Days Of Whore
Joe writes Luke: THIS IS THE WORST PIECE OF CRAP I HAVE EVER SEEN.They said it was going to make it so it was something we never saw. Granted it was original but as a porn fan i like more sex. KRISTI MYST looked great as always but she is a great sex performer (now i hear she is leaving).When men rent or buy a adult video they want something to jerk off to.To tell you the truth i turned it off about half way through,this was not erotic or kinky just wierd.They say (extreme) says they spent so much money on this film ,and i can see how but in my opinion you make a video or movie to jerk off to if you are alone,if your with your partner this is not the type of porn she would like to see. just to let you know my wife saw you on E she thinks your hot.She made me type this
Internet Insider
Here's the bottom line - this is a crumby time to be an adult webmaster. The business in America is heading down the tubes thanks to government crackdowns like the FTC bust of RJBT.
I hear that Yishai, who probably has more money and power than anyone on the porn web, quit buying webmaster traffic two days after the FTC bust of RJBT.
Most of the big porn webmasters will be in Las Vegas this week for AdultDex, a smaller porno version of ComDex. Rich and Bob Botto and the MaxCash crew will be there, fielding questions from webmasters like, "When do we get paid?"
Look for some big porn internet news to come out of the show.
I caught an interesting exchange on WebmasterLive.com chat Wednesday night between David, the owner? of Python Video which is headquartered in Amsterdam?
davidpython> got to scala
davidpython> the biggest reseler of content in eurpoe
davidpython> i give you info tomoorwoemail me at david@pythonvideo.com
For the scoop on Scala, click here. What is the connection between Python and Scala?
XXX says: Look at the FTC's history. They first nailed Xpics, which claimed to pay about 20c a click, far more than anyone. Then IEG got investigated (FBI, IRS) because the media made them out to be number one. Then Crescent/High Society got busted. Now RB is perceived as number one.
Luke: But webmasters perceive RB as running an honest operation and those others did not.
XXX: Excuse me, who are we to know what is an honest operation and what is not. As far as the FTC is concerned, both Crescent and RJB are dishonest.
Luke: Is Ron Levi (owner of Voice Media which includes Cybererotica) working with the FTC?
XXX says: Sounds to me like the FTC sends him letters and he complies with them. Rather than him consulting them on what they should be looking for. That's hilarious. No major player would do that. When the FTC tells him to jump, he jumps. That's the extent of his working with the FTC.
If I was Ron, I would be scared because now he is the biggest net porner.
It's not easy to be an adult webmaster now because Yishai is not buying traffic, Xpics is not buying, High Society is not buying, Serge is not buying. Who are you going to sell your traffic to? The bull market in clicks is over.
You're going to hear from the FTC again in the adult net in the next three months. Even small pay sites get letters from such places as the Attorney General of Los Angeles because their office is investigating complaints about credit card charges.
The FTC's complaint against RJB does not sound like something that could not be beaten in a court of law. The complaint contains many inaccuracies. But even if they beat it in a court of law, they won't be able to operate normally. So what's the point?
What good does it do you to make $50 million. Because once your funds are frozen, it doesn't matter.
Serge Birbair tells Luke: "I believe that one of the first actions the new president will take, be it Gore or Bush, to unite the country, is to go after common evils, that Republicans and Democrats can agree on. And porn on the internet will be one of those evils."
Chaim Amalek tells Luke: "DAMN STRAIGHT THEY WILL. Is this "Serge" person a jew? He sounds like a prodigal son of the inner party. (Sorry, Luke, if you want to know what the inner party is, you will have to read Yggdrasil in depth. I am not permited to disclose this to you.)"
Luke: Yes Serge is a Jew, and something of a prodigal son of the inner party.
Adult webmaster YYY says: This RJB case looks like greed run amok. When they got into the dialers, those things are incorrigible ripoffs. RJB was pressing the envelope and it was just a matter of time until they got nailed. So I was glad to see it happen.
Luke: RJB had a great reputation in the industry.
YYY: If you're making $70 per signup for a $2:95 trial, somebody has to realize that somebody is getting ripped off.
XXX says to Luke: Nick@Ilynx.com aka Johnathan Alleby aka owner of Netpond.com totally bamboozled you and Lee Noga Friday afternoon. TDavid was too nice on Nick. And because TDavid was the host, you and Lee did not get to really drill Nick.
Nick is a smooth talking charmer, like John Bowen.
Friday was your golden opportunity to take a shot. Netpond is ragged around the edges, they're having problems with sponsors. They're not paying their employees. They have a lot of people hitting reload on the Netpond posting board but these readers are not clicking on the sponsors. Similar to l-keford.com.
You did not get to drill Nick about the threatening legal letter he sent Morgan Grayson when she walked away from Netpond. With Nick, it's threat, bully, bribe or die. That's how he works.
Like Kaiser and Meat Man, Morgan went from Netpond to Ron Levi's Voice Media operation.
How do you think Nick got Headless and Wenchy at Netpond to shut up Friday afternoon? But on your show Friday afternoon, Nick walked away looking like an angel.
On Monday, November 6, you published a damaging letter from JW. Here's an excerpt: "I have also been told of a disturbing quote that was relayed to me by 3 different people (who heard it first hand). I would not have believed it except two of the three people are people I would trust with my life. Around May of this year, Jonathan Silverstein, President of Cybererotica (and former crony of Seth Warshevsky) was overheard at an "adult internet function" as saying "RJB has big problems coming and they will never make it through the month of October. Mark my words, I know." It has also been said that "Python is next to go down" was also stated. RJB coincidentally was served Oct 27. Seems many other people that travel in Levy's and Silverstein's circles knew that the FTC was investigating RJB for a "long time" yet from all I have heard, RJB had no clue."
