Taylor St. Claire - Performer of the Year?
Vegas Vic writes: Taylor St. Claire, who went from magazine centerfold, to softcore scenes, to g/g scenes, to "boyfriend only" scenes, is making a strong push for Performer of the Year. She has recently gone up several notches on the nasty meter. In the newly released "Action Sports Sex 10", she does a b/b/g scene, including anal and a double facial. Later this month, she will appear in Legend's "American Cocksucking Championship 7", and according to director David Christopher, this is the hottest scene to date in the series, with Taylor and Amber Lynn getting their pretty faces covered in cum. In October, Extreme will be releasing "Days of the Whore", and according to director Tom Zupko, Taylor does a mini-gangbang scene, including 3 dp's, and a multiple facial. One of the things that I really like about Taylor is her all-natural body. No bolt-ons for this beauty. I look forward to seeing her upcoming performances.
Where is the Justice?
Curious writes: This sucks! Luke publishes ex-porn star Brandy Alexandre's real name. Her employer, Forest Lawn Mortuary, finds out and fires her. Brandy sues and eventually gets a prime cash settlement. Now Brandy can afford laser eye surgery and all sorts of luxuries with her law suit money; while the man most responsible for her windfall, Luke F-rd, languishes in his sleeping bag. Where is the justice in this world?!?!
Bianca Trump Rebounds
Bianca Trump writes: Unfortunatly due to the overwhelming amount of email,posts, interviews, and newspaper articles this letter is a general response. I would like to thank each and everyone of you for you kind words and support after the disastrous Howard Stern Appearance. I would love to say I have no regrets....but I do. I knew what I was in store for and did it anyways against my better judgment. If nothing else maybe I at least succeeded in showing that I too am human and can have my feelings hurt. But the slight ego damage was only temporary. I accept myself for who I am and what I do. I have no doubts about my worthiness or the size of my ass. The one thing I have learned in life is that I can not please all the people all of the time, only some of the people some of the time. Again I want to thank each and every one of you for backing me up when I felt I was against the wall. The trip to the cyber cafe put a smile back on my face afterwards.

I used to manage major acts in the music business, some of them female and the oldest come on in the world for a chick that can sing, or sometimes not even sing is I will make you a star...Yeah right!!!!
Here's an excerpt:
How did you get started?
I got into the business by accident! I was interested in doing regular modeling work...swimsuits and clothing. I saw an ad in the LA Weekly, a free local arts & entertainment paper, for Jim South's World Modeling Agency. I had already begun dancing locally at a nude club called Industrial Strip, and when I went into WMA I noticed a bunch of pictures on the walls of nude girls! I'm an open minded person, and after a couple of hours I went from considering doing some girl/girl work to agreeing to do boy/girl work. It happened very quickly! Next, Jim arranged for me to meet Ed Powers, and from there I went on to do my first movie, Ed Powers' More Dirty Debutantes #86, where I first did a boy/girl scene with Ed, then another boy/girl scene with Jake Steed.
Girls or guys or both - which do you prefer?
I love both, almost equally! But, if I had to choose between the two, I prefer men. Sexually, I get totally different things from both. I do more boy/girl work than girl/girl work, and prefer to break up the boy/girl work with a girl/girl scene. When I do girl/girl work, it's usually after I've had a ton of dick and really need some pussy!
Give Me The Head Of David Aaron Clark
Slain Wayne writes: Give me the head of David Aaron Clark Terrors from the set continues David A. Clark recently celebrated his birthday. This year was not to kind to him so to celebrate Slain Wayne had his head cut off, or so it looked, in the third installment for Terrors from the Clit #2 As Dave plays and overzelous husband to Brandi, who had to cancel the shoot last week due to pain problems, in this piece entitled "The Love Potion" Brandi gets D.P.'d by Luciano and Dr. Shazbo, so far every scene in this movie has a Double Penetration scene, originally it wasn't written that way but somehow the situations have popped up where the imaginary script is re written. Adding to the chaos, the scene was shot in Rob Spallones studio where the barage of insanity continues, of course nothing is ever sure in a Slain Wayne shoot, Brian Sherwood shows up for a second scene later, it isn't in the imaginary script but it could be worked out as with anything else, but things go awry once again as more talent shows up to help out, I forgot the old saying that too many chefs spoils the stew and during the D.P. scene a cat fight almost ensues in the other room between Kelli and Kali, we had to keep them seperated as poor Brian left without doing his scene, I felt bad but we were running on overtime, he will be in the next scene, I hope. As usual there is always some sort of technical problem, this time one light stand fell breaking a bulb, the makeup artist didn't show up because he was lost, but I'd like to thank everyone there who showed up and helped, without them the scenes wouldn't be GREAT!
