The Great Rob Spallone - Life Imitates Art?

My friend Rob Spallone was taken away by the FBI last Wednesday from James DiGiorgio's office and flown to New York for questioning. I think it's related to a New York Mafia stock shakedown [I later learn that Rob invented his role below].

DiGiorgio says Rob called him collect Friday. Rob didn't say much except that he was in New York and should be back in town Monday or Tuesday. Rob flew back to Los Angeles Tuesday afternoon.

Federal authorities describe the stock fraud as a cross between "The Sopranos" and "Boiler Room."

Rob Spallone is back in Los Angeles. I spoke to him Wednesday afternoon. Listen here.

Rob: "Wait until I chop off both your hands so you can't type anymore."

Luke: "Why would you want to do that?"

Rob: "Why were you putting stuff on the computer about me without talking to me first?"

Luke: "I couldn't get a hold of you."

Rob: "If I had your number, I would've called you collect. I was allowed collect calls.

"It doesn't matter. You shouldn't write about me anyway."

Luke: "I'm checking in to see what happened to you."

Rob: "Oh, so you can write more?"

Luke: "Depending."

Rob: "You want something to write? Write that I am a f---ing rat and that's why I'm out."

Jim DiGiorgio: "I'm making him some cheese sandwiches as we speak. I've got some nice f---ing Kraft American slices, some f---ing white bread... I'm making him some cheese sandwiches."

Rob: "Did you ever hear about a David Moore from Allure Modeling Agency? He's calling people threatening. 'You better f---ing pay, you Jew bastard.'"

Jim: "I know him. He's an asshole. I met him."

Rob: "He called up Fat Dog. You're a Jew. Russ Hampshire's a Jew. Russ ain't even Jewish."

Luke: "Is that the boyfriend of Keri Windsor?"

[Talent agent Robert Lombard writes: Luke, David Moore of Allure is not connected to Ms.Keri Windsor in any way. I met him over a year ago when he was pitching a couple of his girls. Not attractive to say the least. At that time he was doing telephone sales(adult product) and had desires to be a manager and go after World Modeling(Jim South) talent and of course find new ones. He claimed he access to 'all' the major female adult names. He wanted to know if he could work a deal with me with talent. Nothing became of it. I have seen posts and received Emails from sources outside the adult world about girls who have had misunderstandings with Mr. Moore.]

Rob: "He was saying, 'You better use my girls. And every time you use them, I get a $100.' And they didn't use any of the girls."

Jim: "That's extortion. That's against the law."

Rob: "Luke, find out who he is."

Luke: "How was New York?"

Rob: "Dark. Luke, they didn't do nothing. They picked me up Wednesday. They didn't come see me until Friday. They came for an hour. They said they'd let me free on Monday. Have a good weekend, they told me."

Luke: "Did they put you up somewhere nice?"

Rob: "Oh yeah. Real nice. A f---ing hole."

Luke: "Was it a prison?"

Rob: "A jail."

Jim: "They put him in a rat house because he's a rat."

Rob: "I'm a rat. That's why they let me come home."

Luke: "They put you in a jail."

Rob: "Yeah."

Luke: "Did you have boyfriends?"

Rob: "My ass hurts today. I'm sitting on a pillow.

"Luke, I don't want you to write stuff without talking to me."

Luke: "I talked to your spokesman [James DiGiorgio]."

Rob: "My spokesman is braindead. I'm convinced of it. I snuck him my pager when they picked me up [Wednesday]. And I told him to do three things... He did nothing."

Luke: "That's why I call him Jimmy the Retard."

Jim: "Robert Lombard said a racist thing on the show. He said that people that do that stuff [bestiality, child porn] should be locked up with 12 black guys with nothing to do... He didn't say lock them up with 12 white guys who have nothing going for them... He said black guys.

"Everybody wants to lock people up with black guys. Do you what I think people are saying about black guys? I think they're saying that as soon as black guys get in jail, they go gay. They're instantly queers."

Rob: "Luke, did you see Sopornos 2?"

Luke: "No."

