Free Speech Coalition Rep Accused Of Smashing Competitor's Newsracks
Kat Sunlove serves as the Free Speech Coalition's lobbyist in Sacramento, succeeding Mike Ross. She also operates "The Spectator," a long running San Francisco Bay Area sex newspaper that once employed David Aaron Clark.
According to Yank.com, a competitor to the Spectator, Sunlove and company have been vandalizing their newsracks. They've got several sources backing up their claims.
This could be another nail in the coffin for the stumbling FSC, which recently invested $13,000 in a redesigned website but any visitor to www.freespeechcoalition.com can tell they did not get their money's worth.
I've emailed Sunlove for comment on the Yank.com story. Meanwhile, here are some excerpts from the stories on Yank.com:
See the article that caused Spectator Newspaper reps. to steal 1000’s of Yank Magazines from our newsracks. Not only were papers stolen, but a massive vandalism spree of painted out windows & sledge hammered racks ensued... Spectator Newspaper is published by a corporation whose president, Kat Sunlove, is a Free Speech lobbyist in Californias state capitol of Sacramento.
Spectator Magazine and its parent corporation Bold Type Inc. has profited mightily from the First Amendment. B.T.I. has even set up a legislative fund for it’s front person Kat Sunlove to lobby for free speech in California’s state capitol of Sacramento, yet at the very same time behind the scenes,
B.T.I. has also waged a nonstop war against Yanks 1st amendment rights. Here now is the sordid story of publisher Kat Sunlove’s Spectator newspaper and the men that hide behind her skirts, and how they have turned a blind eye to the massive assault by their representatives on Yank. Also covered, is how they have used innuendo and slander to inflame a core group of confidants with one purpose in mind, the destruction of Yank Magazine and the Bod-Father...
Yank’s expose in issue 268, on the five+ years of vandalism to our newsracks and massive theft of our newspapers by representatives of Spectator Magazine triggered an attempt by Spectator thugs to quash the story. Vandals smashed vending machines, painted out machine windows and stole 1,000’s of copies of Yank magazine all across the Bay Area. The sickening irony is that all this comes from a magazine whose publisher, Kat Sunlove, acts as a representative & lobbyist for free speech on behalf of the adult industry. The height of arrogance and hypocrisy that has been exhibited by B.T.I.’s publishing organization and it’s Executive Board makes one wonder if persons within their corporation are unhinged. WHY WOULD THE SPECTATOR - A SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA ICON OF FREE SPEECH - DO THESE ANTI FREE SPEECH ACTIONS?
Free Speech Coalition's Night of the Stars
About 30 porn stars showed up to Saturday night's FSC's Night of the Stars dinner-dance at the Petersen Automotive Museum on Fairfax Blvd in Los Angeles.
Attendees included FSC President Gloria Leonard, Nina Hartley, Vivid contract girl Taylor Hayes, Digital Playground's Tera Patrick, Lynn LeMay, Lexington Steele, Sean Michaels, Brad Armstrong, Alexa Rae, Joy King (Wicked PR), Shane, Kylie Ireland, TJ Hart, Nina Hartley, Shyla Foxxx...
FSC president Gloria Leonard writes Luke: "Well, you have indeed finally achieved the self-fulfilling prophecy of becoming "Hollow Man," 'cause I never even saw you on Saturday night which is probably, in part, why I enjoyed myself so much! Your presence, or lack thereof, is meaningless to everyone! Furthermore, our attendance was over 600 people, not the 200 you deigned to inscribe as truth. Despite your proclamations to the contrary, you are still a weasly, wimpy wannabee who wouldn't recognize the truth if it hit you upside your vacuous head."
Luke: According to the sources I talked to, turnout was the lowest in years, less than 200 persons. That also matches what I saw. Far more persons may have bought tickets than actually attended.
TooSedentary writes: Why are there so many errors when links to pictures are posted on your site? This is a consistent problem, but the number of mistakes on the July 30 page is truly unbelievable. Quite frustrating when one thinks he's going to a photo of a favorite starlet and it's not her, or worse yet, some man.
Meni: luke get a clue you suck at getting the images and links right you need Craig! hee hee
Rob: BTW is it my imagination or is Sharon Mitchell looking better and better with age? Your photos of her looked great and she was never my taste. WOW!
Curious writes: Let me be the first to congratulate you on another lf.com milestone . . . all of your captions finally matched your images. I felt like I was right there at the Night of 100 (minus 70) Stars event! Your growing professionalism continues to amaze me. Also isn't the Petersen Auto Museum where the Notorious B.I.G. got his ass capped?
John: About the photo showing Luke and Cumisha with Cumisha's dress pulled down: Nice Tits, Cumisha!
Lou Scorbick: Luke- You rule! Those Tera photos are a godsend, and a perfect way to "perk" up my Sunday! You can tell, watching her hold that wineglass, nose in the air, what an absolute nightmare she must be to date in real-life, but man oh man, the fantasies I have,... she's girl #1! Great job.
But I have to question your lack of editorial to accompany the pics. I believe you consider yourself a journalist. Yet I'm hard-pressed to find evidence of other roving reporters filing stories by just putting up a bunch of pictures. I know "a picture is worth a thousand words", and in Tera's case, a thousand other things too, but c'mon man, write some text! Do a 1st person report of the experience. Bring your readers with you, your thoughts, emotions, observations... take us there, Luke! Paint the picture properly! Inquiring minds want to know!
Luke: Dear Lou:
I took a trainload of emotional baggage to the Petersen Museum in the Mid-Wilshire district of Los Angeles Saturday night, arriving about 8PM, after most of the porners had already arrived and filed in to the dinner.
I felt awkward and scared and ready to be abused for the hasty and sometimes critical remarks I've made about various porners. In the past I have not always been as supportive of the Free Speech Coalition as perhaps I should.
I gingerly walk up and the first person I spot is FSC president Gloria Leonard. I fear that she will ban me. Or chase me with a stick and beat me. She does neither, but soon disappears inside.
I hang outside with three photographers. I have not laid the groundwork for a deep and fulfilling I-Thou wholehearted relationship with many of the porners streaming inside, including XXX. I've relayed gossip and made disparaging comments that seem to have created tension between me and my subjects and hardened our hearts towards each other.
I feel a chill in the summer air. Porners, where's the love?
Porners inside the Petersen Museum are just as real as I am, with just as many hopes, dreams and aspirations as I. They have as many friends, if not more, and are just as sensitive to slights. Yet I have erected barriers between my heart and theirs. I have thrown up obstacles to a true communing of souls. I have built walls and battlements and scaled vast heights of rhetorical excess so that I could throw down boulders of venom on these fellow cripples.
Now, for the first time in months, I must look them in the eye and see the pain that I have inflicted. And I must find a way to bring healing, to apply a balm to the wounds that come from l-keford.com, so that I can secure a morsel or two of scoop to bring to my readers.
Lots of porners who I know pass by but I dare not approach them for I don't think they will talk to me - AVN publisher Paul Fishbein, Vivid owner Steve Hirsch, Bill Margold... In fact, about half of the white Jews in the industry hate me. To the best of my knowledge however I have cordial relations with every black in the industry of which I am aware.
Talk busty blonde Lynne LeMay walks by. We had deep heart to heart talks on the phone over four years ago but have not communicated since. I think I wrote a good profile of her. I thought we'd achieved a profound communication in February of 1996. She had asked me dancing that Friday night and I had asked her to synagogue. Neither worked out.
Tonight I introduce myself in person to Lynne. She has a start of recognition and then puts her hands around my neck and to gently choke me. "We have to talk," she says and walks off. Oh no, another person I've alienated. A potential friend I've lost. I'm so alone in the universe. From whence will my salvation come?
Tonight it comes from Marc Medoff, an amiable 44 year old who seems to get along with most everybody. He owns adultpresservice.com.
Marc pulls me through the night, talking to me in a place nobody else will. He makes jokes. I relax a tad.
I first met Medoff on a Steve St. Croix Vivid shoot in the Spring of 1996, the same day I met Anna Malle, Dyanna Lauren, Celeste, and others. I was carrying around my book contract from Barclay House to prove my bona fides. Unlike now, I was highly insecure in those days.
Marc: "Oh yea, you were running around with a book contract so that we didn't think you were one of those sclubs on sets..."
Marc lives his life in service to the adult industry, from producers to fans. He spends about a week a month in New York, a week a month in Los Angeles and then the rest of the time prowling the world looking for pussy. He takes photos for various magazines and writes funny insightful stories. He also serves as a liason between pornographers and the local porn scene from Poland to Rio De Janeiro.