A List Of Reasonable White Males
Patrick Riley writes on RAME: Here's a list of reasonable white males: James Bonn, Billy Glyde, Dillon Day, Brick Majors, Evan Stone, Randy Spears, John Decker, Tice Bune, Rich Handsome, Steve Drake, Christopher Sharp, John West, Dale DaBone, J.J. Michaels (now retired, I understand) Frank Towers
And at a lower level: Brandon Iron, Mark Davis (although putting on weight, I think he had his head shaved the other day) Alec Metro, Cheyne Blan,c Steve Taylor , Devin Wolf
None of whom IMO look like they just graduated from the state prison system, don't have dicks the size of pile drivers, look somewhat clean, and treat them [the girls] like human beings.
>The implication in your post is, of course, that all black male >performers are either criminals or excessively endowed or dirty or >cruelly lascivious or some combination of all of the above.
"Appear to be" or "look like" are the operative words, not "are".
>Glad to see you're not dealing in any racist cliches then.
PR: You could, of course, point out those blacks that don't. Tough job, eh?
Torris writes on RAME: >The quality of black men in porn, few that they might be, are better >over all then the flotsam and jetsam of the white guys. You think a >black girl would rather f--- Dave Cummings then a Tony Everready? My >guess is that black women in porn don't get that much leeway. They >just would be deemed "troublesome" and would cease being hired.
Pat Riley replies: Perhaps the quality of the black guys in porn is better than the scum at the bottom of the white barrel but the best of the black guys in porn is nowhere near the quality of many of the white performers (see my other post for a partial list). And although I wouldn't put him with the best of the white studs, I think most girls, black and white, would prefer to screw Cummings rather than Everready. In every movie I've seen him in he treats the girls nicely and seems to have a genuine affection for them. He also looks a lot cleaner than Everready.

Fence Straddling The Feature Issue
David Aaron Clark writes on RAME: Well, actually I'm a fence-straddler on the feature issue. I like "moviemaking." I like good slam-bang pornography. They're really two different genres, the old-fashioned storytelling movie, and the post-home video, break the fourth wall reality of gonzo. For masturbation, I like it to be about the real people and the sex to be documented dramatically, with a roaming camera, capturing the sense of real-time reality. That's gonzo, and that's great. Features really are, as has been said, for the cable market. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, if the cable version entertains the people who watch it. What's lame beyond lame is when the director appraoches the sex as a disposable module and therefore goes through a set of boring, preset camera angles, edited at a sharp clip with no room for personal nuance of arousal to be captured. Just by-the-numbers robots, so predictable and distant. The Michael Ninn school of porn. But the thing is, a Michael Ninn cable version (and I've specifically watched them to see), is actually quite entertaining and sexually provocative. Literally, good couples entertainment. It's just an insult to the idea of modern hardcore that there even has to be an "explicit" version. In other words, too bad the days when there was a real market for softcore erotica like Jess Franco, Radley Metzger and Russ Meyer existing in the theaters are past. Cuz sometimes you feel like getting your nut, sometimes you don't.
3 A.M. and Becoming Wet--a comparison of two plotted movies from different eras
Patrick Riley writes on RAME: In about 1979 I had an Apple II on my desk at work. No hard drive, 5 1/4 floppies (2), a 13 inch (or maybe 10?) monochrome monitor, a 8Mhz slow-as-molasses processor. Today I have at home a 10 gig hard drive, a 3 1/2 floppy, a CD-Rom drive, a CD-writer, a 19 inch color monitor and a 466 Mhz processor and I'm certainly not top-of-the-line. The cost of my current equipment is less than the Apple, it's more reliable, and except for the monitor takes up less space. I can't think of anything about the Apple that was better than the machine today. In 20 years the PC has improved enormously.
3 A.M. was produced in 1975 and starred Georgina Spelvin, Clair Dia, Sharon Thorpe, Rhonda Gellard, Judith Hamilton, Charles Hooper, Frank Mauro, and Bob Rose. Set in an upper middle class beachfront house on Long Island it tells the story of the family where Frank and Rhonda are married and have two teenage children, Clair and Charles. Georgina is the spinster sister of Rhonda and is carrying on an affair with Frank but when he threatens to leave her and end the affair, she accidentally kills him in a boat accident--he's knocked overboard and drowns. The title comes from the time this occurred.