Rob: "Why not?"

Luke: "I don't watch porn."

Jim: "How impressed was that guy yesterday when he found out that I was the director of The Sopornos?"

Luke: "He [Robert Lombard] was impressed."

Jim: "I know. Because he'd heard all about that movie."

Luke: "I know. It was like if you said that you were a friend of John Gotti, I'd be impressed."

Screams and yells of anguish from Rob.

Jim: "Sometimes you're a little over the top."

Luke: "That was a joke."

Rob: "You're a funny guy."

Jim: "Herschel Savage is he but he ain't saying nothing because he don't like you."

Rob: "I want to know why you wrote about me without talking to me."

Luke: "I couldn't get a hold of you so I got a hold of your official spokesperson [Jim DiGiorgio]."

Jim: "Rob Spallone spin doctor."

Luke: "And I didn't publish anything that he didn't approve."

Jim: "I told him, I don't care what you hear from anybody. You don't print nothing unless you run it by me first to say yeah or nay."

Rob: "Did he listen?"

Jim: "Yes he did. He didn't print anything except what I told him..."

Luke: "Where did they put you up the past few days?"

Rob: "In Brooklyn."

Luke: "At a safe house?"

Rob: "Yes. In the Witness Protection Program."

Luke: "Was this connected to that stock thing?"

Rob: "Yeah."

Luke: "I thought so."

Rob: "How did you know? Jim told you? Jim didn't know."

Luke: "I could just tell."

Jim: "They picked you up on Wednesday and then Thursday [actually Friday] it was in the newspaper.

"Rob's on the phone now with Kendra Jade."

Luke: "What I don't understand is why would anyone think Rob Spallone would know anything about something like that?"

Jim: "Because he knew some of those guys from when he grew up. They were friends of his. Not the mob guys. The stock market guys. They're all boyhood pals of his. See, it wasn't any of the f---ing Gambinos that he knew, it was the stockbrokers themselves."

Rob: "Luke, I knew all these kids when they were in the stock business who are big big money. And I got a few stocks from them and made some money and they wanted to know how these other people met them. They thought that I met them with the other people. They didn't put their homework together because I grew up with them... The main kid lived next door to me.

"Senator D'Amato, and one of the tennis girls [invested]. These guys were big stockbrokers. They were kids I grew up with and they all became worth big big money."

Jim: "But Rob decided to not enter the stockmarket as a career. He decided to enter the exciting world of porno for a career so he could make the real money."

Rob: "Strathon Oakmont was a big penny stock firm owned by a kid I grew up with. He got thrown out of the business in the early '90s. He was only in it for about four years. He made big money.

"These guys have been out of the stock business for years. The feds put them out of business years ago... It's an old problem but these kids are still worth big bucks.

"The stock market is in the f---ing dumpster. Now is a good time to buy nothing. Take all your money out there. It's going down and it's not going to stop going down. It's going to be under 10,000 next week. Watch."

Luke: "Did you have any investments in these?"

Rob: "Yeah."

Luke: "Did you make a lot of money?"

Rob: "Years ago."

Luke: "This must've come as quite a surprise to you when the feds walked in?"

Rob: "Oh very surprising."

Jim: "Very surprising. He was calling everybody for three weeks that he was probably going to have to go."

Rob: "Luke, come see us."

Luke: "Are you going to go away for a while?"

Rob: "No, I don't think so. They don't have nothing. I'm good guy. I answered their questions."

Jim: "What about the butcher's knife in your hand right now?"

Rob: "They did not mention you at all Luke.

"Luke, I ratted everybody out, that's why I'm home. I hear they wanted to give me ten years."

Luke: "I couldn't imagine that. You're a law abiding citizen."

Rob: "That's right. They were just calling me for help. Remember, who was that gangster they called to help with the war?"

Jim: "Lucky Luciano. Sam Giancana when they wanted to kill Castro."

Rob: "They wanted my help. I'm such a law abiding guy that I gave them my help. Luke, believe me, I didn't have to go if I didn't want to go. I could've made it very difficult."