Medoff's mom still thinks he works as a lawyer.
Some porners come out complaining about the long boring speeches and lack of alcohol and the delay to get food.
Seka walks by and none of us recognize her to take pictures. Bill Margold comes over and castigates us as morons.
We see her walk into the building. She has her trademark platinum blonde hair and appears in good shape, not like the fatty she was a few years ago. She looks hard.
A Scottish TV crew comes by and interviews Medoff who's good for a soundbite.
Marc: "The streets are very natural to me. The filth, the dirt, the grime... We've been shooting the porn stars as they've been coming in. Most of them have come in already... About 40 girls so far. The show is about to start. What I do is I stay out here and try to catch whoever might be coming in and get them to flash a tit or pussy. That's a good luck item. When we're sure everybody is inside, we'll go in there. When they start drinking, they'll start taking more clothes off and we'll get the good photo ops."
I prefer it that the porn stars do not flash.
The consensus is that the turnout is the lowest in years.
Max Hardcore comes through "peculiarly alone," in the words of Medoff. Normally Max is a master of the photo op.
Marc asked Max to smile for a picture. "Can you say rapist?" Max did not see the humor.
At 8:45PM, Marc David, sporting a shaved head, drives away.
Stephanie Swift shows up at 9PM with her 18- year old boyfriend. They'd run out of gas a mile or two up the road.
When it comes time for photos, Stephanie and her date part ways. I respect their privacy and upon their request, do not take pictures of the lucky lad.
A tall man in his 40s, wearing extravagant clothes and a top hat, approaches each porn star as she arrives. Marc has seen this guy at porn events for a decade but has no idea who he is. It turns out that he is Flashman, who's called me on the phone a few times.
Flashman: "I book feature dancers to dance in the top gentlemens clubs... I book the Bunny Ranch. I produce adult movies. And we have the Sex Files Show [community access, like Talking Blue and Colin's Sleazy Friends] which is on in 31 cities. I'm on Taxicab Confessions, Shock Video and Dr Suzan Block and Real Sex."
I spot Edward Wedelstedt walking out. He is perhaps the most powerful man in porn. I'm scared to introduce myself. I'm scared to take a picture. I stand dumbly then approach him.
Luke: "Hi. Mr Wedelstedt."
I extend my hand.
Luke: "You may not want to shake my hand..."
Wedelstedt shakes my hand.
Luke: "My name is Luke F-rd."
Eddie W moves away. "You've written a lot of nasty things about me. I've never done anything to you son. But you've got the right."
He looks healthy and in great shape.
After 9:15PM, Steve Hirsch and his girlfriend (sales gal at Chris Mann's Video Team) and his assistants, including internet honcho David Schlessinger.
At 9:20 PM, Paul Fishbein walks out with his beautiful blonde wife Kymberly, who runs cable sales at VCA.
Fishbein tells Medoff, nobody wants pictures of me. Then Paul spots me, starts, snorts and raises a folder to his face to mess up my photo. Mr and Mrs Fishbein drive away in a beautiful Jaguar.
At 9:30 PM, Steve Orenstein walks out with the love of his life for the past two years, Joy King's beautiful tall blonde younger sister.
Notice the similarly timed exits of these porn leaders? They must be headed for a secret rendezvous to make plots against the public interest, such as price fixing and AVN Awards fixing.
Marc: "We're going to start doing some ads in AVN, set up a whole separate business of project management. We're creating a division of APS (Adult Press Service.com). Instead, we'll call it the Adult XXX Brasil Service. And for companies that want to shoot in Brasil but don't know how to do it, where to do it, how not to get ripped off, the ins and outs... We've been doing it for two years and making every mistake you can make and now we know how not to make them again.
"Brasil is a great place to shoot. The girls are dirt cheap. They'll do hardcore anal no condom for $300. They're gorgeous, 18, 19-years old. Gorgeous locations. Pornography is legal. Prostitution is legal. A perfect country to produce porno. But companies that don't know what to do and how to hook it up, they can come with us. They pay us and we hook them up. Not just pornographers, but also photographers who want to do layouts.
"There's keen intense competition in LA between photographers over who will get the new young girls first. Well, go to Brasil. There's no competition. You can have all you want. Hot and cold running gorgeous chicks. Not to mention, if you're personally into it. I'd say in the month of June, 30 days, I had sex with 23, 24 different girls. I had more sex in June than in the first 39 years of my life [when Marc then met Luke and his sex life dramatically improved].
"In June we helped Jim Gunn Productions. We've gone down there with Arrow. A lot of people want to go down but they're nervous. They don't know what to do but we're going to help them.
"We've gone in and out of the country for two years with no problems. Nobody cares. It is the funniest customs situation in the world. I might have 1500 rolls of film. Massive suitcases. They go, what is this for? I say, it is for my personal use. Not professional? No, no. I just like to take a couple of shots here and there. OK, click, you're through.
"Jim Gunn's there with massive equipment and lighting. What's it for? Oh, just personal. It's a hobby. I work in a Post Office. You could have a dead body in your luggage. What's that doing there? Oh nothing."
Luke: "What would happen if you said the equipment was for professional reasons?"
Marc: "Whenever you enter any country, when you go there to work, that creates a whole separate circumstance. You have to get a special visa. You just can't go into a country and work. Being a tourist is one thing.
"It's a great country. I love the people. Beautiful year round weather. Beautiful beaches. Beautiful girls. It's dirt cheap. You can fly roundtip from LA for $420. It's cheaper to go LA to Rio than LA to New York.
"We go down to Brasil every other month for two to four weeks. We shoot our own layouts and project manage for people... We're looking to buy a house down there. We also go to Cuba and Colombia in September. Everybody's afraid to go there because of the revolution but we ain't afraid. So we're going to these uncharted waters of pornography. We're setting up a deal now in Poland. In Poland, pornography is legal but there is no pornography industry because the country is so landlocked intellectually because you have the church. But Polish girls are f---ing gorgeous. Unbelievable. Somebody has got to go there and exploit it. We're looking to do that.
"The whole APS operation is moving more overseas. We were in Poland in May for two weeks with Houston. We made a lot of valuable contacts. A country of gorgeous chicks. The country is ripe to be taken. Somebody just has to exploit it properly. We're setting it up with people there to bring video companies... There are no Polish porn stars.
"Places like the Czech Republic and Hungary are all played out already. We're looking for the new frontier to do our thing. Press coverage of what is going on there and project management to facilitate people who want to shoot."
Flashman gives me a pass into the show and I gingerly enter, keeping my eyes peeled for possible attackers. Flash loudly proclaims my virtues to every recognizable porner we pass. I cringe.
Flashman: "Even though a lot of people said he wasn't he turned out to be a great guy. Luke F-rd has the greatest website ever. It's even as good as Gene Ross's. We'll get some pictures of me and Luke at the table. This is great."
Luke: I and my readers thank Flashman for getting me into the show so I could get some more pictures and copy.
I wander around the different tables and find Flashman's table is right next to Metro Home Video. I cringe. I sit next to Gabor, who owns Heatwave. The Hungarian blonde Jew greets me enthusiastically and introduces me to his new star, a tall black girl named Kitten. We talk about Lynne L-patin.
Next to us, Mike Horner chats with Shawn Ricks and his girlfriend Jill.
I wander around and spot a familar and friendly face. Gene Ross. He's talking to a tall blonde. I snap his picture. He smiles. I relax inside and sit down beside him.
The tall blonde turns out to be a former stripper turned talkshow host on KSexradio.com. Someone with just the job I want.
She asks me who I am and Gene explains. It becomes a long therapy session whereby I get to express and sort through many of my feelings for my tall muscular competitor. I won't let Alexis leave the table. I feel a great need to talk, to explain why I attacked Gene and why we're now friends. I need the validation of Gene's company to show that I have friends and that I belong in this group.
Gene explains to Alexis the differences between us and ten minutes into the conversation, I start taping.
Gene: "I write for the industry, for producers...whereas he [Luke] writes for the fans. His stuff is specifically aimed for their psyche so he tends to try to stir s--- up more, because that's what they like. The industry wants to read for information on who's doing what shoot and who's signing who to a contract..."
Alexis: "You're [Gene] like the Oprah of it all and you're [Luke] like Sally Jesse Raphael."
Luke: "I'm always called the Matt Drudge."
Gene: "He's the Jerry Springer..."