After the death, Rhonda misses the sex and ends up having a fling with Bob, the local tennis pro. Charles and Clair are becoming sexually active and are attracted to each other but nothing really happens until Charles, who has been peeking at the masturbatory activities of Sharon, a widow living nearby, is de-virginized by her. He later screws his sister, Clair. Clair however, isn't really a virgin because she has been deflowered by Georgina and Georgina also does a throwaway g/g scene with her real-life lesbian lover, Judith. In the end Georgina confesses into a tape recorder and walks into the sea, thereby committing suicide.
Now let's see how far we've come with Becoming Wet, a recent release from VCA. Producer/Director: Wesley Emerson Featuring: Kylie Ireland, Chenin Blanc, T.J. Hart, Renee LaRue, Keri Windsor, Olivia, Cheyne Blanc, Michael J. Cox, Ian Daniels, Chris Cannon, Kyle Stone, Jonathan Morgan, Nick Ireland There's probably an equivalent mainstream movie that I've fortunately missed.
Jonathan is a successful writer of porno novels (yikes!) who, to celebrate the completion of each novel, has the habit of hiring a hooker. When he finishes his current one he rings up his usual outcall service but they're fresh out of his preferred type of girl so they send part time hooker and actress, Kylie. Even though she's not the right type, Jonathan screws her including an anal ending in an in-mouth cum shot.
A couple of weeks later he meets with his publisher, Nick Ireland, who tells him that he has to go on a radio tour to promote his latest book and since he writes under a girl's name, Jennifer Wet, Nick has hired an actress to impersonate him and all he has to do is go along to feed her the appropriate information.
Meanwhile Kylie is doing a dominance session with Kyle and TJ and receives a call from Nick--you know she's going to be the actress--so she leaves and Kyle screws TJ including an anal ending in a minuscule butt cum shot.
Jonathan is surprised when Kylie turns up at the restaurant where he's lunching with Nick and isn't too happy with the whole idea but is obliged to go along. To add a sex scene (clumsily) Jonathan has been having dreams of a couple copulating--maybe it's part of his book--so at this point he sees Cheyne (credits: Cheyne Collins) screw Chenin including an anal ending in a chest cum shot.
On tour Kylie and Jonathan don't get along too well but at their first stop with radio hosts Chris Cannon and Renee, Jonathan imagines--or maybe it happens in real time--Chris screwing Renee ending in an in-mouth cum shot.
Similarly when they turn up at Keri's show, Jonathan imagines Keri and Kylie doing a g/g.
One night, ever the hooker, Kylie picks up two guys and arranges to service them which pisses off Jonathan so he picks up hooker Olivia in the bar and screws her including an anal ending in a crotch cum shot. Meanwhile Kylie fulfills her contract and does a three way with Cox and Daniels including an anal but no DP. It ends in a facial and a pussy cum shot.
When she returns to her and Jonathan's room she finds Olivia asleep and this upsets her so she berates Jonathan and...and...well, nothing. She tells him what a loser he is and says that her hooking occupation just washes off and then she leaves. Jonathan goes back to his novels and Kylie goes we know not where.
Grrrr! What a missed opportunity! The movie is not so badly acted at least by Kylie and Jonathan and it could have developed into a nice little romantic ending with the reformed hooker and the emotionally damaged writer settling down to a life together but no, they had to get over their PC points: that the job of hooker is not destructive emotionally and it's all the male's fault anyway. I suppose we can be thankful that Veronica Hart didn't direct it otherwise the anti-male attitude would have been laid on with a trowel. We could have also done without about four of the sex scenes and had a better movie. The women here are well past their sell-by date and/or are pudgy but in the case of Kylie that could and nearly is overcome by the story.
Condoms used in all scenes. Date of production: 4/00.
Comparison: Becoming Wet is a one-joke movie: 3 A.M. has serious character development. Even the Clair character acts her unease at doing the g/g with Georgina and opening her thighs for her brother. The scene with Sharon and Charles where he loses his virginity is both erotic and emotional having much more in common with Le Souffle Au Coeur (which was mother and son) than with the stupid "f--- the older broad" scenes we see today.
Georgina might have been an alcoholic, old (about 40 at the time), and not very attractive but she was an actress. In the beginning of 3 A.M. she adequately conveys her terror at being left alone if Frank abandons her and later her remorse at having killed him is palpable. Clair was a B actress and although not at Georgina's level, does a credible job. Rhonda is probably younger than she should be to be the story mother of two teenagers but she's not too far off and outranks in looks Olivia (for example) in Becoming Wet. Sharon is also slightly too old to be a drool-over sex object but she's well cast in the role and her scene is quite erotic.
