Taylor Wane Interview

I found an interview with British porn star Taylor Wane in the February issue of Richard Freeman's zine Batteries Not Included (BNI@aol.com).

Damo Musclecar's interview originally appeared with pictures in the zine Long Gone Loser #4, available from PO Box 18, Modbury North, S.A. 5092, Australia.

Damo: Has there ever been anything that has made you want to quit the industry?

Taylor: HIV outbreaks or people lying about the sexual preferences. I like to know who I am having sex with.

Damo: Have you ever thought of going mainstream?

Taylor: I have done mainstream. I starred in a kids show called Cyberkids. I made ten episodes which have already aired in Europe. I have been on 48 Hours, Jenny Jones, Jerry Springer, I've done music videos, been on MTV with Samuel L. Jackson, an Aaron Spelling show with Patrick Dempsey, and recently I was in a Adam Sandler movie called Little Nicky. I was a fan at a bllgame.

Damo: What would you say to all the women out there that say pornography degrades females?

Taylor: How can it degrade me when I have so many men by the balls and I am having so much fun...

Luke Meets VCA Contract Girl Julie Meadows

I spent last Sunday on the set of VCA's Succubus, directed by James DiGiorgio.

Julie: "I read your web site."

Jim warns Julie: "Be careful in what you say to him."

Julie: "Oh sure. I don't say anything weird."

Jim: "Ok. Certain names don't come out of your mouth like R-U-S-S [Hampshire, owner of VCA]."

Julie: "So how come you weren't here Friday and Saturday?"

Jim: "They're Jew days."

Luke: "Today's a goyim day, so I can come out."

Dino Bravo croons in the background.

Luke: "Julie, you and I were introduced briefly by French photographer Laurant [Eric Walters?] in the May of 1999 at the Hustler Jailbabes party. He wanted me to meet an intelligent porn chick. He said to me, 'I want you to meet Julie Meadows because I know that you think that all porno chicks are stupid.'"

Jim: "He wanted you to meet her to prove it?"

Julie: "I am the dumbest one."

Kyle: "I can barely wait to see how all this will come out on your site."

Luke: "It will come out impartially, fairly, with every fact checked with at least three independent sources."

Jim: "Julie got to play a drunk slut last night."

Luke: "Was that a reach for you?"

Julie: "No, that's normal. I just got drunk. I was myself."

Jim: "She got up on the table. Ripped a guy's shirt off. Said 'f--- me hard, put me away wet.'"

Kyle Stone talks to Herschel Savage and his fiance Wanda Curtis.

Kyle: "Where you going?"

Herschel: "We're going to a motel."

Kyle: "I was going to drive beside you on the freeway and watch."

Herschel: "But you wouldn't see her head."

Kyle: "Yeah, but I might catch her ass arched up and that would be good enough for me."

Julie: "If you work for McDonalds, you're still prostituting yourself."

Jim: "Luke thinks that's more socially acceptable."

Luke to Julie: "How does your father feel about your new career?"

Julie: "He's happy for me."

Wanda Curtis, in porn three years, hails from Hungary.

Someone remarks that she's marrying Herschel to get a Green Card [permission to live in the US].

Wanda: "Don't say that, ever, ever, ever."

Luke: "How did you meet Herschel?"

Wanda: "On a shoot. I worked with him. Funny, I had to laugh. I couldn't do my job. I saw him first and I said, 'Guys, have to go back home. No thanks. He's old.' I thought he'd have a heartattack. He survived."

Luke: "What attracts you to Herschel?"

Someone yells out, "A green card."

Wanda: "Wrong answer. I never talk to you. That is not nice. It has nothing to do with a green card. It's not funny. Hungarian people are sensitive. I can not take this. It is not a joke for me."

I don't understand why Wanda would be sensitive to the remark unless it was true. In my years in journalism, I've found that people overwhelmingly get mad when what you write is true. If it is false, they don't care much.

Herschel: "She is marrying me for the green card and I don't care. I'm not sensitive about it. I'm an old man. I deserve a little bit of happiness before I die."

Jim interviews Dynamite: "Who was Kennedy?"

Dynamite: "I don't know."

Jim: "Who was Washington?"

Dynamite: "The first president."

Jim: "Who was Lincoln?"

Dynamite: "He emancipated the slaves."

Jim: "Who was Eisenhower?"

Dynamite: "I don't know too much about Eisenhower."

Jim: "Who was Nixon?"

Dynamite: "I don't know too much about Nixon."

Jim: "Who was Roosevelt?"

Dynamite: "I don't know too much about history period."

Luke sings: "I don't much about history. Never learned much biology. I don't understand pornography."

Dynamite: "Pornography I understand. I open up my legs and go 'Oooh and Ahhh.'"

Jim tells Luke: "Julie's destroying your whole world. You don't understand how she can be so nice, so pleasant to speak with and have that smile, and then do what she does. It just confounds you to the bottom of your being, that she can have that twinkly eye and big beautiful smile and be friendly and warm... She can't do those pornographic things. She wasn't laying there yesterday on that table with a dick between her legs. It wasn't her. It was a stunt double."

Julie: "If it wasn't for the fact that I am happily married, I couldn't do adult. Because I am too sensitive to be able to handle some of the things I've actually handled."

Luke: "Did your husband get you into the industry?"

Julie: "No, it was my choice. We're swingers anyway. I was a dancer for five years.

