Les Vampyre The Party

Quasarman attended this Metro extravaganza Friday night and filed this report on Quasarmanrants.com: "The bovine-skinned Chuck Martino was quite hurt that I had been "sending emails to Luke F-rd talking s---" about him. I explained that I had done no such thing rather that I had my own pathetic little web site which Luke frequently copies from. I wasn't entirely sure he understood this. Then again, I'm not entirely sure that Chuck will even remember talking to me. A lit cigarette within 6 feet of him could easily have ignited the alcohol on his breath."

Most of the other big players in our industry started from audiotext or daddy's money, Andy made s--- happen and make it happen big. I am confident that FCI is implementing changes that will better their current services and secure them a position atop the money makers in the new millenium. Man, some people really have TOO much time on their hands, go get some BUSINESS accomplished and mind your own f---ing business.

Give Me Your Soul

CBC's Newsworld, 10 p.m.

John Doyle writes for yesterday's The Globe and Mail: "Part of the continuing mainstream fascination with the sleazy world of pornography, this NFB film is neither condemnation nor celebration. It's an as-is doc, an introduction to a cast of characters in the porn business that is ostentatiously non-judgmental. At the start, filmmaker Paul Cowan says the film is about the porn actors ("Give me your soul and I'll make you a star!"), but it turns out he means all the actors in the unsavory drama that is porn. We meet Bill Margold, a former porn star whose mission is to shepherd youngsters, male and female, through the business and ensure they don't end up broke, diseased or dead. We also meet Luke F-rd, a young man who is deeply religious and simultaneously devoted to chronicling the porn industry through his Web site. The film's star is Katie June, a young woman just arrived with her mom in Los Angeles from Tennessee, who is determined to be a big porn star. Her brittle self-assurance is grating and eventually heartbreaking. "I have this talent," she exclaims. "I really enjoy sex!" Give Me Your Soul is a fine film, but flawed -- so much is implied that the suggested horror gets buried beneath the distanced attitude. We have to wait until the final credits, the where-are-they-now bits, to find out what it all really means. (On Monday, 10 p.m., The Passionate Eye has Nude! Live! Girls! Unite!, a much more funky doc about an attempt to unionize the strippers at the Lusty Lady Peepshow in San Francisco. Made by Julia Query, one of the strippers, it has layers of meaning about the role of women in the porn industry (management of the Lusty Lady were women) and the ways in which everyone who works is part of the proletariat.)"

BDon writes Luke: I was just watching the documentary called the Passionate Eye. I really was inspired by your moves, and the work you did in that documentary. I would like to know what it takes to become somewhat a journalist at your stature? It seems that you are at risk alot of the time, I mean dealing with Mob, and powerful people, and such.Are you ever scared? I would really like to learn more. in some ways I think of you as a cyber mentor. But in any case, I dig your work, I think what you do is what makes this country able to be free from money and power.

Mike writes: Hi Luke; I just watched "Give me you Soul" on CBC + I wanted to say that I was very impressed with the way you carried yourself, whilst those people who are "against you" by-and-large carried themselves like a bunch of bums! I don't know about your level of integrity, or anything like that, but I must say you are a professional, (and that can't be easy in the face of such closed-ranks and hostility). Good job + hang in there, man!

Also, I just ordered your book "A history of X" from amazon.com, and I look forward to reading it. -I wanted to ask if there much in the book about Lisa DeLeeuw? She was my favorite Star + I always wondered what the real story was; i.e. if she was with her family when she died + where she was layed to rest, and so forth. She still has a great may fans you know, and consequently, I hope you write an article about her for your webpage someday; "Lisa DeLeeuw the Untold Story", (or something like that).

Luke says: I don't have much on Lisa.

Chuck Martino Says Michael Raven, Shay Sweet Are The Best

Chuck Martino says: "I just shot a VIP movie for Coastline. I'm doing six a year. Coastline says that next month you can do an artsy movie, can you do it? I said I can't, but I know someone who can. I call Michael Raven. He says he'd love to. I say, no problem, you've got the job. Because Michael is the best. He is the best."

Luke: "Are you still with Jeannie Rivers?"

Chuck: "She's too young for me. We broke up four months ago. Shay Sweet is still the only girl I love."

Luke: I think Shay is engaged to Jeff Synder at KBeech.

Chuck: "He is a very good guy. I still love Shay. We're soulmates."

XXX: "Shay is never going to marry Jeff."

Chuck Martino Confronts Sin City's Ari

I hear that Chuck Martino and Ari Octavia at Sin City had an angry telephone confrontation Friday morning and Chuck threatened to beat Ari up.

Sin City sources say that Chuck Martino wants his job back at Sin City as production manager. And that Chuck feels that Ari Octavia and his son Guy are preventing him.

Martino has no comment.

A Sin City source reports: "Luke, you haven't lost your touch. This has great soap opera like appeal. You know Chuck is a lovable maniac. In reality, he can cause much turmoil and has at Sin City. What you have is a typical case of sour grapes. Chuck wants what he can't get, it is that simple. Ari is in charge of keeping all dead lines for boxes, productions, duplication, and distribution for both video and DVD. Sin City is no small company with over 20 video and 8 DVD releases per month so his job is formidable. Dead lines can't be changed and unfortunately, some of these dates, because of human error or forces beyond ones control, are missed and he has to be the one to communicate to the people responsible to find out why these dead lines were missed. Plus, Ari is from Israel and English is not his first language so at times his communication might seem rather forceful where he really means well, it can be taken as the opposite and has."