Luke: "So you're just like Lucky Luciano?"

Jim: "No. Lucky Luciano wasn't a rat."

Rob: "Would you come and visit me if I got ten?"

Luke: "Yes."

Rob: "Are you going to write my autobiography?"

Luke: "Yes."

Rob: "What if the visiting day was only on Saturday?"

Luke: "I'd have to talk to my rabbi."

I found some frightening parallels to the real life Spallone stock story in some AVN coverage of Spallone over the past few months.

From the November 2000 issue of Adult Video News magazine, Gene Ross writes: "Rob Spallone, along with two other goons, waved a three-part harmony of roscoes in my face recently. Spallone threatened reprisals unless I gave him a good review. There was also talk of a bribe. A rather substantial one. So it was either the big mazuma or the big sleep. My choice. Convinced that I had received the message loud and clear, Spallone and his gunsels slunk back into the sewer from which they came.

"Of course, we're talking about a scene out of Sopornos 2, which Spallone and director Jim DiGiorgio just wrapped up. For the record, Spallone's thugs were Herschel Savage and Tony Tedeschi. DiGiorgio, was getting Sopornos 2 finished for an October release. The bribe scenario was an elaborate pick-up shot. The dialogue was improvised, and if truth be told, I was absolutely spectacular playing myself."

Tod Hunter reviews the DiGiorgio-Spallone movie "The Sopornos" here: "There's a lot to like in this pastiche of every Mafia movie cliché in the last, oh, 30 years. There's Herschel Savage, in purple-tinted glasses, very Alex-Rocco-as-Moe-Greene as the boss of the Soporno family casino/whorehouse. Rob Spallone is all East Coast vitality as the new guy who moves in to take over the family business right under Savage's nose."

Luke says: In January in Las Vegas, Rob won AVN's Best Non Sex Performance award for his work in The Sopornos.

Mob, Rob On Wall Street?

Is the questioning of my buddy Rob Spallone connected to the following story?

NEW YORK (AP) -- Federal authorities on Thursday charged 20 people with bilking investors out of $50 million in a stock fraud scheme hatched by mob-infiltrated brokerage firms in Manhattan and elsewhere.

Two defendants, Hunter Adams and Michael Reiter, were identified as associates in the Gambino organized crime family. An indictment accused them of funneling illicit profits to their mob bosses from First United Equities Corp., a now-defunct brokerage that had offices in Manhattan, Garden City, N.Y., and Woodbridge, N.J.

From the Wall Street Journal:

NEW YORK -- Two reputed mob figures and 18 others have been charged with cheating thousands of investors out of more than $50 million in a stock fraud case that federal authorities likened to a cross between "The Sopranos" and "Boiler Room."

The scheme, which involved the artificial inflation of at least five small-cap securities, was run through three corrupt brokerages in the New York City area, according to U.S. Attorney Loretta E. Lynch, who announced the indictment in Brooklyn, N.Y., Thursday. She said brokers at the firms used high-pressure or "boiler-room" sales tactics to push stocks on customers, and verbally abused customers who resisted advice to buy or hold the securities. In addition, some of the brokers threatened bodily harm to those who were short-selling the stocks and causing prices to drop, she said.

Among those charged are Hunter Adams, 33, and Michael Reiter, 31, who authorities say are associates of the Gambino organized crime family. Other defendants who allegedly played a large role in the fraud scheme include Jonathan Winston, 35, Jason Cohen, 48, Gregg Adams, 26, and Robert Mangiarano, 27.

Authorities said the scheme centered around the activities of brokers at First United, which underwrote initial public offerings of at least two of the stocks involved. Principals of the firm would maintain control over large blocks of the stocks while using a variety of misrepresentations to push the securities on customers, according to the indictment. In one instance, brokers drove the price of Ashton stock up to $15.25 a share before allowing it to plunge to less than a dollar, authorities said. Similar patterns were seen with some of the other stocks.

