Dreaded Australian Porn Mafia Threatens To Take Luke To Court

From Glenn.Vassallo@deacons.com.au

Dear Mr Ford

We act for Mr Guy McKenzie and Mr Yohan Lewis, who have instructed us to respond to the email that you forwarded to them on 15 June 2001.

Our clients appreciate the fact that you have seen fit to seek their views on the contents of the article before publishing it to a wider audience. Our clients are unable to comment at any length on the contents of the article as they signed an agreement with [Greg] Lasrado, following the resolution of their dispute with him, which prevents them from revealing the terms of the settlement to anyone. Lasrado is similarly bound not to reveal the contents of the settlement.

Notwithstanding the above, the statements apparently made by Lasrado as reported in your email are untrue and highly defamatory of our clients. In the circumstances, if you publish the article, with the defamatory statements included, to a wider audience, you too will be guilty of defamation and our clients will be entitled to damages from you directly. Further, our clients will, if necessary, seek the assistance of the court to prevent the publication of the article in order to protect their good names and reputations.

In the circumstances, and to avoid unnecessary litigation, please immediately provide us with your written assurance that you will not publish the recent dialogue between yourself and Lasrado, at the very least, to the extent that it relates to Lasrado's dispute with our clients and his comments on the nature of our clients' business and business associates.

In the event that we do not receive your assurances as requested above within the next 24 hours we will assume that they are not forthcoming and that it is your intention to publish the article to a wider audience. In those circumstances, we will, on our clients' instructions, which are already to hand, make application to the court for an injunction preventing the publication of the article. Our clients will also seek the costs of those proceedings.

Yours faithfully

No worries, mate.

Your mate,

P.S. They don't make the litigators wear the silly outfits here either, mate.

Father's Day Vagina Sale at the Bunny Ranch

Kinky Slut writes on NVBrothels.com: Attention Daddies ... Big Daddies, Sugar Daddies, Wanna-Be-Daddies, Big Daddy Long Leg, come be MY Daddy this weekend. June 15-18. Get More Bang for your Buck! Mention this ad (code phrase: whose your daddy?) and get one FREE!!!! activity -- ANYTHING!!!! GOES. Save thousands! $$,$$$ Good through June 18th.

Webmaster replies: The Father's Day special sounds like a great deal. I always wonder about the limitations on these types of sales. It sounds a little to good to be true that someone could purchase an inexpensive party and receive any sex act for free. I would be interested in hearing from people who took advantage of this deal.A set of photos were recently added to the site that have AF Amy in a tropical background. Did any of these pictures appear in Hustler Magazine? I am concerned because there may be copyright issues. Follow this link to the Air Force Amy pictures.

Cassandra Lear Available for Las Vegas Outcall & Travel

Mark@EroticaEscorts.com writes on BigDoggie.net: I wanted to let you know that Cassandra Lear is now available for outcall in Las Vegas and travel throughout the U.S. Cassandra has dozens of film credits and is now available for your personal PSE.

Lost Soul writes on BigDoggie.net: Well, where can I start? I recently saw Cassandra "Cassie" Lear on Thursday and I had one of the most enjoyable and fantastic nights of my life. She is one of "THE" top women that I have ever been with. I've been in the hobby for a few years now and have seen more than 30+ women in Vegas, Dallas, and LA. She ranks at the top of my list (tied with another lady-LJ).

It is fast approaching my birthday and I wanted to give myself a special treat. I've always wanted to meet up with an adult performer. I saw the post above placed by Mark and called. Mark is a kind and accommodating person. He kept calling back and forth to make sure everything was setup properly and then left it at that. He did not try to hustle me or anything else. He just wanted to make sure that I had a great time. Thanks Mark.

Cassie and I talked before she came over and it was so nice talking to her. She has a great voice and a cute laugh. She is 20 years old, uninhibited, and outgoing. We joked a bit and I confused her with my directions (sorry about that Cassie) but we met up only about 15 minutes off our time frame. When she came to the door I opened it and I think I broke my jaw because I was grinning so large. She came over dressed casually (I asked her to just come over to relax and be casual) but was still was dressed very nice. She came right in and gave me a nice big hug. We talked and relaxed on the couch while watching Dennis Miller and we both laughed at his daily rant. She was very personable and we clicked right away. She has a wonderful smile and penetrating eyes. It was wonderful staring into her eyes as we talked and kissed.

