Newses From Prague

Czech Jewish Chick writes: Jewish presence in the Czech Republic goes back 1,000 years. Jews are believed to have lived in Bohemia and Moravia as early as the tenth century - Jewish slave traders are mentioned there at that time - and established communities are known to have existed in the eleventh century. By the thirteenth century, Jewish life had begun to flourish throughout all regions such as Prague, Brno and Mikulov. By the sixteenth century, Prague was the center of Jewish life in Europe with renown Rabbis such as the MAHARAL, Rabbi Yehudah Leow (1510-1609) and the NODAH B"YEHUDAH, Rabbi Yechezkael Landau (1713-1793).

At the outbreak of the Second World War, there were about 90,000 Jews in Bohemia and Moravia, of whom nearly 80,000 were killed in the Holocaust. Most either died in the ghetto of Terezin or were deported from Terezin to Aushwitz. Under the communists, Jews in Czechoslovakia continued to suffer persecution. There was a thaw and an attempt to right wrongs during the short lived Prague Spring in 1968, but after the Soviet-led invasion, the Czechoslovak communist regime remained one of the most oppressive in Eastern Europe against all religious practice.

The communist regime saw its end in 1989 and Jewish life has begun to flower once again particularly in Prague. On December 31, 1992 Slovakia and the Czech Republic peacefully severed their federation partnership. Today the Jewish population of Prague numbers approx. 7,000. There is also a growing ex-patriot community and thousands of Jewish visitors annually.

Today being Jewish in Prague means making porno films and spreading the Oral Law.

Older Women

Lynne writes: Three men, friends of my brother, are sitting in the other room, looking through an old issue of AVN:

Voice One: Did you know Nina Hartley was in the "older woman" section now?
Voice Two: That's cool.
Voice Three: Yeah, I like older women. They know what they want, and they probably know what you want, too.

Last Saturday I met a woman who sold dog food at one of the pet shops at which we do vaccinations. She didn't look at all like she was sixty-five years old, which she was. Her first husband had died in his fifties, and she had taken a second husband who, at forty-eight, is seventeen years her junior. She said she wanted a young second husband so she wouldn't outlive another one (something with which I empathize totally.)

Devoto44: NO, I have found a woman, and waiting to play that out. I have been celibate, and have found that it is GOOD to be chosey about where you put your penis. Luzdedos1: wow, Jane? She's ten years older than you.
Devoto44: I havent "put" my penis there yet, but I do enjoy chatting with her and talking with her, and am planning to meet her. Perhaps we could travel north together?
Devoto44: What are your thoughts on age differences in relationships, MORAL LEADER?
Luzdedos1: My rebbe Chaim Amalek says men should be older, but I don't think so. I think it is a sign of your maturity that you can relate to an older woman.

Porn Actress Book Must Have For Taiwan's Teens

From Ananova.com: The autobiography of a former Japanese porn actress has become the latest craze amongst teenage girls in Taiwan. Platonic Sex has sold 70,000 copies since it hit the shops in December and discusses Ai Iijima's childhood, the sex industry and her move into acting and writing. But despite proving popular with teenagers, Taiwanese women's groups fear the book may encourage girls to enter the sex industry. One campaigner, Tang Li-yen of the Women and Children Protection Foundation, said: "It would encourage our young people to learn from Ms Iijima." But many teenagers say they admire 28-year-old Ai Iijima's open attitude to sex and find her eventful life inspiring. Veronic Hsieh, a 17-year-old student, has told the Straits Times: "I want to know how a former porn actress like her can finally find her way back to the right path and lead a normal life."

Vanity Fair Profile Of Hugh Hefner

Putative Marc writes: there's a new vanity fair mag profile on hugh hefner: very entertaining piece, however much of it might be bunk. something else i'd like to read about on LF.com are those women who have strayed from the playboy empire to do more rogue work. i believe there's one playmate, lynn thomas, who went on to do penthouse late last year, following in the footsteps of teri weigel. there's also a website x-mates.com which apparently offers playmates in more risque scenarios. another playmate, jenniferlavoie.com offers phone sex (see her site). this is juicy stuff. snap to it. i'd like to hear an episode of LF live that explores this area.