In the end, thousands of customers throughout the U.S. - some of them sophisticated investors - lost tens of millions of dollars because of the fraud, according to Lynch, the Brooklyn U.S. Attorney. Lynch called the case "a striking example of the rigged investment 'opportunities' that are presented to the unsuspecting investing public by 'boiler room' operations."

The scheme allegedly defrauded thousands of investors, including former tennis star Steffi Graf and former New York Jets linebacker Bryan Cox. A law-enforcement official said Ms. Graf frantically tried to liquidate her stock portfolio as its value fell. "They laughed at her and threw her faxes into the circular file," the official said. Ms. Graf and Mr. Cox couldn't be reached to comment.

New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, who announced the charges with Lynch at a Brooklyn press conference, said: "This is really a case of life imitating art - it's a combination of 'The Sopranos' and 'Boiler Room.' Unfortunately, this isn't the movies or TV."

Winston, Cohen, Hunter Adams, Reiter, Gregg Adams and Mangiarano also were charged with money laundering...

Other defendants charged in the case are: James Bila; Christian Blake; Steven Cohen; Louis Facchini, Jr.; David Hirsch; Joseph Mannino; John Gremmo III; David Margules; James Pellizzi; David Passo; Michael Pugliese; Chris Russo; Howard Weinstein and Robert Winston.

A team of federal agents culminated the three-year investigation during raids Thursday morning, arresting 17 people in New York and one each in New Jersey, Florida and California. They were arraigned on charges that included securities fraud and money laundering, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Porn Star Krista Leigh On Moral Court

CleverJester writes on RAME: In Seymore's Internet Tushy, Krista Leigh (first scene) was the only good thing in the whole tape.

Caught her on TV's Moral Court the other day, too. She was pretending to be a distraight porno-making wife of a normal guy (a "paramedic"). Problem was, I had already seen this "normal" guy on other TV shows, like Howard Stern or something. So why do these porn stars keep taking such low-paying fake TV parts? I thought they made enough dough in porn!

By the way, the Moral Court "case" ended up with the judge siding with her, and saying that the husband of her two kids was being "too demanding" for wanting sex on the very same day she had already been taping sex. (So what was the problem? The husband couldn't just wait until the NEXT day for sex with her? What a phony case!) Then Krista said she'd "think about" quitting porn. Ya, sure, Krista! We believe ya!

Luke Gets Mail

Darren@velocitybox.com writes: Luke, I have been using CCBill for about 1 1/2 years + on the 4 paysites we run. They are indeed inept, and they do suck. But I only use them as a backup processor as that is all they are worth.... We use I-Bill now. There must be a reason I-Bill has been in business for several years.....We have dealt with CCBill and Ron Caldwell has a LOT to learn......He is beyond his past as hosting kiddie porn sites and now is into credit card processing....He is very very wealthy...... Just MHO as I am a newbie doing porn for only 6 years now. (sic) CCBill sux...trust me.

Peter writes: Luke, You're the tire swing of journalism. Enjoy!

Wanker Wang writes: The positions that Rob Black holds for his mayoral campaign are damn near comprehensive. His full positions can be found on http://www.robblackformayor.com . I find my goofy, jobber-ass agreeing with him like there's no tomorrow. I'm voting for him ... maybe twice!

Teal writes: Luke: The Pink Palace brothel in inner city Melbourne Australia has just released a press release that says they have just recently finished renovating their premises to accommodate people with disabilities (ie ramp access through the back door and hand rails appropriately placed). They were talking with one of the prostitutes on TripleJ (http://triplej.abc.net.au) radio this morning and she said that most of the "mature" prosties don't mind dealing with the disabled (cerebal palsy and the like) but quite a lot of the younger and newer prosties are uncomfortable with the idea.

PS Nici should think about an international arm to her enterprise. Just a thought. How about starting in Australia, Nici?

PPS The adult sexpo (http://www.sexpo.com.au) just finished at the convention centre in Brisbane Australia with a number of porn stars attending (not sure who since I didn't go but Serenity and Shayla Leveaux regularly come to Oz) and from the ceiling two dozen blow-up dolls were hanging over the exhibits.

