Condom Use Mandatory for Porns
Porn performers must now wear condoms when they are on certified sound stages that are licensed for shooting. The question is whether or not the porn industry will remain in L.A. or simply move to one of the surrounding counties. Another question is how the ordinance will be upheld.
Players in the porn industry argue that pornographic films featuring condoms do not sell as well as those without them. The industry has been closed down at least twice in the last decade when it was discovered that performers had HIV.

Sesame Street YouTube Channel Hacked by Pornsters
Sesame Street's YouTube channel was hacked and replaced with pornography over the weekend. An administrator says the problem was recognized and handled within 20 minutes of the event. The channel was taken down.
The user who claimed responsibility in the porn videos and comments denied responsibility for the actions, indicating his account was also hacked by whomever replaced the Sesame Street videos. Whoever runs a second name attached to the incident has yet to confirm or deny involvement.
At the time of this writing, the Sesame Street channel is still down.

Octomom 'Gets What She Deserves'
Octomom apparently filmed some kind of bizarre porn video for Vivid Video, the bastion of "quality" porn. In the video, she is said to whip a guy wearing a diaper. Well, at least it's classy.
I am dismayed on so many levels here that I don't even know where to begin, but I'll try:
America has become a third-world country where we, the citizens, are concerned (if you're a politician, policeman, lawyer, judge, celebrity, banker, or are rich, it's the "greatest country in the world"). I won't beat a dead horse by pointing-out how Congress, the Senate, the President, and the Powers That Be in general live in cartoon luxury -- with $1500/hour hookers, private jets, fat raises and bonuses -- or how they re-appropriated our money to numerous, corrupt corporations and industries, including the banks and Wall Street, who caused this mess in the first place. And there is no question that Octomom made a series of truly bad mistakes on a recurring basis.
But why are we content to be the country in which a mother of 14 children is forced to enter the sex industry just to feed them, just to keep them in a house? We have always been the kind of country to insist that, when bad things happen to anyone (good, bad, or otherwise) that person 'got what (s)he deserves.' That's simply retarded, yet the overwhelming majority of the country believes this, despite what they or the media tells us -- their actions belie what they say. But, most importantly, nobody cares.
This is specifically due to Christianity and, more specifically, due to a denomination of Christians called Baptists. In the late 1980s, these were the Fundamentalists who amassed to form what is known as the "Religious Right." The Religious Right lead the charge to censor such things as horror movies, heavy metal music, TV shows and movies; they were also behind the censoring of comic books in the 1950s, and they are ardent supporters of the NRA. They literally extorted the country through a mixture of religious guilt, a series of boycotts, and their voting power. And they enjoy reminding people how they support the Second Amendment by showing-off their guns and making huge donations to the NRA. We keep hearing that the Religious Right was a product of their time and the movement is largely over, but that's just more media whitewashing; make no mistake, the Religious Right is alive and well (retarded, though) and still poisoning our country.
Octomom is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a good or decent person, according to everything I've heard -- she intentionally became pregnant with two litters of children, after all. No matter your political affiliation or beliefs... that's fucked-up!
But, if we truly are not a nation still under the Religious Right's thumb, then why don't we care that 14 children are going to grow-up to learn that we forced their mother to debase herself just so she could afford to house, clothe, and feed them?

Coca-Cola Accused of Attracting Children with Porn
Coca-Cola was accused of what amounts to corruption of a minor when a Facebook advertising campaign for Dr. Pepper referred to the "2 Girls, 1 Cup" YouTube video -- which is disturbingly pornographic -- on a 14-year-old, British girl's account. When the girl read the message, she searched for the video. When her mom found out about the whole thing, she was "absolutely fizzing with rage and disgust," as she posted on Mumsnet, a social network for parents. She asked Coca-Cola for an apology and full explanation.
The campaign allowed users to sign-up with Coca-Cola (Dr. Pepper), which then sent embarrassing status updates from their accounts. A winner was to be announced and awarded a cash prize. The corporation said it is looking into what happened, but one of the other status updates from the campaign was, "Never heard it described as cute before." Coca-Cola admits that they had approved the offending message without realizing its true nature.
Coca-Cola offered the mom a hotel room and tickets to a live show, which she refused.