"I've been married for ten years. I am 27. I have an eight year old son."

Luke: "Does he come to sets and bring you cold drinks during sex scenes?"

Julie: "No. I don't want him to get a reputation of being a suitcase pimp. He's a musician. He has a recording studio.

"My initial plans were to move to New York and get into dancing or acting. Get far from the small town where everyone knows who you are."

Luke: "When you were a little girl, did you want to grow up to be a porn star?"

Julie: "I didn't even know what it was. My dad had a few magazines that I found once by accident."

Luke: "Were you abused as a child?"

Julie: "I was abused mentally by my older step-sister. But I guess that's expected. She's such a bitch. My other three sisters are not so well off. They're great people. They're attached to smalltown life. I'm the weird one."

Luke: "Will you be working at the Bunny Ranch?"

Julie: "No. How about you?"

Luke: "No."

Jim: "Have you ever thought of visiting the Bunny Ranch?"

Luke: "No."

Jim: "Yeah, they'd open the door right up for Luke. They'd give Luke the keys to the place."

Julie: "Tape recorder in hand. 'So, do you like being a prostitute?'"

Jim: "Dennis Hof would welcome Luke with open arms."

Luke to Julie: "Does your son know?"

Julie: "He's eight years old. Of course not. He's concerned with Pokemon."

Luke: "Poking mom?"

Julie: "Pokemon and scooters."

Jim: "My son's the same way. Pokemon and Power Rangers."

Luke: "One day you're going to have to explain to him."

Julie: "Well, I'm his mother and he loves me better than anyone. He'll understand. As children, it's hard for us to understand many things. There were many things that I did not understand about my parents until I became an adult and gained a mental maturity. 'Hey, you're just human. Do what you do. I love you anyway.' He'll be fine. He's a great kid."

Jim: "She'll be able to raise non-judgemental children."

Julie: "He's very outgoing while I'm shy."

Jim: "You mean he hasn't been arrested 15 times and has tattoos that say, 'Porn To Kill' and stuff?"

Julie: "No. The wildest thing for him is staying up until 11PM on Saturday night."

Jim: "Luke hates this. It is not what he wants to hear."

Julie: "We're not overprotective about a lot of things because we don't want him to form mental blocks about himself and sexuality and people. We encourage him to form his own opinions about whatever. We're good people. He'll be fine."

Luke: "Are there any other contract girls at VCA?"

Julie: "It's just me and Chloe."

Luke: "What happened to Juli Ashton?"

Julie: "I don't know. I don't ask questions like that."

Luke: "Did you demand that they drop all other contract girls before you'd sign with them? Because you wanted to be the only star?"

Julie laughs. "No... And then I threw a temper tantrum and started throwing things across the room... I don't know what happened with that [Juli Ashton]. I almost asked once and I thought, 'Oh, I don't want to know.'"

Jim: "It's none of my business right."

Luke: "Maybe she got whacked."

Julie: "I have this friend in Texas. She's the reverse of me. She was really wild young. Now she's really conservative. We were best friends. Now she considers me really wild. She says, 'I can't believe you can do that.' I say, 'Why not? If I get out of the business, there will be 100 girls to take my place. Why shouldn't I enjoy myself and have a piece of whatever I can get.'

"But we don't talk anymore. I think she regrets many of her life decisions. She doesn't understand how I can be married and still have a career and want to be ambitious. She would like to have a career but she stays home because her husband doesn't want her to work."

Jim tells Lance, the Hungarian PA: "To become me, you have to start out like you."

Herschel Savage storms off the set because he thinks, correctly, that Rob's humiliating him in front of the William Morriss agents.

They then argue on the phone. I catch a few of Rob's comments.

Rob: "You f---ing cunt."

Jim: "It's like the Jackie Gleason Show."

Rob: "Suck my dick. You made everybody here wait. Suck my dick.

"How do you like that? Here, he wants to talk to you."

Rob hands the phone to Jim.

Rob: "He's not getting paid. No matter what. Herschel owes me $2100. He made a bet on the Super Bowl. f---ed on his bet. He don't get paid."

Jim: "Now I've got to impress these guys with my rewriting skills."

Luke to Rob: "Give me some more scoop on Herschel?"

Rob: "He takes it in the ass. He owes everybody in the industry money."

Luke: "Did he ever try to Jew you?"

Rob: "Always."

Rob later explains: "He says that I embarrassed him. That I dared him to leave and he didn't want to be a pussy."

Jim tells Rob to be quiet and talks Herschel back to the set.

Rob: "Luke, you can't print this for a few more days because we still need him for two more scenes. But after that, Luke, he's dead. He owes everybody money."

Jim roars at me: "Go inside."

BrandyAlx1: I was just looking at the Britt Morgan photos. I thought from the way the comments were worded that these would be new pictures, but they're all at least 8 years old
BrandyAlx1: She and Jace Rocker always held that she never had a boob job, but it's so apparent that she not only did, but it's a bad one.

Kevin Blatt said on my radio show a few weeks ago: "Reuben Sturman actually dated a friend of my mothers. His name was always heard in our [Cleveland] house even though we weren't in the porn business. Justin Sterling is also from Cleveland.

"Steve Hirsch and Howard Levine from Vivid grew up in my neighborhood."

Jim: "The sons of Cleveland have produced a lot of pornography."

