Email Luke Luke F-rd - Another Brash Web Columnist

Serenity Thanks Her Fans

Pat writes: Luke, Y'know, I'm not really a big follower of porn or the industry or anything, but I was just wondering if you could answer my question. In the Latest News section of her website (Wickedgirl.com), Serenity wrote at the end of her message for 10/5: "PS: Thanks for your e-mails of support in regards to some recent internet postings." Do you know what she is referring to? I'm sure it's nothing serious, but I'm just curious since Serenity is my favorite! Like I said before, I don't really follow the industry, but I've come across your name a couple of times and thought you might be able to help.

Luke: I heard rumors that she'd been having conflicts at Wicked. Like her husband Steve, Serenity is savvy and discrete. She's not one to pop off.

Jenna Jameson tells Gene Ross: "Have you heard about the big fight with Wicked?"

G. Ross: "How could you miss it. It stands out like a sore thumb on Luke F-rd."

[Jenna says she likes the way Luke kisses her ass.]

Jenna writes: Hey Luke... Well, I saw all the stuff Gene reported on me... It seemed a little selective. He quoted me word for word when it came to what he wanted to hear. The part about you kissing my ass was pretty funny. It started out with him asking me why I alwys gave you the story. I said, "Well, he is extremely nice to me." He said that he didn't understand that because you were always ripping me a new one. I said I love the way you kiss my ass. That sounds like a compliment coming from me. LOL Have you ever considered kissing my ass Luke? I hope so!

Mike Friedman Battles For Roy Karch

Attorney Mike Friedman (he represented Tiffany Mynx and Van Damage and Tom Byron's accountant in a big lawsuit with Rob Black that was settled out of court) replies to Luke's inquiry: I was on the phone with Roy Karch when you sent this to me. Roy owns Empire Video, a video distributor of adult vids. He had some problems about a year ago when one of his employees stole a lot of money and merchandise from his business. Roy is an honorable guy and went to all of his suppliers (productions companies) and explained what had happened and made payment arrangments with them so that he could continue to distribute their products. I became involved with him, unsurprisingly, because Extreme Associates (Rob Black) sued him for money Karch owed him for videos Extreme sold to Empire video (many of which were Van Damage and Tiffany Mynx videos). In typical Extreme Associates' style, Extreme's attorney, Bita Azimi, took Empire Video's default when Roy was in Florida attending his father's funeral. In any event, Roy and Extreme have just recently worked out their differences, set up a new payment schedule, and the lawsuit should be dismissed once he is all paid up. Roy's business is happy once again now that his thieving employee is gone, and I'm looking for new porno disputes to duke out or, when possible, resolve. By the way, purely as a lark and completely non-profit, I posted a page of porno pics and vids of one of my favorite porn stars from the not-so-distant past, Kerri Downs. I submitted the site to Thumbzilla.com and, believe it or not, the site has had over 26,000 hits in about 3 weeks. I love this internet stuff -- I hope others in the biz get real savvy about it before their market share dwindles too far -- and that they get the right legal assistance to keep from getting ripped off.

Rob Black's Latest Message to Paul and Gene

Rob Black writes AVN publisher Paul Fishbein and Gene Ross: Gene & Paul: How are my two favorite bitches? Well as I can see your whole site has been devoted to me. I can't even comment on all the posts that appear on your page, because I can't respond to nameless, anonymous writers. If any of these people had balls, they would put their real names with their posts. They don't because they are cut from the same mold as you and that spineless cunt Fish-whine. But love or hate me, all you pathetic cunts are talking about me. You have nothing else better to do than spend your time writing about me. I guess I am living inside all your heads rent-free. And this makes what I'm doing WORK.

Now the rumor I hear (Remember I have a certain employee that is quiet friendly with one of your reviewers, although I won't mention any names) is that Paul the Bitch is closing the office October 9th. How convenient, Fish-whine. Instead of hiding under your desk pissing yourself, awaiting your impending doom, you will be at your house with your boyfriend and your dogs. IT'S COMING, FISH-WHINE! YOU CAN'T HIDE! IF I DON'T GET YOU MONDAY, I'LL GET YOU TUESDAY. YOUR JUDGEMENT DAY IS ALMOST HERE.

Love Always, Rob Black P.S. Do you know where I can buy a computer? Mine seems to be broken.

Luke Going To Work For Rob Black?

Alan Miles, publisher of Hedonists.com, writes: Luke: What is all this stuff on Gene's site about you going to work for Extreme an that's their "big announcement" for Monday? I hadn't heard anything about it so I can only assume it's part of the media blitz for Extreme. I know what the big announcement is, but what I was told didn't include you. Maybe I won't have the scoop I thought I did. s---.

Brad Kurzik writes GeneRoss.com: "Most Internet emailers fall into the Lori Michaels food group, i.e., moron, but I think reader Jeff Spicoli nailed it right on the head with the notion that Luke F-rd would be joining the Rob Black camp. If Black is out to piss off the industry, what better way than to use the industry's most reviled character assassin than Ford? I know if I were running the insane asylum, Luke would be the first inmate I'd hire. Ford and Black are a match made in hell."