We got comfortable and began an incredible session that was both erotic and passionate. I felt like we were vines entangled into an embrace that would last forever. OK, I'm waxing poetic about our time together but it is so hard not to. She brings out the bard in me. She electrified me and mesmerized me to the point of feeling light headed and drunk without imbibing at all. Our eyes locked all through our time together and I felt this connection between us that heightened our experience to a whole new level. There was a warm glow of ecstasy throughout our entire time together. We caressed each other, hugged, and even laughed when I tried to grab one of her long blonde hairs off my tongue. There is nothing like a good laugh in the middle of the throes of passion to make you appreciate your partner all the more.

There is so much more that I want to tell but that information is between Cassie and myself. If you get an opportunity to see this lovely lady I suggest you do so. My dreams are filled with her image and I'm looking forward to the next time I can see that lovely face, cute smile, and passionate embrace.

Shane's World 27

Mark Arnold writes on RAME: Shane's World 27 should be required viewing for all pornmeisters. This tape was *wonderful*. The plot, perhaps a sendup of the Anabolic Initiations series, has a group of girls who gather a group of blindfolded, proportional, age-appropriate guys, makethem strip, and decide who they want to f---. They then do so with great gusto.What sets this tape apart from 99.9% of all other porn is that it's clear the girls are *enjoying themselves*. The viewer has a clear sense they would choose to have sex with the same guys in real life. This makes it actually *erotic* to watch. Compare to some pasty ass wheezing and pumping away with some poor thing who you can almost hear thinking to herself, "I get paid right after this, right?" Shane, if you ever want to come to Fresno . . . .

MikeSouth.com writes: It should be noted that Shane didnt get it right at all...she is no longer involved in this series and hasn't been for quite sometime.

Mark replies: You want to tell us more? I know Shane isn't performing on camera any more, but I thought she was producing the SW series. If not her, who? In any event, the free-form concept is hers, and it continues to work better than anything I've seen. BTW, I saw her feature at a club last night - Shane's in great shape, too bad she quit performiong.

MikeSouth.com writes: Hector Barron is a film major from a little town in Texas. Shane hired him to shoot Shane's World. He was her cameraman and editor. When Shane married the drummer from Orgy, he didn't want her to be in porn anymore so Shane sold Shanes World to Hector.Now he's running Shane's World. I guess the drummer from Orgy is now running out of money because the band sucked and now he must be OK with Shane getting back in and going back on the road dancing. Because Shane wants SW back, word is Shane's taking him to court over it. She hasn't been with the series since Shane's World 18. Thats it in a nutshell.

Oh ya and the free form concept credited to Seymore, me, Shane, John Stagliano, Ed Powers and others....well truth is Ugly George Pioneered it YEARS before any of us did it. And thats the truth.

Spacemanj writes on RAME: Don't forget that Shane supposedly sold the SW name to Hector with the stipulation that it only go to vol. 18 or 19 before they called it something else.

Voyager7 writes on RAME: Could you elucidate a bit more on her stage performing? Details of her kosher chicken, etc.

Mark Arnold replies: Your post caused the Vicar of Valise to pay a visit to the Shriveled Raisin Retirement Home, where they have a certain rabbi in the restraint ward. After his morning Prosac and coffee, he confirmed that Shane does not *have* a kosher chicken (unless she's been out here visiting Foster Farms or something) but instead *is* a kosher chicken of the first order. Her stage performance isn't much out of the ordinary for what goes on in a strip club - but that's OK. No phony candle wax act, etc. She does roll up posters and simulate mutual oral sex with the fans, though. The Freudian significance of this has not been fully analyzed. It was just good to see her back in circulation - hope she dumps the controlling drummer boy and makes some more movies.