April Fools - Alexa Signs With Vivid

Adam Grayson from SearchExtreme writes: I just got off the phone with Alexa, who was waiting for her bags at the Toronto airport. She was completely shocked by Mike South's post, and said she has never spoken to Vivid about working with them, let alone signing an exclusive contract. She reaffirmed the fact that she is done with hardcore, and even if she wasn't, has no particular desire to work for Vivid. She confirmed that she has gotten offers from some companies (none of which were Vivid), and she has turned them all down, insisting she has no desire to do hardcore anymore. A swing and a miss by Mr. South... just kidding Mike :)

Roger Pipe writes: Luke, don't forget that today is April 1. Mike is well known for pulling little April Fool's posts. He could just pulling our leg.

MikeSouth.com writes: Turns out Alexa is not quitting porn at all. What she is doing is quitting Wicked Pictures. Sources say Wicked's publicist was the main reason. Alexa is signing with Vivid, that will be announced sometime this week. Vivid is reportedly paying her twice the money that Wicked did and as a concession Alexa agreed to do anal in the second year of her 2 year contract.

Adam Grayson from SearchExtreme.com writes: Just read South's scoop about Alexa, and I just wanted to throw in my two cents in case its not true. I spoke with Alexa as late as midnight last night, and she didn't mention anything about this, not even that she had spoken to Vivid. I'm pretty sure she would've said something if it was true, though I can't be 100 percent sure of course. She had a flight this morning to a dance gig in Toronto, but I just left a message on her voicemail to have her call and clarify this. My first instinct is that it is BS, but hopefully I will get some sort of answer from her tonight. I'll drop you a line as soon as I do. Just didn't want everyone to assume that this was signed, sealed and delivered without Alexa's confirmation....

Fear Zeus writes: Luke, it seems that my post has created a buzz in the industry. Sounds like we are all on the same page. People knew who it was immediately. By the way...the firing of Swift was put on hold after the Alexa retirement. Temptress is still good as gone. A shame....she had such a beautiful face with enormous potential. Maybe some day she will realize how big she can become if she can just put some effort into herself.

Andrew writes: Luke what's going on with wicked? Is it true that Alexa is gone? Stephanie Swift fired? Is it because of her fetish with little boys? Jenna is gone. Missy is gone. Temptress is gone. That leaves old ass Serenity and Broke down Devinn. What is the story with all them? Luke can you get a full story to what's happened with each of the contract stars from wicked and post.

MikeSouth.com writes: Hehehehe I got Adam but not Rog....yes its an April Fools joke....The Alexa thing is....

Tomcat's Director's Porno Past

Sheckie writes on RAME: Gregory Poirier, the writer/director of "Tomcats", also wrote the script for the John Leslie/Amber Lynn film "The $50,000,000 Cherry" !

BrandyAlx1: Ebert and Roeper have each said that is degardes women and is hateful toward them. They don't make any indication of being aware of any porn past, but it's apparent that what is said about porn director shows through in even their "legitimate" Hollywood work. You can take the boy out of Kansas...

Goddess Does Luke F-rd For MikeSouth.com

Goddess writes for MikeSouth.com: When I first came across Luke's site almost two years ago, my first thought was, "what a strange man he is writing deliberately inflammatory statements about porn people for no reason," but you know how we all make snap judgements about people and later they turn out to be wrong? Well, I decided to give Luke the benefit of the doubt and continue reading his site. I am so glad I did. I realized that I was dead wrong. Luke is NOT a strange man who writes deliberately inflammatory statements about porn people for no reason.. He is a strange man who writes deliberately inflammatory statements about porn people for no reason, and speaks with a honey roasted Australian accent. Seriously, I did learn some things from Luke's site. I've learned that he has some wonderful, intelligent people who read and post to his site almost daily and I've learned that he will not hesitate to squeeze those people dry for a little bit of copy. I've also learned that there is something incredibly cool about a guy who will leave the microphone during his own radio show to go to the bathroom, but the most important thing I've learned is that the only thing funnier than interviewing yourself is interviewing Luke F-rd.

Child Porn Suspected In Tarbash Case

The FBI is apparently investigating AdultRevenueService, one of internet porn's biggest companies, for child porn.

The Scott Alan Baldwin in the story below is ARS system administrator Tarbash. The Clayton Fry in the story below is the CEO of ARS.

From the Kalamazoo Gazette:

A computer wizard accused of slaying a Kalamazoo bicycle shop owner during a 1988 burglary may have been trafficking in child pornography at the time of his arrest this month, according to court documents and authorities.

Alleged killer [and AdultRevenueService.com administrator known within the internet porn industry as Tarbash] Scott Alan Baldwin, 31, told police during a March 14 search of his home that he operated pornographic Web sites and received and filtered "kiddie porn" as part of his job, according to an affidavit.

Baldwin's statements have attracted the attention of federal authorities; Kalamazoo FBI agent Jerry Alexander sat through a district court hearing Thursday in which Baldwin's attorneys unsuccessfully attempted to quash search warrants that allowed police to remove computers, discs and other items from his home.

An affidavit for a search warrant filed by Detective Sgt. Richard Mattison, a member of a local cold-case homicide team, said Baldwin admitted being involved in child pornography as officers searched his home on March 14.