Johnathan Silverstein totally denies saying such a thing. Both Silverstein and Levi say they had no clue the FTC was investigating RJB. Yet a few hours after the publishing of JW's letter, Silverstein left Levi's employment. Is that just coincidence?
Levi and Silverstein say this was not related. That Silverstein left because they could not renegotiate a contract.
Johnathan writes Luke: "Luke, Absolutey not! I've tried to contact RB several times regarding this. He has not responded to my messages or emails. Hopefully we'll have an opportunity to discuss it in Vegas next week."
XXX says: But it looks so suspicious. Why, at such a critical time for Cybererotica and the whole adult net, would Ron Levi let Silverstein leave? It looks bad. We'll never know whether the two things were related because Levi and Silverstein have agreed on the story that it was over a contract renegotiation.
But we do know that Ron Levi talked Monday with RB before Silverstein quit. Perhaps RB wanted Silverstein's head and Ron gave it to him on a platter?
Netpond Meltdown
On Friday afternoon, Headless and Wenchy (two key Netpond employees) loudly proclaimed on Headless's radio show on Netpond radio that they had not been paid for weeks.
From the IRC chat Friday afternoon:
Wenchy (who ran the Netpond Chronicles through Oct 17 until Netpond fired her) would like to thank Anthony [Bishop] and Nick for f---ING my son out of Christmas.
Nick, Netpond owner, says: i am currently in dispute with meat,however i hope for a resolution shortly
Wenchy: Nick, put yourself in my shoes. After a week and NOTHING, what choice was I left with?? Anthony treats me like I have the f---ing plague or something... what's up with that?
Late Friday afternoon, Wenchy and Headless backtracked.
I posted MP3s of their earlier controversial comments but removed them Saturday night because the owner of the radio show objected to my use of his material.
On Saturday, Wenchy posted on the Netpond board:
It has been suggested and/or hinted at that my disagreement with Nickatilynx and Netpond earlier today was silenced by either threats or intimidation on the part of Nick, Anthony, and/or Netpond. I wish to state at this time that the issue was resolved simply by Nick and myself sitting down like rational adults, discussing the matter calmly and professionally, and reaching a mutually satisfactory conclusion. At NO TIME was I threatened, coerced, or otherwise "boondoggled" into "changing my story" or "backing down". The matter has been resolved to the satisfaction of everyone involved and, as such, is now a non-issue.
Along that same vein, a certain journalist seems to be making mountains out of molehills by posting snippets of conversations on a particular website. My only statement at this time is this: When statements and comments are taken out of context, and certainly when they are then mixed with other out-of-context statements and comments, it is very simple for the original intent and meaning to become distorted. Also, as I am relatively sure that the recordings available on said website have not been authorized for redistribution by their owner, I would like to suggest that you tread very lightly, Mr. Journalist, as those recordings are copyrighted material. As for those of you who read what is written on said website, my advice would be that unless you actually know everything that went on from the beginning, take anything you may read or hear with a grain of salt as the "author" apparently hasn't even figured out that Anthony and Bishop are NOT the same person. Enough said.
Dravyk writes on Netpond: Wenchy, please don't say "journalist" when referring to "him" ... or my barf reflex might kick in. :-)))
Luke says: Here are the U.S. District Court proceedings on the RJBT case. Could someone explain them to me please? Email Luke
It looks to me like the FTC is simply out to crush RJB, smash it, stomp on it and make an example of it to the rest of the industry. In other words, to put the fear of God into net porners.
They are going after RJB with deadly force and a take no prisoners
attitude. It does not appear that they simply want to remedy a few unfortunate
practices. It looks like they want RJB dead.

MaxCash Update
Brick Kane, Receiver from Robb Evans & Assoc. writes: R.J.B. Telcom, Inc. (R.J.B.) is in a dispute involving contractual issues. The issues are complex and too involved to meaningfully discuss in the short time we have to communicate with you.
In essence, R.J.B. has petitioned the Court requesting the Court to resolve this dispute and permit business as usual until a further hearing of the Court scheduled for December 7, 2000. The Temporary Receiver will be filing papers with the Court, which also request that business continue as usual. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled in the United States District Court on Tuesday, November 14, 2000 at 4:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time.
It is the hope of R.J.B. and the Temporary Receiver that the dispute will be resolved. Due to this dispute, we are unable to pay our Max Cash webmasters today as previously scheduled. We sincerely apologize. We will have more information on this situation early next week.
The Temporary Receiver is aware that some prior payments to webmasters were not honored by R.J.B.'s bank due to the asset freeze. The bank was not willing to selectively clear checks, as requested by the Temporary Receiver. The Temporary Receiver will also deal with this issue after next Tuesday's Court hearing.
Richard writes on Netpond: Maxcash webmasters are already giving them 30 days.. Octobers payments are on hold, so plus the beginning of November that's 42 days (potential) loss.. For me this is a LOT of money.. This is my living, how i pay my bills.. Sure maxcash have been very good to me, and reliable. But this is my bacon.. If on Tuesday we get word that cheques are being cut and the business is allowed to keep running, then great I will put up maxcash banners again..
Globiz writes on Netpond: As far as i can tell, the checks that bounced were the ones for October or earlier that people waited to cash until after the FTC got a freeze on the MaxCash accounts that were open at that time. One of the messages posted by someone at MaxCash was that they had opened some new accounts to take care of future payments. It's still possible that funds will be available from the old accounts if the reciever can get a judge to agree. All the reciever is is a neutral party who's designated by the court to insure that the assets of the company involved are protected for the benefit of both sides in this litigation.
Kevin writes on Netpond: In order for Max Cash to disburse funds they must get approval from the court. If you have ever dealt with a company in a similar situation like in the middle of Chapter 11 you know the court must approve disbursement of funds. Until this is resolved you will now have to wait for a judge to say it is okay for you to recieve your check. Nothing more. It is a pain in the ass and will continue to be until the case is resolved. I am sure the government did that to try and squeeze Max Cash into settling.