So basically the women in 3 A.M. weren't stunning beauties by any means but this is an area where the porn industry is supposed to have improved. It hasn't. There's no story reason compelling the Kylie character to be played by a hefty woman. Renee is fat and ugly; do radio shows have to be hosted by fat, ugly women? Olivia is also not too pretty with ghastly cantaloupes and a large scar on her abdomen (gunshot wound, I hear); I'd reject her if you sent her to me as a hooker. TJ is well past her prime but I suppose I could let this one go. Chenin is in a throw-a-way scene equivalent to Judith Hamilton and probably looks equivalent. The guys are equivalent in looks but all of the 3 A.M. crowd are better actors, only Jonathan in Becoming showing some skill in a comedic role.
Based on these two movies, we've dropped considerably in acting ability, story line, script, and except for Clair, have stayed approximately the same in quality of the women. This is not supposed to be the situation! We're supposed to have improved out-of-sight in the looks department. The relationship should be like my Apple monochrome monitor versus my current 19 incher. Granting some leeway it's more like I've upgraded my 13 incher to a 14 inch monochrome.
OK, you say, I'm being unfair. We can't get even "B" level actresses in porn today. They're too smart! Well, you can get cute pretty slim girls can't you? So why don't you? Even within the current crop, Alisha Klass could have played the Kylie role, Tara Patrick as the radio show host, April Flowers in the Olivia role, etc.
But where we really go down the drain is with what I'll call the transition scenes. These are scenes that, in mainstream movies, make the connection between the dialog-containing or main scenes. For example when the character leaves one place to go somewhere else they show him in the car, or walking etc. (I've asked some mainstream people what they call these scenes but didn't get a satisfactory answer. If anyone has a better word, please let me know.)
3 A.M. is full of these scenes. For example to show the growing attraction between Clair and Charles we see a scene of them out on the beach with her on horseback and him guiding the horse. Without hearing any dialog we have the impression that they're closer than perhaps a sister and brother should be. OTOH in Becoming, there are no such scenes--neant, nada, none. One moment Jonathan, Nick, and Kylie are in a restaurant. Next scene, they're sitting in a presumed radio studio. Except of course they didn't spring for the cost of a radio studio and instead have Kylie on one couch facing Chris Cannon and Renee on the opposite couch. Cheap, cheap, cheap...and nasty.
Camerawork and lighting are another area often criticized in seventies movies and while the lighting is somewhat dark in 3 A.M. the camerawork is fine unless of course you want ten minutes of gynecological close-up in operating room lighting conditions. To its credit Becoming doesn't spend inordinate amounts of time on ob/gyn close-ups either. In 3 A.M. however it would be nearly impossible to count the camera angles; the movie flows just like a mainstream movie without the viewer being conscious of the camera position at all. Becoming is the usual zeros porn with one static shot of (say) Kylie riding cowgirl...hold for 20 seconds...then one of her doggie...hold for 60 seconds...move in to a crotch shot...etc. You can count them!
I notice that the industry advertising magazine seems to think that production values mean how much the movie maker spent on the set. A Porsche brings a pre-nom for production values whereas a Geo Metro would doubtless elicit a scowl. That's not my idea of production values.
Doubtless one could say production values include lighting and camerawork but in my view production values are more properly called set design and have nothing to do with the luxury level of the automobiles or houses but rather refer to how well the sets correspond to the story being told. An example of poor production values is the radio studio scene in Becoming I referred to earlier. In 3.A.M. the house looks appropriate to the people and above all and refreshingly it looks lived in. The kitchen looks like someone prepared dinner there last night and the beds are properly made up with sheets and blankets.
OTOH the box for Becoming is much better than that of 3 A.M. So exactly opposite to the PC, almost everything about the 2000 movie is worse than the 1975 movie, a pretty poor state of affairs which is exacerbated for the guy who wants to see a plotted movie by the absence of nudity and sex in mainstream movies today. He has nowhere to turn.
And, if you think I'm being hard comparing Becoming Wet with 3 A.M., think how much worse it could be if I had chosen Dark Chambers.
SexAddict writes: Patrick Riley's metaphor is quite skewed. He is making a straight comparison between the awesome increase in personal computing power and the relative merits of 70's porn versus current-day material. This is not apples and oranges, this is apples and beefsteak. The market and creative forces that drive these products are fundamentally different.