Baldwin told police that "he and his boss were extremely concerned about what was going to be found on the computer" during a search of his house after Baldwin was charged with the 1988 slaying of bicycle shop owner Earl O'Byrne.

Baldwin said he worked as a field consultant for a company he said was located at 1606 S. Burdick in Kalamazoo. Baldwin also called his boss during the March 14 home search and identified him as Clayton Fry [CEO of ARS], according to the affidavit.

A woman who answered the telephone at a business located at 1606 S. Burdick identified the business as "Innovative Ideas." She said Fry was in a meeting and not available to answer a Kalamazoo Gazette reporter's questions about Baldwin and allegations of child pornography.

Rulez writes: Looks like Marc De and Tarbash were involved in a little more than people knew. Child porn is disgusting and inexcusable. ALL WEBMASTERS SHOULD BOYCOTT ARS IMMEDIATELY! There is obviously something to the child porn accusation if the FBI is involved.

Marc De has lied to webmasters every chance he's had. He was caught shaving years ago and instead of addressing it he disappeared for almost two years and came back with ARS! He was accused of planning to sell ARS's porn sites and lied to everyone saying he wouldn't sell. Finally because of Luke F-rd he admitted that he had sold ARS's sites. MARC IS A LIAR! He cheats on his fiance with Kimmy Kim and supports murderers. Marc is helping to pay for Tarbash's defense. Tarbash murdered an old man and Marc is paying for the defense?? What a scumbag! Marc De makes Joe Elkind look like a saint.

ARS and Marc De cannot duck this one. They have now been exposed as being involved in CHILD PORN! The industry will not support this. Everyone should boycott ARS immediately. Take down their banners today. There is no excuse for child porn!

XXX writes: I heard DeForest didn't really sell his pay sites, basically he just wants to be safe is US gets ruff with porn sites and hide behind a canadian company.

Clayton Fry is the "ceo" of ARS. He is Marc's frontman. He does Marc's dirty work for him. Supposedly he has high "connections".

You might want to look into Marc's relationship with RB. Marc has been making quite a few trips out west to meet with RB.

Zebra@Dimx.com writes on Netpond: Wow Luke.. you are pretty good at digging a hole for yourself aren't you? Anyone who has e-mailed ARS for something as simple as finding out the total of a check gets a reply from someone with an Innovative Ideas e-mail address and header.. not exactly a big secret. When you find out what was REALLY in Al Capones vault then come back and we might consider you a REAL investigative reporter. BTW.. does it really matter whether or not Marc has been visiting RB? I've spent time with JoeE several times over the last few months.. does that mean there is some devious plan or underhanded activities going on? Super Sherlock Ford to the rescue!!! You and Word should really hook up together.. you guys were made for each other :)

Cheyenne Silver And Vivid Video

XXX writes: Hey Luke; I read what was said about Vivid and Cheyenne Silver's website and it doesnt surprise me one bit that good old...Steve Hirsch and his mutt crew of seemingly drug addicted and scatophillic crew over at VIVID knew all about Cheyennes website and all the garbage on it. Look at the evidence:

1. Vivid was the top banner on the Cheyennesilver.com site. run by one of VIVIDS empoyees(CHRIS HABERSKI)-that is advertizing.

2. The site had a little girls pic on it, some other pics that were questionable, and never had a warning page saying there was adult content on the site. Im sure there was no releases signed....

3. Chris Haberski aka realideas aka VIVID employee, Was the administrator of the cheyennesilver.com site and got the VIVID account to advertize and apparently pocketed the money for the advertizing from VIVID. I have the account information and customer number.

4. CHRIS HABERSKI WORKS for VIVID.

5. STEVE HIRSCH knew about the site for at least six month-along with all the dirty gossip on the bulletin board ie; STINKPOT SILVER, VIVID forcing her to get her boobs done, etc.

6. STEVE HIRSCH, Owner of VIVID, apparently supported CHRIS HABERSKI for having a 4 year old girl on a porn site of a Vivid Contract girl and made revenue from the site with his VIVID banner.

7. None of the bad hype on the site was ever taken down-you would think that VIVID would catch on and speak directly with HABERSKI about "STINKPOT SILVER" her fake boobs controversy, the kid on the web page, and all the other garbage there.

8. VIVID, according to your interview, wanted Cheyenne Silvers domain and wanted profit to run the site, A HUGE AMOUNT OF PROFIT-50%. That is out and out stealing for a webmaster to charge that much.

9. CHRIS HABERSKI bought www.cheyennexxx and autolinked the site to his own site while adminstrator of cheyennesilver.com. Conflict of interest and stealing.

10. Apparently VIVID knew all about this as Haberski works for VIVID.

11. VIVID's webmaster reviewed her site and knew all about the negative items and let them stay.

You would think that STEVE HIRSH would have fired CHRIS HABERSKI for:

1. Stealing business from VIVIDs website department.

2. Posting kiddies on a PORN site. ILLEGAL ILLEGAL ILLEGAL

3. As webmaster, leaving up horrible gossip about Cheyenne and her STINKPOT bad pussy, her fake tits, and her Famous "airhead" letter about her boobs and vivid forcing their girls to get fake tits.

Dont you think that is counter productive for VIVIDS image of glamourous girls-with or without a stinky pussy or having a gun to their heads to get fake tits??? BUT NO:

Steve and MARCIE HIRSCH both condoned the site and supported HABERSKI for it-AND PAID him money for advertizing for VIVID.