Earl Miller Finds Stolen Images On Luke's Site

Noted Penthouse photographer Earl Miller found images on Voice Media ads on my site that Voice Media does not have permission to use. One of VM's graphics people used the images by mistake, says a VM employee. VM is about to email webmasters to ask them to immediately remove the images. The banners on my site caught the eye of Miller which triggered the recall.

On This Day In Porn History

Goddess writes: Hey, Luke, i think you should consider doing a "This Day In Porn History" section every day and dazzle us with "blasts from the past," so to speak. Lord knows there are so many sparkling highlights to choose from. And you could do pornstar flashbacks. Let's start with this flashback: on this day in history 33 years ago, Mike South was sitting in Miss Elliot's 4th grade class stuffing his face with paste [oh, shur, he'll *say* it was kindergarten, but we know better], all the while doing a report on his favorite childhood book, "f---ing For Fun and Profit: The American Way." And that, my friends is the rest of the story....

Another Blow To Stephen Michael Cohen

From Wired.com:

Things were looking bad enough for Stephen Michael Cohen back in November, when he lost ownership of the domain name sex.com.

But that was just the beginning. Now, Cohen stands to lose income generated from sex.net, kinkymate.com, nastydate.com and a list of more than 80 other predominantly porn-related domains registered under his name.

Those are the terms laid out in a Friday ruling from a federal judge in San Jose, California, who authorized a legal advisor to collect income from any of Cohen's Web businesses to raise money for lawsuit damage payments.

In his ruling, Judge James Ware said the court would "take custody of any proceeds generated from the operation of any Internet domain name for which Stephen Michael Cohen is listed either as a technical, administrative or billing contact."

Jews and Programming

BMW writes: It is true that Jews can't even program the VCR to fire up during the Sabbath? I was told that the reason TV network bosses dump new shows and shows not expected to do well on Friday nights is because they can't watch then and don't care. But if a show does well there, like the new CSI where Marg Helgenberger plays an ex-stripper turned forensic investigator, they move it to another night. I think shows do well because of what they are and where they are and it's the curse of death to move it. So why can't the Jews just record it?

Luke says: Because of the Oral Law.

Lynne scolds: Network execs have access to pre-recorded videocassettes of all their offerings, not to mention assistants and household domestics who CAN fire up the VCR whenever they please.... On the subject of religion, I noticed, while re-reading Martin Gardener's "Fads & Fallacies in the Name of Science" during my recent bout with sinus flu and allergic reactions to tobacco, that Seventh Day Adventists seem to be mentioned more often than any other religious cult as having wacky beliefs. Apparently SDA's are the most irrational group on the planet! Luke, having been brought up SDA, must be forgiven his idiosyncracies, for they predate his conversion to Judaism and even his embrace of pornography...

Putative Marc writes: i knew a frum fella in high school who's family set the timer to watch "dallas" on friday nights at 9. they weren't gonna change the channel, either so the family sat through "the dukes of hazzard" beforehand. just the perfect way to spend your kabbalat shabbat. i think it's great whenever the jews get together on the telly to celebrate the holidays; on a "saturday night live" a few years back jerry seinfeld did a great seder skit (where he played elijah the prophet) on the second night of passover alongside half-jew rob schnider and married-to-a-jewess mike meyers. adam sandler, the jewiest of 'em all, was somewhere in there, too.

Kelly The Co-Ed 10

Patrick Riley writes on RAME: This series has played itself out.

Kelly The Co-Ed #10 2000--Heatwave Entertainmt Producer/Director: Jim Powers Featuring: Allysin Chaynes, Sabrina Jayde, Kat Langer, Alana Evans, Sharon Wild, Keki D'Aire, Kristina Black, Herschel Savage, David Hardman, Jason McCain, T.J. Cummings, Johnny Thrust, Steve Taylor, Rick Masters

Sharon is credited as Sharon Supernova and Thrust as Giuseppe. Allysin wanders around campus and tells us in voice-over that it's Greek Fest time when the girls have to perform something for the fraternities. This is not well explained but it seems to be something like putting on a magic trick or singing. It's not important. Herschel does his usual as the college dean with his side kick Hardman, both harassing Kat who doesn't seem to mind when Herschel takes off her bra--if she weren't so "white trash" this could have been OK. But even with a better girl the whole scene wouldn't work because it quickly descends into raincoater crap with a double cuntal and a DP. The last scene is a three man/ four girl BJ which makes the movie a little light on the scenes given that BJ's are generally clustered in the all BJ tapes these days.