Bible Students write: Hi Luke, Having accepted a job from Extreme Associates, you've proven once and for all that your so-called religiosity/spirituality is nothing but a pathetic sham. You're living a lie, but rest assured, God will NOT be MOCKED.

In studying scripture you've missed the obvious message that daily transgression and daily repentance is "a detestable thing, an abomination in God's sight." In simpler terms...you're going to HELL!

Luke, hopefully you'll use your ill-gotten gains from Rob Black to buy yourself a CLUE: God is ANGRY (Psalm 7:11) God HATES (Romans 9:11, 13), and most fitting in your particular case, God CREATES people for HELL: "The Lord has made all for Himself, yes even the corrupt for the day of doom." (Proverbs 16:4).

Luke, all we have to say is...Burn, baby, BURN!

Johnny Denim writes: Hey Luke, I find black so amusing these days since he is reduced to incoherant bulls---. If he wasn't such a classless talentless hack he would own this buisness. Instead he has become reduced to a Kid Vegas wannabe who actually thinks his words can intimidate people. The list of people in the industry who have walked out on black is endless. I think it is only a matter of time before Byron, (the only one still there that ever had any real talent,) walks away as well. If black wasn't being backed by his daddy I don't think anyone would remember him at all. Luke, if you are smart you would steer clear of this bitch, (that's right black BITCH,) and stick to writing about people in the industry that actually make movies anymore. PEACE!

Joe writes: I JUST WROTE GENE ROSS AND TOLD HIM I LOVE AVN AND THERE WEB SITE.BUT I FEEL THIS DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM BOTH IS JUST A POSIBLE WRESTLING ANGLE AND IF IT IS IT IS A GOOD ONE. LIKE I WROTE TO GENE WHY CUT OF YOUR NOSE TO SPITE YOUR FACE YOU DONT HAVE TO LIKE PEOPLE TO DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. ROB IS SMART BUT HE LOOKS LIKE A DECAY OF SOCIETY. I LOVE EXTREME AND AVN

I Have A Dream

Farrell Timlake, from Homegrown Video and Homegrowncash.com writes: Luke, lately I have been ingesting mass quantities of psycotropic drugs commonly used by lost tribes of aboriginal peoples in the jungles of South America. A pungent mix of toad glands, exotic lotus flower pistols, and the fungus scraped ceremoniously off a rare prehistoric plant are combined during a pagan festival that involves three days of attempting anal sex with a female panther. Why would I labor under such conditions when I should be making good porno like everyone else? Well, let's just say that I became extremely aware of the need to see the future and a friend of mine said this would be a sure thing.

Very happy the natives were so friendly because when they stopped laughing after I finally performed the copulation with the panther, they allowed me to ingest their "Salsa Picante" instead of cutting off my head and feeding me to the tribe.

Well, sure enough, upon taking the tremendously toxic mixture, many of the most pressing questions of our time were revealed in lurid technocolor. I know you are quicker on the scoop than the entire Johns Hopkins Lacrosse team so I am going to share the details of my sacred vision with you.

First, Rob Black is not going to be mayor, but he is going to be president after he exposes AVN as a sinister cabal of errant Knights of the Templar. Trouble is Jenna Jameson will be his vice president. Only, she will take the vice part too seriously and end up in some truly embarrassing scandals when she consents to her first anal gang bang with Louis Farrakhan and the million man march. The people at Wicked, jealous of Jenna's continued success, reluctant to admit that Joy King was not the only reason for Jenna's fame, will hire Dennis Rodman to kill Jenna. (The genius of this, and Joy takes credit of course, is that as the event is captured on Rodman tv, there will finally be something to watch rather than drunken frat boys barfing on Rodman's couch).

Of course, once I determined that our fate would not be horribly tranfigured by these cataclysmic events, then I went straight back to work making HOMEGROWN VIDEO the only xxx company on the Planet still making porn for the sex of it all.

Oh, yeah, almost forgot. You experience an epiphany while listening to a Cat Stevens song during a traffic jam and you give up journalism to pursue a prosperous career tiling Islamic mosques in homage to Mohammed. Ain't life funny that way?

Jenna Jameson writes: Anybody who can hack my site... Feel free, you deserve it. Farrell....No matter how much you badger me, I will not work for you. LOL Maybe you should stop taking hallucinagens and realize pop up windows irritate everyone! I think the drugs have gotten to his brain...

I was rsponding to the guy who said he got into my site three times... Then wished me luck... I am the most hacked chick ever. I just figure if they spend so much time trying to hack me, I guess they deserve it!

Sergio writes: Hey dude, there are no panthers in South America!

Give Me Your Soul

This documentary look (entitled "Give Me Your Soul") at the porn industry from the National Film Board of Canada premieres on the NewsWorld channel in Canada October 29, Sunday, at 10PM on the show "The Passionate Eye."

According to the NFB website (www.NFB.ca): "Filmmaker Paul Cowan encounters an unusual cast of real-life characters in his feature-length look at life inside the world of commercial porn films."