To summarize very quickly, Riley's PC is very powerful thanks to the inexorable power of Moore's Law which holds that a semiconductor driven CPU will double in power every 18 months, plus the fact that an IBM PC/Intel/Microsoft standard emerged allowing for the power of mass production and competition to drive prices down and supplies up.
The quality of porn, meanwhile, has dropped due to video technology reducing the cost of production and a market willing to pay for that cheaper product to scurry into their homes with. Porn in the 70's was a hand-crafted Volvo with pretensions of art, whereas now it is Cheetos, a mass consumed item made largely of air.
Riley's point is well taken though, even though his metaphor may be flawed. The state of the art for porn should have progressed.
There is no market for high end porn, largely because no one has taken the gamble to pay for higher production values, distribution and marketing costs to grow that market. A genuine NC-17 hit that makes money would change everything.
The answer may be streaming media for the net. If the media and marketing costs are reduced significantly, then the money could be put back into production and we could see better product. Is anyone up to the challenge?
Strange Sex Laws Around The World
Here are a sampling of sex laws from around the world that make the Louisiana ban on blow jobs seem reasonable:
In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but the animals must be female. Having sexual relations with a male animal is punishable by death.
In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman's genitals, but is prohibited from looking directly at them during the examination. He may only see the reflection of the woman's vagina in a mirror.
The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation. ( LF: Note to self: Cancel vacation to Indonesia. )
There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the privilege of having sex for the first time. The reason for this is that under Guam's law, it is forbidden for virgins to marry. ( LF: Note to self: Reschedule vacation to Guam. ) Click here: BD: Strange Sex Laws Around The World!
Dudley Moore writes: What is it, specifically and explicitly that both Islamic cultures that veil their women, and Middle Eastern and African societies that clitorally mutilate their women, are protecting themselves against?
I argue that these cultures are protecting themselves directly against the historical threat of regressive bi/lesbianism and its accompanying promiscuity, and here's why.
Women who are raped become either 1) "promiscuous"(the bi/lesbian mode) or 2) "frigid"(the rough equivalent of heterosexually monogamy.)
Middle Eastern and African societies recognize this dire threat of regressive bi/lesbian promiscuity and deal with it directly by immediately killing all women who are raped, and by pre-emptively circumsizing their women.
Who benefits the most from this arrangement? Oddly enough, even though these societies are clearly patriarchal, the elderly women also clearly benefit. Why? Because they retain their societal power long after their own female beauty has faded, and age has made them "ugly" and otherwise "useless" to men in their societies.
In other words, veils in particular play to the advantage of elderly matriarchs, who can then exert sexual domination over the young attractive females whose sexual power represents such a powerful threat to extended family members. That way, the matriarchs don't have to worry so much about some pretty young woman stealing off with their provider sons, upon whom they are entirely dependent financially. In this way, they successfully neutralize the sexual power of their societies' young women, and they also ward off the dire threat of female sexual promiscuity.
Single Moms In Adult Film - Marketing vs Reality
Heather Barron writes: I venture to say that there are more than a few woman that work in the adult film industry, erotic photography and on the feature and club stripping circuit that are married or have children but most make a concerted effort to keep their personal lives "private" thinking that the visibility of marriage and family will jeopardize marketing and sales. I think that's a ton of s---. I bit down on reality last week, making the decision to relocate my parents and children to LA and to continue working in the adult industry and the legit side despite criticism of what a mother of 4 should and should not be doing. In a sense, it was easier to pay their expenses there and mine here and keep a definite separation between what I do for a living and the reality but I missed my children terribly so I made the decision to move them and my parents close to me in the Los Angeles area and continue doing what I love.
So what if people see me in a bagel store eating with my kids and then see me nude on my site or in films. I have been in a beautiful relationship for about 6 months with a man who serves as my bodyguard and harshest critic. Despite all the judgements, I have a normal family life. LA style, maybe. But I am not sure I'd ever bake cookies, unless it's in the nude with some guy eating Nestle dark chocolate chips out of my ass while I read Grisham and suck on a rocket pop. Recently, got approached by a well known film co. about turning one of my adult/indie scripts around into legit so I guess, I'd be quite content being known as the one over the hill porn star that never did a film, attempted crossover and sold a legit script for 1mil. Hell, I'd take a small portion of that and form the Society for Prevention of Cruelty of Quality Cock....HB
Dudley Moore writes: Heather Barron's comment that her boyfriend's role is one of protection(as her bodyguard), is deeply primate, and typical of the role of males in the sex industry. Other examples of primate protection are pimps, and bouncers at strip clubs. I would also appreciate her remarks, and/or any other female sex performer's, on whether she feels she has successfully "reclaimed her sexual power" through sex work, since this is also a wideranging, almost universal claim made by female sex workers, from Playmate centerfolds to prostitutes?