Jerry Falwell writes: "The pornography industry has left a long line of body bags. Perhaps porn and criminal violence are intrinsically linked? Perhaps it is those "dead lines" that Ari runs?"

Phyllis Schafly says to Luke: "David Sturman probably has a better sense of humor than any other owner in the industry. He finds you amusing though he has been pissed with you a few times."

Arianna Huff says: "You never know where you stand with David. Sturman's affected by the lunar cycle."

Jeffrey knows Sin City. He says: "Ari may be a piece of s--- but Mark Snyder is the biggest snake in the building. He is treacherous. Michael Raven is where he's at because he's in good with Mark. Because Michael came out of nowhere.

"It's almost impossible to get fired from Sin City. When Chuck got let go, I was surprised. But Snyder is on very thin ice with David."

YYY, another Sin City source, says company morale is good. "Ari Ovadia had some ideas for doing things and they didn't work out. Ari sat down and talked to [Sin City owner] David Sturman and decided to just concentrate on the DVD and the video duplicating lab. Everything is fine. He's meeting today [Friday] with producer Guy, his son, and director Alex Ladd who was in Europe the past two weeks."

Luke: "My source says that office manager Sharon, and Mark Snyder and co all hate Ari."

YYY: "I don't think they hate him. Sharon definitely does not hate Ari. It's just that sometimes their responsibilities overlap. But they seem to work things out and that's where it ends. Mark is essentially the general manager. He heads the art department. He's in charge of everything around here."

A Sin City source tells Luke: "The matter between Arie, Guy and Chuck is a private matter, and publicizing their differences does nothing for Sin City, David or anyone involved. Arie says that he forbids Chuck from calling anyone at Sin City during working hours because it wastes everyone's time and diverts them from work."

By contrast, XXX, a source with connections to Sin City says: "Ari at Sin City Let me give you the lowdown. This guy is a cunt cocksucker. He rips David off more than anybody with duplicating. Ari's burying this company into the ground. He's alienated everyone there. Everybody hates him.

"Mark Snyder should run that company. He knows what's going on. Director Michael Raven is excellent.

"Ari's son Guy produces Alex Ladd's gonzos. Alex is a good director. But take a look at the girls in the movies. Guy selects them. They're pigs. And that comes from everyone at that company."

I asked former Sin City shooter Chuck Martino to comment on the quality of the girls in the Guy Ovadia produced gonzos. Martino had a one word response: "Pigs."

XXX says: "Ari is out for his family and that's it. His son Orin also works there and does nothing but cause trouble. Ari's not out for David [Sturman, Sin City owner]. He's out to f--- David. He f---ing double charges David for duplicating. Everybody hates Ari because he's a cunt.

"I want to bury that f---er. Ari f---s David worse than anybody."

"David's a good guy. But he's a big pussy. He will get f---ed and will get f---ed and will get f---ed and David doesn't care because he's so rich.

"Guy makes $1000 to produce Alex Ladd's movies. Why are the girls so f---ing ugly It's because of Guy. He knows nothing about women."

Ari Octavia supposedly does not allow Chuck Martino to call his friends at Sin City. Chuck considers Sharon the office manager to be like his mom.

According to a source, the following conversation occurred like this:

Chuck called Ari's son Guy to say, "If your father says one more derogatory thing about me, he will be sorry he ever met me."

Guy replied: "If you ever call me or my family again like this, I will f---ing kill you."

Chuck hung up and then called back.

Chuck: "Listen Guy, you little f---ing cunt pussy little f---ing 100-pound weakling, don't ever talk to me like that again. Because when I see you at the show I will kick the f--- out of you. And I'm not a violent person. But I don't take being disrespected."

Martino says: "If Guy ever speaks to me like that again, I will f--- him up."

Martino and Ari had a confrontation at the AVN Expo in Las Vegas in July. It supposedly went like this, according to a source.

Chuck: "Who shoots the best gonzo movies for Sin City"

Ari: "You did. But you have a big mouth. You talk to Luke F-rd."

Chuck: "Get the f--- out of my face. Luke is my friend."

Kim writes: "Thanks...Luke I've been reading your site for over 2 years now... And I've never really cared about anything that I read, it was more just for entertainment... But Your Article About Sin City and Ari and his Family is so very much true... It's just to bad that more wasn't said about the family... And how much they really steal... Or the Truth about there son Orin and how he should locked up for all the crap and sexual harassment that he says to the Female workers...The company should be worried about the Sexual Harassment Charges that may be brought on because of him and the way there family treats the employees... These are all bad people and it is very much true...THAT EVERYONE HATES THEM... They Lie, cheat, steal, harass, and that's everyday and all before lunch... I hope someday the right people (they no who they are) put an end to this family as being apart of Sin City.... From..someone inside"

I've got a bunch of sources on this Sin City controversy.

MMM, a source near Sin City, says: "Mark Snyder and Michael Raven hate Ari. Mark and Michael wanted to rent the old Sin City building when Rob Spallone vacated. And take their whole operation over there. They want to get out from underneath Ari and do their own thing. David squashed that idea. It's really true how much they hate Ari."

Luke: "It seems that Ari has many enemies?"

MMM: "It's because he's got that Israeli disease. Every time his lips move, he lies."