Wicked - The House That Jenna Built

Helpful writes: Cheer up Jenna! This whole JennaVision thing may have a short-term impact on your new site (clubjenna.com), but the Jenna content that Wicked has is finite while the potential content on clubjenna.com is infinite! Eventually, porn surfers will realize that JennaVision is just recycled old stuff and it will wither and die. Most of your fans already own your videos anyway so why would they pay to see them again on their computer screen? Fans want new content.

It is a pity that Mr. Orenstein put money above your friendship especially since we all know that Wicked is the house that JENNA built. The best thing you can do is to use this insult as fuel to drive you to work even harder to make clubjenna.com the best adult site ever!!

ps Hey Jenna, I hope you noticed I snuck in your web address three times. Good luck. ;-)

Mr Marcus Rock Star

Mr.Marcus wrote on MrMarcus.com: It's gonna be called "Black Male Pornstar" (hey if madonna can get away with musics--- im entitled) it's gonna contain songs like: 1. Baby can I cum yet? 2. I just wanna stick the head in. 3. 18 and legal 4. What the f---s up with my check?! 5. I like it a little deeper. 6. Swallow my love 7. Lube Free 8. Bend over for my love 9. How much, again? 10. Yeah I'm black, so what! and my personal favorite... 11. Horsey Ride

Posted By: Weird Al: Mr. Marcus, Is entering the music business just a ploy to f--- Kendra Jade? She only f---s rock stars you know.

Pat Riley - Porn Fanatic?

Pat Riley writes on RAME: I, for one, object to being classified as a fanatic about anything, and certainly this sleazy industry.

Porn journalist Nick Adams responds on RAME: OK. Now this offends me. :

I am sick of people who spend half their lives watching porn and the other half bitching about it in this news group trying to distance themselves from the industry. Here are some rules that may help define a porn fan:

1: You can identify a girl by the shape of her asshole. (Loved that.)

2: You show up at your local video store every Thursday afternoon to watch them unload the new releases.

3: You make a significant portion of your living from watching/reviewing porn. (And let's face it, Mr. Riley, neither of us got into this business because we'd rather be watching baseball.)

3: You can define DP, DPP, DAP, gape, stringer.

4: You know more about breast surgery than most women.

5: You spend more time watching porn than you do with your kids. Or going to church or watching opera or baseball or any of the myriad other things you do less than you watch porn and yet aren't embarrassed to admit doing.

6: You've been tempted to use a Vivid/Anabolic analogy during a staff meeting at work.

7: You notice that stuff is missing from comp tape scenes or American versions of a tape.

8: You've actually paid extra for rush delivery on a porn tape.

And this isn't a joke list. This is a serious list of things that *I* consider to be signs a person has more than a passing familiarity with porn. It means you are more knowledgeable about the industry than the average Joe in the same way some people are music or sports fans. It doesn't mean you're they guy in the Bulls cap, drooling and playing yourself while waiting to get an autographed pair of panties at a strip show.

You can call yourself a fan, a consumer, a viewer, a porn aficionado, a connoisseur of fine adult entertainment, a Golden Ager, a raincoater or a wanker who likes to watch Rocco shove women's heads in toilet bowls as he buttf---s them. In the end, outside this news group, those terms are all interchangeable to the mainstream guy on the street. The only reason we can split hairs and make those distinctions here is because ... you guessed it ... we're fans in the common, garden variety sense of the word.

BTW ... I'm really not trying to jump Riley with this. He was just unlucky enough to pen the sentence that set me off. It's the attitude of "I watch tons of porn and know everything there is to know about it but I hate the industry and I'm really above it all" that I can't stand. With everything people go through to make porn flicks, the least we can do is admit we keep watching them because on some level we enjoy it.

Pat Riley responds: I disagree. Being a fan implies approval and a liking for the product or activity to the extent that the viewer admires the item being produced and the people producing it. In a slightly different context a regular poster here said that people in XXX industry (not porn) were his "heroes". That's a fan.

The "everything people go through to make porn flicks" part indicates a true fan speaking. Riley's list to determine if you're a fan:

1. You care, other than in some vague "another human being" sense, if a porn person (performer, director, owner) gets killed in a car accident.

2. You worry to the point of nightmares that a new administration will close down the porno industry and the idea that it's difficult to shut down porn on the internet or to stop it all in the non-internet world doesn't comfort you.

3. You've memorized the list of sound bites to use when someone challenges the validity (or utility) of porn (Religion has killed more people than porn; No one ever died masturbating; etc) and are convinced they're all killer arguments (and why won't people listen?).

4. You actually take time off or use vacation time etc. to come into contact with the industry at fan conventions.

5. You can't get an erection without watching a porn tape.

6. You hate it when Riley (and others) point out the defects in performers not because you lust after that particular slut du jour but because you see her as giving her all for the industry.

7. You belong to and pay money for membership in a "fan" website or an old-fashioned fan club.

8. You shrug off the widespread bad behavior of the industry--especially the lies--as not really different than any other business.