Alexis: "Jerry Springer? That's out there."
Luke: "I make Matt Drudge look like Bob Woodward."
Alexis: "I don't know the names. I'm sorry."
Gene explains who Matt Drudge is and his role in breaking the Monica Lewinsky affair.
Luke: "I write more as an outsider rebel psychopath."
Alexis: "Oh, good to know you."
Luke: "And Gene writes more as the responsible dean of porn journalism."
Gene: "I should have a pipe."
Luke: "I used to have a more insider site, about two years ago. I had more insights and information and I was on friendlier terms with the industry. And then I got nasty and burned too many bridges and lots a lot of sources and..."
Alexis: "People don't trust you."
Luke: "Right. And they won't talk to me."
Gene: "And strangely, to his credit, he's very forthright about it."
Alexis: "No bones about it. So do you think you can keep up your style like this and continue?"
Long pause.
Luke: "That's a really good question."
Gene: "I think Luke will tell you... A lot of people don't realize that doing a daily website takes a lot out of you physically and mentally. People don't realize what you have to invest into it. Now I do it within a certain timeframe that accomodates AVN's working schedule. He'll put in backend hours. He has the latitutude to post from his house or whatever..."
Luke: "Gene's more 9-5..."
Gene: "I start about 6am..."
Luke: "And I will update at 3AM or ten times a day varying... Or I will go to Israel for a few weeks and just update once a day. I wrote a lot about experiencing Israel..."
Alexis: "In the adult industry?"
Luke: "No, in general."
Alexis: "Do you personally have a disdain for the adult industry?"
Luke: "Yeah."
Alexis: "Why?"
Luke: "I think it undermines the moral fibre of individuals and communities and countries."
Alexis: "You assume to know what the moral fibre is. So what is being undermined?"
Luke: "I believe in a traditional Biblical Jewish Christian understanding of sexual morality that it should be saved for marriage and that it should not be used for entertainment. And I view all deviations from that ideal as sinful to varying degrees."
Alexis: "Wow, I see why you would antagonize, if you have that."
Luke laps up the attention of a beautiful intelligent female.
Gene: "Of course he won't hesitate to go skinny dipping from time to time with somebody and post the pictures on his website."
Alexis: "Why is that ok Luke?"
Luke: "I'm not saying it is ok. I am a hypocrite."
Alexis giggles: "You're a sinner."
Luke: "I do not live up to the ideals of Biblical Jewish morality."
More giggles.
Alexis's male friend: "You can aspire to it..."
Luke: "I get sucked into sin."
Gene looks at my plastic band around my wrist which gained me entrance.
Gene: "Luke, I notice that they gave the journalists the green band and you the pink band. What's the statement there?"
Luke: "I shouldn't be here but someone took mercy on me..."
Gene: "Is that so? Did you tin cup it on the outside?"
Luke: "I wasn't looking to get in. But this is a dynamic that goes on all the time. I'm banned from a lot of events. And not undeservedly so. Because I am not a friend of the industry."
Alexis: "Well, but the industry is fairly open minded. They should allow all viewpoints."
Gene: "They do. But I think that Luke was more than what a lot of people bargained for."
Luke: "I've been pretty harsh on a lot of people. For instance, every time I write a story about Metro Home Video, I point out that they were convicted in January of 1997 for working with the Mafia. So I bash them over the head with that all the time. I dredge up a lot of stuff that people would rather leave in the past."
Alexis: "So if you are starting to see an end to the contacts you've had because of this bashing, what will you do next?"
Luke: "That's a really good question. I'd love to move to Israel and enroll in a yeshiva (Jewish Talmudic academy) but I don't know how I could do that financially. I'm struggling with my own internet radio show which is technically inept. I believe that could develop. I enjoy talking with people and pontificating.
"Gene and I go back four years. When I was first getting into the industry, I called him looking for help. Even before that, I sent him a picture..."
Gene: "He sends me a resume with what's tantamount to an 8x10 glossy. And I'm going, what the hell is this s--- about? And I'm looking at this picture and staring at it and I am saying, usually writers who are looking for a position somewhere are not sending 8x10 glossies of themselves."
Alexis: "Were you naked?"
Luke: "No."
Gene: "I just stared at this thing. Then a couple of weeks later, he called me out of the clear blue and all of a sudden the name registered. And I go, wait a second. I'm talking to the guy who just sent me that freakin' 8x10 glossy. That arrogant piece of s---. How dare he send me an 8x10 glossy. So I busted his ass. I busted his balls. How dare you send me a glossy?"
Luke: "And I hated him. I was just new to researching the industry and I was looking for contacts. I was intimidated by everyone and scared and insecure and I knew who he was. I was calling Adult Video News, trying to get access to their past issues. And Gene answered the phone at 8:30AM."
Gene: "And I love to bust balls."
Luke: "And he busted my balls and I hated him. I was the outsider trying to get information. And I just hated Gene. Then a year went by, and an AIDS story broke in which I had played a role on the internet. And Gene included a sentence about "internet gossipmonger Luke F-rd..." So I got some attention. Then another year went by, and I started breaking stories on AIDS cases within the industry. I had a whole run where I was the first person to break the news. And I wanted to be the first person to break the news while Gene and AVN had a more responsible approach because they work for the good of the industry. So they're not ringing bells, hey we've got AIDS."
Gene: "Also, the advantage that he had was that he was a daily thing. We had a three month lagtime. To his credit, he really got it going."
Alexis: "Did you bill yourself as a gossip columnist?"
Luke: "No. I got called that real quick. I started out to write a serious history of the industry... And it turned out that writing a book was not one of my strong points. I had never written a book before... And I developed a website out of thousands of pages of notes. Then I got news about an HIV breakout and I started updating daily. I was real sloppy. People would send me information and I would publish it without verifying it. Then Gene weighed in in June of 1998 with an editorial in AVN saying how irresponsible I was. That I was a dark sinister force in the industry."
Alexis: "Do you agree with that?"
Luke: "I thought he overstated a tad. And it made me hate him even more."
Gene: "I can't imagine why."
Luke: "I thought. I will get him one of these days. And I bade my time, and basked in the attention because I have a Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I am very needy for attention. Then we did a radio debate together in August of 1998."
Gene: "Oh God, yeah."
Luke: "It was the first time we met. We had a debate..."
Gene: "It really wasn't a fair debate because there were a ton of people who were crowded into that room. It was on the Ed Powers Show and Ed had a bunch of T&A girls there... It was a circus more than a debate. Ed would throw out some stuff. Then I would comment and Luke would comment. Somebody would throw in their two cents... It became a verbal free for all. I started calling him the Son of Lucretia Borgia and a few other things."
Luke: "And he said he wanted to see me star in a snuff film."
Alexis gasps: "Oh, you didn't?"
Luke: "I've said things just as inflammatory."
Gene: "How did that come out?"
Luke: "Ed said, Gene, would you like to see Luke star in a porn film? And you said, yeah, a snuff film."
Gene: "Because that was one of the subjects on Luke's site. So that was the first thing that came to my mind. I wouldn't necessarily wish him harm or anything."
Luke: "I was scared when I met him that he would beat me up but that probably says more about my psyche than it does about him. I was really scared that evening. I walk around scared. I'm scared here tonight."
Alexis: "Have you been sued?"
Luke: "Yeah, three times."
Alexis: "That's it?"
Luke: "Yeah, they're all in process. I've been knocked around a couple of times by two other porn journalists."
Alexis: "Is it because you don't print the truth or is it because you don't like what people are doing and you say that?"
Luke: "People take strong exception to me because I hurt their feelings and possibly damage their careers..."
Alexis: "You damage their careers? That's a lot of credit to take."
Luke: "I make people afraid that I might damage their careers. What would you say Gene? Do I damage people's careers?"
Gene: "It becomes a matter of interpretation. The only thing that I saw that was really damaging was when you started printing real names. But other than that, if people want to buy into the whole publicity machine, they have to buy into the residual effects of it too. You pay your money and you take your chances. If you want to become a celebrity, you have to accept what goes with celebrity. Celebrities will tell you that they are not too happy with a lot of the stuff that goes along with it."
Luke: "A dynamic built up that as I wrote things, I increasingly antagonized and burned more and more bridges within the adult industry. Then I became more and more scared to even call people in the industry because when I do it, I get abused. Then because I was scared to call people, I wasn't verifying stuff, and the dynamic built on itself. Then, people use me to hurt other people in the industry.