Also, Luke, did you know that male Bonobos rub their nipples with their thumbs when they are sexually rejected by females?
Luke: No, I did not know that, but I may try imitating it.

Frank writes: Luke Saw your interview on greg lazrado, seemed to me that he was an ok guy. I found out that his partners Yohan Lewis and Guy Mckenzie screwed him over big time. He is out on his own now doing commercial programs. This comes from a very good source.
Guy Mckenzie and Yohan Lewis are going to be exposed in the local newspapers here for running beastiality sites very soon. They are spamming etc big time at the moment. Mr Lewis runs his operation from his home in Sunnybank in brisbane and does all his spamming from there under the false pretense of an isp. Guy Mckenzie is the main person behind all the beastiality sites that greg lazrado was getting blamed for. One of his ex employees gave me the complete run down. He is living in Enoggera Terrace in brisbane and has cut all his phone lines off as i have tried calling him to get an interview for the local newspaper as a freelance job. Just thought you would like to know the truth.
Greg is still in porn no matter what he says although he is moving out of it as a day to day thing. He has had a lot of preasure with his partners trying to screw him etc and has even had a break up with the girl he is marrying in a few weeks over all this.
Traffic Inc Controversy
Lee Noga writes about the controversy over Traffic Inc, a webmaster program essentially owned by Netpond.
Lee writes: My convo to NetPond official Red Lion about Traffic Inc not paying webmasters and to explain how a slew of them were talking poorly about Traffic Inc over at another resource site, here is Red Lion's response to my questions:
Lee: "You care to explain all these happy campers?"
Red Lion: Not really.Last time I checked, you weren't my employer or a client. I don't feel any obligation to answer to you. But I guess you must have caught me on a good day. Read on.
Lee: "You gonna call them all cheaters too?"
Red Liom: For the large majority of them, yes. Adult Webmaster Info is a "circle jerk" board. That involves popping the surfer in consoles, false target tags, mouseovers, and pretty much any other tactic known to man or beast. Such tactics are against our terms and conditions. These tactics to trick a surfer into visiting a site are fine for per-signup programs, but for per-click programs, it's a quick way to lose your shirt. The jerkers on that board are not necessarily people who habitually cheat, but people who neglected to read the T&C before joining up. Mind you, not all of them are circle-jerkers, a couple in particular I've seen from quickly scanning the names are people who attempted to defraud us by sending us massive amounts of kiddy porn, warez, and password traffic, were caught, and are now attempting to incite a riot.
Lee: Luke days later this appeared on NetPond:
Could all people owed money by trafficinc please mail me re: possible bailout package I am considering. Prophet has come to me for help in paying the trafficinc webmasters, we are trying to structure a deal right now, and I need to ascertain the extent of the damage. Thanks :) ScottPB, Trafficinc webmasters mail me re: possible bailout package Thu Sep 7 22:13:59 2000 - 210.84.67.148 - message #105378
Luke Gets Mail
Sue writes Luke: Your well-intentioned friends crack me up...like a bunch of sheep, huddled in the corner of a barren pasture, afraid to go through the open gate to the lush green meadow beyond...."Go baaaaack!", "You'll haaaaaate it....", "It's all the saaaame", "What about all the beautiful baaaaaabes"....smile It's so worth it though! Blessings to you this Sabbath day.
Mdl writes: The difference between Christianity & Judaism? In Christianity you obey God's law so you get the good stuff when you die. In Judaism if you don't obey God's law He sends you to Egypt to build pyramids.
Fan writes: Hi Luke, I was wondering if you can give me some info on a new girl named Alexis Knight. She's an older woman about 38, blonde hair with a lean muscular body.
Tony writes: Luke, What can you tell me about Dynamite. I meet her Wed night at the coach and Horse on Sunset in Hollywood. She was really being cozy with a couple of the guys from the Godsmack band. Is she dating one of these guys or what? When my spin magazine came I seen her With Papa Roach too. Has she done any music videos with any of these bands? Also does she have a website, Or somewhere I can write her. She seemed really cool, and not your typical stuck on herself Porn Star.
Brian Kushner writes: Luke: Are you that hard pressed for news that you report on an ex-pornstars eye surgery? Now I could see a tit job or something like this but eyes? On a porner who hasn't made a movie in 8 years??? Your getting lazy Luke.
