out of our way to avoid him." TRUE.
"And even if he should make it through our radar, believe me, our friends are there to spot him for us and provide the necessary warning." CROSS OUR FINGERS. The net result is that you haven't got a prayer with us if porn is a big part of your life.
HEY, ALL MY FRIENDS LIKE PORN! (Oh, yeah, all my friends are losers. I'm not out on a date with a doctor, I'm spending Saturday night debating Amy Steinberg on l-keford.com, and responding to my friends via e-mail. Not getting laid, but not committing fornication and getting gonorrhea, either.)
Okay. I've thrown out all my porn. I no longer jack off six times a day. According to Amy, I should have some extra energy. Wait a minute! I'm still jacking off six times a day! Aha, there's the problem. I WILL do something with my life, starting with getting the rest of my body just as good shape as my masturbating hand. I will spend my cash on improving my superficial appearance. Soon I will be tall and thin and find a doctor of my own?
As John notes, Amy Steinberg said something positive.
John, as a woman, if I am not getting any male companionship and, although I don't use porn, still jack off twice a day, what shall I go "cold turkey" on and what shall I concentrate on which will eventually attract a guy? It's not like it takes more than twenty minutes a day, and I'm not real sure I want to attract guys. Most of them seem more trouble than they're worth, and they hate it when I'm pushy...
Lynne writes Tommy: I really like bi-sexual movies. There aren't enough of them. Unfortunately homophobia runs rampant among the heterosexual porn community. Most of this has to do with HIV and that gay performers aren't tested regularly; and, on the other hand, female performers don't always work with condoms and do risky things like facials. I don't know what Luke's opinions are on bisexuality or its cinema, but he feels no differently about it than he does about all porn -- it's there and it bores him.
Lynne: Based on your own opinion, would you please list a few "feminine virtues?" Biblical references are welcome. What do you consider "whining, whimpering and simpering?"
Luke: Modesty, compassion, gentleness, nurturing, commitment to family and the lifting up people below us who need help.
Lynne: "Whining, whimpering and simpering" are obviously out, then. You list six virtues, one for each of my sins. My commitment to the last five are obvious to all who know me. (I treat you well when I'm not making snotty remarks.) That leaves modesty.
Modesty applies to many facets of one's life, not just dress or nude exhibitionism in public, and I think it might also be applied to males. You have learned that I can turn my modesty off and on according to circumstance. Exposing my innermost thoughts and feelings, not to mention my body, on this site is not modest in the least, but for your sake, I have gotten used to it. It's not that big a deal. Yet you reward me for doing it with your attention. And you yourself seek celebrity, which is highly immodest; therefore a bad example for me.
You feel I should approach the Reform temple, if not life, in a womanly way. This means I behave like a "lady." If the temple is less than accepting, and it is not appropriate for a woman to be "pushy," then I must request the intervention of a man to approach them on my behalf. As was traditional -- a woman's husband, father, brother or son interacted on her behalf in the religious sphere. Widows should not be stranded on the outside of the Jewish community, trapped by by their own feminine virtues into being unable to fight for themselves, and with no men to stand for them. If I have no blood relative to speak for me, any fellow Jew is considered my brother, if I understand Moses correctly.
You are my second best friend, and the observant Jew closest to me. I will continue to search out my fellow Jews, but I may need a man's help in this. Since Jesus is a Jew in good standing, perhaps Lord PC,OBE would advise us -- WWJD?
John writes: Lynne, I'm not sure that Amy's cirticism of chronic masturbation and excessive porn use apply to females. Females are revered and desired just because they are females, as long as they are not totally unattractive. Even obese women have their admirers. Guys usually pursue women and not the other way around. Also, females can have unlimited sex; i.e., they don't have dicks that they have to get erect and keep erect, nor do they have a limited supply of sex juice like guys do. For example, say a guy can shoot three loads of cum a day. If he's spending it all on masturbation, he's probably not going to be pursuing women. I don't think Amy's talking about 20 minutes per day of jacking off. She's referring to two or three hours of feverish masturbation, I think. So in that way, masturbation, aided by porn, can seriously diminish a guy's chance of getting a real sex partner.
Lynne writes: It is nice to believe that females are revered and desired, but statistics show that in a patriarchal society they are more often harrassed, abused and ignored. I sense you do love women, and of course all women appeal in some way to someone. I hate pursuing guys, but I hate being alone even more, so am constantly offending. Females can only have unlimited sex if they are creative about it -- pussies do get sore and dry, but there's so much more. Even a man without an erection can pleasure a woman.
I agree that obsessive -compulsive masturbation isn't good, but going cold turkey on three orgasms daily, during two to three hours of feverish masturbation, three or more times a week, would be painful and unnecessary. Sometimes it seems like the choice is between all or nothing, and to a healthy young man, who may never find a partner who can match his desire, it seems like a WOT to stop jacking off for the mere potential of a relationship with a real person who will only satisfy a fraction of the sexual urge at best. But it isn't all or nothing -- moderate levels of masturbation are essential, either to supplement what sex is available, or to substitute sex isn't available at all. I'm NOT sure Amy is cool with the difference. When I am sitting modestly at home waiting for some nice man to ask me out on a celibate date, I can count on at least a few hour-long masturbation sessions that week in addition to the daily twenty minutes.
It would be much safer for me emotionally to be able to masturbate to an anonymous porn fantasy, but women don't seem to be wired that way, which is why Amy's criticism of porn doesn't translate across gender roles. But as much as I would resent someone telling me to stop masturbating and to dump my masturbation material, I'm concerned about Amy's approach to getting you losers back to the real world. I think her intentions are great, but the solution seems so drastic!
Lord Peter: Dear Luke: Please tell your friend Lynne that she would be welcome at any church in Portland, or anywhere else in Christendom, for that matter. In fact, there is no better place for the fallen sinner to be than in a church. Peter Luther Christian, OBE.
Lynne: Dear Luke: Please tell your friend Lord Peter that I know that Christians as well as Messianic Jews, BaHai and a bunch of other denominations would welcome me with open arms. But even if my desire to learn more about my culture and history is inspired by my curiosity as to your interest in it, I am also devoted to our ethical and moral, if not spiritual growth. Luke, though your conversion to Judaism may be nothing more than a fetish for boffing the chicks, please tell Lord P. I feel that my most moral choice, both for myself and my friend, Luke, is to pursue an understanding of my ethnicity and traditional religion. (As to fallen sinners, tell him we call them "losers" on l-keford.com, and they are always welcomed, providing they bring their own tissue.)