9. You have seriously considered performing in the industry yourself.

God Loves You

Porners you find yourselves consumed with emotional turmoil and self-loathing. You need love! Your industry claims to "love" you, but what are you really "loved" for? You are loved for your outer surgically enhanced appearance. You are loved for your drooling fellatio techniques. You are loved for the post-sodomy gape of your anus. However, there is someone who loves you unconditionally and forgives your filthy career path ... God loves you. Read today's Chick tract and face reality.

Rob Black Responds To Gene Ross, Paul Fishbein

Rob Black got into a big fight with Adult Video News this week. Get the full story on GeneRoss.com.

What I found surprising was Rob turning against Gene. I thought they were friends. I've known about Rob's dislike for Fishbein for years.

Black threatens to release damaging information about Paul, Gene and their Adult Video News. Like all individuals and businesses, these entities must surely have things to hide. Rob threatens to blow this industry wide open.

Today on GeneRoss.com, Rob writes in this:

From the bottom of my heart, I am extremely sorry for my actions on Monday October 2nd in the year 2000. I am sorry that I barged into your sacred offices. I am sorry that I raised my voice. I am sorry that I used obscene profanities. I am sorry that I threw your $35 plant on the ground. I am sorry I thrust my fingers in Mr. Gene Ross's chest. And I am sorry I cannot count on your support for my Los Angeles mayoral race for the year 2000.

Now, that I've humbly apologized for my recent childish and inexcusable behavior, I'd like to say this: EVERYTHING I'VE JUST f---ING SAID IS A COMPLETE AND UTTER BOLDFACED LIE, YOU BIG FAT, GREASY COCKSUCKING MOTHERf---ER. AND COME MONDAY MORNING OCTOBER 9TH WE WILL MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR PATHETIC LIFE FOREVER. YOU, AS OF YET, HAVE NO IDEA OF THE RAMIFICATIONS OF MONDAY OCTOBER 9TH. IF YOU THOUGHT WHAT I DID ON OCTOBER 2ND WAS SHOCKING, WELL, MOTHER f---ER, YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET. MONDAY MORNING OCTOBER 9TH WILL BE A DAY YOU WILL REMEMBER FOR THE REST OF YOUR GREEDY, MISERABLE, WRETCHED f---ING LIFE. IT WILL RING IN YOUR HEAD OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER...

Now, Gene Ross, I see you haven't learned your lesson either. You still continue to spew the same unsubstantiated, rabble-rousing s--- you've been drooling over since you started your silly site. Truth be told, I really don't know who I hate more: you or motherf---ing Fishbein. But it's probably a toss-up. Ass or asshole, what's really the f---ing difference? They both f---ing stink.

Now, let's talk about money, Fishbein. When Tommy and I first started Extreme Associates in 1998, you laughed at us, thought of us nothing more than a big f---ing joke and wouldn't give us the time of day. We even came to you and asked what we had to do to play ball, what we had to do to get the same coverage that all of these other jackass companies got. We, like so many other newcomers in the business, had to lay at your feet and ask for your blessing, simply to be "allowed" to be privy to the "mysterious information" the VCAs, Wickeds, Vivids, et all seemed to know and understand so well. They got the coverage, regardless of how inept or lame their news and updates might have been.

And you know what, you rancid piece of human waste? You sat up there like the slimy cocksucker you are with that pompous s----ass grin on your face and said that the way to play ball was for us to get all our printing done at Great Western, our duplication at Trac Tech and, most important of all, to put a lot of big fat ads in your magazine. You looked at us as if our motherf---ing fate was in your hands, thinking that we would be like all of the other spineless losers who would get on all fours and eat your s--- to get a four-star review and a 1,000 word write-up.

Remember when we finally got a business report? After a month and a half of bitching and whining, it was a paltry page and a half. But what about Elegant Angel and that slimeball Patrick Collins?? That talent-less hack Randy Kaplan wrote a five-page piece on Elegant-the f---ing company that Tom Byron and I put on the map---how many pages did they get? Do you remember that, greaseball? Five and a half pages! Later there's a three-page business piece on Elegant Angel again, inferring that Extreme Associates is dead. Do you call that objective reporting, motherf---er? Do you call that objective reporting when it was basically a free forum to slam Extreme? Why was that, Fishbein? And to slam us into the s--- even more, our one and a half page business report shared the page with Digital Playground. Why was that, Paul? Was that because you were hanging out with Samantha Lewis at Musashi's?

From day one you treated us like dirt, but you know what pisses you off more than anything else? The fact that you were forced to cover us because we made news. It probably kept you up a lot of sleepless nights because you had NO choice but to cover us, because we creating the kind of excitement and product the consumer wants.