Sources tell Luke that the reason that Sin City has been a mess for years is that its owner David Sturman employs friends who aren't competent. One much criticized member of Sin City is the duplicator Ari Ovadia, who is blamed by many for driving down prices in porn in the mid '80s with his Israeli cut-throat methods.

Other Israelis contributed to the drop of porn video prices in the 1980s, including Danny Mimain (who took over Caballero), Yosef and Rita Shemesh at Factory Home Video aka Sunshine Home Video, and Ariel, a salesman for David Sturman's GVA West.

Ari is essentially Sin City's General Manager, though the true power at the company has long been thought to belong to Art Director Mark Snyder.

When David Sturman started Sin City in 1989, he wanted the best artist around. Sturman thought the Western Visual boxes were the best back then, and Snyder designed them. Sturman hired Snyder, and Sin City earned many nominations by AVN for Best Box Cover. Snyder also become one of David's best friends. When David spent two years in prison (1992-93), Mark Snyder was a rare porner to visit him regularly. Mark let David's wife cry on his shoulder and Mark helped her run David's extensive businesses.

Unfortunately for Sin City, many artistic persons like Snyder do not have what it takes in a business sense. So David has had to resume control of Sin City's business operations.

But Sturman's still an absentee owner, living in San Francisco while Sin City resides in Chatsworth.

Though undoubtedly talented as an Art Director, Snyder still releases (like the rest of his peers) numerous boxes with misspellings and inaccurate information.

"This whole idea that Sin City is in a mess is a misnomer," claims a Sin City insider. "We have one of the strongest new release numbers [though sources tell Luke that SC only sells 1300-1800 pieces per new release], we sell all our releases to domestic satellite, and our international sales are the best ever. With over $5MIL in sales annually, the company does well in spite of its absentee ownership."

According to rumors, Ari the duplicator secured his position at Sin City by refusing to testify in the early 1990s against Reuben Sturman, David's father. But a well-places source tells Luke: "David's duplication arrangement with Ari has nothing whatsoever to do with his past relationship with Reuben. To the best of my knowledge, there was never any time Ari was ever called to testify against Reuben. Ari, in effect, is the general manager of Sin City, and he works cheap, David pay him nothing for it. Ari, like Mark Snyder, is a great person.

"Like his dad, David is a deeply loyal person to people who show him loyalty. That's why David overlooks some harmless mistakes and concentrates on the bigger picture. I will let you know a secret about David Sturman. One of the main reasons he started and continue to operate SCV, is the creative satisfaction he gets from the development of the product, from input on all art (e-mailed to him daily) to plot selections. And what a great excuse to write off trips to Cannes and Milan."

Please Rush Your Facial Weight Gain Secrets To Christy Canyon

Whenever Luke gains weight, it goes straight to his puffy face. JustMrT writes: While debating whether to venture out into the rain to see Christy Canyon in S.F., I surfed over to alt.fan.christy-canyon. Yikes! (see attached photo, posted by slavering fan boy "noynac" from Argentina). Supposedly her appearance is the result not of misbehavior, but rather of a fitness regimen (which may well be true, owing to the fact that her abdomen and lower body appears toned and healthy in other posted pics). The various glowing testimonials and professions of undying adultation from her a.f.c-c coterie all somehow avoid acknowledging that she looks like a crackhead from the tits up. Luke, what combination of protein bars and other quasi-foodstuffs have you found to maximize the Luke F-rd chipmunk cheeks phenomenon Do you have any idea whether it might also have beneficial effects on hooters which appear to have had all the life wrung out of them.

Luke: I recommend milkshakes and Jamba Juice mango smoothies. And lots of pizza.

Curious writes: Give Christy a break! Her bra size has always been a 38 long. And as for her face? Well, time marches on. Here's a scan of Christy and I way back in 1990. Sadly, the photo was taken back before my chronic acne had cleared up.

Luke asks: How much did you pay for that picture and why?

Curious responds: I believe it was $10 in 1990. Actually, the photo was secondary. I was actually paying to be in close proximity to her vagina. *sigh*

Luke wonders: Why do men like to stick their penises in women's vaginas?

Curious: Yes, it is the cheapest alternative to $10 polaroids.

Rumdar writes: Luke: I believe guys enjoy sticking their penises in women's vaginas because many women won't let them stick it in their mouths or asses. And a nostril is just too tiny.

Helpful writes: Ease up on Christy Canyon. Did it ever occur to you, Luke, that she may be suffering from the premature aging virus that infects woman who were sexually active at a young age? BTW I heard on good authority that Hot Twat is only 29.

Plato's Theory Of Forms

Ian writes: Farrell Timlake from Homegrown Video writes on Netpond: "If it weren't for the kind and cool folks at Video Secrets, Wicked would still be in the cave facing the wall watching for the dim flickering of meaning."

I wonder how many of your readers realized that Farrell was referring to Plato's illustration of his influential Theory of Forms or Ideas when he wrote that Plato, writing in around 350 BC, said that our perception of the real world is like that of a man facing inwards in a cave and seeing shadows on the wall created by the real world outside the cave.

Hot Twat writes: Dear Luke, I have been inspired by Heather Barron to pursue a career in adult XXX and I am submitting my photo to be rated by your readership. No, I am not a 19 year old Jenna clone, but an attractive, sexually knowledgeable, mature woman who loves to f---. Do I have what it takes to make it?

Metal Dude writes: I've seen Hot Twat before. She's was an album cover model for one of the best bands of the 80's. Check it out. It's her, dude!