Other scenes are the usual pointless passionless garbage. Allysin has been played out--retire! No anal for her. Sabrina is probably young enough but marginal face and those tattoos! (anal) Kat--white trash and oh, those tattoos too. (anal DC DP) Alana--played out; retire (anal) Sharon--only part of the BJ scene and never takes off her top. Keki--fat white trash. (anal) Kristina--part of BJ only scene.

Ron Jeremy On Mancow

Lee writes on RAME: Hi I was trying to stay up to listin to him on Mancow but I fell asleep. Did anyone catch it? What did he have to say? I know when Luke F-rd was on Mancow basicly called him a jackoff and hung up. But I think Mancow's cool with Ron Jeremy. If anyone heard it can you give an overview.

Hey Devon was on Mancow this mourning. She really didn't say much, they compared her to Brittany Spears. A caller called up and said he had some sorta blood fetish where he likes girls to bleed. Devon thought the guy was disgusting. Mancow talked her outta her cloths for a plug of her website. Some of the female workers from the station came in and Devon picked out the one with the best ass and one with the best "jugs". Mancow asked how many movies she did and she said 16. Shes 22 years old, and is engaged(spellcheck??) to be married. She hasn't had sex with her boyfriend in a movie but she does have sex with him on her website.

She said she got paid $5000 to be in Penthouse and she compared that to the only $600 she gets for a magizine like Club.

The Dumbest Thing A Webmaster Can Do

XXX writes: the dumbest thing an adult webmaster can do is to sign-up their site with avn and link back using their little logo banner. i used to send them hundreds of visitors /day. i got back maybe 2-3 /day from them. the presumed prestige of displaying the banner on your site is not worth the cost.

Adult Video Snooze Awards

"Grounds Keeper Willie" writes on AdultDvdTalk.com about the AVN Awards Show:

...the controversial nature of the magazine lies more with its position and influence in the adult entertainment industry than in its editorial content. With few exceptions, the news articles and printed information of the magazine takes a back seat to the massive pages of eye-catching advertisements, with reviews which are generally safe and middle of the road.

The show itself was a monotonous affair, where interest was aroused only on the basis of the gaffes which occurred during the presentation. The only reason for anyone to stay in their seat that night was to either receive an award, or to mock what was unfolding on-stage. Award presenters were sometimes announced, with only a couple actually showing up on stage. At one point, Jenna Jameson interrupted a presentation to announce almost cryptically, that Domonique Simone was needed by the hotel because her friend had apparently had a medical emergency. At first, I thought this was a prank, until I noticed there was no punchline (even the presenters were puzzled by this non-sequitur). A camera built into the podium floor was used as a "Pussy Cam" to capture a look under the actresses' dress...this rather cliche photography trick has been used since the days when Letterman followed Carson, and is now the novelty of almost every "hidden cam" website around. Unfortunately, this novelty (which was used infrequently) became the only inspired act during the whole show. Announcers would saunter on-stage and speak their lines unintelligibly, apparently never learning during their porn shoots that one should occasionally speak into the microphone. Inside jokes were told, many to the puzzlement of the audience who were denied any kind of context or explanation. Jenna had a few funny lines, but despite her superstar status, did not have the natural charisma to keep the Awards show flowing.

Luke Appears In Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous

I got my sewage fixed Tuesday evening, just in time to host Robin Leach Wednesday morning. He's taping a segment on me for his TV show "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous."

Whatever Happened To Pop Music Critic J.D. Considine?

Putative Marc writes: check out the new issue of JD constantine's mag, revolver, definite LF.com influence in there, since it features the musical preferences of a few porn starlets--nothing too special. revolver is a well designed glossy, although the cover of the latest issue owes more to the crude 7-11 style metal magazines of the '80s ... guess that's supposed to be ironic, so it's OK. where has JD been anyway?

Extreme Accounting 101 and Jews who own German Cars

Esad writes: Dear Luke, My sources within the Extreme Accounting Dept. tell me things were a little tense when their box company refused to complete their order without a c.o.d. payment in excess of $15,000.00! Rob was scrambling around like crazy to raise money to pay this vendor.