Emma Watson Nude Pics Faker Faces Jail
John Cavanagh, who digitally placed Emma Watson's head on an underage girl's nude body and circulated the images, plead guilty to 19 counts of making an indecent image of a child. Cavanagh claimed the photos were nude shots of Harry Potter star, Emma Watson.
Once the pictures were discovered to be fake and Cavanagh was discovered to be the uploader, authorities raided his home and found hundreds of child pornography images on his computer.

ELI ROTH USED TO BE A GIRL!
Well, kinda...
Horror director and Inglourious Basterds star, Eli Roth, told the New York Post he worked as a sex chatroom chick back in college. He says they hired men instead of girls because men knew what other men wanted to hear. He also said he became proficient at chatting with multiple people and could type up to 120 words per minute... one-handed.
According to Roth, there were even magazine ads for him... er, her. He said the majority of the people with whom he chatted were scientists and professors, as this was 1991. He did not reveal his nom de porn.

According to sources, Bullock is excited to get her chance at motherhood, but Lindemulder is fearful of losing custody to the celebrity couple. Sunny is five.

AMC Airs Hardcore Pornographic 30 Rock Spot
A corrupted commercial file for TV show 30 Rock was blamed for two instances of hardcore porn which flashed across viewers' sets as they watched Patriot Games on cable network, AMC yesterday.
A spokesperson said the network received a "handful" of complaints (no pun intended, I'm sure), but given AMC's audience share, that could mean everyone watching... She added they may never know how the file was corrupted nor whom is responsible.
The 9-second hardcore pornography clip embedded in the middle of the commercial included an anal sex scene.
And you thought there was nothing worth watching on Sundays!

Lindsay Lohan Turns Down Playboy
Lindsay Lohan reportedly turned down a $700,000 offer from Playboy to do an eight-page spread.
A "creative consultant" for the magazine said the offer was for Lohan to do images as an homage to Ann-Margret's film, Kitten with a Whip. Lohan recreated some nude scenes from Marilyn Monroe's famed "Last Sitting" for New York Magazine and one source said she "does not want to go down [that] road again."
For now, viewers will have to settle for free snatch-shots online.

Joe Francis in Court Again
Joe Francis, founder and owner of the Girls Gone Wild video series (which I am ashamed to admit has become an American institution), is back in court again and this time, I'm actually on his side - kinda.
Ashley Dupré - the girl who became famous for being the whore who slept with then-New York governor, Eliot Spitzer, is suing Joe Francis for peddling her naked image in a new Girls Gone Wild video. The years-old footage is backed by a legal release, but here's the kicker: Dupré was 17 at the time and Francis plied her with alcohol - and the suit was filed in Florida!
According to Francis, they could still peddle her underage images, since no sexual contact was involved. Further, he says they even offered her $1 million, which she declined (but he said they were willing to let her reconsider). Dupré has hit Francis and his cohorts and companies with a slew of charges, including cybersquatting and unfair enrichment.
Now, I can understand her wanting to make a living the way she does without it being public knowledge, but it's a wee-bit late for that, now isn't it? The long and short of it is that Dupré just doesn't want anyone else to get a piece of the action - so to speak. Looky here, Little Miss Thang, your 15 minutes is about up; I'd take the $1 million and STFU.