Jane writes: So, I'm one of (formerly) Dr. Harline's still-living ex-girl friends. Has he moved to California? What makes me think this is that, I still get these hang-up calls...
David writes: Any idea when Legs McNeil's book on the porno biz is coming out?
Fred writes: Well, if you go, and seek to immerse yourself in a religous environment, there are lots of places where one can find places of study for expatriate Americans who are not fluent in Hebrew, including places in Safed. (The last time I was there, I ran into some guy who used to be a roadie with the Grateful Dead, and is now studying Talmud. I ran into this guy while I was waiting to cash travellers checks at the bank.)
Soon You Will Be Among Us
Jechu Prospect writes from North Korea: Dear Mr. Luke F-rd!
Material wonders await you! The central exhibition hall of samples of light industry goods situated in Taedonggang district, Pyongyang, is visited by many people at home. Exhibited in the hall are light industry goods produced and developed by working people in different parts of the country with their own efforts and technology in hearty response to the light industry policy of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK).
A national light industry goods exhibition was recently held there.
On display there were more than 46,800 goods of some 9,800 varieties, which won the favour of visitors for their varieties and high qualities.
Coloured silk cloth, multi-coloured velvet and four-coloured fabric with full width produced at Pakchon and Pyongbyon silk mills were appreciated for their bright colours, delicate and graceful patterns and world-level quality.
The ferment institute, the foodstuff institute and the maize processing institute under the light industry science branch presented a variety of potato food such as potato vinegar, potato wine, riced potato and potato sausage to draw keen interest of visitors.
Many industrial establishments in Pyongyang put on display over 2,200 daily necessaries of over 700 varieties. Among them were paper blankets, plastic buttons, polished rock dildos, folding cloth hangers, crushers, rice paper condoms, various grass handicrafts and kitchen utensils.
Summer blouses, spring and autumn sweaters, injection-molded bras and vinyl toilet paper drew the attention of visitors as they fully satisfied the diverse tastes of the people.
The visitors felt great pride and self-respect while seeing all the exhibited goods which were produced in the spirit of self-reliance and fortitude under the difficult condition, where the country was hard pressed for everything due to the imperialists' moves to isolate and stifle it and continued serious natural disasters.
The workers in the field of light industry are working hard to produce goods of better quality on the occasion of the 55th anniversary of the Workers' Party of Korea. Among our workers are a great many single young women who would be most loyal to you as a mate, Mr. Luke F-rd! Verily both your heart and your mind will humm with joy at all that Korea has to offer!
Who Deserves Eternally Burning Hellfire?
Fred writes: The problem with the Christian notion of hell is that it is not at all proportionate. I have no problem with the notion that by and large, people should be punished/rewarded for what they did. The problem is that the Jack Chick notion of hell is way out of proportion.
In western civilization, we did away with torture as a means of punishment. (8th Amendment to Constitution.) We consider torture to be uncivilized barbarism from a by-gone era. Yet the Jack Chicks of this world believe that God would be part of a system that we consider so far beneath us as civilized human beings that we have banned that system. In short, the Jack Chicks of this world think that God is a barbarian.
Every once in a while, when playing "television roulette", I pass a station where someone like Jerry Falwell says, gee, I'm a sinner, I deserve hell, but I am forgiven. Well, much as I dislike Mr. Falwell, contrary to such sentiments, he does not deserve hell. The truth of the matter is that nobody deserves to be tossed into the furnace for all eternity.
However, the notion of hell lives on as a tool of fear. Control by fear pervades the history of Christian theology. If you read the 11-volume collection on western civilization by Wil and Ariel Durant, they dwell, from time to time, on how in each era it was felt that religion was imperative for a civilization. Civilization required that the populace fear God, the cosmic policeman. The Christian notion of hell essentially takes that sentiment and puts it on steroids.
Do you really think anyone should spend eternity in the eternal furnace? Who? People who commit suicide? Adulterers? Mere non-believers?
Luke: I believe that people should get what they deserve - meaning they should be rewarded and punished according to their deeds, not according to their beliefs. People who do evil should receive back in their own persons a proportionate punishment to the needless pain they caused others. And those who did good should reap a proportionate reward.
Clash of the Titans - Jack Chick vs the Pope
MSNBC.com: VATICAN CITY, Sept. 5 — The Vatican on Tuesday rejected the concept that other religions could be equal to Roman Catholicism and ordered its theologians not to manipulate what it called the truth of the faith.