And on the other side of the financial spectrum, AVN Emperor, Paul Fishbein recently leased a $100,000 Mercedes, which he lovingly calls "Gino", in deference to the fact that the money he isn't paying Gene Ross allowed him to upgrade his transportation needs! Once again Fishidiot shows tremendous money management skills......maybe AVN on the newsstand part 3? Is this the same man who berates his friends for ordering veal in restaurants yet feels it is ok to drive a car made by a company that was a tool for Hitler and murdered his jewish ancestors? Don't you dare wear a fur to the AVN Awards Show but it is totally ok to drive a Nazi car? Paul donates money to the "Save a Whale Foundation" and then brags to his friends how much he has helped Ron Jeremy!

Fishbein is really pissed that stuff about his new car got out of the office! Seems that he preaches fiscal responsibility to everyone but himself! But on the otherhand he works very hard and who I am i or anyone else to tell him how to spend his money.

Germans Are Our Bitches

Bob Jones writes: As a Jew, and the proud owner of a cute little BMW convertible, I must take issue with esad's recent attack on Paul Fishbein. Yes, it is true that both Mercedes and BMW manufactured weapons for the Nazis. (Actually, come to think of it, so did a number of American asbestos manufacturers, in violation of the WWII embargo.) And it is also true, of course, that Nazis were murderous pig scoundrels, and also, that they were German. But esad's criticism leaves out a very important fact: Germans make good cars. I mean really good. Really, really good. The handling on my Z3, although not, I'm told, as fine as the Mercedes Kompressor, is an absolute work of art. Stable in high speed turns, firm but responsive. Each part fits together perfectly, there are no annoying vibrations or disturbances as in American, and even the finer Japanese, vehicles.

Further, although it could be argued that Paul and myself, by purchasing cars from our former sworn enemies, are endorsing and rewarding them for their misdeeds, I prefer to think of things differently. Every time a Jew purchases a German car, we reinforce the defining fact of Post-WWII relations: Germans are our bitches. That's right, our bitches. I enjoy thinking about Germans toiling in car factories, suffering under their oppresive neo-socialist state welfare system and high unemployment rate. Truly, it is the proper fate of Germany to cater to the every whim of Americans, and especially American Jews, by producing extremely fine luxury automobiles. Every time I grasp the perfeclty tuned steering, I think fondly of the Germans who, with the signing of a single check, I have made my bitches.

Girls Gone Wild

What do you know about the video series "Girls Gone Wild" (GirlsGoneWild.com) video series? Does the video company that produces the series gets consent from the women shown on tape. Are there any cases where women were unaware that they were being taped. I would love to know your opinion about the videos, and about how you feel about reality porn as well. Email Luke

The company that operates "Girls Gone Wild" is called "girls gone wild," but it appears to be a subsidiary of amx video and mantra films. Anyone know anything about them?

Slavik writes: Luke i've seen Girls Gone Wild crew filming few months ago and yes they do make all girls sign a release form. here is another one like it wildpartygirls.com.

John writes: Girls Gone Wild does NOT get model releases signed as far as I can tell. They have a disclaimer which says because the women revealed themselves in public in a "newsworthy" fashion that they do not need release forms. While that may or may not be true, what is more alarming is that they have no way of knowing whether the girls are over 18 or not. They've made lots of money off of those tapes. It would be interesting to see what happened if a girl featured on a tape decided to sue.

Did Tori Welles Convert To Judaism To Marry Paul Norman?

MrHollywood writes: I'm curious about something. This needn't be posted, just tell me if you know: Did Tori Welles (nee Britannia Paris) convert when she became Mrs. Apstein? Since they have kids together I thought she might have. This, of course, would make the sons Jewish, if their mother is. Just curious. I doubt your other readers are wondering but I was.

Luke: I believe she converted but not to Orthodox Judaism. Some watered down version of the religion.

Teri Diver Dead

Performer-turned-director Teri Diver died January 2, her husband Ren Savant told AVN this week.

"She had apparently taken too much of her headache medicine," Savant told AVN. "She'd been suffering from migraines for several years. When we were still together, [Savant and Diver were separated, but not divorced, at the time of her death] she had been to a neurologist and had several tests done. She had gone through several treatments over the course of about four years, and suffered from really debilitating headaches. A lot of times they're really elusive, and you can't pinpoint what's triggering it or what kind they are, so treating it is kind of a crapshoot."