"Once, a friend of mine, Rob Spallone [LF: Hey Rob, call me], wanted to go after Gene Ross because Gene wouldn't publish a story that Rob wanted published. So Rob told me that he caught Gene jerking off on a porn set..."
Gene: "It was totally bizarre..."
Luke: "And so I, with great trepidation, called Gene to get his side of the story. I thought that Gene was just going to abuse me and hang up on me. But I felt like I really had an obligation here because this goes beyond the pale of what even I normally publish. And Gene was cordial to me. Then, I started calling him regularly and we developed a friendly relationship and we let bygones be bygones and we became quite friendly. And I almost went to work for his magazine Adult Video News. But in the final analysis, Paul Fishbein, AVN owner, decided not to take a chance on me.
"Instead, he gave Gene his own website, GeneRoss.com, to provide a more responsible... Until that point, I was the premier source of information on the internet. Would you say so, Gene?"
Gene: "Yeah. But now there are all kinds of Johnny come latelys... There are tons of websites trying to do what we're trying to do. I think we still have a foothold but there are a lot of sites...but basically they're conduits for news releases..."
Luke: "He started GeneRoss.com March 1st and I had an existential crisis. Why should I do what I do when Gene Ross is doing it? Because I thought I was providing a service of pulling away facades and revealing what really went on..."
Gene: "When you approach this with any amount of seriousness, you're going to be competitive. You want to feel like you have the market cornered on everything. But because there is so much stuff to write about, you're not going to get the market cornered. But still, little nooks and crannies that you've missed, and he gets it, you go, oh jeez. It's a healthy competition. I have nothing against what Luke does as long as he does it honorably and honestly."
Alexis: "That's asking too much, it sounds like?"
Gene: "Here's what I sensed was happening... And he points out... He was being used by a lot of people in the business."
Alexis: "For what purpose?"
Luke: "To hurt other people."
Gene: "To hurt other people. They would manipulate him to get leverage on someone else."
Alexis: "They knew you wouldn't check your source, huh?"
Luke: "They knew that I would publish anything that someone would send me."
Gene: "I got pissed off at that... One of the things that I saw, that was laughable to me, that being relatively new to the business, he wasn't privy to the urban legends industry. Over the years, you've heard these stories... Everything was new to him. Hence being new to him, it all became headline stuff. I'd read it on his site and go, Oh Jesus Luke, you just got dicked by this guy. He just had you."
Luke: "By urban legends, do you mean things that are true or not true?"
Gene: "Not true but stuff that just became legendary. But it was all new to him for the first time but it was maybe the fifth or sixth go around for the story but it would be up there as a headline story. And I would go, Oh Luke, you got had."
Luke: "I think Gene would view this as just another entertainment industry and I view this as a particularly pernicious bunch of ex-cons, ex-drug dealers, Mafia associates... I see more of a role for nefarious forces such as organized crime in the industry. Gene doesn't see it. Is that fair?"
Gene: "I've heard all the same stories that he has and I really wouldn't care one way or another if they were true or not. To me it is irrelevant. I make a living from the business and I am not on any crusade to clean up the industry. What are you going to do? Clean up the porno industry? This is the product they make. Let's be realistic about it. If certain stories are true, it has no relevance. I wasn't involved in it. I wasn't in the middle of it. And a lot of it happened, if it did happen, a long time ago and a lot of the people aren't around anymore to attest..."
Luke: "To me, if there is anyone here tonight that worked in any capacity with organized crime 15 years ago, that's a story. I'd be all over it and slamming it. There was a book that came out two years ago that alleged that Russell Hampshire, who owns VCA, one of the biggest companies, had tried to hire [in 1980] a Mafia hitman to murder his business partner at the time, Walter Gernert."
Alexis: "And you heard that story as well?"
Gene: "Like I said, that's part of the legend of the business."
Luke: "It was published in a book. And I held off on the story for six months because Russell was a good source for me. Then I did independent checking of my own and I ran the story. Since then, I've lost that source. Nobody else in the porn journalism world would run that story but for me that is the stuff that I love."
Alexis: "That's the stuff that gets you killed."
Luke: "It's stuff that scares me to death and gets my adrenalin pumping but Gene couldn't give a hoot."
Alexis: "It is irrelevant to the truth he's printing. It's not about who's making films."
Luke: "If I found someone from 40 years ago who had an arrest for something scandalous, that is immediate news today. But Gene doesn't dredge up the past."
Alexis: "Do you think you will continue this friendly relationship?"
Luke: "Yes because anything you can say about the other person we've already said. Gene slammed me pretty good in his AVN editorials and I slammed him pretty good. There's nothing nastier we could say."
Gene: "I see us going in two separate directions. He covers the internet more. He goes into moral philosophy."
Alexis: "And you're not about that?"
Gene: "If there is an issue that is particularly privy to me, I might take some time out to study it... But I am not there to voice my opinion. I am there to give everybody else a voice and allow them to talk. I just report. As managing editor of AVN, I spent a good ten years editorializing anyway. Everything that I've ever wanted to say about the business, I pretty much have in the editorial format of the magazine. And I don't use the website to do that. It would just be going over the old issues, and it would be nyah, nyah, nyah, oh I told you so... In my editorial in 1991, I said this and I was right..."
Luke: "And I've read all those. I've gone through all the back issues of AVN and read them. I've read all his editorials, sometimes several times, and I've picked through for sentences and paragraphs to roast him on. I've published about 100 pages on Gene Ross. He is one of my male porn stars. I have more on Gene Ross than 98% of porn stars. Because I find him more interesting than most porn stars. He's more intelligent."
Gene: "Did you watch the [Tera Patrick] internet broadcast the other night?"
Luke: "No. I heard it was hard to get on."
Gene: "It was a riot."
Fred: Who did you talk to when you were at night of the stars? Looks like you spent some time talking to Cumisha Amado. hat's she doing now-a-days? Looks like she was glad to see you in the picture at the back of the elevator. How well do you know her? What's she like?
Just out of curiosity, I note that Seka was at the night of the stars. What did she do with her life after her porn career? Was she able to "melt back into society" and maintain anonymity?
Luke: Dunno about Seka. She certainly looks nothing like a porn star anymore, so she could probably achieve anonymity. I talked with Flashman and Gabor from Heatwave.
Cumisha told me all about this company in Europe "Erotic Media" (out of Zurich, Switzerland) which has hired her as a spokesmodel. They're supposedly buying up most of the American high end projects from Wicked, Vivid and VCA to resell in Europe. Amado will represent Erotic Media at the Venus Film Festival in Germany November 2, 3.
Fred: Actually, as a follow-up question, it would be interesting to know what Richard Pacheco's life was like after he left porn. What the hell does one do with one's life at such a time? When you apply for jobs, what do you put on your resume to account for your existence over a 5 or 6 year period? What does he do for a living? Can he melt back into society in reasonable anonymity? Is he still married?
Luke: Read my Richard Pacheco profile. He was married when he left porn. He did some odd jobs writing and helped raise the kids.
Aghast's Fantasy Triple Play
Curious inquires of Luke: Which will you be attending on Saturday: Mona's bukkake-fest in San Diego, the Free Speech Coalition's Night of the Stars fundraiser dinner, or the Brad Pitt / Jennifer Aniston wedding in Malibu?
Luke: I was planning on staying home until I received your email and decided that as the Petersen was just 10 minutes drive away, I'd head over there at the conclusion of the Holy Sabbath.
Aghast writes: I'm afraid out of the three invitations you received for Saturday (Mona's bukkake, the Pitt / Aniston wedding, and the Night of 100 Backslappers) you chose to attend the dullest event. A bunch of porners all dressed up and trying to act important sounds mildly amusing for about 5 minutes at the maximum.
Wouldn't it have been great if all three events were combined into one big media splash? Brad and Jennifer get married in the presence of all the porners at the Free Speech Coalition party and then all the honored guests celebrate by jacking off on to Mona's smiling mug with the lucky groom going first. Then at the conclusion of the bukkake Gene Ross would reach over and wipe off Mona's dripping face with his golden toupee. Now that's a web cast I would pay for!
ps You should have invited PJG to the gala. Chicks love to get all dressed up and dance.
pss Be honest, at these industry events do you feel nervous using the same toilets as the porners? I think I would pass out holding it before I'd let my ass make contact with a toilet seat warmed by Max Hardcore. Ugh!
AVN Expo Photos
These came from Kevin Moore at StunningCurves.com.