Serge writes on Netpond: Did RB know 10 days ago that he won't be able to pay on 10th? if you think that the answer is YES and you are smarter than the average bear to say "he didn't know", why do you think only yesterday he went public?
I heard somewhere that RB's monthly payroll is only $6,000,000 a month, what kind of snow ball effect those $6 mils gonna have on people? all I know that our webmasters won't get paid untill RB does...I have no idea what they gonna do for XMas.
G writes: Maxcash has failed to send out payments for the first time in their history...people are talking about assets being frozen..for any other program this would be a blatant red flag to STOP USING THEM...but for maxcash it's the perfect opportunity for webmasters to prove their blind loyalty because of a bandwagon.
There are two kinds of webmasters. Webmasters who care if they're going to get paid, or webmasters that need to prove their loyalty.. It's all about priorities...If MaxCash gets out of this unscathed, I know that i'll be putting my banners back up. But until then, I sleep better at night knowing that the fate of MY money is NOT at the mercy of the legal system..but in my OWN hands.
Lee Noga writes on Netpond: The first signs of a collapsing company [leave media out, they skew things] is the internal staffing. Not 1 person inside the MaxCash camp that I have heard of has bailed looking for a job on the sly. In the case of IEG, first business day after they exhibited at an IA the peeps were looking for new jobs, and thats before the FTC came in....it odd, but soon made sense.
Drill down further, and break up the RBJ staff into foreground and background staff [graphic designers, tech ppl etc], names you never heard of, they are happy, have morale, and still are employed. Webmasters need their money, so do employees of companies, if nobody has mentioned this, Xmas comes on the same day for MaxCash employees too. But note, no changes in staffing. Why is this? If there were problems the first signs would be cuts to the background staff, no movement has been detected in the group of peeps MOST expendable. To me this is a reliable "litmus" test of a companies infrastructure. So this tells a story.
I've heard from different people that my Tuesday show of Luke F-rd Live was the best ever.
James DiGiorgio was my cohost and my first guest was Gene Ross of Gene RossExtreme.com, who later transcribed our conversation for his site.
Other guests included attorney Charles Carreon from the Sex.com lawsuit and QuasarmanRants.com.
Luke: Jimmy D. We have a special guest. I believe we have Gene Ross on the line. Is that you Gene?
Gene: Yes it is.
Jim: Get the f--- outta here.
Gene: Well, you get the f--- outta here.
Jim: Get the f--- outta here.
Gene: You get the f--- outta here. I can say f--- now. I don't work for AVN.
Jim: You can say that stuff now.
Gene: Yeah.
Jim: You don't have to put all these pretenses on. Like, I'm a very civil person.
Gene: Yeah, now I can get out the baseball bat from the closet and be like Rob Spallone.
Jim: Hey, go for it, man. You know what, Gene? I'll buy you a bat.
Gene: Hey about a Mickey Mantle autographed.
Jim: You'd like that would you?
Gene: Absolutely...a nice thin handle and a big barrel, kinda describes my penis.
Jim: A Louisville Slugger, huh?
Luke: Jimmy, I'll bet you've found ways to see Gene's appendage.
Jim: Oh man.
Gene: He's seen my participles and my quotation marks.
Jim: I think I've seen his dangling preposition or something. Gene can I shoot you in a scene?
Gene: We'll negotiate. I'll have you talk to my people.
Jim: You're not going to come on the set and be one of those blue buddy guys are ya?
Gene: I might. It depends on the girl, I guess.
Jim: Okay. That's not the way it works, Gene.
Gene: You mean I don't get to make the rules?
Jim: No.
Gene: I thought now that I left AVN I got to make the rules.
Jim: You were in a better position to make rules when you were there. But now.
Gene: But I can be even in a better position. I can be in a horizontal, vertical, missionary...
Jim: Gene, you're one of us now. You're a carny.
Gene: Well I always felt like one of you.
Jim: Now you're a real carny. That's what we are to the rest of the world.
Gene: Albeit a tanned carny
Luke [sensing he's losing control]: Let me just introduce Gene Ross to everybody because we have a lot of webmaster listeners and they may not be as attuned with Gene Ross as they should be. Gene Ross has been the preeminent source of information on the adult industry...
Gene: Aaaah, come on, Luke you embarrass me.
Luke: He's been running editorial for Adult Video News, the preeminent adult trade publication in the industry. He has operated geneross.com for the past 18 months, and he stunned the industry about a month ago with the announcement that he was leaving AVN his employer for at least 15 years...
Jim: We were all stunned...
Luke: Yeah, we were all stunned, and moving over to Rob Black's company, Extreme Associates, which has really yet to find their touch on the Internet. They've got some nice stuff but we'll be expecting much bigger things from them...
Gene: I think you can expect that..
Luke: Gene Ross now has a website which he's updating frequently, generossextreme.com. He is a guy who knows almost everyone in the adult industry. He's been around the block more than once.
Gene: You remind me of this girl who came into the office. She grabbed my ass and she says, 'you've got a pretty nice butt for an older guy.'
Jim: That should get her like an extra hundred bucks on her scene rate.
Luke: Hey, Gene, what do you miss the most about working at Adult Video News that you've been gone about a week?
Gene: It was closer to home, I got to drive ten more minutes. But I'm being glib. I don't know. It's too early to tell,. I do like the hustle and bustle here. This is a very active environment. It's a lot crazier than it was over at AVN. If you can picture the movie M*A*S*H where you've got a scene where 33 people in a scene are all talking at one time and having 33 different conversations, that's what you've got over here.
Luke: Right. Hey Gene we've got a lot of complaints here at the chatroom. Various webmasters are logging on and they're not able to pull up your site on Netscape.