The drug she was taking for migraines was "kind of an elephant gun," Savant said." You'd end up sleeping for 14-15 hours before it took effect. It's a commonly prescribed drug. I think she built up a tolerance, and apparently she took too much that night."

Porn Ace writes: Aside from Teri Diver being an exceedingly cute and energetic performer there was a very appealing down to earth type of personality that really came through on screen...I'm real sorry to hear about it.

Kid Vegas Vows To Shred Tod Hunter On Internet Gossip Sites

Kid Vegas writes Tod Hunter of InsideAdult.com: Oh yeah, what is all this bulls--- about these has been hookers like Tiffany Minx, who the f--- cares what they are doing, people who leave & try this bulls--- comeback, especially when their are girls struggling to make a name, help them, not these retards who quite & come back, & what is your deal. You don't seem to post too many of my messages. Are you too busy to print my stuff, too preoccupied with banging porn chicks? I hope this makes it to your site, because if it doesn't I am sure it will on Lukes, ainews, & genes, but with alot more about you. f--- this bull s--- you have up, lets have some fun, not a bunch of cry baby bulls--- that looks like a quota you are trying to make to keep your job there. Put some more interesting things up. You know who's Daddy Tod, & I know you won't put this up because your ego is way too big, right? So I have taken you down to be slaughtered this month all month, because you don't report on me, & you head is too swelled up. I am going to shred you like a paper shredder on all sites I can, to regain my title of internet King.

Extreme Tension

Esad writes: Dear Luke, My sources inside Extreme say tensions are high. Most of the employees really despise Gene. He adds nothing to the company, Rob figured out he cannot make money with Gene's site and people are pissed that he supposedly is making so much money.

The wrestling business is in limbo, though Rob is working to make it successful. Gene's adding nothing and the money is tight. that along with owing his box cover designer and others begging for money that'spast overdue, Gene looks like a casualty. However, Rob's a proud guy and doesn't want to admit he made a huge mistake hiring Gene. So he's holding onto him.

My inside source is checking out the validity of the story about Rob paying him up front. If it's true, Gene will be there exactly one year (if they stay in business that long). Also several Extreme employees were aware of the stolen AVN e-mails that appeared on other web sites. Be curious to see if any subpoenas ever come that way.

Concerned writes: With the constant rumors of cash flow problems at Extreme Associates I predict that it is only a matter of time until their deteriorating economic situation forces Gene Ross to start doing sex scenes before the camera. Can you say "Pre-Nom"?

Vancouver Kendra Discovers Lashon Hara

Lashon ha-rah - Gossip when true, slander when false:

"do not go about as a talebearer among your people." "You shall not nurse hatred against your brother." (Leviticus19:16-17)

"A hassidic tale tells of a man who went through his community slandering the rabbi. One day, feeling remorseful, he begged the rabbi for forgiveness, and indicated that he was willing to undergo any penance to make amends. The rabbi told him to take several feather pillow, cut them open, and scatter feathers to the winds. The man did so, and returned to the rabbi to notify him that he had fulfilled his request. The rabbi then told him, "Now go and gather all the feathers. Though you may be sincerely remorseful and truly desire to correct the evil which you have done, it is about as possible to repair the damage done by your words as it will be to recover the feathers.""

V Kendra writes: So Luka, Have you recovered all of the feathers yet, or have you even begun? Are you sure you want me to continue studying? Is this a mirror you wish to have held before you?

Luke replies: Yes, please keep studying and holding that mirror before me.

Living Up To Our Founding Fathers

Devoto writes: Luke, I noticed you have a link on your page to the Wall Street Journal. Imagine my surprise, Luke is moving to the "mainstream". I quickly clicked on this link and read it with the frenzied anticipation of a child on Christmas morning (for you Jews out there, it is like your birthday, but better). I expected it to be intelligent, well written and based on sound argumentation as I have typically viewed that publication with respect. However, I quickly realized why people use it to line the bottom of their bird cages. The over-all tone was condescending and elitist, and the content lacked any REAL basis in historical fact.