Curious chastises: I love and respect Kevin Moore's site Stunning Curves, but Kevin, Kevin, Kevin. That picture of you at AVN Expo interviewing Cheyenne Silver! You look like a Trekkie doing a tricorder reading! Luke, hook up old Kevin up with your tailor. Will you, please?
Kevin: Curious, You have to remember that unlike the highly moral Mr. Ford, I'm not at these places to try and get laid. I'm there from the time the show opens to right when it closes for news bits and lots of photos. I have to be comfortable. If it means a shirt and some slacks so be it. Also I'd be very afraid of Luke's tailor. I have no interest in attracting men or older women.
Kira Eggers Objects To Her Appearance On l-keford.com
On Wednesday, I posted photos I'd received from the latest AVN Expo. Many of the photos starred Danish nude model Kira Eggers. It turns out that they were from her private camera and that she strongly objected to them appearing on my site. I have since removed them.
Kira Eggers writes Luke: Ok. Now i recieve mails from people, telling me its great, that im doing movies now..fantastic...but im not!!! Why on earth do you publish my private fotos on your website?? How degrading is that??
Im a god d... editor on a damn field trip to Vegas, and now in splattered out on you extremely s---ty site. No wonder you have a bad reputation in this business. And half the people's names wrong ( or you dont have them)....because its not your pictures!!!
Jesus, would you get a damn life of your own, then it would be so interesting digging into others. And with a little respect for yourself, and others, use your own pics instead of stealing others. The least thing you could do was ask. But maybe youre used to being around people who dont give a f--- about who they take a load on. Im not. Im obviously not as f---ed up in the head as you are. Actually, i do care, also i care about the people in the photos, some of them happens to be my friends.
Do you know who i am?? No, you dont actually, and i would like for you not to give out the impression that you do, because a lowlife pathetic piece of sorry dick like you is NOT in my category...got that?
I hope i never see your face for real, because i hate having my day ruined by throw ups and illness! Sorry im not as careless as you, sorry im more human. Sorry that i like hanging around fun people...that are fun enough to give my pictures to you. Stupid, very stupid and not very thoughtful. Too bad i trust the wrong people sometimes. But again: I'd rather not be a spoiled human being, cold and shameless. I will still trust people and be nice, thats how i was brought up.
I assume you dont know the feeling.
I suggest you get those pics out of there, otherwise, get busy building another site. You will hate me for the rest of my life, if you dont. Kira
Luke: Someone sent me the photos to publish on my site. That happens all the time. I had no idea they were your private photos and that you would object to the publishing of them. Since you do object, I will take them down.
You're right. I have no idea who you are.
Shawn: You shouldn't consider her a Danish celebrity. More publicly known as braindead. She has been Stripper of the Ýear in Denmark, and is known through a docu-soap TV-Show about strippers and for filling the bimbo-role in a radiotalkshow. http://www.kiraeggers.dk/ is her unofficial fansite with some interesting pictures of her. She has in the media claimed that she does not do porn. Holding a hard cock or having it between her tits while a photographer shoots his roll of film apparently isn't porn to her. She is "editor" of danish Yahoo-ripoff site, Jubii's erotic section http://kanal.jubii.dk/erotik/
John writes: Hey Kira, screw yourself you dumb cunt. You're a freakin' cry baby. Who gives a s--- about you or your pictures?
Concerned advises: Regarding the grouchy Ms. Eggers and her rude response to your innocent posting of her porn convention photos. I too had no idea of who she was so I did a little snooping and discovered that Kira Eggers is some sort of Danish "celebrity." She apparently hosts some sort of TV program in Denmark. Well, no wonder she was so enraged by the posting of those fully clothed photos of her on a porn gossip site! Exposure like this could ruin her wholesome TV image, or could it?
A little further searching revealed copious amounts of other photos of the supposedly porn media shy Ms. Eggers.
I encourage all of l-keford.com's cyber citizens to go to http://home5.inet.tele.dk/mortent/index2.html to luridly gape at 75 different photos of Kira's beautiful full breasts, firm rounded buttocks, and luscious looking vagina. Kira! My penis salutes you!
ps My personal favorite is photo # 50. Va-Va-Va-Voom!
Amused writes: So this Kira chick is from Denmark? That explains her appalling ignorance. She is apparently unaware that the entirety of the United States media is actually controlled by a small Jewish cabal headed up by, none other than, Luke F-rd. Bitch, if you ever want to crossover to any form of American success you had better apologize to Luke now! I vote for photo # 33 as the sexiest Kira twat shot.
Kira-phile writes: Help! I am now hopelessly smitten with the sensual Danish erotic superstar, Kira Eggert! I am in the process of composing a heart felt letter of pure devotion to my new Danish honey and I require the help of the entire lf.com community. Does anybody know how to say "I yearn to spit lovingly into your beautifully dilated anus." in Danish? Thanks. Also check out this hot Kira nudie site at http://hjem.get2net.dk/olsen/kira/main.htm
Brian Kushner writes: If that chick is an editor I'd love to see what she's editing... She sounds like a real CUNT...IF she wrote me that email I'd leave the pictures up there forever. f--- that bitch...
Luke: I surfed to http://www.mysterri.com/Models/Female/female.html and read this quote from Kira: ""I am 25 now, and i would like to do more with my life, so i dont end up like a worn out girl with lost ambitions! I love to work as a model. I excersise everyday, which makes me feel so much better and confident. I am a very happy individual, and have a possitive attitude towards new challenges, thats how all my dreams came true...."

Kira Eggers Replies To Her Critics
Kira Eggers writes Luke Sunday: Why dont you get your facts straight for once in your "career??" I do not host a tv show...
And yes, im a cunt and im proud of it.. If i wasnt, i wouldnt have achieved anything in this life.. Like " Johnny boy" who commented on me.
Thanks for the compliments...keep it coming.
Ohh, by the way..why dont you paste this and put in on your site..
Small ego-small pecker. Tough s---, huh?? Kira
The Secret Of Success
Amused writes: So now we know the secret of Kira's success, "... I'm a cunt and I'm proud of it ... If I wasn't, I wouldn't have achieved anything in this life ... " Luke, why don't you try being more "cuntish" and see if that helps propel you to level of stardom that Ms. Eggers enjoys.
BTW if her main accomplishments are moderating a website with sexual content and hosting a web radio show then you have already equaled her celebrity status. You will have to play catch up on the being photographed with a cock between your tits though.
Remember: THINK CUNT!
Luke writes Kira: I do have a small ego and a small pecker. Any ideas on how I can enlarge both?
By the way, I think you're very beautiful. Not how I pictured a Dane.
What does your job as an editor entail?
Kira writes back: NOW you ask why dont you check it out?? www.jubii.dk
You might set off some time to read it, it will probably take you the rest of the day... Enjoy. Kira
And this also..this im very proud of! http://welcome.to/rodnik-aarhus Kira
Ps. Please pay a notice to the little mermaid, they made that from Jenna Jameson.
Junior Reporter Curious details: Here's the scoop on Ms. Eggers. It appears that she is the editor of the erotic content side of a Danish Yahoo-like site called "Jubii" ( pronounced JEW - BE . . . hmmm . . . could she BE a JEW?). The site is decorated with cute little Betty Boop style cartoons of the cranky Ms. Eggers, no doubt, to appeal to her younger fans. The site has some recent photos of Kira and various American porners in Hollywood!
Actually, the first article leads off with a photo of a very psychotic looking Randy Spears holding up a t-shirt he has autographed to Kira. The article has all of porn's usual subjects named: Michael Raven, Sydney Steele, Katja Kean, Terri Summer, Michael J. Coxx, Nic Kramer ... and also includes behind the scenes hard-core photos of an actual porn shoot. For some stupid reason the entire article is written in Danish! But from what I am able to glean from this article she appears to be a Danish version of a (gulp) Luke F-rd!?!
You two crazy kids should stop bickering and join forces. You could be her LA porn industry corespondent and she could provide you with non-pornographic nude photos of herself holding erections. That's what I call a win-win compromise. Make peace you two! Click here: Jubii Kanal - Erotik
ps The second link is a Russian site that appears to be a travel's guide to Copenhagen. I could not pick out Kira's name anywhere in the Russian text so it must have skipped the local strip club scene. Sorry Kira. :-(

We Love Kira
Sin City contract girl Katja Kean writes: Hey guys.. About the Kira issue..