Gene: I know. We're working on that. It's one of these little bugs that has to be ironed out.
Jim: Even I figured out to go over to Internet Explorer.
Gene: There you go.
Luke: So what do you like best about your new job working for Rob Black?
Gene: What I will like best about it, is just the diversity of it. I think there's more that I can do here and more that I can write and have a different form of expression. I've only been doing this for several days, so like I said, we're trying to iron out some of the bugs from the system; still trying to figure out what some of these doggone buttons are here on this new-fangled computer. But once we get that done, it's going to be pretty good.
Luke: So how many porn stars come through the office each day?
Gene: It's like a turnstyle here. Your girlfriend was over here today, Luke.
Luke: Kendra [Jade?]
Gene: You see, right away you knew. Kendra.
Luke: My sweetie?
Gene: Yeah, your sweetie was over here. But I don't know. She looked like she was cheating on you, Luke. I mean she was kissing up to a lot of people here.
Jim: I noticed your Tom Zupko was kissing up to her pretty good.
Gene: Zupko's reserving his affections strictly for Taylor St. Claire.
Jim: Right and KJ straightened him up real quick. At least that's what it looked like to me.
Gene: KJ?
Jim: Kendra Jade. We affectionately refer to her as KJ
Gene: Okay. That's like porn carny talk. I got to assimilate that in my vocabulary now.
Jim: Now that you're a porn carny you gotta learn that stuff,
Gene: Gene: I gotcha
Luke: When do you think you might do your first sex scene, Gene?
Gene: Let's see. About 253,000 sit-ups from now.
Jim: C'mon. You're in pretty good shape
Gene: Well I want to get into better shape. I want to be really, really buffed.
Luke: Hey, Gene. I got an email here from Goddess and she wants to know if this whole Extreme-thing doesn't work out, will you start working at the Bunny Ranch?
Gene: If they can guarantee me $40,000 a week I'm there. But the problem is I don't think I could match the orgasms the women could have.
Luke: How many times can you ejaculate in a day?
Gene: I don't know. I never really tried, Luke. How many can you do?
Luke: Probably three.
Gene: Really. That's pretty good.
Jim: Just to let you know where that one's going.
Gene: If I'm on my diet of Yohimbe Bark and DHEA and all that other kind of stuff I probably could do about three or four, yet.
Jim: Luke buys Kleenex at Kosco by the case.
Gene: And I heard he's on a first-name basis with the check-out girls.
Jim: Yeah.
Gene: In fact I think they call him Clean Hand Luke over there.
Jim: I bet you half the audience doesn't know what movie that's derived from...Tod Hunter would know.
Gene: Are we having a generational-thing here? Only guys 25 and under? Jim: I'm not even sure Luke would know what movie that's from
Luke: Cool Hand Luke
Jim: Very good.
Luke: I've never seen it, but I've heard about it
Gene: You read about it in the history books
Luke: Is there any sort of sex that you will not perform on camera?
Gene: Any kind of sex I would not perform...
Jim: Anal sex with you as the catcher
Luke: Don't be homophobic, Jimmy D
Jim: I don't think he'd go there
Gene: I don't think so. Gene don't do that kind of stuff
Luke: Would you do a he-she, Gene?
Gene: I don't know. I've seen some really attractive she-males.
Luke: Would you accept a blowjob from one?
Gene: I'd have to be looking the other way and thinking of you.
Luke: Would you consider using me as the second guy if you needed to do a double penetration?
Gene: Absolutely, buddy. You could be first base to my second base anyday.
Luke: Hey, Gene if I wasn't a porn journalist, what line of work do you think I'd be best suited for?
Gene: Something that required a lot of vanity, obviously. [Luke guffawing]
Gene: I don't know, Luke. You're right where you should be - in Hollywood. You're ripe for the picking.
Jim: He's ripe alright
Luke: So where do you plan to go with your new position? What do you intend to do in the next few months?
Gene: We have a lot of work ahead of ourselves as far as the Extreme Associates website. That's going to be pay
Jim: Is your Gene Ross website going to be pay?
Gene: No. Just the Extreme Associates. We got to work on that one. But first things first. We just wanted to get generossextreme up and running, get it fine-tuned, get all the bugs worked out. We haven't as yet. But we're much more ahead of the game than I had expected.
Luke: It's said that Tom Byron are supposedly quote unquote roommates. What's the real scoop on their relationship?
Gene: Tom goes his way; Rob goes his own way
Jim: When you go to those shows, for a long time I noticed all those Extreme guys they like...
Gene: I'm going to have to get sunglasses and a black leather jacket
Jim: Are you going to sit there like you're in a high school cafeteria, just act real cool and just sit at the table and nobody talks to each other?
Gene: It'll be very easy for me.
Jim: I notice they do that a lot.
Gene: It's kind of like an image and you got to keep the image up.
Jim: I commented about that to those guys when I see them, but they're like too cool to talk
Gene: It's that public persona. Truth be told, these guys are really terrific.
Luke: Gene, do you think Rob Black and Extreme Associates are financially solvent?
Gene: Absolutely
Luke: So you don't have fears about getting paid on time?
Gene: Luke, I told you. I got paid a year in advance
Jim: Really? Wow. A year in advance.
Luke: Were there sexual favors thrown in?
Gene: That I'm not at liberty to comment on
Luke: Speaking of vanity, Gene, did you catch me on E! [last] Sunday night? Did I look good?
Gene: I'm sorry I missed that. I didn't know about it until after the fact. But it will play another 37 times between now and next week. I'm sure I'll catch it on the rebound. Did you look good, Luke? What did you think?
Luke: I thought I looked good.
Gene: Better than you normally do?
Jim: Luke had two different hairstyles
Gene: That's what I had heard. There was like the slicked-back Luke and there was the mullet-haired Luke as somebody described it.