Ltr writes: Like it or not, Such [bestiality] material is legal and freely avaliable in France, Netherlands, Belgium over the counter. The focus on this suprises me. When will you have a feature on "CCBILL processes Fisting sites!" or other lame "illegal" acts in the US.

Rumdar writes: Luke, Greetings from Bangkok. I am having too good a time to E mail the gang. Romance is in the air. I am in love with two women. One won't go to bed with me and the other will, but disappears as soon as I pay her 1000 baht ( 43 baht to a dollar). I sometimes wonder if she cares for me at all:) She fakes her orgasms even better than Brandy Alexander. I'll try and do better keeping you informed.

Peter: how legit are the ads on adultfriendfinder.com, iwantu.com and eroticy.com?
Peter: some of the ads on those sites look great but i'm reluctant to take the bait on them, if you know what i mean. :)

Peter: there was one ad where the girl was amazing, but the text was gibberish and the writing struck me as the kind of language only a male would use. the icq address was some guy in egypt. i suspected a fraud. shame. the girl was unreal

Luke F-rd Live

James DiGiorgio and I had lots of guests today including Kevin Moore from Stunningcurves.com, and talent managers Tabetha Yang and Robert Lombard. Listen here to one of our all time great shows. Read the chat here.

pisceshunk> Did you hear the rumor that the kid who did that Santana high school shooting was a Sydnee Steele fan?

pisceshunk> Supposedly he had tons of videos of her

Wireless Flash reporter David Moyes was out first guest. He discussed this family sex website.

Here are excerpts from the site:

E.D. from Houston, Texas writes: I am very much an advocate of child sexuality, although such activities are highly illegal in the States and parents who promote and encourage such activity can look forward to long prison sentences.

In fact, I lifted a picture from your site that I can probably get 20 years in federal prison for*, for mere possession. It shows a beautiful bare breasted mother holding her young teen son's erect penis while a young teen daughter gives fellatio to her brother. This is my ideal of "family values." Keep up the holy work.

Dear Cora, I want to tell you what a joy it was to finally find a website like yours on the Net with an intelligent and compassionate view of sex, sexuality, and real wisdom to share.

I am a single father struggling to raise my daughter 'normally' amid all the sound and fury of our modern times. It isn't easy and I wish there were, indeed, community-based Mother's Circles where I could send my 12 year-old for instruction in the ways of womanhood, and certainly, initiation as you describe it on your Dream page. Unfortunately there are none, so I have had to explain menstruation to her, and why people kiss with their tongues on TV and have done my best to be honest with answering her many questions...like what videos I rented to watch in my room with the door locked. I honestly told her that I was pleasuring myself and that all boys and men do this after a certain age. She was curious and asked if she could watch.

Some readers may think I should be ashamed of myself for letting her be there while I pleasured myself but she found it both stimulating and educational. Of course I had to tell her that not all parents feel the way I do, and that talking about it with her friends would only make some jealous, or cause problems with their parents which was not polite,or fair. It does not seem to have affected her in any negative way. Cora, I would never cross the line by having sex with my child... But I would tell your readers that children are ashamed of parents who are ashamed of themselves.

Jeremy Steele - The New Rosa Parks?

Jeremy Steele leaves this message on Luke's answer machine: "I'm pissed off because I did a job for the Playboy Channel - Sexy Urban Legends. And I just got told that I can't use the name Jeremy Steele because it has been copyrighted by SAG. Which is an absurdity. I've paid my dues [to SAG]. I've been in 150 movies. And they're suddenly saying that I can't have that name on the credits. I don't know if I have to change it to Jeremy f---ing Steele or take an "e" off... It's like Rosa Parks had to move to her own part of the bus... I wondered if you had any advice."

Mark writes: "I have some advice. Drive to Burbank and stop at Sleep and Save mattress warehouse. Pick up a twin size mattress. Then drive to Glendale and stop at Homedepot. Next proceed to drive to West Hollywood. Stand on Santa Monica Blvd, lay the mattress on the curb. Assume a prone position with your exposed butt in the air. Place a bottle of lube beside you and start yelling “Curb Service!! COME AND GET IT . . . Curb Service!! COME AND GET IT !!!” This is the best advice you will ever get Jeremy."