The Vatican's restatement of its position was outlined in a complex theological document, which repeated Church teachings that non-Christians were in a “gravely deficient situation” regarding salvation. It said that other Christian churches had “defects,” partly because they did not recognize the primacy of the Pope. Click here: Vatican rejects equality of faiths
Chick.com: Does Jack Chick hate the Catholics? Quite the opposite. In the mid-1970's, when he first began to understand what Roman Catholicism really teaches, he knew it was unscriptural. He also knew that to speak out against it would be unpopular and hurt his publishing company.
After much prayer, he made the decision that, no matter what it cost him personally, he would publish the truth that Roman Catholicism is not Christian. He did it because he loves Catholics and wants them to be saved through faith in Jesus, not trusting in religious liturgy and sacraments. Click here: Are Roman Catholics Christians?
Lynne's Thoughts On Religion
Lynne L-patin writes: An honest unbidden prayer escaped my lips as I headed in from the woods Thursday morning, not knowing what was wrong with the dog, driving toward the nearest vet and timing my arrival at some city, any city, for 8 a.m., when I might find an open vet's office. "God, please let Tobi be okay."
I don't know where it came from, Luke. There had been some notes in the Trail Book (we hiked a good twenty miles on Wednesday) as to the beauty of the scenery being proof of God's existence. I don't pray. I don't believe. But it was an honest prayer. Therefore heard, if there should be someone to hear it.
You mention that people turn to religion for various reasons.... I can only tell you honestly about the reasons I personally have turned to it, and from it....
To: A desire to know that which is greater than myself.
To: The belief that there must be something loving and caring in this universe -- that cares for me.
To: The beauty of Catholic liturgy and architecture; the rational aspects of the Catholic religion. Studying with a Jesuit, who explained how the teachings of the church have a positive impact on everyday philosophy of life.
From: The inability to make a "leap of faith" regarding the irrational aspects of the Catholic religion.
From: The inability of those who profess faith to live their lives according to its precepts.
To: The need for healthy, non-exploitative spiritual community.
From: The inability of religion to meet my overpowering, overwhelming secular needs.
From: An atheist husband, who turned me away from many things for the duration of the marriage, because I would not argue over "little things" when "big things" need to be addressed.
To: My relationship with Luke, who finds deep comfort in religion, for whom it is a major part of life, so that I may understand Luke more deeply.
To: Wanting to explore my Jewish heritage, cultural and religious, and to have a feeling that I "belong" somewhere other than porn.
To: The potential of a rational aspect to a code of behavior, which would give me a much needed break from the overwhelming responsibility of constant personal and conscious responsibility for every aspect of my life.
To: My friend R's comfort in his belief in a "higher power."
From: The perceived danger of placing my psychological welfare in the "hands" of a supernatural being, rather than in my own, rational, thoughtful judgment.
From: My husband having been the ONLY somewhat rational person in my life ever, and his powerful abhorrence of all things religious and supernatural.
From: Luke's inability to translate religious values into his everyday life. He clings to the practice of religion, yet fails in loving and in being loved. Religion does not heal him. And all I would ask of religion, and of "God," is to give Luke what he needs to heal. Leave me out of it entirely. Take care of Luke for me.
Luke, the idea of you discussing the philosophy of religion reminds me of the celibate priest dispensing marital advice: you are not yet ready. You can study all you want, learn the Talmud, read Torah, but until you can actually reach out in love and receive love.... Know what it is! You mustn't posit yourself an authority on religion, which purports to be the communication of "God's Love" for his creation.
You can, however, document your exploration, and if l-keford.com should turn from a porn site to a philosophy of religion site, I for one will stand by you. In a rational search for answers raised by the issues in my ongoing, painful, meaningless life, I will make my own exploration, and share it with you, as I do all things. One of the things I've learned over the course of our friendship, dear, is that if I cannot share something with you, I had best avoid it altogether.
Luke Hears The Call
I think I should become an orthodox rabbi.
Rumdar demurs: Luke, I thought I had you set to join the Peace Corps? Ever since I finished my stint (1974) I have been trying to talk someone else into going. Stop being so goddamned self centered. You can serve God and humanity in the errrrr! Corps. Picture yourself serving in say Niger. You, In sweltering heat, helping a tribe of indigenes drill a water hole in the middle of the desert. What a buzz!. You are going to feel like King David, Jesus Christ and Dr. Livingstone rolled into one. Luke F-rd. Com..... I presume. Put up or shut up. Are you going to do something good for folks or continue whining about your miserable existence? PS The world doesn't need another ortho rabbi.