Lets face it, its OBVIOUSLY clear HABERSKI, HIRSCH, and all the other buttmunchers at VIVID knew about the site and let it ruin Cheyenne Silvers image. I think Cheyenne Silver should find herself an attorney and sue the s--- out of VIVID and Haberski for double dealing and f---ing her over. ANY ATTORNEY SHOULD GET A HOLD OF CHEYENNE AND SOLICIT HER FOR A LAWSUIT.

HABERSKI was the obvious puppet and the HIRSH TWINS at VIVID set Cheyenne up. It sounds like she didnt get a penny from the site and the flatulistic(is that a word?)scum at VIVID are laughing all the way to the bank. HOWEVER-why in the world would STEVE HIRSCH, OWNER OF VIVID, let all this s--- go down when he has Cheyenne Silver as a contract girl??

Did he think that all the bad publicity would push her over to his website morons and thus make more money for the company??? Even talent talks about CHEYENNES STINKPOT reputation. Maybe Cheyenne has a stinky pussy and sucks in film so he figures he can make more money by having her site???

Luke; Something is definately rotten in Van Nuys at VIVID. Why doesnt HIRSCH, the Pussy, speak up! or does he only talk through his TROLL sister MARCIE, whom I've heard, is the biggest bitch this side of Planet Loser.

LUKE; I would ask that all your readers call or write to VIVID in Van Nuys and ask them the very questions I have brought up in this letter. I would hope everyone would open their eyes to this MOB O MORONS at VIVID and demand some answers. Who knows how many other women HIRSCH is ripping off to pay for his body waxings and herbal colonic enemas.

Let it be said by this person; VIVID NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED-for the filthy dealings they do and the harm they cause their victims-mainly the hard working girls and guys who MAKE VIVID.

THE word is out-let VIVID reply if they have the ball, except for Marcie, who reportedly has the biggest set of balls out there. Luke-Call VIVID to the mat on this one and don't let them up til they cough up the truth once and for all.

Satyric writes: It's hard to comprehend that people at Vivid would condone having pics of kids in any context on a adult site.What a bunch of idiots if they in fact do so.I've seen this type of thing on a couple of sites before like Asia Carrera's for one, if it's lets say a high school yearbook pic or something similar I can deal with that, but I don't want to see Asia at 8 or 10 years old or however old the pic on her site was. Come on people use a little freakin common sense for christsakkes! What the hell is a matter with you? That s--- isn't needed on a porn site.

Stacy Valentine In Toronto

Telmo writes: Hello Luke, My cousin and I spoke with Stacy Valentine in Toronto. She was touring around AOV videos plugging her last video and signing autographs. She was extremely friendly and cordial..until I mentioned your name. She said your brand of reporting "was like the national enquirer". You must have really pissed her off. Nice girl regardless.

Jason Stoner writes: Luke, I saw Stacey Valentine this evening (2001/03/30) at an in-store. The site was an "AOV" (Adults Only Video) on East Hastings Street in Vancouver, Canada. Attached is a picture I took of her.

She says she is living in New York (Manhattan) now with her boyfriend and is taking psychology courses at college (I didn't ask which one). I asked her if she had tried any mainstream work. She said she did a little but was not impressed. She says she just wants to be out of the camera's eye, any camera, mainstream or porno.

AOV is a national chain in Canada and frequently hosts in-stores. Stacey is on a Canadian farewell tour. AOV is promoting her video Red Vibe Diaries #3 of which they are the exclusive retailers in Canada. I've also seen Missy, Misty Rain, Dyanna Lauren and Shane at AOV in-stores.

Stacey was very friendly. There were about 25 or so people in a fairly small store. A handful of couples. Pretty relaxed atmosphere, Stacey was into chatting, autographed polaroids were only 5 loonies each, came with an autographed movie slick and she let me take the digital photo gratis. That was great, she stood up and went right into pose mode. A true professional.

As for those on your site who were wondering about an Adult Expo in Vancouver, see also attached to this email a photo of an ad from this week's Georgia Straight news/entertainment weekly. April 14 in Vancouver, an Adult Talent Expo. I note that one of the sponsors is AVN Online. Extending the tenticles (testicles??) north, eh?

Here's the website: http://www.adultexpo2001.com/

Tickets to this event are CND$ 40.00 each.

You seem to have a number of fans, virtual lovers, contacts and informants in Vancouver. Why is that? And what is Vancouver's reputation in your parts? They shoot a lot of mainstream s--- up here and, apparently, porno as well. That same Georgia Straight paper regularly features about 10 ads for "adult employment" half of which are for adult video or photo shoots. And Sweet is a very big deal here. Their studios are just on the edge of my neighbourhood in a semi-industrial zone in the middle of one of the many "strolls" in town. But compared to LA....we are a very small city, JUST over 2 million.

Did Playboy Buy Sex Survivor 2000 Tapes?

The Liberty Network reports: Did Playboy, purchase The Sex Survivor2000 tapes from Surrender Cinema ...for a COOL $125.000?

It was told to this reporter that Playboy, paid Pat Siscilliano at Surrender Cinema, $125.000 for the behind the scenes footage of SexSurvivor 2000. Comments were made on the set of Sin City's, upcoming release starring Nakita Kash and Evan Stone.