Robert Lombard of Creative Image Management and Casting responds with HELP and ADVICE for Mr. Steele. #1. Contact my office and if I cast you in a Non Union R rated program you can use your stage name. #2. If you are a member of SAG working non union projects in taboo, but 'financial core' or 'loan out' is an option. #3. If you are a SAG member and not listed as Jeremy Steele then you can not use that name if it is taken already by another member of SAG. #4. "Sexy Urban Legends" is a Non Union project, what difference does it make to Playboy what name you use? Someone maybe giving you incorrect information. #5. Maybe someone doesn't want you to use your Adult Stage name and pointing the finger at SAG.

IN CLOSING: if the mainstream world wants to utilize the Awesome Adult Talent pool then they shouldn't be ashamed to allow the talent to use their Adult Stage Names.

QuasarmanRants.com writes: Yes, I can see how a mentally deranged part time porn actor being denied use of his stage name is on par with a woman of uncommon character asserting her rights as a human being and single handedly igniting the civil rights movement. The parellels are uncanny.

Jeremy Steele writes: Hey Luke, Please inform me of contact information for Mr Lombard [robert@creativeimagemgmt.com]. Hey Mark, whoever you are. Thanx for the advice. I made $50 bucks today. Does anyone want to buy a used mattress? And to Mike "Quasarmonkey" McCormick, You state that I'm "mentally deranged". What is this based on? My lyrics in "Challenger Disaster Launch" at www.mp3.com/jeremysteele ? Was it any part of my college interview Luke posted at the beginning of the month? Or is it based on your agenda (previously acknowledged when you admitted that you are "desperately in need of content" for your own site). You know, racism and sexism and other bigotry sucks, but being a target of someone's derision need not be within any of the regular cateogries. Obviously, I am your chosen "nigger/jew/whatever" scapegoat, so to give you a fabricated sense of purpose to your stupid life.. Objects of Derision may change race, creed, sex or colour, but they are always necessary for losers who have no inherant worth. By the way, Quasarman, have you learned how to operate a f---ing camera yet?

P.S.- Luke, Regarding my statement that I "paid my dues": I was referring to my work in the porno biz. I know, for a fact, that I've been "Jeremy Steele" since before whatever "Jeremy Steele" unemployed actor registered with SAG.. Is this other Jeremy Steele going to be confused for me? Does he look like me? Maybe he can put it on his resume, so he can get some work... I've been in over 150 Adult Movies, on Spice, Pay-Per-Screw, Playboy, etc, etc. I was informed that there was noone with my name in SAG when I joined in 1992, when I joined, nor in 1996, when I entered the Porno Biz. I never re-registered in 1996 with SAG, since they do not acknowledge porn actors. So, what I don't get, as Mr Lombard has brought up, is why is Playboy, who shoots non-union, cross-referencing my Porno name with the Screen Actor's Guild, when they don't acknowledge or employ SAG actors in their productions? I feel the real Jeremy Steele is standing up and that's me. It seems they want to save money and hire us porno stars to do these hot soft scenes, since we are more natural in these surroundings, but they don't want to respect us enough to give us credit where credit is due. Well, I guess that shows what they really think of us.

I got an email from Tera Patrick, or on her behalf to watch her show.. Do you think she emailed me personally? Is that lovely girl actually taking an interest in me? I downloaded the necessary stuff and watched but the sound disappeared, and then the picture kept freezing.. I got streaming cable at&t broadband so what the f---? Oh Well.