Murray writes that the changes in the accepted fashion of the day makes it impossible to "distinguish nice people from riff-raff". I can understand his dilemma, so I believe that we should start a campaign requiring "riff-raff" to wear something that sets them apart, so they are easily identifiable. I propose that from this day forth the "riff-raff" be forced to wear a STAR OF DAVID on their clothing, to be visible at all times. Furthermore, I propose that we simply segregate the "riff-raff" from the "nice people". To make this transition into segregation (one needs to be aware of the "riff-raff" at all times) easier, we will simply refer to the "riff-raff" as colored, and the "nice people" as white. This will also be cost-effective, as I believe we can find some of those "NO COLORED" or "WHITES ONLY" signs lying around somewhere.

Murray then goes off on a tirade about mere semantics. This made no sense whatsoever. He complains about the use of profanity in a publication, and claims that it is not befitting of the elite minority. However, Ben Franklin, one of our Founding Fathers, and member of the elite minority once wrote an essay on flatulence, and the effects different foods had on the scent. FURTHERMORE, if he is so aware of semantics and the proletarianization of language, why is he still using terms like "riff-raff"? Must be en vogue at his Country Club?

Additionally, Murray uses blanket assessments of how society used to be to make his point about how drastically things have changed. He sites what he terms the Gentlemen Code as the basis for the majority of his historical analysis. I assumed that Murray might know at least a minuscule amount about the history of America, as one of the premises for his argument is things USED to be better. However, I overestimated Murray. He knew very little about the history of America and it's Founding Fathers, or, to use one of his terms, the elite minority. His over-romanticized Hollywood version of history had to have been learned at the cinema, or in a private Ivy League Prep School (either way, I hope he can get a refund).

Murray states that this "code" of the elite minority would preclude a gentleman from taking advantage of a woman. I guess he did not learn of Thomas Jefferson's "affair" with a slave, or Benjamin Franklin's trip to France where he visited numerous "women of ill-repute." In addition, Murray states this "code" ensured that a handshake was the only contract needed, when in fact MANY of the elite minority reneged not only on handshakes, but on CONTRACTS as well. One needs only to look at the Native American's treatment for evidence of that (perhaps Dances with Wolves was not playing at the cinema the day Murray "learned" US history?). Murray, did, however see Titanic, as he states for the last portion of the Gentlemen Code that as the ship went down, the gentlemen waved good-bye to the women and children. Very moving, Murray, but once again not factual. During the "battle" at Wounded Knee, the women and children were not spared, BUT, they were waved good-bye to, in a perverse way. ALL of the above mentioned acts were committed by men who were members of the "elite minority".

In closing, we see that Murray attempts to use this argument (as unsound as it is) to point out that Clinton's presidency only added to this proletarianization of the US, and that we must contrive to get well. By his editorial opinions, I assume he voted for Bush. I think an illiterate, drunk driving, recovering cocaine addict somehow just wont fit the "bill". Perhaps what is REALLY happening is that America has individuals like Murray, with the time on their hands to research our heroes and icons and find some dirty dark secret that shatters the mystique behind this "elite minority"? Honestly, no one is perfect, and in this age of technology and information, people know exactly how imperfect everyone is. In addition, please show me a generation that has NOT thought the past was better in SOME way and that the present was simply the next step down on the spiral to chaos and immorality? I am positive Murray's parents told him Elvis was the devil and the Beatles were the four horsemen of the Apocalypse!

Luke says: Devoto, you're wrong. Charles Murray is great.

Devoto44: Murray has an over-romaticized idea of the past, and is mistaken it he believes this Gentleman's Code ever really existed SOLELY in the elite minority.
Luzdedos1: Jenna Jameson reads my site ten times a day!
Devoto44: WOW!! You should start using subliminal messages to "court"her!
Devoto44: I saw a few porn clips of her, and thought her to be the stereotypical Barbie porn babe, so I dont see why porn-fans view her so highly. BUT, I think my tastes are a little different than the "norm".
Devoto44: Dont misunderstand me though, I would not kick Jenna out of my bed for eating crackers.
Devoto44: Just curious, what do you do after your radio show?
Luzdedos1: relax, and then start transcribing it, and go to a torah class
Devoto44: Sit in the shower, rock back and forth as hot water rains on your body, crying and screaming "Why ME?" Devoto44: Is it enough simply to STUDY the torah, or must you implement it's teachings in your life? It looks to me like Vancouver Kendra is going to surpass you and will no longer be the student, but will soon become the master!
Devoto44: OH, I just thought with your roots in SDA and currently in Judaism that perhaps you felt as if you were the victim of an inner struggle of morality. Often you have mentioned your own PERSONAL views on porn, and it seems as if your PROFESSIONAL views must differ.
Devoto44: Furthermore, I know that you find porn titilating and interesting and sexually arousing, BUT, probably feel pangs of guilt every time you you "touch your inner-child".
Devoto44: NO, I have found a woman, and waiting to play that out. I have been celibate, and have found that it is GOOD to be chosey about where you put your penis.