We are actually a lot of people who do like her for her way of standing up to herself, and maintaining a VERY good reputation all over Scandinavia. Obviously, she is offended by the way Luke comes across on his own site, by showing pictures that she wasnt aware of he had. She is nobody in America, and thats how she wants it. And from what we know she think its is a bit surrealistic to find her own fotos on Lukes site, knowing she has nothing to do with him or anyone else in your country. She is a very open and honest person, and she is actually a bit surprised and amused from what we know, because you guys( who manage to start all this ) really bother with her. We have to agree, it is rather amusing..
Danish mentality is not the same as americans. And she does her job in an honest way.. she doesnt bother with people that dont bother with her. Luke, you did, ( do all the time it seems ) and she is in every way in her right mind to object to the fact, that you publish things, ( lies, untrue stories etc. ) that she hasnt had a saying in. Know this, she deals very well with the press in Scandinavia, and they love her for always giving them what they want. She is in every tabloid mag about once a week, not because she wants it, but because the danish people wants it...she sells. She has more than 50.000 viewing her site every day, and that is on a danish web! Why? Because everybody loves her here. She go out of her way for fans and we her friends always find support and comfort in her house and her company! She is always smiling, joking around, friendly ( believe it or not) and caring.She is the one every one turns to for support, because she is sincere. She also dont want to piss people off, so she do not take advantage of people. Not a single bad word on her articles from Vegas about any one.
She is far from a Luke look alike. It is fun reading her stuff, because she has a great sense of humor. She has not put anyone down or gotten personal with the pornstars on her sites. She isnt harming any one. Knowing her, she is very sarcastic, and i think you over there dont know her well enough to see. NOTICE: i laughed when i saw she put a russian link to your site!! That is again one of her silly stunts. And you guys ate it raw! In case you want to know: That site is not hers or danish..Russian. I cant read it, nor can she, i believe...
If you dont find it funny that you guys are getting all uptight about her and actually take it seriously enough to put it here, then it must only be because you have nothing better to do. She doesnt do porn, she has done some hardcore layouts 5 years back. She quit this business a long time ago, unless something is tempting enough. Thats why people respect her... She quit when she was on top as the best and highest paid dancer ever in this country. And has started her education as a veterinarian! She doesnt have a official website, these sites people put out on their own, nothing that she is involved in. She lives a normal down to earth life here in Denmark, casual friends, none of them has been in this industry, and that keeps her down to earth. She has done loads of charity for animals and children. Her biggest fans are 5th graders!! Her site is visited by all ages, though.
By all means, that should tell you she has an appearance that reaches a lot of people. She deserves the best, and she actually got it. She is a happy individual who achieved every goal she had. Why dont you guys move on with your life and just appreciate that some one actually made it in this business with proudness and success. She moved on from being a nude model...hardcore softcore, to be the favorite pet of this country. Not a lot of people manage that. Kira, dont forget we love you here in you country, and that is all you will ever need. Dont mind these pricks, just mind us, your horse, work and family!! Sincerely, Your friends and your co-workers.
Kira writes Sunday 4PM (PST): Hey Luke... It is tempting to say that you guys are busy bitching at me while im over here, where nobody really cares!! Im not a personality in your country ( nor want to be, seeing how you guys deal with issues that are none of your business. )
Johhny boy said: Who cares about your pictures. I guess someone did, since it ended up here in the first place. Thanks again for adding trafic to my site!
You probably shouldnt be judging my site since you dont read the language. Many times in this debate, a lot of wrong phrases has been in use.. None of what has been mentioned is actually true..but ohh well, if it doesnt take more than that to get your attention.
The facts aren't realistic either.. Never won any prices in Denmark, Jubii isnt a copy of Yahoo, my site isnt like yours, Luke.
And no, it doesnt ruin my reputation having done what i have.. It gained popularity, which makes it easy to take my education in peace, have enough money to do what i please, and have a secure life in little Denmark. You should try it.
To the pathetic people : I rest my case and let you guys bitch about me, and have fun surfing the net for someone who means nothing to you..me...
And also try and do something good for yourself in the future, that would help you in the search of something more important than be Lukes hang arounds.. It says more about your iq, im afraid.
And for you Luke, have you heard of bad karma??
And another thing Luke.. It is a low and cheap way of running a site, it is such bad journalism. Amateur, that is probably the right word. Strange, weird Luke.. most of all i feel sorry for you.
You Guys Are All Losers
Luke: So what sort of people do you think read l-keford.com every day and write in?
Kira replies: Well since im not writing you, but ALL of you, Then i think it is people who have nothing in their lives but negativity, so i guess your site is a good place to get rid of bad vibes.
I believe it is very sad, that of all people you could bother with, you choose me. I never undestood your kind. Quite frankly, people around here are very friendly and down to earth, and never have i experienced such a low form of communication. It is amazing that people get off on trashing some one they dont know??For no reason that is. I had my reasons to be angry with you. And it was a personal issue. I contacted you directly because you were the problem, but yet it is all your hang arounds i am being confronted by? That way you wont have to take a stand i guess. It is not clear to me, what they have to do with the fact that YOU crossed MY limits? It was between you and i.. I have seen your site before, and i was intimidated by the fact that the only reason your viewers are here are to wait for the next to drop in, so they can get rid of their bitterness. I could actually care less who has those pictures, but i didnt want YOU to have them on your site, because i dont agree with your way of running it. If you to me, were realistic and honest, it would have been different. It is nothing but trash here, and every one has nothing interesting to say. Dont forget, you got me involved, not the other way around.
Luke: Kira, could I interview you by phone?
Kira: No, but i can tell you a good place where you can get eletrochok including the therapy you need. You have got to be drugged out.
Luke: Great, where?
Kira: Im leaving your circus.. Great performance. Maybe next year you added even more abes to your show. See you then. Kira
Luke: That comment about "abes." Was it anti-Semitic, referring to the Abrahams and other Jews that populate my site?
Kira: .....dumrianer, æsler, lus, or whatever creatures you prefer..
Curious writes: Luke, Guess what? I corresponded this morning with the Danish editor of Jubii - Erotik, Miss Kira Eggers and I must tell you and all of l-keford.com that she was very cool. I sent her a joking email yesterday saying that she was a very rude person. This morning to my surprise I received a response. Her email was not very friendly. I responded back with an apology and she returned with a very warm response.
For the record she impressed me as a very warm, intelligent and motivated young lady. Shockingly she shares a lot of the same opinions as you concerning pornography and society. I think that you should extend an olive branch across the Atlantic to the charming Ms. Eggers. Who knows maybe a friendship can blossom out of this?
ps I knew you wouldn't mind so I sent her your infamous skinny dipping photo to run on her site. She loved it!
Porn star XXX has sued me for defamation for suggesting that the woman in these photos might be her.
Who is this? Who? Who? Who? Who?
I need a better quality version of the videotape from which these photos were taken (I believe it is called American Dog Pound 2) to determine if the woman in the tape is Christi. I also need a recommendation for a good videotape expert. I would also like to hear from anyone with information about this case.
I also seek a recommendation for a good Private Investigator to chase up this matter. Email Luke
I seek a key source in this XXX controversy - Paul Ringuette, a Canadian biker who spent years at the federal penitentiary in Sheridan, Oregon.

Amused writes: Dear PAW Directors, I just read on l-keford.com about your upcoming fundraiser, the Circus MaXXXimus and I hate to say it, but it sounds BORING! You need to spice up this event in order to get the biggest crowd possible in order to make the most money possible for your very worthy cause. Here are a few humble suggestions guaranteed to make PAW some serious money:
Bukkake Booth - A variation of the old time kissing booth, but with a porno twist. For one dollar the customer gets to squeeze his greasy load off on a volunteer pornlet's face.
Match the PCR DNA Test To The Porner Game - For five dollars Sharon Mitchell gives you three PCR DNA tests and then you have to match the venereal disease to the afflicted porn star. Get all three right and win a prize.
Guess Ron Jeremy's Weight - Only one dollar to play. The contestant who guesses within 50 lbs wins a nice prize.
Guess Nina Hartley's Age - Only one dollar to play. Hint: Her first porno was on a kinescope.
Max Hardcore's Dunking Booth - Three baseballs for five dollars. Hit the target and SPLASH! A nineteen year old girl in pigtails and cherry red fetish heels gets dunked in to a tank of Max's urine!
Chessie Moore's Amazing Trained Animals Show - Admission fifty dollars. Nuff said.
Peter North's Testes Target Practice - One dollar lets you aim the gonad gusher's stream at a pornlet's face 20 yards away. Hit the target and win a prize.