Steve Hirsch writes: Luke, I know that we have had our differences in the past, but all will be forgiven if you will just forward me Hot Twat's email. I would love to get her signed up to Vivid before that bastard Orenstein gets to her. Thanks.

Steve Orenstein writes: Tell Hirsch he's a day late and a dollar short as usual. Wicked Pictures has already signed Hot Twat to a 1 year/12 picture deal. Sorry, Steve-o, ya snooze ya lose.

Ron Jeremy writes: Tell Hirsch and Orenstein to get in line behind Metro. We inked Hot Twat last week as the special guest fluffer at Metro's "Circus of Anal Gang Bang" with Houston and Nicole Sheridan. ps Luke, we have note received your RSVP for the gang bang yet. Will you be participating in your traditional, anonymity preserving mask? Click here

Farrel Timlake at Home Grown Video writes: We almost signed Hot Twat, but felt that she has had too much plastic surgery. We prefer the "girl next door types" and not the plastic Barbie clones like Hot Twat.

Gore Condemns Gays But Sodomizes Wife

By Rogers Cadenhead

***Campaign 2000 SuperExclusive***

***Special to the DRUDGE RETORT***

Though Vice President Al Gore declared 19 years ago that homosexuality is "just plain icky," he regularly commits acts of consensual sodomy with his wife Tipper, the DRUDGE RETORT can reveal.

"When these two get a 15-minute opening in their schedules, you couldn't separate them with a hose," a senior Gore adviser told the DRUDGE RETORT. "Al told me that Gerard Damiano based his film DEEP THROAT on their relationship."

In 1981, Gore discussed his views on man-man lovin' during a Tennessee "hootenanny," a gathering at which the menfolk of the town come together to drink hootch, discuss issues of the day, rig elections and hatch schemes to keep the black man in his place.

According to one participant who left a message on the high-tech analog answering machine of the DRUDGE RETORT, during the hootenanny Nebuchadnezzar McCoy of the Knoxville McCoys asked Gore what he thought about buggering.

"My good sir, pray tell what is your opinion of a man who intrudes himself upon another man's most indelicate of areas, the spankhole" McCoy asked.

"I think it is gnarly," Gore responded, and he immediately launched a detailed 30-minute discussion about fecal bacteria, the thin, blood-vessel-rich walls of the anus and the risk factors for venereal disease, complete with numerous charts. "It is not just another normal optional lifestyle," he said.

Gore later issued a clarification after the COOKEVILLE HERALD-CITIZEN wrote an angry editorial condemning his remarks. "I would like to state for the record that nothing I said related to the practice of sheep bothering," Gore told the paper. I have a great deal of respect for the cherished folk traditions of Tennessee."

These comments sharply conflict with Gore's current statements on the love that dare not speak its name.

Earlier this year, Gore declared: "The time has come to widen the sphincter of opportunity to include sodomites. I will fight against the powerful forces for your right to sodomize the people you love and be sodomized by them in return."

Reaction was swift in Austin to the news of Gore's 20-year-old anti-gay remarks. "Now do you understand why we ran a candidate who never entertained a political thought prior to 1990" Bush chief campaign strategist Karl Rove told SPACE GHOST COAST TO COAST. "Back in 1981, our man was too busy snorting cocaine off the breasts of strippers to get himself into any trouble."

Al Gore replies: Regarding the *conversation* which took place seventeen years ago where I expressed *anti-homosexual* views, It happened. Although the rebuttal made on my behalf, which stated that I spent the majority of that time engaged in various illicit activities specifically designed to exclude forebrain usage is also accurate ( more porn stars than strippers actually...I didnt need the money LOL), I remember the conversation. To take this as an indication of my views is.....well its amazing and I must confess that I am once again amazed by the oppositions ability to twist reality to suit their views. The only truly relevant fact regarding the conversation is this: both constituents currently engaged in this election debate constituted the majority of the *good 'ol boys* present for the *Clan* meeting.

My remark was made in support of of the same view which had been expressed by my current campaign manager. (As I recall, my actual thoughts at that moment were not anti-*anything*sexual and centered mainly around the idea of f---ing her until she passed out.) Not that she was or is anti-gay, her comment was simply the first in a long line of attempts to hide her bi-sexuality. (More than likely to avoid the obgligatory *can I watch*, than any fear that I was anti-gay) Im surprised that the opposition remembers the conversation at all, since their thoughts were centered mainly on someone passing her *the plate*, and had little to do with social reform. My track record on tolerance and acceptance speaks for itself, and unlike the opposition (who is the most narrow minded, intolerant human being I have ever met) consistently speaks for itself. The recent war was fought because of human rights violations against a homosexual man, who also happened to be my friend. I was honored and priveledged when his lifemate asked me to speak at his funeral, and I miss them both. Of course all of this is simply the long way of saying the opposition is full of s---.