Rodger Jacobs Bio

Rodger Jacobs writes Luke: Hey. I was working on my bio this evening, as I always like to send one out sometimes in lieu of a resume (a bio gives greater detail). Let me know what you think. Too much emphasis on porn? .......... Rodger

RODGER JACOBS BIOGRAPHY

Rodger Jacobs is an award-winning screenwriter, journalist, and documentary producer. As a journalist his work has appeared in a wide and diverse array of national publications.

Eye Magazine boasted their first complete sell-out issue on the stands with Rodger's November 1999 cover story Exhausted: The Dark Secrets of Johnny Wadd, a grueling account of his labors as associate producer on the controversial documentary Wadd (Winner of the 1999 South By Southwest Film Festival award for Best Feature Documentary).

Among the other features commissioned by Eye Magazine from Rodger Jacobs were Force Majeure, a grim look at the perceived increase in natural disasters worldwide; The Naked and the Dead, a sobering account of online purveyors of faux necrophilia videos; and Arrested Development, an examination of how the adult entertainment industry has emerged as a viable but highly questionable career option for American youth.

A frank and startling expose of B-movie pioneer Tom Laughlin, The Seven Deadly Sins of Billy Jack, graced the cover of the final issue of Eye, which ceased publication in July 2000 after six years on the stands.

For Hustler magazine from Larry Flynt Publications, Rodger Jacobs composed two feature- length investigative articles: Extreme Porn (February '99), concerning the extremities that mainstream adult video producers have gone to in order to increase market share; and Illegal Porn (August '99), an attempt to determine what pornographic material can be deemed illegal in a country that allows no Federal standard for obscenity.

In mid-2000 Rodger signed on as a contributing editor for E Commerce Business Magazine, an ill-fated venture from trade publication giant Cahners Publishing. Before Cahners pulled the plug on E Commerce after less than 12 issues, Rodger contributed several feature articles on the dubious future of electronic books, the Napster controversy, website performance measuring and monitoring, peer-to-peer computing, and several other New Economy subjects too arcane to mention.

Rodger's by-line has also appeared in the pages of Gen-X, Panik, Swank, Juxtapoz, Mind Kites, and numerous others.

Before freelancing, Rodger served as Editor In Chief of New Rave Magazine (Amlon Publishing) from September 1998 to August 1999.

Aside from the aforementioned Wadd: The Life and Times of John C. Holmes, Rodger has contributed to scores of documentaries as a writer and producer, including a trio of feature-length films for The Monterey Movie Company: Women: First and Foremost, World War II: From Bread Lines to Boom Times, and Guns of the Civil War.

Under the pseudonym Martin Brimmer, Rodger has been awarded the Adult Video News award for excellence in adult cinema on three occasions: Best Screenplay (Film) in 1999 for Looker, Best Screenplay (Video) in 2000 for Double Feature, and a shared prize for Best Sex Comedy with director Jonathan Morgan for M: Caught in the Act (2001).

Before abandoning adult films as a full-time occupation in 1997, Rodger earned the distinction of becoming the highest paid screenwriter in the forty-year history of the business.

Reporters frequently seek Rodger's expert observations about the $8 billion-a-year adult entertainment industry for inclusion in their articles. His comments have appeared in news stories for The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal, Salon, The Forward, The Industry Standard, and Online Journalism Review.

Prior to embarking on a writing career, Rodger relocated from his native San Francisco Bay Area to Los Angeles, where he practiced the Hollywood Shuffle for an interminably long period of time, aimlessly bouncing about in various occupations for several years including five years as a stage manager for historic Hollywood Center Studios, a hired gun screenwriter for low-rent producers whose checks somehow always miraculously cleared, and a stint as research consultant on the 1979 Walter Hill western The Long Riders.

He is divorced, the father of one daughter, and currently resides in Northern California.