Toni English, who directed the The Sex Survivor 2000 fiasco said "that she knew for a fact that Pat Siscilliano at Surrender Cinema, was paid $125.000 by Playboy, for the purchase of the behind the scenes footage of Sex Survivor 2000." She said that she had word "Michael was in Vegas at a past broadcasting convention, walking around making deals and contacts ". She also said "to possibly generate more money and interest so the talent would get paid.

Her suggestion to Pat Siscilliano, was to assemble all of the talent involved, pay them their rates and shoot more footage so they could inter cut this with the behind the scenes footage. This would make the production a better value and ease the tension and the feelings of some of the talent involved."

It was suggested to her by this reporter, that this could be wrong information. If this was a fact then my offices would off been contacted by CED. Her reply was "Sure! and you trust Marc Bruder"...

THIS WILL BE SOMETHING THAT THE LIBERTY NETWORK WILL BE LOOKING INTO...

So hear you go, Toni English, a women, a fabulous director and someone with a heart, who truly feels for the the talent in our industry.

On the other hand Pat Siscilliano and Michael Garfiled/Caruso, co-horts, partners in crime, human users, deceiving structures of individuals who would stab you in the back just as soon as you turn around. In my books human trash only by association.

The Liberty Network, contacted Pat Siscilliano's, office and asked if they would care to comment on this. They declined. Pat Siscilliano and Surrender Cinema, says that they are devoted to the simple premise that beautiful people having the time of their lives in exotic locations is the type of fare that audiences have come to enjoy and crave, over the years.

Viewers of Surrender Cinema films are treated to a philosophy that's free of judgment or moral agendas. The primary goal is fun and it's an objective Surrender Cinema is known for achieving time and again. I can't believe that Surrender Cinema, could say this and be involved in the making, sales and distribution of Sex Survivor 2000.

We believe if Pat Siscilliano and Surrender Cinema had to achieve their objective by associating with common trash like Michael Garfield/Caruso. By entering into an arena of mental and physical abuse to talent just to get the production done. To knowingly allow East West Productions, to create and fool the Internet going public with Sex Survivor 2000. Then he is no better then Michael Garfield/Caruso. He should take full responsibility for what occurred and stop running like a coward that he is. He should anti up and pay the talent for services they rendered.

Yes, Surrender Cinema, has and will probably still produce and distribute great shows like Andromina, Passions Obsession, Virgins Of Sherwood Forrest and Zorrita Passions Avenger etc. But at what cost to others in The Adult Entertainment Industry!

The Liberty Network, contacted the office of Jim English, President of Playboy Entertainment Group, Inc, and they would not comment on this. However, they did say that they would comment in an email at a later date. We welcome either Pat Siscilliano, Michael Garfield/Caruso or Marc Bruder to respond to this editorial by email and we will publish the rebuttal.

The Herschel Savage Variety Show

The Liberty Network, announce today that they plan to produce several pilots for cable this fall. They will shoot all the pilots in there studios locally in Lancaster CA. If they are picked up the shooting will continue throughout the year in the studios.

One being The Herschel Savage Variety Show, a unique variety show with guest and luminaries from adult and mainstream dropping buy unannounced to give Hersh a lending hand. Which of what he's not sure off or he really needs! " In true Herschel style, there is no one else in our industry who could pull this one off" said Executive producer Steve Banan.

He went on to say that he will produce a pilot for his most popular game Intimate Details. "We will produce Intimate Details the game show. I asked Evan Stone this afternoon, if he would be interested in hosting the show and he most graciously excepted. I personally think besides Evan, being just about the nicest and kindest young guys out there. He is a true talent and a great human being."

Steve Banan also said that, "Intimate Details is the most exciting adult participation sex game ever. My game has been the number one selling adult sex game in the world for six year straight!.. Intimate Details TheGame, is a sex monopoly where multiple couple's will be able to learn about one another, get down and have lots of fun." He said, "I think this and an Evan Stone combination can't give me anything less than a hit."

He said, "I will re-create and bring back my character MELVIN the dirty old man...Who along with Waylan Flowers and Madam, was the toast of the underground clubs in the late 70's. This horny old disgusting and filthy man was the rage in San Francisco and New York and I loved doing him. I just hope that he will be as funny, dirty and disgusting now in the 2000's.

"I am acquiring new material as we speak. So if anyone out there has some material for Melvin, please feel free to send it to the Network. I am older now and the material doesn't come as quickly. We do not have any concrete deals on the pilots and that's Ok...I don't like to and rarely do pre-sell anyway. Several of the cable channels have express deep interest in our up-coming projects. I am so confident that these shows will be the hits of 2002... www.intimatedetails.com

Fifth Estate Porn Expose

Luke says: I've talked about these problems before. See my profiles on Rocco Siffredi, Jon Dough, Max Hardcore and Rough Sex for more details. I stand by the truth of what I said. Porn sex is frequently a full contact sport and people get hurt. Yes, even broken jaws and internal injuries. More important, many people's souls get severely bruised, resulting in self destructive behavior that includes suicide. Porn has left a long line of body bags. And let's not forget about AIDS. Over 150 performers in homosexual porn have died from AIDS.

Lattara writes on RAME: So it's kind of like action film making, except that numerous people have died shooting action films (mainly stuntmen but also several name actors... Vic Morrow and Brandon Lee come to mind) whereas I'm unaware of anyone dying on a porn set as a result of the sex they were having.