It was during my *if you cant drink it or snort it...f--- it* days that an event occured which changed my views on social responsibility. I received a letter from Romania (still under Communist domination) from a teenage boy about an album on which I had written a song called *Taking the city*. In this letter, he described living with no freedom of expression, and told me that even having this album meant imprisonment if he was caught. He went on to say that despite the risk, he and his friends gathered to listen to this one song every day because "it sounds like freedom". I couldnt believe it, I was spending the majority of my life sticking my dick in anything that held still, while this kid was risking his life to listen to this song thinking I was some *champion of democracy*. From that point on I did my best to evaluate the impact of my actions on my community, local and global. I may not always make the right decision, but whatever decision I do make is made for the right reasons. In any case, withiour resorting to distortions or out-right lies, the opposition can not name a single specific action in my *political* career that was selfishly motivated, or had interests other than the *partys* in mind. The opposition however blindly goes through life without a single thought as to the implications of their actions, or any real thoughts regarding social reform. In a personal communication, they described persons in a dis-advantaged position as making *good fodder*, for those in power. Eat the weak. Wonderful social policy, very humanistic. With Stalins legacy fresh in their minds Im sure my Romanian patriot and his friends would recognize you for what you are...Little *Joe*. As for the raging debate, it's moot. Im withdrawing my candidacy. If I may be allowed to paraphrase Groucho Marks; "I wouldnt join a club that would have you for a member" f--- it. Im voting for Raph Nader.

Jap writes: hi, i am big fan of porno movie.but here ij japan,we don't get to see much cock in the movie. i am fan of Male old stars like Harry Reems,Jamie Gillis,Paul Thomas,Richard Pacheco,jon Martin.... i saw some private pics in the photo gallery. if you have more,i want to see their photos.

Den writes: Is shay sweet back in the business because I know she left for a while?

Frank writes: Luke, I am a longtime fan--ever since your site just had bios and before the gossip. I was wondering if you knew at all how someone could get into entry-level marketing/PR in the industry--maybe something that makes at least $500/week :) Any info if you have any would be awesome--thanks!!!

Luke says: There are a ton of jobs in the industry selling x-rated videos. Check out the LA Weekly. Get your foot in the door and go from there.

Spencer writes: Dear Luke I've got "Spice" running in the background, and I saw a little promo / interlude type thing with Lexus, but I've got the volume down low so I couldn't hear what she was saying. Then she starts /crying/, and I try to turn up the volume but the thing ends, then I check the Internet and it says that Lexus has retired. Anybody know any more fine details on this What was Lexus crying about, and why did she retire (I met her only a few months ago, and she told me she was going back to school, and that might explain the retirement, but it wouldn't explain the crying)...

Tony writes: Hi Luke, its been a while and I've changed ISP's. I gotta say lately porn has been either really mundane or really repellent. Somewhere people have forgotten its supposed to be entertainment. Maybe my sense of entertainment is out of style. It just doesn't snap, crackle and pop like it used to. I wanted to know if you've had a chance to check out BAMBOOZLED yet. This is as atypical a Spike Lee movie you're going to see. Spike's attempting to reveal some disillusionment with some of his own success. I don't want to spoil it for you if you might decide to go see it but I will say this. Damon Wayans gives the performance of his career playing an unsympathetic lead.

John writes: Hello Luke, I think your website is very good. It would be even better if you talked more about the stars instead of about porn companies and religious stuff. For example tell us about what a star is doing and who they are with, and what they are like in real life. I am most interested in hearing about the life of the performers. Another thing, Can you add new pictures to your site? It has been a long time since you put up new pictures. In the same vein can you add pictures of the stars that you talk about? Often I don't know what these women look like. I have not seen a porn movie in a long time. Do you know of any other free sites that have lots of pictures of the porno stars?

Pat writes: I've seen, on a couple different fan sites, Kristi Myst getting reamed in the crapper by some big black stud. How does one go about figuring out which one of her videos this would be? Visiting Extreme Associates site did not help.

Chaim writes: What do all your sexwebmastergeek computer friends (including that tough lesbian Lee person) suggest in the way of operating systems to civilians who simply want a nice, well behaved and stable system? My computer is driving me nuts.

Chris English recommends: Yes Chaim, my new mate Nikos, aka as "Hungarian Jewish Pimp" and his mate Bella are having a similar problem with his volatile system especially since he has been chucking out volumous E-mails full of luscious Jewish crumpet to his prospects both Jew and Gentile ( "NIKOS" does not discriminate between porners) and unfortunately I am unable to help as his system is in Hungarian. Nikos's English is also not that great so if you could locate window's 98 se in Yiddish I'll get Luke to put you in touch and you can compare notes. Good luck Chaim my old chum, now I have to get back to shooting the next episodes of Sin City's ASSQUEST.

No matter what else they say about you - you are the fastest cutter and paster in the business.

Certainly if he was going to demonstrate proof, then the world would have a right to know, and if he offered proof then he would be making history right here on this site.

Thanks Ian for the footnote on the Wicked comment, now if I could just get someone to check my grammer... By the way, Luke, thanks for the referral. Hottie, as she prefers to be called, will be starring in a upcoming xplor release called "The further adventures of professor Dingle". We are expecting smash sales and wonderful reviews in AVN.

Jeremy Steele writes: I think anonymous victim, "hiv boy" can help himself in the following ways...

1. Find out the HIV status of any and all other people he "worked"/had sex with at Babenet.. That way, he'll at least be able to know whether or not he should be bitching about that company. Also, check the HIV status of the other people he's had sex with.

2. Do extensive independent research on the subject of HIV and AIDS.. but not just linear research.. Search out and review different, "alternative" views..The fact is, although this fact is suppressed by the media.. That there is debate and controversy about what HIV is and whether it even causes AIDS.. I'm not, nor have I ever, told anyone what to believe.. But I think the information is worth researching, if you care about the subject of HIV and AIDS. Magic Johnson says he no longer is HIV positive.. I don't personally agree with all the reasons that he attributes to being "virus free", but it is just one thing worth noting.. That HIV+ status is not an automatic death sentance, nor even a marqui that you will have any symptoms, whatsoever.