Quasarman writes: I'm afraid I must have missed those "challenger Disaster" song lyrics that you're talking about because your song is so poorly recorded it's difficult to tell if your whining is in english or in the language of the alpha centaurians. I did learn how to operate a camera BTW. Did you learn how to not spook every aquaintance you've ever made with your bizzare disposition and alarming sense of self importance? Are you even aware how pathetic it is for a part time cum monkey like yourself to constantly be reminding people who could care less how truly talented you are at things other than that which currently pays your bills (I'm asuming you live a pretty lean existence). If you're IQ was 235 and you were the co-writer of "Yesterday" it still would not matter because you pay for your groceries every week with money you earn from dropping loads on naive young greyhound patrons unaware that you are a registered sex offender. Plenty of us in the porn biz are good at other things Jeremy. We just don't feel compelled to advertise it each and every day on l-keford.com. SHUT THE f--- UP ALREADY YOU ULTRA-PRETENTIOUS GOON!!!!

Luke replies: Q. We would've called you back on the show yesterday but we were able to find more interesting guests, and didn't need you to fill time.

Q replies: There are times when I genuinely dislike you.

Jeremy Steele writes: Luke, Tell that loser that he still hasn't answered the question: What makes me mentally deranged.. If the bitch is gonna s--- talk like that, at least try to back it up. I'm still working in this biz and I don't dig the idea of having to answer some piece of s---'s extreme and biased opinions. Tell him he can read the lyrics on the lyrics sheet. One doesn't have to be pretentious to say he has more to offer than him. I've had many things to say which are not self-serving, self-congratulating, but which are attempts to help others or the industry, overall. He has never addressed not one specific point, but instead casts out these blanket comments of verbal assault . I can only hope that we don't mean in person, at this point.

Hey Luke, It doesn't take a nerd scientist to propose that men prefer young woman to old ones. But, what a lab nerd devoid of common sense, who needs to reveal his "scientific discovery" of common sense via bio and geological deduction, seems to not realize is that the Darwin Theory, itself, has long been under scientific fire, although, in spite of that, taken itself an air of reverance, analogous to the western religion's creationist beliefs. Darwin, himself, acknowledged in his "Origin Of The Species" that "The number of intermediate varieties, which have formerly existed on the earth, must be truly enormous. Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely gradulated organic chain: and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and gravest objectin which can be urged against my theory." I recommend the book "The Neck Of The Giraffe", by Francis Hitching.

From QuasarmanRants.com: This is the saga of Jeremy Steele, sometime porno actor, full time brooding maniac. Now let me begin by saying that though I have nothing against this man personally, pretentious pseudonymns have always angered me. Be it spandex clad rock dudes from the eighties or creepy porn actors from the nineties, the manufactured surname of "Steele" is the height of pomp and pretense.

Over the past few months the inane ramblings of Jeremy Steele have been appearing with great frequency on Luke F-rd.com, himself a full time brooding maniac but at least one who keeps his toplofty commentary to a minimum. It began innocently enough with Steele simply posting solicitations for people to listen to his songwriting skills on MP3.com (www.mps.com/jeremysteele). Then he began dispensing advice to those wayward souls whose social interaction consists of thrice daily trips to l-keford.com and the occasional anonymous conversation with a 58 year old man posing as an 18 year old girl in a chatroom somewhere. Still, I had no beef with him. I don't remember the exact moment when things got ugly but when they did it happened very quickly. I believe it was the following quote from Steele which I found on l-keford.com one day......

Dennis Prager Tackles Nudism

From NYTimes.com: COVENTRY, England — It evolved over time, Vincent Bethell's particular branch of libertarianism, but the final spur was a summer so sweltering that even the skimpiest item of clothing seemed superfluous.

"I was walking around in just shorts, and even the shorts were dripping with sweat," he said. "And then I thought: `This is ridiculous. Why should I have to wear clothes?'"

As a sudden thunderbolt of clarity, it was perhaps less earth-shaking than Archimedes's "Eureka" moment in the bath (though that involved nudity, too). But for Mr. Bethell, an unemployed artist, it was the beginning of a new career as a campaigner for the right to go naked in public.

So far, Mr. Bethell's Freedom to Be Yourself movement has involved stripped-down protests in front of places like the House of Lords, the Royal Courts of Justice, and New Scotland Yard. For Mr. Bethell, 29, it has also included sending scores of letters to politicians; sitting on a lamppost, dressed only in a knapsack with the word "freedom" written across it; being arrested numerous times; spending five months in Brixton Prison; and going through a trial in which he argued, nude, that nudity is not a crime.