Ah, America
How much does it suck that I have a blog dedicated to Americana and almost everyday, I am reminded of just how ashamed I am to be American?
In this week alone, whores dominated the news, morning talk shows, midday talk shows, and cable stations after the governor of one of the largest American cities was caught diddling one; Joe Francis was repeatedly described as a "maven," "guru," "genius," "rock star," and "mogul"; and all of Capitol Hill literally bent over backward to kiss Bill Gates' ass as he demanded Microsoft and Google be allowed to give more overseas workers jobs because they will work for less than their American counterparts!
I really wanted to go-off an a rant here, but to be honest, just re-reading that... I mean, it pretty much says it all.
Governor Spitzer's entire platform was "cleaning-up" the streets and he was all against the hookers. That he should be caught banging one is no surprise. I think that's what bothers me more than anything: the fact that I'm not bothered by it at all. I wasn't even a little shocked; I couldn't care less. And the fact that the whore involved now has a budding music career which took-off literally overnight? Pffft. I won't even bat an eye when the reality show is announced.
The Joe Francis situation is quite a bit different: this guy is a pornographer! No, let me take that back: this guy doesn't even have the balls to be an actual pornographer - he's such a douche that even chicks who do hardcore porn don't want anything to do with him. He is the creepy 30-something guy who hangs around outside of highschools... literally! I mean, he literally is! Now, I whole-heartedly agree that he was illegally imprisoned by officials who abused their power and authority, but "genius"? Joe Francis is what passes for a "genius" in America? Really? Really, America? Genius? Really?
Last, but oh so far from least, the Bill Gates appearance on Capitol Hill was quite literally breathtaking - breathtaking! One politico after another prefaced their every word with ass-licking praise for the world's richest thief of intellectual property before saying they agreed with every word he said when he suggested they allow even more moderately-qualified foreign workers into the country to take jobs major computer-based companies, including Microsoft and Google, refuse to pay equally or better -qualified American workers a competitive wage to do!
Now, tell me again why it's bad to drop out of highschool? Why is it wrong to sell drugs? What, exactly, is the problem with taking advantage of people?
Let's face it: if you get caught committing a heinous crime in America, you will only be infamous for 15 minutes - but if it makes you rich, you're a genius.

One Jackass Gets Out, Another Goes In
Florida officials did release porn auteur, Joe Francis. And Jackass' Steve-O landed in Cedars-Sinai with a felony cocaine charge.
Francis showed up to Panama City court yesterday and accepted a plea-bargain from prosecutors, though both he and his lawyer made it clear that he only did this to remain free and focus on the federal charges, which will hopefully tuck him away for quite some time to come.
Francis said that "Panama City is a corrupt town, run by corrupt officials." He then said the town was filled with "inbreds who are totally corrupt." But this time he managed not to cry.
Francis faced a string of charges, including conspiracy, prostitution, and using minors in a sexual performance. He still faces federal charges across country. If found guilty in that case, Joe Francis faces 10 years in prison.
My suggestion is not to lock him up and throw away the key; lock him up and shove the key about 3' up his ass. Then tell the other inmates where it is.
In closely-related news, former Jackass "star," Steve-O was admitted to Cedars-Sinai hospital sometime Sunday. Also facing felony charges, Steve-O's are related to cocaine possession, stemming from a March 3rd arrest.

Joe Francis Headed to Florida
Joe Francis has been released from a Nevada jail so he can travel to Florida to await charges there.
When all of this first came down, I was all-for charging Joe Francis and basically throwing the book at him. See, my personal philosophy is that just because you can do something doesn't really give you the right to. And while I don't generally care to push my personal agenda, beliefs, or philosophy on others, I truly believe that America has become the cesspool of the entire world specifically because we've been trained to "accept" every opinion, outlook, and POV as valid, when - in fact - a lot of them are utter crap!
Racists have the "right" to promote their perverted beliefs, but it doesn't mean they should. And If they do anyway and others resort to underhanded means to retaliate, I do not agree with it, but I understand why it is done. But it is wrong, regardless of whether or not it is done for a "greater" good and there's the rub.
The Joe Francis case is a sociological and legal gem that deserves close scrutiny because it illustrates this entire ideology from both ends of the spectrum:
See, the problem with Sociopaths like Joe Francis is that he knows better - he just doesn't care - so there's no point in trying to "teach him a lesson" because he already knows this! Just like sending people to jail for minor offenses only teaches them to distrust the system and learn more creative methods of circumventing it, all this "lesson" is going to do is make Joe Francis more legally savvy.
Not to mention that it is a damning double-standard. While I could not agree more that Joe Francis - above and beyond pretty much anyone else I can think of, past or present - deserves this sort of treatment, the simple fact of the matter is that it is an abuse of the legal system, plain and simple. And even though Francis abused the legal system to get there, it still doesn't make it right.
As usual, America is sending out a completely mixed message: celebrities are not "above the law," so we're going to "make an example" of them... wha-at!? Either they are the same as everyone else - and thus deserve to be treated as everyone else - or they are not; there is no room for a middle-ground. Quit "making examples" and uphold the law, you damned politicos!
Look, I am no pie-eyed hippy; I fully understand and agree that there comes a time when you have to drop the gauntlet and let certain people know you mean business. But even then, there is a right and wrong way to handle it, and this is the wrong way.
Florida is a hot-spot of meth-infested strip clubs, well-known for its pornography trade. Coming down hard on Joe Francis with both feet doesn't make them look "tough on porn," it simply illustrates the fact that they are crooked politicos looking to boost their poll-ratings in an election year.
But, make no mistake about it, Joe Francis is an asshole.