Now you talk about all the money I owe you? I'll take all the cash in my pocket (which is probably ten times more than you have in your savings account) and guarantee you that the amount of money that you say I owe is less than the money owed by most of the distributors and manufacturers who advertise in your magazine. I'll go so far as saying that many of them owe you double that amount. You may forget, Fishbein, that I deal with these same distributors and manufactures on a daily basis. And I know how they pay. And do your really think that they're going to pay you in a timely fashion? I'm fortunate though because the difference between my product and your product is the fact that the consumer wants my product and these distributors and manufacturers make money with my product. What the f--- does the consumer want with your f---ing magazine? They can wipe their asses with your f---ing magazine. So, c'mon, are these distributors and manufacturers really paying you in a timely fashion? I'll bet my last dollar that the answer to that question is no. And you want to know why they aren't harassed and extorted like me? Because they're part of the Good 'Ol Boys Club that you have your Thursday card games with together and your Cabo Wabo beach parties.

Even though it's creating a lot of tension within the company, Tom wants to give you this money you claim we owe you, but I f---ing don't. I resent being held hostage for money. This is driving a wedge between me and Tommy, which I totally resent, and which you will eventually pay for. What, do you think Tommy is going to come over there and dance with you, you putrid, disgusting, nauseating f---?

Now, what about that cover on the topic "Gonzo in the year 2000?" Who was the main guy featured on your cover? Ben Dover? I mean, c'mon, who the f--- is Ben Dover? You really mean to tell me that Ben Dover is more representative of gonzo than Byron, that this limey is the standard-bearer for this genre??? Please, that doesn't even deserve a f---ing response. If you think Ben Dover makes better gonzo videos than Tom Byron, Fishbein, you'd better retire right now. And I'm sure there are millions of fans out there who will agree with me on this. But, then again, I forgot, Ben Dover's with VCA with your right hand man, Darren Roberts. Isn't he married to Allison Shandobil? And wasn't she married to Walter Gernert, the part-owner of VCA? I may be way, way out of line here, but can that possibly be Ben Dover's juice.....????

Then there was the Matt Zane cover. The motherf---er is my cousin, but the angle of porn and rock, MTV meets porn, who was the first XXX filmmaker on MTV years before....I guess you forgot about that one...But does Extreme get a cover??? Now, here I sit, and I'm sure you and Gene Ross will probably attribute all this to the rantings of a madman, but anyone in this business with even a modicum of honesty, who can look and face himself in the mirror will agree with me that AVN is mainly about politics, money, and juice. I mean, here we f---ing are with two adult productions companies, releasing 15 XXX videos/features a month, all out the door at close to 3,500 pieces. Our wrestling videos sell 20,000 units a month and have been on Vidscan -the top-selling sports video charts-for twenty-two weeks. We're also in negotiations for a 10,000 square foot building that will house our wrestling shows and our nightclub, Club X., yet we still are looked at by AVN as the bastard child of the industry.

Now, Fishbein, you talk about goons coming into your offices and harassing your employees? Well, you have harassed the adult entertainment industry for more than a decade, ripping off everyone you've ever come in contact with. But truth be told, Fishbein, I didn't bring in "goons" as you called them, I brought in directors like Luis Cypher, Luciano, Thomas Zupko, cameraman Derek Newcomb, legendary photographer Lance Kincaid-names that will one day be remembered far more than yours--just to show them what a spineless coward you are and so that they could document your sleazy hypocrisy, which pretty much went according to plan.

Believe me, motherf---er, I know s--- about you that would blow your mind, that would make you cower in the corner and piss your pants like you did when we arrived at your offices Monday morning.

Believe me, you aint seen nothing yet. If you think what we did on October 2nd was insanity, wait until Monday Morning October 9th when we tell the world who the real insane motherf---er is. You can call me crazy or spiteful, but I speak for everyone in this business who has had to lay down at the altar of Paul Fishbein, who has been afraid to speak out because he thought the ramifications of such would kill his business. Each of these "little guys" has confessed to me in private what I am now stating publicly: AVN is all about politics and juice and has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of videos. I defy anyone out there to say otherwise.

So f--- you, Paul Fishbein, and Monday morning October 9th will signal your death knell. If you or Gene don't print this, I'll send it to every other site on the internet, and put in on my wrestling show which is already syndicated to 26 million viewers around the world and is shown locally on KJLA, 12am Saturday evening. I will spend eight minutes each and every week telling the viewers your name, number, where to write you and where to find you. That' right, asshole, millions of Black followers will hunt you down and proclaim that Paul Fishbein and Gene Ross are spinelsss, gutless cunts.

Yes, I know s--- about you, Fish-Whine, and I got a laundry list of s--- on your golden boy Bryn Pryor and that cocksucker Gene Ross. Trust me, come October 9th, 2000 by about 4:30 pm you will be calling me to discuss how we can do business. You want to know why, Fish-whine? You want to know why? Because you don't tell us how to f---ing play the game we invented! On April 9th your world as you know it will now be lived on my terms. RECEIPT, MOTHERf---ER! The war has begun and will end October 9th, 2000. So lock the door of your office, curl up in the fetal position, s--- your f---ing pants, call the cops, and wait for Doomsday to begin. Then, when it's all over, give me a call and maybe I'll let you take me out to Musashi's. Sincerely, Rob Black

Brian writes Luke: Whew, just finished reading the Rob Black tirade and that is some of the best s--- I've read on your site in a long time. This f---er is pissed off and I love his passion. Keep it coming.