Luke: They interviewed me about a month apart and I got a haircut in between
Gene: So how do you like yourself, Luke. As the slick-back mobster-type or the tussled boyish next door.
Luke: I prefer the long haired mullet-look. It made me look a little more wild and irresponsible
Gene: You want to project that image, too. Maybe you should be over here at Extreme.
Luke: Yeah, I really think that Rob should hire me.
Jim: You're paid in advance.
Luke: I'd settle for three months
Gene: Maybe we can swing these things. I'm telling you, Luke. You and I could be a devastating one-two punch.
Luke: I think so. Ask Rob to hire me
Jim: You probably don't want to comment on this, but it seems like that our friend Tod [Hunter] is a little slow getting out of the gate on his site. He's not putting much up there.
Gene: In his defense you have to realize that AVN started their nominations' meetings
Jim: Right. I better not rock the boat because..
Gene: Over two weeks these guys are sequestered like the College of Cardinals trying to elect a Pope.
Jim: Is this like a black smoke or a white smoke?
Gene: White smoke
Jim: You were a part of that before
Gene: Absolutely...now that goes back to an earlier question. So you said something I might miss. That is the one thing I would probably miss is that two weeks of meetings to determine the final nominations in each category.
Jim: Did Paul Fishbein have those meetings catered?
Gene: If a local pizzeria does catering then I guess you could say he had it catered.
Jim: Who's the head honcho of the meetings now that you're not there?
Gene: Mikey Ramone
Jim: I threatened him the other day when I was there when I met him. That was a smart move.
Luke: Does the amount of advertising that a production company places with AVN have any affect on the awards?
Gene: You're going to hate to hear this answer... [Luke guffawing again]
Gene: ...But no.
Jim: Luke, I can answer that question with a few words that would absolutely tell you that the amount of advertising that's places has nothing to do with awards...Sin City. They take a ton of advertising. You walk into the foyer there, you're not going to fall all over any AVN awards. Sorry, I'm not dissing these guys. I'm not trying to get down on them, but that's the plain truth. They're a perfect example.
Luke. Hmmm. So John Bowen, a friend of yours, speculates that you've got enough material to write six books on this industry.
Gene: The problem is five of those books I've already forgotten. Like the old expression I've probably forgotten more than most people will ever learn and that probably holds true.
Luke: My rejoinder to John is that in the final analysis Gene likes this industry. Gene wants this industry to thrive and therefore he's not going to publish information that would devastate the industry. What's your take on that?
Gene: I love the business but I'm not exactly someone who would sit down in an evening and watch a porno movie. I never have and I never will. I like the dynamic that operates the business, and I have no axes to ground. I have seen what anti-industry books have done. Like in the case of Jerry Butler in Raw Talent. That pretty much caved in his career. I don't see any need to do that either mentally or otherwise. There's nothing I need to purge from my system. I like being where I am. It's by my own choice. I've always made a good living with the business and it's something I heartily embrace. I really like the people I've worked with and met.
Luke: Gene, have you ever done steroids?
Gene: No. I wouldn't even know where the hell to get them.
Jim: I don't know where to get them either
Gene: And there's all kinds of them
Jim: I know where to get most other kinds of drugs but not steriods
Luke: How do you meet women?
Gene: Usually I reach into my pocket and pull out whatever I have there
Jim: Cash works
Gene: Cash works very well out here
Jim: That's the best way to meet girls
Gene: Absolutely At least in L.A. The east coast was a totally different thing. Los Angeles is much different than Philadelphia. It's tougher to connect on an emotional level out here because people are more career-oriented
Jim: While we're on the John Bowen subject. John says its okay for him to f--- the girls when they come in for an audition. What do you think?
Gene: That's his business.
Jim: Are you going to go there at Extreme?
Gene: If someone offers I'd be foolhardy not to accept. The flirtation-factor here is much different than it was over at AVN. I think when girls walk in AVN they're much set off by what AVN represents. When they walk into a video production company like Extreme or Bowen's place, it's a different set of rules. It's a different game already.
Luke: Have you ever had a porn star come in the AVN office and offer you sexual favors?
Gene: Never had, damn it. I've had a couple come in and take off their clothes during the course of an interview...
Luke: But they didn't offer to fellate you?
Gene: No.
Jim: Even Luke's been offered sex.
Gene: Luke's a good-looking guy. I might even fellate him if the occasion warrants.
Luke: So, categorically, Gene Ross has never had sex with a porn star at AVN?
Gene: Absolutely.
Jim: What's your take on the election? If George Bush is president do you think it's going to have an affect on the business?
Gene: A lot of people aren't going to like hearing this, but I think we'd be a lot better off with Bush. I just think he's got more in his closet to hide and he would be like Clinton. Too embarrassed that all this s--- would eventually come out. To me Al Gore is so pretentious and so Ivy League and so proper that I just think he'd be more susceptible to influence [to come after us]
Jim: You think he has his boxers starched every day?
Gene: Absolutely. There's a guy that's totally uptight. I just think that Bush is a regular guy and I think we'd be better off but everyone seems to throw up that argument about the Supreme Court judge and that there might be three or four to retire during Bush's term should he be in office and at least 200 federal judges that could come under his appointments, so I don't know
Jim: A lot of people have been predicting for a long time that if they come after any one, they're probably going to come after your boy over there.
Gene: I don't think so. I do think there's any specific targeting that is a part of their game plan
Jim: You guys push the envelope over there a lot.
Gene: Yeah. But I think if they would go after a company they would go after a company that's more high profile. Ask yourself some questions. Who's becoming more high-profile these days.
Luke: Vivid Video.
Gene: Somebody who has aspirations for an IPO.