Matt Ramsey's Testes Target Practice - See above.
Lexington Steel Ring Toss - Five dollars gets you five rings. Land three rings on Lex's erection and win a prize. (Don't worry there's plenty of room for three rings.)
Pin The Summons On Luke F-rd Game - Luke is tied nude to a S&M rack. For five dollars a contestant is blindfolded and spun around three times. The object is to pin a subpoena on poor Luke's ass. Note: XXX, Laurie Holmes, and employees of sex.com are exempt from playing!
I strongly encourage all l-keford.com readers to submit other possible games for the Circus MaXXXimus. Let's make this carnival one to remember gang!
Australian Porn Mafia
Taksan writes: Luke there is no Aussie Porn Mafia in my experience the figures being given for the General and Scott's business is the sign of only one thing.. that these people have no idea what they are making and can only guess while they cast envious eyes at their operations.
You have about as much chance of. being "shot" by any of those guys as being considered for the editor in chiefs job by Larry Flynt.
Aussies are only a small % of the online (and offline) porn business yet we control a disproportionite amount of the traffic..why? Quite simply because most Aussies in the biz are honest and legitimate operators with sound business practices.
Unlike many Aussie net porners I never came into the porn business via the net I was in it long before the invention of the internet and yes I've seen many cowboys in the industry both on the net and offline businesses. But I would not say I've seen any more in Oz then in the US or even Europe. I'd say us Aussies (whereever in the world we may operate) have a very good reputation in the business.

Steve Easton from APIC (a group that monitors copyright violation on the internet) writes: Luke F-rd,
Your website could be used as an asset to the Internet community, but you have chosen to infiltrate and invade people's privacy instead. How you obtain email messages that are not meant for you is something that should be intensely investigated.
The messages sent to me regarding FILTHYCASH and Greg Lasardo are anonymous, unproven and unfounded, and could very well be devious attempts to destroy their business. You have taken it upon yourself to not only provide means of further damage, but also to put my name on something I have no idea is even remotely true, which is further damaging to my reputation as well.
I think your concept is unique, but your methods are unsound and truly unprofessional. A journalist writes, a gossip is a fool.
Your interview with Serge Birbrair is excellent, especially because Serge is a master of understanding who is who and what is what on the web. Although accused at times of his own questionable behavior, even by me, I have the utmost respect for Serge and his accomplishments, as well as his willingness to advise. Perhaps you can learn something too from Serge's discretion?
As misleading and unpredictable as e-communications can be, your instant conclusions are more false than true, and it would take ions to apologize and retract your frivolous postings.
Should you choose to change your methods, feel free to contact me, however I am not interested in being lied to and underminded by you or anyone I communicate with, especially when I trust someone to speak openly and "off record" and then find it publicized. It appears your intentions are to be a pest.

MikeAI writes on Netpond: I think all those wankers down under would sell their mothers down the river if they could make another 4 cents.

Flypaper writes on Netpond: Ibill update: You're probably aware that Ibill is on probational removal from the RBL list. This time it looks like they are making changes instead of just agreeing to make changes but not following through. Notable changes include:
1. Ed Cherry, sockpuppet, net kook, and arguably Ibill's greatest liability, will no longer be involved in abuse (spam) issues. Ibill has also prohibited him from publicly representing their company. (Here ya go badmoon, now you can rip on Ibill for violating his "free speach"rights. )
2. Ibill now has a trained professional abuse staff handling abuse reports.
3. Ibill has cancelled the accounts of a few long-time and persistant spammers. This is the best indication that they are serious this time around.
Since Ibill stated that they have fewer than a dozen problem customers this should help quite a bit. In a previous post I suggested people not use Ibill. That suggestion was based upon two things. First, that they support spammers (and spammers hurt legit companies). Second, that Ibill gave no indication that they were going to work to avoid future stints in the RBL. With these recent developments I would be suprised to see them return to the RBL and I no longer see any reason to avoid giving them your business.
Camp Erotica
Aghast writes: Dear Brother Terry,
Months have passed and I am still awaiting the release of Mondo Family Films' newest pornographic musical comedy, Camp Erotica. Is the film being delayed until the completion of the Camp Erotica theme park or will it debut at the Republican National Convention as rumored on l-keford.com? Hurry Terry, hurry!
Sincerely, Aghast
ps I want the Camp Erotica girls: Ariel, Rikki, Maren, and sweet little Kiki to know that they are in my dreams nightly.
Brother Terry writes: Dearest Aghast,
As you may know, Mondo Family Films is a small company, and we take great pride in our work. All of our films our painstakingly handcrafted, and absolutely no part of the creative process will be compromised to meet the public's insatiable demand for our product. Your screener copy of Camp Erotica will sent to Mr Luke F-rd for your perusal sometime in August.
The Camp Erotica theme park has been delayed due to some unforseen zoning restrictions that we are in the process of ironing out. The Mondo Family members are also heavily involved with the Republican Party, and several of us are heading to Philadelphia to support the Dick'n'Bush ticket. We have offered the convention organizers a video trailer of Camp Erotica to play just before the keynote address, to help whip up the conventioner's spirits! Anything to help the party.
Sir, the Camp Erotica girls have told me to inform you that they are looking forward to meeting you at the world premier of Camp Erotica. Kiki is especially gratefull to you for all the press coverage you have gotten her, and has asked me what would be an appropriate way of saying "thanks." I mentioned that a hand written note is always nice, but perhaps something else appeals to you? Anything for you, ya big galoot!
P.T.L., Brother Terry
Luke Gets Mail
Frank writes: The owner of an adult-shoot-location... in Los Angeles has harassed his last porn starlet (at least for a while). The owner of a home familiar to many feature porn-shooters has a reputation for cornering starlets at his home, and harassing producers for (questionable) damages. On our last shoot he cornered Chennin Blanc, and annoyed others such as Paige Sinclair, Jeannie Rivers, and Kaylynn. Avoid this location, what a nightmare!
Luke: Chaim and Marc, are you into personal growth and a longterm monogamous relationship leading to marriage?
Chaim: Luke, if a man discovers any sort of personal growth on his person, he should immediately go to his doctor and have it removed.
As far as monogamy goes, it is contrary to the Torah. All the Gedolim of the Torah had multiple wives to bear their young. Polygamy is the way to go. That's why I am seriously considering going Mormon and moving to Provo, Utah, where a man can still be a man.
Again Luke, don't let all the man-hating crypto-lesbians and Feminazis out there fake you out (and by the way, the Nazis did not permit polygamy, either). The healthiest way for a man to live is being cared for by numerous young, sexy, fertile wives.
Further to my previous comments, every jewish man should have three wives or concubines:
1. A Jewish woman with whom to build communal strength and assure the continued jewish stranglehold on Disney, Time-Warner, Goldman Sachs, etc.
2. A blonde shiksa goddess for pleasure, as this helps sustain the physical and psychological strength need to deal with (1) above.
3. As an act of charity, a Negress. This would also get the Jegro project moving.
Keep in mind that in accord with God's plan to phase women out as they age, so to should the women in each slot be rotated out as they lose their looks. Of course, the Jewish man would be required to continue to provide for his children and the care of their mother. If our rabbis were not such total woosies, they would teach the above from every pulpit.
Ha Rav Ha Goan Chaim Amalek, the Manhattanisher Rebbe Gadol
PS Wouldn't it be a hoot if it turned out that I am The Messiah we jews have been waiting for?
Marc: personal growth: no. (my mother, age 53, is obsessed with it, though.) i prefer outward-looking jewish philosophy and chaim amalek's writings.
longterm relationship leading to marriage and children: i never considered any other kind and, prior this year, only had one (that's right, one) totally aimless fling that lasted a year or two; but the current cultivation of the genuine article seems to be working well. sure, the momentum could all fall apart before long--and, trust me, it does about once a week--but i pulled it off because i was motivated.
If You Fail to Answer These Questions, You Will Be Less of a Man in Peppy's Eyes
Chaim: Why aren't you rich already, so that you can pay me more than the crummy ten cents a word you have been paying me of late? Time to get off your tuchus and do something new, Luke.
Challenging Questions for Luke F-rd - Has He the Balls to Answer Them?
1. What became of your very promising plan to have a porn industry bus tour? If you had the drive of a Seth Warshawsky, god knows how you could have leveraged this by now.
2. How you gonna romance that Disney Dame if you ain't got the doe-rae-me?
3. What REALLY happened at that jewish singles soiree you went to some months back? I am starting to picture some scenes from "Deliverance", but I am not sure of what the jewish analog to a banjo might be.