- Francis did not technically do anything illegal, but what he did/does is just barely legal and is morally reprehensible from any standpoint. That he can take advantage of people does not give him the right to and he's an asshole because he knows this - he just doesn't care. On those grounds, I agree that he is a threat to the community, at-large.
- The law has no real case against him, so it is dragging the entire thing out. That they can do this doesn't give them the right to, but abuse by literally every, single person involved in the American legal system in any capacity is so rampant that we might as well be living in Bolivia. They are the same flavor asshole as Joe Francis.

Lawyer Confirms Gene Simmons Sex Tape
Gene Simmons' lawyer has confirmed that the man appearing in a sex tape is, in fact, Gene Simmons.
His lawyer sent a cease and desist letter to the owners of a website that appeared Tuesday, claiming all sorts of reasons for them to remove the video, including KISS licensing infringements.
While The Rundown cannot link to the video, nor the bios, nor really any sites that have anything to do with this because The Rundown is not an adult blog and The Weirding is not an adult site, I have seen portions of the video.
First of all, the God of Thunder is definitely guilty of exaggeration; while he certainly has nothing to be embarrassed over, I don't think you will be hearing much more of his Plaster Caster braggadocio. Further, the chick is an adult "model" (read: working whore) who has apparently at least performed solo-action previous to this "hardcore" appearance. Lastly, this is an awful sex video; nothing hot about it at all.
This is the first I've heard about it and, for no real reason other than that I couldn't think of anything else to listen to, I was rocking-out to KISS videos on YouTube just last night!
I am not sure that porno-related prescience would have been my superpower of choice. But hey, you work with what you got - right, Gene?

This is the first I've heard about it and, for no real reason other than that I couldn't think of anything else to listen to, I was rocking-out to KISS videos on YouTube just last night!
I am not sure that porno-related prescience would have been my superpower of choice. But hey, you work with what you got - right, Gene?

Crawlspace: XXXombies #2 Sold-Out, New Printing!
I will take some small amount of credit for this - after all, I did give it a glowing review... a few weeks after it came out. But all the same, while the creative team made one of the best things I have ever seen from Image Comics, I will take some small amount of credit for its growing popularity. For, you know, no real reason, whatsoever. This is an official Image Comics press release:CRAWL SPACE: XXXOMBIES #2 sells out, second printing on the way!
December 18th, 2007 (Berkeley, CA) - Following its much anticipated debut, CRAWL SPACE: XXXOMBIES #2 has sold out at a distribution level with a second printing on its way to meet demand.
"I'm glad the response for the book has been so strong," Remender said. "When we saw the orders for #3 and #4 go up we knew the book had found it's audience. Working with Kieron Dwyer and Tony Moore is always a joy and the sales on this mean Kieron and I will be able to produce Crawl Space together for years to come."
CRAWL SPACE, the ongoing horror anthology by FEAR AGENT's Rick Remender and REMAINS' Kieron Dwyer, made its debut with XXXombies, a collaboration with THE WALKING DEAD's original artist, Tony Moore. The immediate reaction resulted in a quick sell through on the first issue, with subsequent orders remaining solid. To thank fans for the support, the second printing of XXXOMBIES issue #2 will feature an all-new cover by series artist Kieron Dwyer.
Dwyer said, "Crawl Space is a dream project for me and Rick, so it's definitely very gratifying that people are digging the series launch so much. We had such a ball making the XXXombies arc, we're really glad to know that others are enjoying it too. Thanks to the fans and retailers for their support of our new baby!"
CRAWL SPACE: XXXOMBIES #2 2nd-printing (OCT078336), a 32-page comic for $2.99, will be available January 9th, 2008.