Luke: Right
Gene: Strategically, if I would go for busts I would go after somebody like that. [Gene sez: In a nutshell, it's all about money. You go after the companies that can shoulder lofty fines.]
Jim: But those guys are mostly putting out vanilla porn.
Gene: I don't think that makes a difference. I don't think you could get a conviction these days on a federal obscenity trial.
Jim: I think you're right....I think it's very politically-motivated. I think it's got a lot to do with going after porn in general. They all want to deny it.
Gene: I think video companies would be the least susceptible to be targets. I think the Internet is on the tip of everyone's tongue, and if there's going to be any cases made, it would have to be there. That would have to be the battleground.
Jim: I agree with you
Gene: And it strikes me, too, and there's another anti-Gore argument. Gore is very technologically hip when it comes to the Internet. Two things Gore absorbed growing up as a politician - he made a point of learning specific technologies and aspects that a lot of people didn't want to embrace and that's his forte. Also on environmental matters.
Luke: Well, it's been a great honor to have you on the show.

The Extremely Kinky Phone Tails Of Gene Ross
Jamie Lisk writes on RAME:
OVERALL RATING: 5+ 80 Mins.
DIRECTOR: Paul Fishbein Armageddon
THEMES: Older Guys Calling Younger Guys.
CONDOMS: None 2000 (2/00)
STARS: Luke F-rd, Gene Ross, Tod Hunter, Ramsey and Tom Byron
Scene One: Gene Ross enters the room! He has presence. He now works for Extreme so he's got to get that "edge" thing going. That chip that he never had... well, he's got one now(sigh). He walks over to the phone and calls Luke F-rd. Luke is a rather likeable kind of guy who is just finishing up his cut and paste for the day! Luke answers the phone. On the other end Gene swears that this call is off the record. Gene Ross is lying because he's got that "edge" thing going. He's a bad ass now! He works for Extreme now! But as the audience finds out, Tod Hunter has been listening in the whole time! Tod keeps wondering why no one is mentioning his name.
Scene Two features Ramsey and Tom Byron. Ramsey hates Tom Byron for what Tom's best friend said about a guy named Stagliano. Tom admitted that what Rob said was wrong but Ramsey still hates Tom Byron. Ramsey doesn't even really know Tom Byron but he still hates Tom Byron. Nobody knows why Ramsey hates Tom Byron but he stills hates Tom Byron. The highlight of Ramsey's life is when Tom Byron mentions his name in an interview but he still hates Tom Byron. Fade To Black!
The twist ending - Ramsey is Tom Byron.
Several months later, Tim Evanson mentions in his Sodomite Review that the phone call was simulated, it seems Gene just couldn't dial it up for the tight ass!
THIS IS A PARODY - Ramsey, you still write the best posts. Luke, you still write the best porno gossip/news.
Robert Lombard Says Respect This
Robert Lombard of Creative Image Management http://www.creativeimagemgmt.com writes..I MUST take issue with the Fade To Black scenario. ADULT STARS do crossover and given opportunities to work in mainstream. LOW BUDGET movies yes, but mainstream it is! DAVE CUMMINGS on Hollywood Squares.you never can tell. If he wins the Sex Survivor 2000 contest you just might see him on Hollywood Squares. The popularity of the Adult Stars and the business in general is becoming more and more acceptable. I speak with knowledge and experience...Adult Stars like Herschel Savage, Joel Lawrence, Chloe, Tina Tyler, Julie Meadows, Ava Vincent, Shyala LaVeaux and others CAN ACT...they know how to develop the character, they bring something more to the table then just memorizing dialog etc. HOW CAN I SAY THIS...BECAUSE I have had the HONOR and PRIVILEGE to work with everyone listed. MAYBE they will never be big stars and that is only because MAINSTREAM is still scared to allow this find group of talent to move forward! We have dense people in all genres...but the girls and guys I have listed above are not dense! I am proud to one of the fore runners to bring this group of talent into mainstream.

Jesse James On MSNBC
Susan writes on RAME: I was watching one of the news channels--maybe MSNBC--on Wednesday, and they had a reporter in Tampa talking to diners at an outdoor restaurant, asking them what they thought about the election. He approached a table, and spoke with five people, the last of which was porn starlet Jesse James, who lives in Tampa. (The reporter didn't make reference to her line of work, of course.) Anyway, guess what? Of the five people interviewed, only Jesse said that she didn't vote.
Brandy Alexandre writes: So Jesse has no interest in how the next president may or may not criminalize what she does for a living? Anyone in the porn industry who didn't vote should be fined by the FSC or kicked out entirely. I defend porn as much as I can when people toss the blanket "stupidity" stereotype over them, but sometimes I just have to let it fall where it belongs and point out as best I can that I am an exception to what appears to be the rule. Wouldn't it being interesting is Jesse's vote made the difference? What a moron.
Rumdar writes: Luke, What if alleged moron Jesse had voted and marked the ballet for Buchanan. Should she be allowed to vote again?

Luke Needs To Get Off Masturbation
Xpolly writes: Luke- I hate to break it to you, but you need to get off your high horse and perhaps re-read the bible. The story of oden is not about masturbation, it about the brother's attempt to get his dead brother's wife pregnant, as it was understood in that day. God killed oden not for just "spilling his seed" on the ground, but doing so after pulling and not leaving his seed inside his sister-in-law. that is why god was angry. I challenge you to find any other reference to masturbation in the bible and how it is bad.
Sin City director Michael Raven writes: While I can appreciate your attempt an answering such a laughable position on masturbation, it would certainly strengthen your position to get the names right. The biblical reference to make to Oden is incorrect. It was ONAN who "spilled his seed on the ground". Perhaps you were confusing him with Odin, the father of the gods in norse mythology.