I would recommend the following sites/numbers: The Group for the Scientific Reappraisal of the HIV/AIDS Hypothesis #(877)256-6406 www.rethinkingaids.com (This includes Nobel Prize winning scientists as members.. So call them crazy without ever looking at the information if you like, but I would say that would make you a moron to do so) International Coalition for Medical Justice www.icmj.org ACT UP Hollywood 323-692-7766 The National Vaccine Information Center (703)938-0342 Alive & Well AIDS alternatives (877)92-ALIVE www.aliveandwell.org www.questionaids.com (I've done volunteer work for them.. Including when The Foo Fighters, whom also believe in it, did a benefit concert for them at the Palace) Or Go to book stores like Borders or The Bodhi Tree, and there's alternative literature you can look at. I have plenty of more references in case you're interested. Email me at jeremysteelexx@hotmail.com

3. Don't let the fact that someone told you that you're HIV positive make you believe that you're gonna die... It is proven that belief in a placebo killing you is enough to kill you, or all but destroy you. Before you take their medicine, which might be poisonous.. Read the labels and get read up on it. I'm a bit saddened, although not suprised, how this Industry just blindly accepts whatever the general consensus happens to be.. It seems noone came up with the idea of questioning "reality" after it became collectively discovered that HIV Eliza tests were dubious and unreliable .. To me that should have been a sign that perhaps the people and institutes that we rely upon aren't necessarily acting in our bests interests.. Just like performers in the porn biz, doctors are just going along doing their jobs, too busy collecting our money to be concerned about rocking any boats with information which would disrupt the money flow.. But luckily for them.. They're now making way more money than ever, with the mandetory PCR tests, which the Industry now blindly accepts is the (latest) answer.. For me, it's just the price of admission to be a professional whore.. I find it ironic, that the inventor of the PCR, Nobel Laurete Kerry Mullis, Says there is no evidence that HIV causes AIDS.. and the Industry is now relying on his PCR and spending $85.00/Month to ease our foggy minds. Well, that was my politically incorrect (as always) statement.. Hope it helps someone.

Playboy Pursues Teri Weigel

Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2000 20:12:17

Dear Ms. Weigel and Mr. Maglio:

We represent Playboy Enterprises International, Inc. ( PEII). We write concerning various actions you have taken, including (i) the use of PEIIs trademarks and on the website, totallyteri.com; (ii) the unauthorized display of PEII-copyrighted images on the totallyteri.com website; and (iii) the registration of the Internet domain names playboycenterfold.org, playmateapril1986.com, playmateteriweigel.com, playboy-playmate.net, playboy-playmates.net, playboymansion.net, playboyprostitute.com, playboyprostitutes.com, playboysluts.net, playboyteriweigel.com, playboyxxx.net, playboy-playboy.com, xxxplayboyxxxx.com, thebadgirlofplayboy.com, and thebadgirlofplayboy.net (the Infringing Domain Names).

This letter is addressed to both of you because it is apparent from our investigation that you are the persons who are directing, and are ultimately responsible for, the violation of PEIIs copyright, trademark and related rights described herein. Teri Weigel is the subject of, and the contact person for, the totallyteri.com website, even though the domain name totallyteri.com is registered to Spearmint Rhino Online (a copy of this letter is being sent to Spearmint Rhino Online). Murril Maglio, who is the technical contact for each of the Infringing Domain Names, and lists as his address the same address given for Totally Teri, the purported registrant of the Infringing Domain Names. Also, the e-mail address for Mr. Maglio is murril@totallyteri.com.

PEII is the owner of the internationally-renowned and federally-registered trademarks PLAYBOY, PLAYMATE, PLAYBOY MANSION and CENTERFOLD (the PEII Marks).

For more than 46 years, PEII and its predecessors have used the PEII Marks in connection with the advertising and sale of adult lifestyle entertainment-related products and services, including the internationally famous PLAYBOY Magazine. PEII currently advertises and promotes the PEII Marks through various channels, including the Internet. PEIIs trademarks are used on its official websites located at, among other locations, www.playboy.com and www.playboystore.com. PEII offers, among other things, adult lifestyle entertainment services and products at its official websites. As a result of the advertising and promotion of the PEII Marks by PEII and its predecessor, the marks have become famous, and are distinctive and highly regarded among consumers and the business community worldwide. The company derives a substantial amount of goodwill and value from them. Millions of consumers worldwide are aware of and have purchased products branded with the PEII Marks.

Your use of the PEII Marks in the Infringing Domain Names and your use of the PEII Marks on the totallyteri.com website infringe and dilute PEIIs trademark and related rights. Moreover, the totallyteri.com website displays PEII-copyrighted photographs without PEIIs permission.

The purpose of this letter is to demand that you immediately cease your illegal and extremely damaging conduct by, among other things, transferring the registrations for the Infringing Domain Names to PEII, removing all references to the PEII Marks and all PEII-copyrighted images from your website, and paying to PEII a minimum of statutory damages for which you are liable for your infringement of PEIIs rights.