Luke Gets Mail

JRob writes: I have the same view towards basketball as I do towards homosexuality. If people are happy playing basketball and are not harming anyone, I have no problem with them. I just don't want to watch it or do it myself.

Luna (citrus@mailpuppy.com) writes: Hey Luke!! ;-) I thought you might know this. I'm an erotic dancer/nudemodel from Scandinavia looking for a good place to work in L.A. Im coming over in August, but since i dont know the good agencies, i wonder if you or someone else maybe, would help me. I would like to do strip-o grams, not clubdancing. I have been over to Hollywood several times, working in clubs, but i get bored with the smalltalk thing that goes along with the private/lapdances. All though it is a very interesting concept we do not have too much of, around here. It is just time for me to try something else. So any advice or suggestions would be helpful. Thank you!!

Dianna writes: I have had this vision lately... Luke gets a flat tire in Beverly Hills, and as he sits by the side of the road, van jacked up, a beautiful woman he knows from shul drives by in her BMW. He smiles and waves; she smiles and waves back AND KEEPS DRIVING!

Dianna says regarding the "Browning of America:" I welcome the addition of more African-American genes to the pool if it will increase dick size...

Self Restraint - Is That Like Bondage?

Luke writes: I entered porn in the fall of 1995 because I thought it would be the most likely place to find people who practiced the type of values I aspired to - self discipline, self denial, restraint, dignity, ambition, charity and commitment to family.

Brandy Chirps: "If it weren't for the Judaism I could have sworn you were looking for me. It is sad to see these qualities absent in porn. It's as if they embrace society's assessment of them like being obscene is a good thing (but getting pissed off when they are asked to pay for obscenity they create) and give up all goals efforts towards being quality individuals. It's a "why bother, I'm already a loser because I'm in porn" attitude."

Someone writes: Porn, by definition, is a celebration of hedonism. Hedonism, by definition, is a celebration of abandonment. Luke, you are making a "funny" there, aren't you? Because we know you entered porn for the same reason all men enter porn: you dug the chicks and you thought you could make money at it. There's nothing dignified about a hard dick, now, is there? Someone else writes: What about humility? Didn't you think humility would be a common value of porners, and a value you desperately needed to learn from them?

Yet another person writes: What about bukkake? Is nothing more dignified, more restrained, more charitable than seventy men depositing the gift of their precious bodily fluids upon the face of a stranger?

A fourth person writes: Brandy Alexandre is a model of restraint, dignity and ambition? The same Brandy who can't let go of her brief moment in the spotlight over ten years ago? Whose favorite aerobic exercise is jumping to conclusions? A source of constant entertainment, yes. A role model? Not hardly!

Luke F-rd - Hero To The National Alliance

Bernard Klatt writes: Hi Luke, .. great website (as usual). Thanks for running the Doc Pierce commentary even tho you'll probably get flak for it. But you didn't include the pic that goes with it...... I'm surprised your friends at the shul haven't tried to censor you (especially on this topic).

MrHollywoodJew writes: There goes that damned Pierce again. And he's quoting Rabbi Scheerson -- one meshugener quoting another. Touching, ain't it?

Chaim Amalek writes Luke: Here's a new idea for your next book. "An Honest Jew Reads 'Mein Kampf', by Luke F-rd."

More and more, it is clear that your path to Torah entails rejection of the Hollywood Jews of the world.

PS I hope you wished your REAL daddy, your CHRISTIAN daddy a warm and loving Father's Day. It is he, and not any rich important Hollywood Jew, who gave you life.

Does Squirrel Fornication for Money Violate the Teachings of the Torah?

Heather Barron writes: Now I've seen everything. Thanks to the guy that tipped me on this one: www.squirrelsex.com. I know there is downsizing in the porn industry but this one is a keeper. What's next? Nici's Squirrels?

Susan Faludi's Stiffed

Here's a review of Susan Faludi's book Stiffed on FirstThings.com:

But the contrast between Miss Faludi’s mocking and uncomprehending treatment of the Promise Keepers’ search for meaning and her sympathetic depiction of a male porn actor’s struggle to stay afloat financially indicates both her unacknowledged political allegiances and her moral numbness. Porn actors are portrayed rather like unemployed corporate workers, their choice of career unquestioned, their difficulties blamed on the system in which they work rather than on any internal emptiness.