Luke replies: How about the dozens of people in porn who've died of AIDS?

Mike Paul writes on RAME: Don't bother pointing out to Luke how "good" industries and "good" people have the same things happen to them that happen in porn. He pays his penance by badmouthing it. The longest phone conversation I had with him included him telling me he was ashamed he enjoyed porn, and ever since then I've seen where if you give him a chance to point out bad things, he'll jump on it... I doubt any "expose" would care to interview people who've got positive things to say...

Lattara writes on RAME: I don't know how suicide stats break down by profession in the US but over here in the UK farmers are supposedly the group who are most likely to commit suicide. Is this because farming bruises their souls? Might we therefore draw the conclusion that farming is populated by the scum of the earth?

> And let's not >forget >about AIDS. Over 150 performers in homosexual porn have died from AIDS.

As have thousands of other homosexuals (and thousands of heterosexuals for that matter). Most people who have died of AIDS did not perform in porn. It is also reasonable to assume that many of these porn performers would have been sexually promiscuous (at a time when AIDS was little more than a rumour and safe sex was unheard of) even if they had not appeared in porn films and therefore in high risk categories in any case. More to the point the implication of your sentence is that all these porn performers contracted AIDS from appearing in porn - this is an impossible assumption - they may just have easily contracted the disease in their private lives.

AJB writes on RAME: Bell has now pulled the 2 porn channels in question. >

Cowards. What really got me was how on and on they keep implying that the bondage tapes were mixing sex and violence. I could see at a glance that they was no penetration sex, no oral sex, not even really sexual fondling going on... these were just straight forward bondage and domination videos. But the mainstream audience assumes that if there is some partial nudity that means actual sex AND they will probably assume that the "cries of agony" in the B&D scenes are uncontrolled, real torture. The journalists didn't take even one second to point out how these videos are almost entirely devoid of any real sex as (I think) much of society would define it. The journalists had a big moral axe to grind against the flesh trade and they went hog wild with the generalizations.

He didn't sound idiotic (he was well spoken in fact) but they obviously edited to catch his more dramatic statements. The Canadian produced Fifth Estate billed him as a journalist and made him sound like an enemy of the porn biz... and yet he obviously is enough of a friend to the biz that lots of industry people talk to him year after year. He certainly has one of the most curious love / hate relationships with the porno industry as a conduit for mainstream journalism's lurid curiousity & sensationalism seeking instincts.

On a less serious note: what the hell is that huge square hunk of protruding flesh between Luke F-rd's eyebrows? This is the first time I've gotten a close look at him on TV and now I'm wondering if he's an android with a microchip planted in his forehead. I could barely concentrate on anything he was saying cuz I was so distracted by that raised rectangular mound of skin in the middle of his noggin. I don't mean to get into appearance assasination -- gawd knows I'm ugly enough -- but sheesh! I wanted to listen to Ford talk about bleeding anus chicks but I couldn't get past that pre-cancerous table of flesh betwixt his world weary eyes.

Really, the interview with Rob Black was priceless because of the look of barely restrained horror on the face of that old biddy interviewer Hanna Gartner. Whenever the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation needs to present us with the face of white, prudish upper-middle class Canadians, they trot out the grandmother of all journalists, Hanna the Banana. There was Rob Black getting a hard-on just talking about the joys of degradation, bits of food stuck in his unkempt beard, his bulging eyeballs staring at his own personal hell: a white-bred, Christian, post menopausal lady he has absolutely no chance of selling porn to, not in a million eons. It was like seeing Adoph Hitler being interviewed by Mother Theresa -- a moment to remember.

> The whole show was just an excuse to show some "shocking" stuff on TV > with no real focus.

Yeah man! They were going out of their way NOT to pixellate out women's asses, tits; you could see hot young'uns bouncing up and down on dicks just barely out of view. I can only hope it lowered more people's perversion theshold. And that was my lovely fav Barret Moore getting photographed in Rob Black's studio. Hey, who was the blonde ditzy chick beside her? not sure I know her.

Bob Jones Meets His Maker

Farrell Timlake writes: Looks like Bob Jones is in for a pummeling in our next debate in the chat after the Luke F-rd show on Tuesday. I have already found a number of holes in his arguments, and will be completely demolishing his offense. He is sure to be reeling back from the onslaught of my logical and well-researched attack. I have found numerous weaknesses in the statements he made last time, and I can safely say that I will not be crying "uncle" and giving in to the bullying of his last response. His weak assertions have been blocked and his false, misleading references are only hitting his own hot air. Like an Aikido black belt, I will be taking the force of his rebuttal and turning it against him until he is flipped and feels the hard and well researched impact of my argument. I can only hope that he will remain a gentlemen and keep the debate on a mature and dignified level, but judging from the way he responded last week, I am expecting a very dirty fight. I encourage everyone to check out the next Luke F-rd show if they want to see blood and guts. I will be defending my position unprotected by any alias to mask and armor my real identity. I will be fighting as myself armed only with the naked truth. I will be facing off against Bob and any other person who joins in the attack against my position. At www.homegrownvideo.com, we are not afraid to make great amateur xxx and we stand up for what we believe in despite facing overwhelming opposition.