Our review of your illegal activities to date reveals, among other things, numerous and flagrant violations of PEIIs copyrights. The totallyteri.com website contains at least 42 photographs that are PEII-copyrighted images. These images are being posted on the website without PEIIs authorization or approval, and infringe PEIIs copyrights in violation of the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq. In addition, the totallyteri.com website uses PEIIs famous PLAYBOY Mark repeatedly by, among other things, placing the title The Bad Girl of Playboy on photographs of Teri Weigel featured on your website.

Ms. Weigels use of the PEII Marks as described herein also constitutes a breach of her contractual obligations to PEII as set forth in the letter agreement between Ms. Weigel and Playboy Enterprises, Inc. dated November 22, 1985. Your use of the PLAYBOY Mark on your website is likely to cause confusion among Internet users who see your site regarding PEIIs endorsement or sponsorship of, or association with, the website or Teri Weigel.

Your unauthorized uses of the PLAYBOY Mark on the totallyteri.com website, in connection with the sale of adult entertainment services and products, violates PEIIs rights including those under Section 32 of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1114 (prohibiting infringement of federally registered trademarks), Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a) (prohibiting, among other things, false designation of origin), and various state laws prohibiting trademark infringement, false advertising and unfair competition. It is well established that a website incorporating a third partys trademark can constitute trademark infringement and violate Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act and other federal and state laws. See Brookfield Communications, Inc. v. West Coast Entertainment Corp., 174 F.3d 1036 (9th Cir. 1999).

In addition, your use of the PLAYBOY Mark on your website dilutes the distinctiveness of that mark in violation of the Federal Trademark Dilution Act of 1995, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1125(c) and 1127, and analogous state law.

Finally, your registration of the Infringing Domain Names violates the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA). Among other things, your registration of multiple domain names incorporating PEIIs trademarks constitutes bad faith under the ACPA. The registration and use of a domain name that incorporates the PEII Marks, or any confusingly similar name, is also actionable under the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) domain name dispute procedures that are applicable to all domain names within the top-level domains .com or .net. Based on these dispute procedures, PEII is entitled to obtain the transfer or cancellation of the registrations for the Infringing Domain Names. See Sportys Farm L.L.C. v. Sportsmans Market, Inc., 202 F.3d 489 (2d Cir. 2000).

Also, because the Infringing Domain Names incorporate the PEII Marks, they create a likelihood of confusion with PEII. Because you have not yet established websites at any of the Infringing Domain Names, all of which currently feature an advertisement for dotster.com, the registrar of the domain names, Internet users may believe that PEII does not have an active website for its products and services. Of course, since all of the Infringing Domain Names include one or more of the PEII Marks, it is highly likely that any website maintained at those addresses would create a likelihood of confusion and infringe and dilute PEIIs rights.

The remedies available to PEII for this illegal activity include disgorgement of any profits you have made by reason of your infringement; recovery of PEIIs actual damages; and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief. PEII also is entitled to recover statutory damages under the Copyright Act for each copyrighted work infringed. Such recovery does not require proof of actual monetary loss by PEII and can be as much as $30,000 for each infringement. At a minimum, PEII would be entitled to recover statutory damages of $750 for each infringement. In addition, if you are found to have willfully infringed PEIIs copyrights, the amount of statutory damages for each infringed work may be increased up to $150,000. Similarly, the ACPA entitles PEII to recover statutory damages of no less than $1,000 and up to $100,000 per violation of PEIIs trademarks in a domain name.

In addition, if you are found to have misappropriated the PEII Marks knowingly for the purpose of trading off of the distinctive nature and goodwill of those mark, PEII may be entitled to an award of additional damages, including possible punitive damages and its attorneys fees, against you and any other individuals who participated in your illegal activities.

Finally, if your unauthorized use of PEIIs trademarks is found to be a willful counterfeit use, you could be subject to substantially greater statutory remedies, up to $1,000,000 per infringement. See 15 U.S.C. § 1117(c)(2). PEII considers this matter to be very serious and has instructed us to take all appropriate steps immediately to end your illegal and extremely damaging conduct. By this letter, we offer you a chance to resolve this matter amicably. However, as part of any resolution of this matter, Teri Weigel and Murril Maglio and all of their affiliates, parents, subsidiaries, owners, officers and employees, including, without limitation Spearmint Rhino Online and Totally Teri (collectively, the Weigel Entities) must immediately:

Cease advertising, promoting, selling or otherwise distributing any services or products, bearing the names The Bad Girl of Playboy, playboycenterfold.org, playmateapril1986.com, playmateteriweigel.com, playboy-playmate.net, playboy-playmates.net, playboymansion.net, playboyprostitute.com, playboyprostitutes.com, playboysluts.net, playboyteriweigel.com, playboyxxx.net, playboy-playboy.com, xxxplayboyxxxx.com, thebadgirlofplayboy.com, and thebadgirlofplayboy.net or any other name including or otherwise confusingly similar to the PEII Marks.

Cease all infringing use of PEIIs trademarks, including without limitation, all use of the terms Playboy, Playmate, Playboy Mansion or Centerfold in the text, title, html code, domain name and/or Uniform Resource Locator of any website, other than as a biographical description of Ms. Weigel. Cooperate with PEII to effect the transfer to PEII of the registration for the Infringing Domain Names, and all other domain names that include any PEII trademark or any confusingly similar variation thereof. Pay to PEII the minimum statutory damages for which you are liable for your infringements of PEIIs copyrights and violations of the ACPA, in the amount of $46,500.