It seems that what males are hired for in pornographic films is to ejaculate on camera for what is called the "money shot," which is the crucial event of the film. The ability to perform this task on demand with a machine–like indifference to external circumstances or internal feelings is not widely distributed even among the willing male population. Thus males, whose performance is unpredictable and who are in any case secondary attractions for the heterosexual audience of the films, earn far less money than female porn stars, whose appeal is largely visual and whose standard of performance can be counted on. Miss Faludi elaborates on the plight of the male porn star in a long section focused mostly on his limited earning capacity and the disrespect with which he is treated, rather as if she were decrying workplace discrimination against blacks and women.

Homosexual activists like the playwright Larry Kramer and the writer Gabriel Rotello, author of Sexual Ecology—an important weaving together of ecology theory, epidemiology, and sexual politics—have been ferociously attacked by their fellow gay activists for publicly acknowledging that AIDS results as much from human behaviors as from specific microbes.

Faludi’s support for gay liberation, denying so much of its reality, is grounded, it appears, in her enthusiasm for destabilizing sex roles. Such a program has as its ultimate consequence a lessening of interest in human reproduction and thus a rending of the intergenerational bond that is the essence of civilized society. In our culture of narcissism, feminists have joined with gay activists in rebelling against this bond, and their rebellion is the key to the betrayal of the American man.

Ava Vincent's Ass Fondled Inappropriately By Pornography Director

XXX writes: I phoned you last night aboout an incident that happened on a Michael Simmons set with Ava Vincent......He inappropriately felt up her ass while she was running lines between scenes - and allowed one of the male performers to continue to harass her on the set - and when she specifically asked that he (Michael S.) put a stop to it because it was not called for, he simply scoffed it off, saying "Let him 'do his thing'" - which basically means: allow him to fondle you (even in spite of the fact that the two of you are NOT even doing a scene together). It was also revealed that he had been repeatedly inappropriate with other females on the set - and not just the talent. When confronted with this, he defensively asked "Who said that?" and when he was told that it was in confidence, he retorted "Well, then you have no recourse, do you? And even if it is so, there's nothing you can do about it." Let it also be known that he completely mislead her in what her scene involved in the way of sex, hiring her to do 'ONE' thing, and then in the middle of the scenario, expecting it to go further than arranged and agreed.

Mila Off The Xanax

Brad from Danger Boy Video writes: Hey Luke- This thing has gotten so out of hand. Now we have Dennis printing tricks names online to prove his point. That's kinda cool, actually. Anyway, his story sounds pretty close to accurate, the way we heard it from Mila. She did meet up and all that, she just didn't marry the guy. She can run game as well as the next slut, but she can't handle hanging out with dorks. This "john" may have dough and may want to spend it on her....but the girl knows that a trick is a trick is a trick...and at some point, Mr. Mila would be traveling alone and feel the need to stop in and drop a grand on another whore, a grand that would technically be half hers if she were the wife. As for that Exotic whatever whorehouse on wheels in NY, we all told Mila not to go. I mean, call it what you want, but Dennis does run a class act, and when we first heard that Mila was heading out there, we knew that she was going to be" taken care of". She needs a bit more attention than most girls and she never had any problems at the ranch, other than the seizure thing. But flying 3000 miles away from home, no friends , family, private security, etc....and to do escort by email in hotel rooms... PLEEEEASE! We knew she wasnt going there but they ran that post anyway. It's all over now. We heard she was knitting sweaters and baking brownies....and no...no xanax in the batter.

What's It Like In A Porn Marriage?