Anon writes: An open letter to Rob Black Has anyone see the NEW AND IMPROVED REVOLUTIONARY EXTREME ASSOCIATES WEB PAGE???? It's a f---ing joke, I've seen 8th graders do better html programing and graphic design. The links to the video clips don't even work. And what about those daily updates??? Nothing has changed yet.

These guys are losers at Extreme and could f--- up a wet dream. The wrestling is a failure and will continue to fail. Hey Rob, guys don't go to your events to see the wrestling, cause it sucks. Buy a 10,000 foot building, it'll at least get you out of that tiny, decrepit, s---hole of an office you have. Now you'll have a 10,000 square foot s---hole.

Everything this company does fails, miserably. Do they make good, filthy porn to jerk off to?? Tommy does and so does Looch. Everthing else is mediocre at best. Here's a small list of Extreme failures in the last couple years:

Wrestling-- "But we're the 4th best company out there." Well Rob, 4 out of 4 is still LAST place. You'll never be close to WWF, WCW or even ECW. You'll be above average in Southern California, packing in on your best night ever less than 5000 people. Anyone with any talent who's not washed up will leave you in a second for one of the big 3 companies.

Contract girls-- Remember the legends you had??? Like Jasmine and Ashlyn. How about Alana Evans, Monique??? How many others have walked or been fired??? And now you've got your last two girls fighting publicly and bad mouthing the owner. 2 porn sluts bitch slap the infamous ROB BLACK??? YOU f---ING PUSSY!!

Web site-- Hanco. They still doing your site Rob??? Or are they out of business. I thought Jon signed a killer deal that would put you up there with the players. Nice current site too. You could be making thousands of dollars a month on a web site, but you're too stupid and greedy to make that investment. Good thing Tom can get on the web or you'd never even know this was being written.

Misc.Failures and what happened to them?-- Nicole Bass fiasco, Jon Blatt, Josh Lazie, Extreme Magazine (is that still around?) and tons of other stuff I can't think of right now. Rob, do what you do best and accept it. You are a great smut maker. You have the talent to be one of the best ever, but for some reason you think you're a wrestling promoter and will someday fill stadiums with people for wrestling or football. You won't. You win some awards and think you're Michael Jordan and retire from making porn. Get your head out of your ass, keep making good videos, hire some decent people to work for you. Look for people like Luciano. Smart, college-degreed people who love what they do. Not two-bit wanna be wrestlers, ex-cons and drug addicts.

If you had some smart people and weren't such a control freak, you could be right up there with Orenstein, Hirsch and Hampshire. But instead, you rant and rave like a moron, hoping that some people will listen. Get your head out of you ass, get back behind the camera where you belong with Tom and Looch and let those movies be the foundation for the all other crap you put out and want to do. Rob you have great dreams and ideas, but absolutely no idea on how to follow through on any of them besides talking about them. So find someone who can help make your dreams a reality.

Evilstein writes: The guy who holds the cum towels for Ben Dover could make better porn than Rob Black has ever put out. Ben's videos are consistently the best I've ever seen. No comparison to anything Tom Byron (he's not bad however) or you have ever put out Mr.Black.

Alan Miles, publisher of Hedonists.com, writes: Ford: I emailed you about the AVN/Black fiasco before it was ever reported on Gene's site. Not even a mention or email from you. Hmmmm. You might check out my site on October 9th as I will have the AVN/Extreme bombshell before it is live on their site too.

Jeff Spicoli writes GeneRoss.com: "Now that Rob Black threatens to "expose" Paul Fishbein and Gene Ross and the whole of AVN, maybe we can finally hear the facts behind the firing of Kim his secretary who used to regularly rat him out to Luke F-rd. And didn't I recall Jessica Darlin making some comment in her interview that Rob and Tommy are making regular monthly payments to Van Damage? I'm no law school graduate, but it sounds to me like Van won his case against Rob. And, whatever happened to Jon Blatt? Whatever happened with Mark Kulkis? Whatever happened with Jane Waters? Didn't Waters direct Miscreants and Black take credit for it?

"Whatever happened with that Brazilian mobster's girlfriend? Whatever happened with ex-girlfriends Tricia Devereaux and Nikki? Whatever happened with Casa Black in Bell Canyon? Whatever happened with the big Hanco merger? Whatever happened with Ashlyn Gere? Whatever happened with Jon Dough? Whatever happened with Amber Lynn? Whatever happened with Nicole Bass? Whatever happened with Rob's wrestling shows at the L.A. Sports Forum? Whatever happened with the "Real Deal" Damien Steele? Whatever happened with Shane Douglas? Whatever happened with Rob's deal with the ECW where he was going to be a "character"? Whatever happened with Josh Lazie? Whatever happened with Jasmin? Whatever happened with the Max Hardcore-Scotty Schwartz fight that Rob was going to promote? I think the whatevers with Rob far outweigh all the mindblowing s--- he claims he has on you guys. In the immortal words of Desi Arnaz I think Rob's got some 'splainin' to do, Lucy. I just got a feeling that, come Monday, all of Black's big talk is going to evaporate just like all of his other big business deals.