Cleve writes: Since you seem to have found true happiness with Peppy, this link may not be of benefit to you personally. However, comma, for the millions of suffering Jewish men out there, this could be the best news since the invention of the thatch-weave yarmulke. Mazel Tov!
Email: NJG, you owe Kendra Fifty bucks. In fact, it was less than three days before he wienied out. The folks at Ripleys are pretty sure that this is a new record. PJG
P.S. When riding in the van, DO NOT push the layers of old fast food bags aside. They in fact constitute 75% of the floorboard and disturbing them increases the wind chill factor considerably.
Breeder Lesbians
Dudley Moore writes: Let me spell it out one last time for you and your readers, Luke, and then I'll give up for good. The women of the sex industry--porn actresses, dancers, and prostitutes--are all bisexuals and lesbians. I've said they are bi-lesbians of the femme-femme variety(as opposed to femme-butch), but this is way too cumbersome to make the point. To simplify--without losing anything at all in translation--these women are all BREEDER LESBIANS.
The adaptation here, from an evolutionary standpoint, is that these women work in pairs or groups, and bond with each other(rather than with a male), to attract and service large numbers of anonymous male semen donors. They attract exotic males at long distances through exhibitionistic, highly visual display and service them indiscriminately in tandem and in harems to maintain male interest(in lieu of a relationship) during pregnancy. This way they succeed in keeping the males around, while relying primarily on their lesbian lovers both emotionally, and for assistance in childrearing(in lieu of a family unit). This is probably an earlier adaptation than heterosexual monogamy, but it may have occurred coincidentally, it doesn't matter.
This also explains fully, and in a satisfying way, the "Jim Gunn" phenonmenon that has mystified psychologists for so long(see The Sexual Century by Ethel Person, for example): WHY DO HETEROSEXUAL MALES SEE LESBIAN SEX AS AN INVITATION TO JOIN IN? The fantasy message that male porn consumers read into women having sex together is "Eureka! They must want me to join in!" Of course they do, so they can have males around during alternating pregnancies for protection(just like pimps' function is to give "protection"). (Jim Gunn denies that the women of the sex industry are either bisexual or lesbian, they're just fulfilling his male fantasies.)
Also, with regard to prostitutes, not only do they work alongside other equally exhibitionistic females, many were actually solicited into the lifestyle by "girlfriends" in point of fact(always look for the "girlfriend connection") so I assume a bisexual/lesbian orientation, although they may not admit to it because coming out isn't "cool" like it is in the sex industry since there is no "supporting community" of males and females as there is in the sex industry. In fact, the sex industry itself is the only community of openly bi-sexual women in the world, although everyone in the sex industry chooses to remain blind to the obvious and highly visible reality of these women's bi-lesbianism, for whatever dysfunctional reason.
This simple and glaringly obvious point, that these women are really all bisexuals and lesbians, is lost not only on the men and women of the sex industry, it's equally impossible to make with lesbians, who deny the very reality of bisexuality. Here's the quandry for sincere seekers of sexual truth regarding sexual orientation inside or outside the sex industry: Lesbians deny the very existence of bisexual women("They're all really lesbians!"), bisexual women deny the very existence of heterosexual women("They're all really bisexual!"), so it's entirely up to us majority heterosexuals to do the labeling, and damn the torpedoes, the lesbians and bisexuals will never admit to it!
I would ask everyone reading this article, including RAMERs to join me in using the new term "breeder lesbians" when talking about the women of the sex industry from now on. If it catches on, it will mean nothing less than enlightenment regarding the true evolution and role of women in the sex industry.
Go North Young Man
Jechu Prospect: Dear Mr. Luke F-rd!
The following may be of interest to you in your preparations to visit Korea: Significant names - Pyongyang There are many significant names which will be handed down through generations in the DPRK.
The President Kim Il Sung personally gave names, deep in national feeling and favored by the people, to a number of units and buildings during his continued on-site guidance to every part of the country.
When a new bridge was built across the River Taedong in Juche 49 (1960) he, looking round the bridge, said that from olden times our people termed the river flowing around Chongryu cliff, Moran Hill, Okryu as its water is as clear as gems and, therefore, the bridge should be named "Okryu bridge" before writing the name in his own hand.
The "Mirim bridge," "Chungsong bridge" and "Rungna bridge" built across the river in the 70s and the 80s were also named by him. When he saw a silk fabric with azalea and red maple leave patterns during his on-the-spot guidance to the Nyongbyon Silk Mill, he denominated "Yaksandan" silk naming after Mt. Yak, a famous scenic spot in the area.
He named silk with a sober pattern "Kuryongdan" in comparison with the River Kuryong flowing around Yaksandongdae.
On his on-site guidance he was very satisfied to see a county on the east coast being converted into a paradise of people good to live in and called it "Rakwon county" and named magnesite-producing center "Paekkumsan" (white gold) as it is as precious as gold. "Chongnyon Street," "Chollima Street," "Thongil Street," "Sungri Peak," "Pulgungi" Electric Locomotive, "Paektusamcholli plain" and "Kumnung tunnel," etc. reflect the aspiration and desire of the fellow countrymen and the people and his noble intention to bring better and happier lives to the people. Seeing monumental buildings, places and units denominated by the President, the Korean people miss him, recalling his tireless efforts devoted to the people all his life.
Mr. Ford! Less well known is that the Great Leader was also a great afficionado of adult cinema, responsible for many important innovations in the field. With your voluntary cooperation and joyous spirit, it is an historic inevitablility that these great achievements will live on forever.
Rumdar writes: Luke, Again I urge you to take this fellow Jechu Prospect up on his offer and relocate to North Korea. It has been obvious to your close fans that your career has been stuck in neutral for sometime. You need exposure buddy. Why I can't even find your "variety show" on my computer. It is time for a fresh start. Check this:
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - Having witnessed North Korea's debut this week at Asia's largest security forum, officials from world powers said they were optimistic Saturday about the communist nation's coming in from the cold after five decades of international isolation.
Now is the hour to get a leg up as it were and become America's first big celebrity in North Korea. From all accounts the Great Dictator Kim Jong -il is one freaky guy. Wears his hair in a big pompadour and loves to throw orgies. They want you Luke. They are begging you to go and show them the way. With your expert advice these people could be producing top quality porn in no time. No need to worry about hunger and starvation when one has some excellent smut to watch. Take a skeleton crew of experts with you. I suggest Kendra Jade, Nice Jewish Girl, Chaim and if she is free Madeleine Albright. I'll come too. Luke, can you imagine the impression you are going to make on Preppy Jewish Girl when you return to California in triumph with a Nobel Prize. Get busy.....
Chaim: Pyongyang Gangbang. Has a nice ring.
Fred: Ya know, you get an interesting cast of characters to write to you--Peter Luther Christian, OBE, Mr. ibn abu of Mecca, Medina and Al Quds, the gay, fat born-again guy (whatever his name is). Now you got some guy from North Korea. I like it. Please ask him whether importing writers on pornography is in keeping with Great Leader's ideology of Juche (self-reliance).
Also ask him whether Great Leader (Kim Il Sung) and Dear Leader (Kim Jong Il) are any relation to Fearless Leader (Boris Badenov's boss on Rocky and Bullwinkle). It seems to me that if North Korea imports pornography, it violates Great Leader's concepts of self reliance. How can a nation not be able to rely on its own indigenous human resources to produce pornography? Sheesh!
Our Hearts And Minds Beat As One!
Jechu Prospect writes: Dear Mr. Luke F-rd!
On behalf of my nation, I congratulate your Mr. Fred for understanding an inevitable consequence of proper Juche thought: a nation must attend to its own pornographic needs, and not permit foreign exploiters, be they Japanese or American, to control this vital aspect of a harmonious life. It is because we do not wish to be dependent upon the pornography of others that we seek your wise and learned counsel on matters pornographic.
With your deep and encyclopaedic knowledge of the erotic cinema and our resolute, Juche drive to be self-sufficient in all respects, adult cinema will achieve accomplishments in Korea that have never been seen before. Most eagerly do we await your arrival in the People's Republic! Please let us know how best to attend to your and Miss Jade's specific needs while you are a guest in Pyongyang.
As an aside, I have been authorize to ask you if you would care to read a poem of original and pertinant composition acknowledging the debt you owe to the Dear Leader for your decision to relocate to Pyongyang.