Pam Anderson: Not the Marrying Kind
Pamela Anderson has filed for divorce from fellow porn-star, Rick Salomon, after only two months of marriage. The two wed while Anderson was on hiatus from her magician's assistant gig in Vegas. Anderson cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for her divorce. In Hollywood-speak, this would generally mean Salomon is gay, but Salomon is semi-famous for having had sex with Paris Hilton on film, so it may mean that he sleeps around... outside of Hollow-wood, most would say, "Duh," but we have to remember that this is Pam Anderson, so it's not like she necessarily did know this.
Anderson made news a few months back, when she instigated a fight between rockers Kid Rock and Tommy Lee. She was married to both. Her marriage to Rock lasted exactly twice as long as her marriage to Salomon.

Image's Crawl Space: XXXombies - A Review
Well, we finally got back on schedule yesterday. I told you I had a wealth of press releases in my arsenal here, with even more to come. But I also said I was going to get you a few reviews of comics I'm reading, so let's jump right in with Image Comics' Crawl Space: XXXombies #1:
Brought to us by Rick Remender, Tony Moore, and Kieron Dwyer, XXXombies starts off with a bang - literally - as a plane crashes into the Hollywood sign, scant miles from where a gaggle of lowlifes are filming a porn for some mob syndicate.
The dialogue is light and direct - I mean, the premise itself tells you this is not kids' fare, but the dialogue is direct. And hilarious!
We all know my general views on porn - I'm against the industry, not the product - and it was so refreshing to read this kind of dialogue, which reminded me that I, as usual, am so right.
Regardless of how you feel about the subject matter - and I mean it guys, this is rough - any fan will immediately recognize the mastery in the storytelling; this is how comics are supposed to be done! The characterization is quick and unapologetic (this guy's a jerk, that one's a dweeb, this girl's a drug-addicted whore, that one's a lost soul looking for her way, etc.), as is the art. Both are full-fledged, no-holds-barred sketches that are not rendered to impress, but to tell a story.
That is not to say they are not deft and accurate - far from it! - in fact, it's quite the opposite. XXXombies is simply a brilliant piece of sequential artwork, sans crosshatching, political correctness, pathos, or any apologetic overtones. XXXombies is about a 1970s porn set in the direct onslaught of a zombie horde and it does not bother with two-page splashes and superhero poses, nor does it attempt to whitewash what is, in fact, a reprehensible and base industry full of hookers and shitheels.
These aren't misunderstood ne'er-do-wells "just trying to survive"; these aren't misunderstood, "blue-collar workers" carrying on any sort of tradition. These are dopefiends, thugs, and whores, preying on innocents and imposing their will on others. And then there are zombies.
And it's the best thing I have ever read from Image Comics!
Highly recommended!

Vanessa Hudgens: Immoral Homewrecker
ROFLMAO!
Oh wow. Okay, I wasn't going to report on this because it's really a non-news item, but I came across the doozy of all comments that you literally have got to read!
This young actress, one Vanessa Hudgens, who appears in Disney's highest-rated cable movie ever, High School Musical (and the sequel), apparently took some nakies of herself in a mirror with a cellphone and some jerky douchebag posted them all over the internet.
Now, Miss Hudgens is 18-years old and has every right to expose herself to whomever she chooses, but it is undeniable that her role in these family-friendly movies has made her something of a "tween" role model, so many goodwives and burghers are wringing their hands and crying, "Witch!"
Now I was going to let this all go because - well, who effing cares? But then, while reading about this on E!, I came across this comment:
I came home from work yesterday afternoon to find my 14 year old son pleasuring himself to these pictures of Ms. Hudgens while looking at them on the internet. I thought he took awfully long bathroom breaks while we watched HSM 2 the other night. When I caught him yesterday, he couldn't stop and he just asked me to leave him alone so he could finish. I blame this ackward [sic] moment and my son's immoral demise on Vanessa Hudgens and I refuse to support anything that she ever appears in again. As for my innocent young son, I may have to take him into therapy to stop his chronic habit, all because this young lady has a lack of morals and lacks the ability to make good decisions. I will never be able to pleasure men the way that I used to because I will only picture my son in my mind. The life of my family is changed forever and many men will lose the pleasure of my mouth, all because this young lady chose to expose herself to the world. Way to go, Vanessa Hudgens!