Although the Freedom to be Yourself movement is hardly sweeping the nation, it has tickled the fancy of a country with a strong libertarian streak and a tendency to celebrate eccentric challenges to authority. Mr. Bethell has a Web site (www.geocities.com/thehumanmind) and he has drawn several hundred admiring e-mails.

And on Nov. 13, a number of residents in the town of Virginia Water in Surrey decided to spend the day with nothing on. "Vincent Bethell is a hero to us," a town councillor told The Daily Express.

And, with interest from France and Germany, Mr. Bethell is organizing what he hopes will be a giant nude-in on July 1, when he is inviting everyone around the world to take off his or her clothes at 2 p.m., London time.

He began to see clothes in a new way, as a barrier separating people the way plastic partitions separate customers from tellers in a bank. "It was quite a profound thing — the beauty, openness and honesty of it," he said of nudity. "The more you cover yourself up, the more you lose yourself as a human being."

"What if someone said, `I don't like his nose,' or, `I find his clothes upsetting,' or `fat people shouldn't be allowed in public' " Mr. Bethell continued.

"You shouldn't be discriminated against because you're a blonde or a brunette or a redhead, and you shouldn't be discriminated against because you are naked." His family was none too thrilled, either. "I was fairly aghast," said his father, Michael, 54, a clerical worker in a factory in Manchester, who said that young Vincent had never seemed predisposed to nudity. "There was nothing like this at home at all."

But eventually, he came around. "I can see his point of view — that it has to do with freedom and so on and so forth — and obviously I support him on that," he said.

Luke says:

On his nationally syndicated radio show, Dennis Prager said nudism is a movement challenging basic values in Western Civilization. We're witnessing an unravelling of moral society.

DP says: It's not surprising that the lead character in this is a Brit as the British tend to eccentricity.

The line about blonde vs brunette was a statement of pure emptiness. There's no comparison between discriminating against someone because of her hair color and discriminating against someone who's decided to take her clothing off in public.

Why the growing popularity of nudism? It's happening for the same reason as the equation of people and animals. In a secular world, in a world devoid of the belief that the human being is created in God's image, you get this.

We all know the consequences of too much religion. Nudism is a consequence of too much secularism.

In the secular view, the human being is another animal. Animals don't wear suits and ties and dresses, therefore, we should not either. We are another animal. It is clothing which helps distinguish us from the animal. Clothing gives us dignity.

I see a picture of this man... He's thin. One wonders if he were in fact fat or 85 years old, whether people would be as open to this?

What about children? Do we wish to have children see everybody's genitals?

We have covered them up because we, unlike animals, have a sense of shame and modesty. And this uniquely human quality is being warred against. I no longer think of nudism as just a cute eccentricity. I always did. Now I don't. I see it as an unravelling of civilization as we know it.

Michael Raven writes: Exactly what is so shameful about human genitalia? Why do you find them to be a source of shame at all? Just curious...

Luke says: As the source of life, these organs are generally regarded by most cultures as sacred. Even primitive peoples cover their genitalia. The source of shame is when these sacred organs are exposed to public view, just as many things private become shameful when made public.

Rachel writes: So, you have a little problem with nudity? It doesn't look like much of a problem!

Lynne L-patin: Nudism is a fad of the fifties. It is not growing in popularity. It is dying. It went out of style with free love and swinging.
Lynne L-patin: People wear clothes against the weather; most cover their genitals. Where it is warm, women do not cover their breasts, because breasts are for nursing, not objects of lust.
Lynne L-patin: Dennis Prager is not a good role model for you. You are smarter than that.

Raven writes: OK, perhaps I could agree that genitals are sacred, but why should that be any reason to cover them up or be ashamed? I agree with Lynn. Nudism, while intriguing, is not practical. I personally do not wear clothing to "cover my shame", but rather to protect myself from the elements.