"By the way, rumor on the street has it that Black's hiring Luke F-rd. Could this be Rob's big Monday morning announcement? If so, we'll be asking whatever happened to Luke F-rd. If we wanted Luke to disappear all we have to do is have Rob Black do a 'deal' with him. That'll guarantee it." (From GeneRoss.com)

Esad writes: luke, as a retailer with many stores i am appalled by the behavior of rob black. as a regular attendee of the avn awards show i clearly remember rob black winning many awards a few years ago much to the apparent displeasure of the mainstream adult companies! his success at that show prompted me to start stocking his product heavily in all of my stores. this ignorant asshole should kiss avn's collective smelly ass or asshole, as avn helped create rob black. without tom byron or paul fishbein, rob black would just be another unknown porno low life! because of their help, rob black is a successful, mentally disturbed porno scumbag, who makes people like me embarrased to selling his product! tom byron would be wise to distance himself from black and the litigation that will probably be heading his way!

Cindi writes: That's some brawl you've got going on your site concerning Rob Black. Although he comes off as obnoxious, personally I think the guy is pretty smart. The whole incident is being made into some huge drama and giving him tons of free publicity, which is exactly what he is looking for.

Ari writes: I am so excited about what Rob Black plans to do on October 9! I can't wait! Just in case, I went ahead and reserved www.October9.com in case the news is HUGE!

Magazines Going Hardcore

Nepats writes on RAME: I'm not sure if anything specific caused it to happen, but I noticed Hustler started to go hardcore sometime in 1997. It was very subtle at first, with only one or two partially obscured hardcore shots per layout. Over the next couple of years, Hustler became bolder and got to the point where they would even show cumshots. Other newsstand magazines followed suit. I guess this phenomenon is similar to what happened in the early 1970's when these magazines started showing pubic hair. All it took was for someone to take the risk. Hustler should take a great deal of pride in breaking this barrier. Larry Flynt is probably the biggest risk-taker the adult industry has ever seen. Note to AVN: You can now get rid of those black circles!

Spanking Hank writes on RAME: Penthouse has been showing hardcore for about two years now, dating to about the time that Jenna Jameson was shown giving a blowjob, with all the hardcore shots in silhouette. Janine and Leslie Glass followed soon thereafter, as I recall, with Leslie taking the first facial. Ever since, the final pictorial in the magazine has usually depicted hardcore b/g sex, with the first pictorial occasionally going the same route, although that first one is usually either g/g or b/g in a grainy black-and-white format that I guess is supposed to make it artsy.

Seeking Raven

John writes: Luke: I really enjoy your website. I have a question that you might be able to help me out with. Do you know anything about porn star "RAVEN?" She is a gorgeous, tall, brunette that was active in the late 80's and early 90's. You might remember her from the "Taboo - American Style" series with Gloria Leonard. I would love just to hear what she is up to since she left the porn business. I think that she is one of the most beautiful women to have ever been in porn. Also, I would love to know how to contact her and find out if she is available for escort service. I would mortgage my house to spend some time with her.

Luke: A different Raven does escort service - Raven McCall.

MrNaughty writes: Hey, Luke! I've recently discovered Tami Monroe! What a freakin' hottie! Just wondering what she has been up to these days. Last I heard she was married to one of those Zane guys. She still make any apperances or have any plans to do any projects? Does she have a web site where we can find out about all things Tami? Let us know about the lucsious Tami Monroe!

M3Sir writes: Hey Luke, I was wondering if you could give me some information on a pornstar. Her name is Caludia Corazon and I can't find anything about her. I saw her in one of the Shut Up And Blow Me movies from AVN Productions. Please Luke, a fan address or anything that would help me 2 get a hold of her, and keep up the good work. Your site is the bomb.

Blast From The Past

I just found this great post about me on the Dennis Prager email list from early 1998.

My friend Chris writes:

Look for his first book to be published...by the same irresponsible publishers that brought you, "Hard to Find Facts for the Amateur Mail Bomber", and "The Idiot's Guide to Being a Successful Hitman".

There is not a single responsible organization, that I am aware of, that has not finally had to ask him to stop attending their functions. That list approaches double digits in the LA area alone.

He converted to a religion that he has since leached off of for weekly meals, preyed sexually on their women, regularly disrupted discussion groups, and behaved in social situations so innappropriately that he is on "Black Lists" in his chosen Jewish neighborhood.

Can you imagine joining a religious group, only to (actively) become their most continually innappropriate and biggest butt-pain? Why yes, he did so with regards to DP's friendship as a matter of fact. Was respectful for years, actively restrained and friendly, seeking DP out by going to Temple where DP did, only to become Hyde (now) once he had gained DP's friendship. The first person that DP has EVER, in 49 years, had to sue. Fancy that. See a trend here?