Luke Gets Mail

Goddess writes: It is with a heavy heart (and a somewhat drunk ass) that I email you guys tonight. i'm sure you've all heard by now that Mike South is planning to get married in a few weeks. I am officially hanging up my stalking shoes and my stalking pants and crawling into bed with my good friend, Jack Daniels...

Joe writes: this is getting stupid,these so called porn starlets want more money just like ball players i dont think noone gets money that easy. i work hard at my job.my i see reports of a girl making $20gs a month . i give up on the industry i have enough stuff to carry me through .if they want BIGmoney they lost a BIG FAN

Paul writes: I'm trying to find some info on the gay porn star *Damien*. I read a rumor that he had died in a helicopter crash in Hawii, any truth to this?

Meni writes: Lukey, you f---er, stop misspelling porn chicks names. You misspelled Jade Marcela, with Jade Marcella so I get jade-marcella.com then you f--- up Nikita Dinise, as Nakita Denise. so i got nakitadenise.com I still love you, ya freak.

Fred writes: L-- I no longer believe this BS about how difficult it is for a porn girl to return to civilian life. Anyone can do it. In fact, check out the attached.

A few questions: a) Has Britt Morgan aged well over the years? b) I assume her ex-husband knew about her porn past, eh? c) Is she trying to melt back into civilian life, or capitalize off of her porn past? d) What is Mr. Pacheco doing nowadays? What does he do for a living? e) Does his past haunt him? In other words, does he get recognized?

A. You can decide for yourself. Check out BrittMorgan.com. She looks ok.

B. I am sure he did.

C. She's trying to capitalize off her porn past.

D. Richard Pacheco's a house husband in San Francisco Bay Area. He doesn't have a job.

E. His past haunts him. He gets recognized.

Chaim Amalek writes: Luke, before taking this too much further, please define certain of the terms you use. Especially:

1. intellectual honesty
2. biblical criticism
3. jewish orthodoxy
4. the oral law (what it consists of, when given orally, when committed to paper)
5. the written law (ditto).

Once I have each of your definitions in hand, I will be in a better position to comment on this discourse.

Why are you so strongly repelled by the thought of men inserting their penises into orifices intended for the evacuation of waste products?

Do people get to sleep around in any shuls, orthodox or otherwise? Perhaps if there were more free sex to be had by going to prayers, there would be higher attendence.

Luke answers:

1. Intellectual honesty means openness to truth from any source, even when it goes against one's own cherished beliefs.

2. Biblical Criticism - refers to the literary and historical techniques that a scholar uses on any literature. Namely, answers to these three main questions: Who wrote this? When was it written? For whom was it written?

3. Orthodox Judaism - Regards the sacred texts of the Judaic tradition as authoritative. Subscribes to the three linchpin foundations of Judaism - belief in God, that He gave the Torah and that He rewards and punishes. Orthodox Judaism also stands for full observance of Jewish Law as decided and interpreted by the leading sages of the generation.

4. The Oral Law is the Mishna, which was committed to paper in the year 200 CE, but it's origins trace back to God at Mount Sinai 3200 years ago.

5. The Written Law refers to the Torah, the five books of Moses, what Christians call the Pentateuch. Traditionally believed to have been given by God to Moses at Mount Sinai.

Why Luke Is A Jew

Chaim Amalek writes: If it was torah and that subset of intellectual honesty that may contain biblical criticism, then it must be noted that the latter is anathema to the rabbis who invented rabbinical judaism. Read as a book, the torah is simply not a wholly logical, internally-consistent document, as many others have demonstrated many times over the centuries.

Most of the Gedolim know this, and that's why the leading rabbinical academies of every age prefer that their pupils focus on the so-called "oral" law (which in fact has been written for almost as long as the so-called "written" law) instead of the Books of Moses. The Talmud, as obscurant as it can be, is much more logical than the latter.

If you want a religion that combines intellectual rigor in the manner in which it view its root documents with deep ritual, you have come to the wrong place in life. On the other hand, if you are looking for a faith that will put you into social contact with people who are far above you socially and in position to boost you up, then you have come to the right faith.

PS What REALLY happened between you and Dennis Praeger? (My spelling is correct - his is not.) I suspect that you are not forthcoming with the entire truth here. Would it SHOCK YOU (hats off to Peter Luther Christian's friend "dEVOTO") to learn that Praeger is a regular listener to your show. Would it DOUBLY shock you to learn that EYE am Dennis PRAEGER?

Luke says: Dennis Prager and I were friends until I decided in late 1997 to start writing on him. That ended our friendship.

Chaim writes: As I type this I am half watching a history of jews in the United States on the History channel "They Came for Good." Quite interesting, you would enjoy it.

This bears repeating: "You Luke, seem willing to live in poverty, but only for porn - not for yiddishkeite. Why is that?" I understand the motivation of the successful Jews of Porn who make a lot of money at it. It is never a mystery to me why a man will sell out his "beliefs" in exchange for a large sum of money. But you sell yours out for a pittance. Unless you are hiding it all, you have very little to show for your years in porn. And you are not even getting laid through it! If it is intellectual honesty that you seek, how can you remain religious?

2. Why aren't you in chabad?

3. A year ago you were in the Zionist Motherland, swearing that you would make a clean break with porn and move to a yeshiva in Israel to get closer to God. Instead, you are doing exactly the same things. And do you know why? Because you failed the emmes-saree of Amalek, you failed him TWICE.