Somebody who knows, verified by Luke, writes: Your spouse lives two lives by choice, you by necessity. When you go to the office each day you can’t share what your spouse does, can’t talk about how well they’re doing. You make up vague references, like "she makes small, independent films", or "he’s a free-lance writer, no you wouldn't have seen anything, he’s a technical writer." You keep it from your kids and their teachers. You keep your mouth shut when your spouse is mentioned in connection with someone else. You protect them by not existing yourself. You can try to take an interest but no one can know you’re doing it…you read the websites and try not to believe the rumors you’re reading. You wonder just how faithful anyone could be when they work in a veritable supermarket of sex, young, eager, attractive people everywhere. You put up with being called an "ex" when you really are quite current, because your spouse’s career will go better if she/he is’t encumbered with a middle-class life style. God forbid anyone should find out that they have a house, 2.8 kids, 2 cats and go to church. You try not to let it tear you up too much when you on the phone with your out-of-town spouse and you’re told "I gotta go, my date’s here". It’s mostly difficult, sometimes impossible and you just try to hang on. I don’t wonder that most of the marriages in this industry, both those with both spouses in the business and those with just one in porn fail. I can’t even imagine what it must be like when your spouse is a performer.

Chasey Lain On Howard Stern

Andy writes: Chasey Lain was on Howard Stern on Friday and I saw it on E!. She looked nothing like what you described. She was every bit as healthy and robust as she was during her career. Of course her eyes were just as dead as ever. She mentioned having a 4 month old kid.

Helpful writes: That Howard Stern show was a rerun from last year.

JMT writes: The show had a 1999 copyright notice.

Levi writes: Is there any pleasure more sweet than finding out that an incredibly beautiful woman like Chasey Lain, who would never give any of us the time of day, is now a strung out crack whore?

Cynical writes: Sucking on Ron Jeremy's turgid tool. Sucking on a crack pipe. What's the difference?

Rumdar writes: Yes, For me it would be the Houston Astros beating the Texas Rangers at Enron Field today (Inter-league play.) I am off to the game. BUT Levi, as a man of the cloth you should be praying for this ho's salvation not gloating over her addiction. Shame on you.

Juan writes Luke: I can't believe what a sick group of followers you have. How could anyone take such pleasure in hearing about another persons drug addiction and the destructive effect it is having. Making a comment as this,"Levi writes: Is there any pleasure more sweet than finding out that an incredibly beautiful woman like Chasey Lain, who would never give any of us the time of day, is now a strung out crack whore?" is 10 times worse than anything,any of the woman pornstars have done that you and your moles find fault with. I really don't understand your sick need to put such a digusting statement as that on your site.

Yahoo! Still Headquarters for Child Pornography

WASHINGTON, June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Yahoo! continues to allow child pornography and obscenity to be posted on its servers, according to Patrick A. Trueman, of the American Family Association.

Two months ago Yahoo! announced it would remove such material. "A search of Yahoo!'s Clubs and GeoCities sites, which are available to anyone including children, indicates that a seemingly endless number of the sites contain pornography, depicting children in a variety of sexual poses and involved in sex acts, he said. Examples include the "Pic Club of Preteens," the "Preteen Pics up the Wazoo" Club. Links are provided on these sites to other areas on Yahoo! and elsewhere on the Internet where child pornography may be found. One Yahoo! Club offers the "Complete Lolita Hookers Guide."

Yahoo! also continues to allow hundreds of Clubs and GeoCities sites that offer obscene pornography to viewers, including sexually explicit depictions of violent rape, torture, group sex, urination, scatology, and sadomasochistic acts. Some of the club names include the "Rape Photos," Club with pictures of women being raped, the "Women In Extreme Distress" Club, which includes a picture of a woman captioned "raped and tortured for three days," and the "Young Virgin Slave Market," Club depicting bondage and torture. "Though Yahoo! seems to have removed many Clubs and GeoCities sites with potentially illegal material and has discontinued sales of hardcore pornographic videos, the company is still a magnet for pedophiles and those seeking all varieties of hardcore pornography," Trueman said. On April 12, 2000 Trueman, wrote Attorney General Ashcroft to investigate Yahoo! for federal child pornography and obscenity violations. Trueman continues to urge an investigation. "Yahoo! should not be allowed to profit from the sexual exploitation of children and women," Trueman said. He is AFA's director of governmental affairs, and was chief of the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Criminal Division, U.S. Department of Justice, from 1988 to 1992.