One Man's Struggle
From www.victimsofpornography.com
Shame. It's an emotion we've all felt and all of us desperately try to avoid. In fact, the episodes from my life I'm about to share with you were so private and shameful to me that at one time I very nearly killed to keep them a secret. I paid a terrible price in my life for these secret shames. Unpleasant and uncomfortable though it may be for me and my family to look back at these terrible times in my life, I want to help others from having to pay that same price, to live alone with the shame of an escalating addiction to pornography.
I'm often asked, "Why you? Other people look at pornography without letting it get a hold on their lives. Why were you different?" Before explaining just why I was open to this kind of addiction.
Let me warn you that I think there are thousands if not millions of men out there who are no different from me at all ... Click here: Former Porn Addict
Selling Your Vote
Rumdar writes: minimum amount of money you would have had to have been paid on election day in order to get you to sell your vote to the other guy? Luke.. I am a Democrat voting deep in the heart of Tejas. No one I voted for had a chance of winning. Tell Chaim he could have bought my vote for say, errrrrrrrr! five bucks.
Luke says: I would've sold my vote for $100.
Ron writes on RAME: Democrats take note -- the way to win the next election is to increase porn viewing to more locales. By increasing the locales watching porn, they will increase the supports for the democrats. No wonder the republicans want to ban porn. They are trying to ban their opposition orgies -- I meant -- parties.
Porn Needs A Ralph Nader
Torris writes on RAME: As long as porn thinks that b/c it exists on the margins that it can continue to rip customers off and issue a substandard product for a premium price it will never deserve to be respectable in society. We need a Ralph Nader for porn like what he did for the Corvair in the 60s
Here's a lesson that few of the porn producers have ever learned. You can shear a sheep many times but skin him only once. Very little has changed Tal. Back in the old days it was women on the box not in the movie. Today it's double and triple charging your credit card for a "free trial". Why don't you just admit Tal that there is a certain segment of the porn production end that will always try and rip it's customers off b/c they know that they'll either be too squeamish to complain to the authorities or know that the authorities won't care when is this industry going to start holding it's worst offenders up for public scrutiny as the black sheep that prevent the entire group from societal legitimacy.
Just once Tal I'd like to see some real plan rather then the same tired platitudes. You're not sorting out anything and things aren't getting better from the continual offenders. I have a suggestion Tal for your attempt to make things better if you really do care about the issue. Why don't you go to Paul Fishbein at AVN and convince to let you write a Consumer Advocate column in AVN. Where people who have been ripped off by the industry whether it be by buying a censored DVD or porn companies who charge for free trials can air the dirty laundry of the offending parties. Tal?? You still there??? Hello? Hello?
Mass pornography production unit 29 years old, to be further Developed Under the Hearty Guidance of Luke F-rd
Pyongyang, November 10 -- Today marks the 29th anniversary of the mass pornography display production unit. The unit has a mission to create and disseminate mass pornography and guide the work to develop it under a long-term plan.
The unit has so far created some 30 pornographs of 30 and 28.7 frames per second using celluloid base materials derived from the People's Victory Cellulose Plant in Hardonbong. Such porngraphs mark the occasion of significant national holidays such as "Song of Korea" in 1977, "People Sings of Leader" in 1982, "Prosperous Juche Korea" in 1987 and "Single-hearted Unity" in 1990. Five of them including "Under the Banner of the Luke F-rd" in 1999 and "We Will Defend Red Flag Under Leadership of Marshal" in 1996 were awarded "people's prize."
This prize is conferred upon those units that have achieved spectacular achievements in the fields of science, technology and literature and art. Recently the unit produced the mass pornograph display and artistic performance "Ever-victorious Worker's Party of Korea" involving the largest mass copulation ever witnessed on the Korean penninsula, far exceding any staged by the Japanese during their criminal occupation of Korea. It was praised by spectators as the best masterpiece for its good combination of efficient movement and successful introduction of a huge slide and film projector for strong effect on the background and other means.
The unit has creation and production, ejaculatory, background and music departments, an orchestra and a part-time thimble training needle trade school. It is playing a great role in the dissemination of mass pornographic display not only at home but overseas. It has helped at least 76 countries in the creation of more than 90 mass copulations, thus contributing to strengthening friendship, unity and cooperation with those countries. It was awarded "Kim Il Sung Order" in November, Juche 74 (1985).

Luke Gets Mail
Mike writes: "I heard that there was an actress who lost her child and Jewel D'Nyle contacted many starlets in order to raise money for her cause. This is great stuff!! Is it true? Do you know? "
Rumdar writes Luke: Why are you telling her the truth? Are you looking for a "Merit Badge" or something. Lie to her like all the other guys did. Then go for the notch.
Tough Questions For Luke
Rumdar writes: Luke.. Tonight I dined at a new restaurant in town, the King David. For a guy used to eating with the Jews at Carnagie Deli or Katz' this was somewhat of a culture shock. Meat in one room and dairy products in the other. One guy was bobbing back and forth at the table (do you bob when you pray)?. Everyone had some form of head gear on. (would I fit in better if I wore my Astros baseball cap)? The chow was great and the prices reasonable (chicken schnitzel with roast potatoes and fresh veggies $8.99)..
Now here is the deal. Two young tasty looking waitresses from Israel. I chatted them up. They were both cute but the tallest was outrageous. Thin with deadlocks and dark skin. The question is, what kind of Jewish gals are they? Desert Princesses? What is with the dark skin? Does Luke date these earthy, authentic, sultry beauties? Why would you seek out neurotic American Jewess' when you might be able to score the "real deal"? Instead of courting The Pepster shouldn't you have "gone native" (as it were), during your trip to Israel?
Luke Chooses Money Over Morality
Sitting in synagogue Saturday morning listening to the reading of the weekly Torah portion, I was struck by its application to my own life.