Anyone else you can name that is so widely viewed as a pariah on a personal AND a professional level? A "religious" Jew that makes a living running a porno web site and and a gossip web site, both overwhelmingly contrary to the Jewish Laws he freely took an oath to follow.

Luke F-rd is not deemed appropriate nor responsible by a single reputable source that knows him well to my knowledge. (If I am wrong, please provide me verifyable evidence to the contrary. I will gladly look into it. I can document MY claims, but won't here unless forced to.)

He is, on the other hand, banned from *several* conservativly religious social/singles groups that he has infiltrated and who's hosts and female members he has repeatedly abused over the years.

Interestingly, his behavior came up at Shabbat dinner this week- quite by accident. My host, a very fine, religious man who regularly has unknown guests to their home for Shabbat dinner in the spirit of outreach (and whom I'd known not at all prior), was re-telling a "Shabbat Disasters of the Past" story.

It was a tale of the most innappropriate, obnoxious behavior by a GUEST you can imagine. Overtly sexual and homosexual innuendo and dialogue the entire night. The host was so shocked and upset, he ended up going into his kitchen to do dishes to get away from this "guest". No other guests that were at his home that night have since returned. You can imagine why.

My host was not using anything in his description that would ordinarily be deemed identifyable about the subject. It was just a story. Yet that fact that he was describing Luke F-rd was not only *obvious* to me, it was painfully so. I asked two quick questions to ensure for myself that I was not mistaken, and of course, I was not. That enough for you?

Chaim replies: This is priceless! You must post this on your web site, along with more material in a similar vein. (By the way, just what were you saying at that dinner? The few times I have seen you in the compay of jews - ok, once only - you seemed very circumspect.)

Luke Lies, Deceives

I was recently asked by a journalist to answer some email questions. I sent them to Chaim Amalek to answer for me. I then forwarded his answers to her in the guise that they are really my answers. Is this moral?

Chaim writes: No problemo in the eyes of the AllMighty, IF

1. Jesus is Lord and Savior

2. To accept Jesus as same is to win forgiveness for all your sins, and

3. You die in that state of grace. (See The Rapture).

Otherwise, you will burn in the lake of fire for eternity anyway, so what difference can it make?

Luke says: Here are the questions with Chaim's responses:

Chaim writes: Remember, the good name of Amalek is not to be sullied with this. Read on:

1. Have you ever gotten sexually aroused while writing your column? Was it from something you were posting? Or was something happening at your apartment while you were trying to work?

CA: NEVER. Porn bores me. I do it because I am too lazy to do anything else.

2. Who do you personally think is the sexiest female porn star around, and what would you give to sleep with her?

CA: Honestly, I do not find any of them sexy. The young women I see at the supermarket are sexy; women who whore themselves on video for a few bucks are not. Sorry - thats the way things really are.

3. Luke- If this question offends you at all, delete it-There are tons of references on your site to you being gay. Does this upset you? Do you think it's funny? Or is there a little bit of truth in there, maybe some bisexual activity?

CA: Of all the places in the world where homophobia should be an issue, you would think this would not be one of them. Let's keep em guessing.

4. What is the wildest, most fun, craziest sexual thing you've ever done?

CA: I had sex with a clam.

>Hope to hear from you soon! Cindi

CA: I hope this helps! By the way, please send me a revealing photo of yourself to post.

Imperialist Pornographers Aid Dangerous

Jechu Prospect writes from North Korea: Pyongyang, - Bodong Sinmun today carries a signed article headlined "imperialist-pornographers 'aid' is as dangerous as poison," which says the imperialists' "aid" is a tool of aggression and subordination to force sexual slavery submission and openly commit interference and neo-colonialist moves and a dangerous toxin which brings about poverty, famine and death, not "prosperity."

Their "aid" is a means of such crafty intervention and plunder as blackmailing others to carry malignant videos of the oppression of workers and a trap of economic subordination and political domination, the article says, and goes on: The pornographers with aggressive and predatory characters dislike the sexuality of those countries which have achieved political independence and attempt to lay a trap of neo-colonialist plunder and subjugation for these countries at any cost.

First of all, they are introducing venereal disease into the major economic sectors of developing countries under the cloak of "medical aid." Their "aid" is a method of brigandish and neo-colonialist plunder and subordination to establish an economic control over developing countries.

They attach collateral conditions to "sex" so that developing countries may not use orgasms effectively according to their will and interests. They increase the interest of overdue debts year by year and saddle these countries with heavier debts. With "aid" the imperialists take a grip on major economic sectors of developing countries and expand it in political sectors in a bid to violate political independence of developing countries and make these countries act under their pulls and pressure.

The United States gives dollars to those countries suffering from sexual impotence, in the name of "aid" and, instead, forces the introduction of American way of sex and human rights, the provision of adult sex businesses and long-term use of them and the permission of western culture and other dominationist demands. The United States is openly forcing some countries to give up their anti-imperialist and independent position and, otherwise, putting sanctions and suspending sex to stifle them and going so far as to use armed forces.
