One of the theories circling around Porn Valley this busy morning is that John Stagliano’s rendition of his Fashionistas show during the AVN Awards mocked the federal government. Not only do federal agents typically attend the AVN Expo and AVN Awards Show, but with the show airing repeatedly on Showtime, it gave Washington ample opportunity to see his possibly-perceived offense.
Is this why Evil Angel got singled out?
I think it was less about mocking the federal government and more about his violations of the law.
For years people have been saying we need to clean up our act. There is no damn reason to have a image of a gaping asshole filled with cum on the cover of a box. It’s just asking for trouble.
People love to give Vivid so much shit about their pretty girl image but look who’s ass is not in jail tonight.
Stagliano’s ass isn’t in jail, if that’s what you mean.
How about this idea for bait: Stagliano ran his stage version of Fashionistas in Las Vegas to mainstream American crowds for years so that he could someday use its run as evidence in an obscenity trial, anywhere in the country.
“Vegas is America’s City”, etc.
Kelli has got to be kidding me.
The only people making money in this biz are the Gonzo assholes that have nothing BUT gaping assholes on their boxcovers. Get real girlfriend!
The Stag hasn’t even been served with papers, yet alone gotten locked up.
We’ve gotten away with stuff like this for so many years. We clearly forgot about all those arrests in the ’80s and now we’ve gone to far.
I’m sorry but one man’s gaping ass hole is another man’s ball and chain.
We are all forgetting that the feds haven’t gotten a “mainstream porn” obscenity conviction in forever. This is just a tactic to bleed the industry. And it will cost John $500K+ to make it go away.
Indictment is the fed’s dirty trick. Here’s is how it works: they target a scene, one line of dialog or a snapshot at the back of the box, go after the producer and distributer, and after years of building the case and anticipation, the case gets thrown out of court. Here is the twist: eventhough they know more likely they can’t get a guilty verdict and put a smut peddler behid the bars, but they’re doing it, because they know years of legal struggle, overwhelming
stress and thousands of dollars attorney fees will eventually bring down the producer, and sometimes bankrupts him and puts him out of the business, and also draws and defines the red lines for everyone else, from top to bottom. Look at Max Hardcore for example. He thought he was the smart guy, he thought he could get away with fisting and traumatizing
naive new commers and pissing on them.The feds went after him several times, he’s not in the jail, but he’s completely broke and fucked in the ass. He can no longer afford to produce content on a consistency level, he lives off his old content, the titles he puts out through JM Productions are re-releases of his old material, and he’s also on clips.com, selling his scenes for $5.00 each. Of course you know how clips.com shares the sales profit, right? It’s %60 for the site, %40 for the producer; in other words, he only makes 2 bucks on each of his scenes. Another example is Robert Black who thought his indictment was a blissing from the sky that will define him as the ultimate bad ass/saviour of the adult industry. Bullshit. Now he’s so fucked that he can’t even release anything on DVD, he shoots cheap scenes with retard skanks whom he picks up on craiglist and sexy jobs, gives them $100.00 in cash and a handful of pills to do a blow job scsne and put it on hotmovies.com. All in all, the feds don’t tend to put smut peddlers in jail and pay $40.000 a year for their expenses, they tend to cripple the industry, turn people against each other, and burn the whole house down. And looks like they’re winning.
max hardcore is a sick bastard. that type of gonzo/rape shit is borderline satanic. i like to see a good hard fucking as much as the next guy. but it’s only hot if that’s how the girl likes it too. sure most porno bitches are dumb, but they’re still people. these women are under-educated, vulnerable and defenseless most of the time. it’s a hard, scary world to live in if you are a woman. and women are beautiful beings to be cherished, respected, and then cummed on. even the hardest whore should never be raped. max hardcore can rot in hell.
chip love = capt. saveaho
funny. “capt. save-a-ho”. that’s original. nothing can save these ho’s. who cares if a chick decides to ho or not. the point is they shouldn’t be raped. if you get off on that shit then fuck off.
What’s funnier than being Captain Sayvaho would be if the captain were simultaneously running a porn agency, sending them out to the wolves with one stretched out arm and then cuddling ones coming back with the other. According to surveys some women have admitted to having rape fantasies (it’s an undeground fetish, but always with safety stop words). As far as work is concerned there will always be a girl willing to be traumatized on video because they need the money and they know if they don’t take it someone else will. In the end, the Feds got fed up, and yes, they will just bleed you financially even if they can’t convict you, effectively achieving the same result.
Hey, WTF happened to AVN these days? I wanted to read the review of “Her 1st Lesbian Sex #12” and there’s no review, not even any names. Then other movies don’t even have a picture of the box or it’s just too small to read. Must I go to avn.com just to read who’s in all these movies? Staring too much at computer screens gives me a carpal tunnel and a headache. I’m thinking of changing my name to “others” because that name is in just about every movie listed these days.

Serious?? Well if pornographers know this, then why did Stagliano mock them? You don’t mock the government if you’re in porn and you always pay your fucking taxes. Geez!

What happened to Vivid? They were suppose to be vanilla porn and porn for couples. But now Savannah Samson gets raped and tortured by Steven St. Croix in their new movie. I read some scenes had to be edited out because Vivid lawyers said it looked like Savannah was really being raped. Should I just start watching more gonzo since Vivid it already headed that way?

Why hasn’t Hardcore ever been charged with rape because I read he has raped many of the girls when they showed up on set and didn’t know who Hardcore is and what was expected? Does he threaten them to not testify?

Jesus Christ! I went there today and for the first time this pop-up of Tera Patrick showed up and wouldn’t go away and stalked me to every page I visited!