First, here are the verses (Genesis 13:10-13):
"So Lot raised his eyes, and beheld all the plain of the Yarden, that it was well watered everywhere, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah...Then Lot chose Sodom... But the men of Sodom werew wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly."
Now, here's the commentary from the Stone edition of the Artscroll Chumash (Pentateuch):
LOT CHOOSES MONEY OVER MORALITY
Seeing that the two could not live together, Abraham gave Lot the first choice of where he would live. Lot chose the richest part of the country, even though it was also the cruelest and most corrupt. Perhaps he thought, as many do in all times, that he could enjoy the Sodomites' wealth without being affected by their evil. As usually happens, he was wrong.
10. So Lot raised his eyes: Finding Abraham's offer appealing, Lot seized the opportunity to leave the morally constricting company of Abraham and settle in a rich part of the land. He raised his eyes and let himself be guided by his senses.

Prayer scares me. What if God actually listens and gives me what I ask for - love of God, love of Torah and the desire to pursue God's Law? I'd have to change my life.
Five reasons to rid your community of pornography
1) ECONOMICS. Pornography consumption adds to the cost of police services, the courts, the jails, etc., especially in communities which have “adult” bookstores, theaters, and peep-show booths. CyberErotica consumption supports the prostitution business in communities, and adds to costs of dealing with that offense.
Ian replies: "If pornography was legal such costs would be much reduced, to the level necessary to control the kind of pornography most people (including me) think should be controlled e.g. child pornography, snuff videos. Moreover, the pornography industry is extremely important economically. It would be an economic disaster (in my opinion) if it suddenly disappeared."
2) PUBLIC SAFETY AND HEALTH. XXXPassword promotes sexual behavior which fosters or enables the spread of the AIDS virus and other sexually transmitted diseases, most of which are increasing at alarming rates. Peep-show booths and so-called “adult” theaters are simply masturbation parlors or locations where illegal sexual intercourse occurs. They promote disease and the public health and safety are imperiled.
Ian writes: "From what I've read in your column, it appears that AIDS is extremely uncommon in the porn industry - understandably so, since participants need control by testing for their own protection. I suspect the danger of AIDS is much greater from sexual activity outside the industry.
"With regard to masturbation parlours, my answer is 'so what?' Masturbation is an enjoyable and totally harmless activity. As regards 'illegal sexual intercourse', if people want sexual intercourse they do not need to go to an adult theater to get it. As regards public health and safety, a tolerated industry is likely to lead to healthier and safer locations. Ignorant condemnation by society is more likely to promote 'hole-in-corner' unhealthy conditions."
3) MENTAL HEALTH. Cybererotica is a sex education teacher of our children and adolescents. The age group which views – consumes – pornography more than any other age is the group between 12-17 years of age. It can be predicted that this age group is most likely to be negatively affected by exposure to pornography. They will grow up with unrealistic, often morbid, ideas of what to expect from sexual relationships.
Ian replies: "I agree that there should be rules designed to control access by children to pornography. However, it would be strange if what adults legitimately want to look at was controlled because of the possibility that children may see it. (Should boxing be banned in case watching it promotes violent behaviour in children?) In any case, I know of no evidence that decently brought up youngsters have been harmed by viewing pornography (If they had been there would be few undamaged youngsters around, since all but the incurious will have seen some pornography). Horrible children tend to have been brought up by horrible parents."
4) MORALITY. Our society goes to great extents to bring out the best in our citizens, to nurture and develop our finest qualities. Yet, Cybererotica appeals to the prurient interest. It touches the dark side in us and brings out the worst in us. It promotes the degradation of women. It is an intolerable, unacceptable, social stigma. Women are not just play-things.
Ian replies: "This is essentially an unsubstantiated litany of abuse. As regards to the statement that there is an 'unacceptable social stigma', you are right, but that doesn't mean that the stigma is justified. A Greek philosopher, Antiphon, once said: 'It is disadvantageous and even dangerous to breach man-imposed norms if the breach is observed by those who impose them; but there is no inner necessity attached to them, and nobody need be ashamed of breaking them; shame and punishment are only sanctions arbitrarily imposed from outside.' Wise words, in my opinion."
5) RELIGION. America is one nation under God, in whom we trust. Equality is not fostered by BlowMeLive; unequal power is promoted. Sexual immorality and promiscuity are promoted by pornography. The image of God in mankind cannot abide along-side the deviance and unwholesomeness portrayed and depicted in pornography.

Ian replies: "This is a mixture of religious comment, against which it is pointless to argue unless one wants to get into theology, and other dubious statements. To say that sexual immorality is promoted by pornography is either a circular argument ('watching pornography is sexually immoral, therefore making pornography encourages immorality') or means that pornography encourages behaviour, other than pornography-watching, which is immoral. Since I suspect that access to pornography reduces the extent of rape, by providing a safety valve for strong sexual urges, I find the latter argument doubtful, to say the least. I do not know what the statement on equality means. However, the easy availability of pornography does promote equality in the sense that it gives equal access to virtual sex to the attractive and the unattractive - that is an important equality, I think."
Why Luke Failed With Japster
Chaim writes: Face it Luke, you are at best "outer party" and will never never make it into the "inner party". It is pointless for you to covet jewesses with inner-party aspirations.
Luke asks: What the hell does that mean?
Fred writes: If I understand correctly, Chiam is alluding to George Orwell's 1984, where there was an inner party and an outer party. The inner party was where all the power was. The outer party was where the hero, Winston Smith was.
Rumdar writes: I think what Chaim is saying, is that Jewesses with "inner party" ie. (social climbing) aspirations have their own agenda.......to find someone to get them there. That is obviously not you. And they have no intention of taking you along for the ride. I just saw the Linda Lovelace thing. Well done. "She became a sword swallower"... How tactful! You look great on TV. Linda looked like the living dead, which she probably is.