The minimum statutory damages for which you are liable have been calculated as follows: (1) $31,500 for your infringement of PEIIs copyrights (based on minimum statutory damages of $750 for each of the 42 PEII-copyrighted images posted on the totallyteri.com website without PEIIs authorization or approval); plus (2) $15,000 for your violations of the ACPA (based on minimum statutory damages of $1,000 for each of the Infringing Domain Names registered by you). Confirm, in writing, that the Weigel Entities will (i) comply with each of the above requests; (ii) make no further use of PEIIs trademarks, including use of the terms Playboy, The Bad Girl of Playboy, playboycenterfold.org, playmateapril1986.com, playmateteriweigel.com, playboy-playmate.net, playboy-playmates.net, playboymansion.net, playboyprostitute.com, playboyprostitutes.com, playboysluts.net, playboyteriweigel.com, playboyxxx.net, playboy-playboy.com, xxxplayboyxxxx.com, thebadgirlofplayboy.com, and thebadgirlofplayboy.net and any other names, marks or logos confusingly similar to the PEII Marks; and (iii) not state, suggest or imply that any of the Weigel Entities or their products, services or commercial activities originate or are affiliated with, or are sponsored or endorsed by, PEII.

Please contact me by no later than October 27, 2000 to confirm the Weigel Entities willingness to do the above. If you have not responded by that time, we will be forced to assume that you have refused to cooperate in this matter and shall take whatever steps are necessary to preserve and protect PEIIs rights. I look forward to hearing from you and am hopeful that we can resolve this matter expeditiously. In the interim, however, this letter is not intended as, and should not be construed as, an admission or waiver of any rights that PEII has, all of which are expressly reserved. Very truly yours, James S. Blackburn

Frank writes: Don't you love it! Playboy, which touts is "free speech" advocacy is one of the most aggressive in pursuing alledged copyright violations. Here's a case Playboy lost: http://legal.web.aol.com/decisions/dlip/playboy.html

Luke, where have you heard this type of thing before? http://www.totallyteri.com/bio.htm "Teri claims that Playboy lied to her and that they are the whole reason she is in porn. The magazine supposedly seduces innocent girls, promises them the world, and then kicks them out on their asses in five years."

Luke: I have two old Playboy experiences. Around 1970 a co-worker who was a runner talked to a reporter and a writing story ended up in Playboy. Nothing sexual and a good story but everyone was ribbing him for months. Around 1980 I read in the newspaper about a Playboy "Women of Mensa" feature and there was a picture in the newpaper of my ex-girlfriend. I later heard that she did a topless shot even though she was very flat chested (That was before the Playboy "girls of" features were basically fronts for stripper wannabees) Nice girl but rather ordinary looking. (It definitely wasn't J Giels Band "My Angel is a Centerfold).

Help Luke Help Himself

I spend much of my day lying down. I like to listen to books on tape and morally and psychologically inspiring lectures that I don't have to pay for. I really enjoy the website www.613.org and the like which provide Judaically inspiring talks. I'm wondering what other sites are there on the web where I can just lie back and listen to lectures and be enlightened?

The Thief

No matter your crime the redeemer will still accept and forgive you. From murderer to thief to internet webmaster. No crime too great to be forgiven IF you will only humbly ask for the forgiveness of our heavenly father. Porners, won't you join Jack T. Chick on his knees in prayer?Click here: The Thief

Luke's Mommy

Who wrote this to Luke? Paul Fishbein, Steve Hirsch or Russ Hampshire: "I would so much like to be your mommy, and make a safe, beautiful home for you, and let you relax and be the beautiful decoration you are, pretty baby, and make sure you had plenty of healthy food and clean sheets, and tuck you in at night, and tell you that you are loved."

Rumdar speculates: "The answer is none. I bet it was Elton John."

Jeremy Steele writes: "To me the answer is obvious who said that.. Lynn L-patin."

Luke replies: Ok, you are right. But which pornographer would be best suited for being my mommy?

Helpful suggests: Chi Chi La Rue?

Nice Jewish Girl writes: Hi Lukey, Well, I'm glad you have a friend. Just because he's gay doesn't mean that you can't be friends with him. Gay men are very nice, you should know that, you grew up here in Northern California.

Are you reading any spiritual relationship books these days? I'm reading one currently, called "Embracing Each Other - Relationship as Teacher, Healer, and Guide" by Hal Stone and Sidra Stone, both PhD's. Very interesting stuff. I'm reading the part about vulnerability and taking care of the neglected, abandoned inner child. It's pretty interesting. They say, in order to fall in love you need to be in touch with your inner vulnerability and to show that to others, and even elevate that to the *outer* part. The inner child cannot be fooled because it only responds to others' energies and love.

Chaim Amalek writes: Oy vey. Do you mean to say that the friendliest man in your shul is a homosexual who by his very conduct marks himself for death at the hands of torah-true jews? Did you set off his gaydar? I think the two of you, the next time you are in the mood for some porn, ought to read Dr. William Pierce's penetrating look at the gay mindset. It appears this week and is a keeper.

If I were you, I would use this guy to learn more about the gay underground of jewish orthodoxy. Is there such a thing? How many jews are in it? Is there a lesbian counterpart? (What really goes on in a mikvah?) To what uses do gay jews put those leather straps, anyway? Could it be that jews are even more perverted than is commonly supposed?

Jew and Gentile; heterosexual and homosexual; negro and caucasian, Aryan racialist and zionist - it is your destiny, Luke, to serve as a bridge between hitherto separate peoples.
