Confirmed: John Edwards Co-Starred in Preggers Porn Video

Since our last post on the subject of John Edwards, a few more details of the alleged porn video have leaked out. First off we can scratch the "alleged" part. Edwards' mistress confirmed its existence by filing an injunction against ex-Edwards aide and tell-all book author Andrew Young releasing the tape.

Thesmokinggun.com has the documents:

According to an affidavit filed yesterday in North Carolina Superior Court, Hunter reported that she was having an "intimate relationship" with Edwards in 2006, and that the video was made around September of that year.

ABC News reports more details. Namely that the woman in the video is large and in charge:

Though Young never saw the woman's face in the tape, he said she was "visibly pregnant" and was "wearing a bracelet" and a "thumb ring" typically worn by Rielle Hunter.

"It's her jewelry," Andrew Young's wife, Cheri, told ABC News. "It could be on another woman with the same jewelry."

The Washington Post meanwhile notes a fascinating possibility. There may be multiple videos out there starring Edwards:

It remains unclear if Hunter's 2006 tape is the same one that Young claims to have found. Young admits the pregnant woman's face is never visible in the tape. Furthermore, Hunter gave birth to her and Edwards's daughter, Frances Quinn, more than a year after she says her 2006 "private" video was made.(Emphasis added.)

So Edwards has a thing for making amateur porn videos starring himself with pregnant chicks? Nahh, probably not; I'm guessing it is Hunter in the tape and somebody is just confused over the dates.

Oh, the ABC story has this other great tidbit:

Young claims that Edwards even called upon him in late May 2007 to convince Hunter to terminate her pregnancy.

"The senator tried to convince her to have an abortion. ... He tried to convince me to convince Rielle to have an abortion," Young told Woodruff.

"She [Hunter] asked me if I were in her shoes what would I do. And if I said, 'I'm pro-choice, but after having had three kids, if you're asking me what I would do, no, I would not do it,'" Young recalled of his conversation with Hunter.

Young claims that Edwards was infuriated with him for not convincing Hunter and stressed that he was not certain the baby was his because Hunter was a "weird slut and a freak." (Emphasis added.)

Stay classy, Edwards.

Senator Bow Chicka Wow?

Former senator and vice presidential candidate John Edwards is doing relief work in Haiti right now in a fairly obvious attempt at rehabilitating his name, i.e., get good press. Well, work hard senator.

Gawker reports that Edwards made a sex tape with the mistress that he knocked up:

Sources have told us that, in the throes of their affair, John Edwards and Rielle Hunter made a sex tape that contains "several sex acts." And that his aide, Andrew Young found it on an unmarked DVD.

The tape, say both our sources, is explicit and reveals that Edwards "is physically very striking, in a certain area. Everyone who sees it says 'whoa'. She's behind the camera at first."

And that is of course just the thing you want to leave lying around if you are running of the United States. Even Bill Clinton is shaking his head and saying, "Fucking amateur ..."

If it sounds like I am taking an unseemly delight in Edwards' troubles it is because I am. He is a lying, sleazy, narcissistic scumbag whose champion of the downtrodden pose is complete pr bullshit. I don't have the slightest doubt that he would not be in Haiti if there were not reporters and cameras to see him. And yet twice, if history had been slightly different, he would have gotten in the White House. What a country.

Bold Prediction for 2011 and Beyond

Here it is: Proliferation of streaming, on-demand mobile pornography will have disastrous consequences for worker productivity and drivers every where.

At the very least there's a 3-1 chance of this guy losing his job in the next 12 months because of it.

Isn't technology fantastic? And let's not leave porn out either. Porn's pretty good too. But without technology I'd still be jerking off to my imagination. Stupid imagination.

National Science Foundation Bogged Down in Pornography Investigations

Washington Times:

Employee misconduct investigations, often involving workers accessing pornography from their government computers, grew sixfold last year inside the taxpayer-funded foundation that doles out billions of dollars of scientific research grants, according to budget documents and other records obtained by The Washington Times.

The problems at the National Science Foundation (NSF) were so pervasive they swamped the agency's inspector general and forced the internal watchdog to cut back on its primary mission of investigating grant fraud and recovering misspent tax dollars.

Humm...Really? What exactly occurs during these "investigations" of misconduct? I mean this isn't like the CSI of workplace porn or something. Buy some software to block pornography sites for christ's sake. You don't need to understand the motivations of why someone is looking at porn at work. I can do that for free for you: BECAUSE THEY CAN.

To manage this dramatic increase without an increase in staff required us to significantly reduce our efforts to investigate grant fraud," the inspector general recently told Congress in a budget request. "We anticipate a significant decline in investigative recoveries and prosecutions in coming years as a direct result."

This whole thing sounds like a smoke screen for the foundation's own failure to uncover grant fraud. Or just a another way of asking for more money from taxpayers.

I'm not buying this. I can't view any website that even mentions a money line for a football game at work, let alone an actual gambling site, and the guys in charge over at the NSF can't figure out a way to stop this guy?

For instance, one senior executive spent at least 331 days looking at pornography on his government computer and chatting online with nude or partially clad women without being detected, the records show.

When finally caught, the NSF official retired. He even offered, among other explanations, a humanitarian defense, suggesting that he frequented the porn sites to provide a living to the poor overseas women. Investigators put the cost to taxpayers of the senior official's porn surfing at between $13,800 and about $58,000.

Full article here. Well worth a read. And if they must expand on their Porn Investigation Unit I'd like to go ahead and offer up my services for a job. I'm like a human porn hound the way I can sniff it out.

The Downside Of Marrying A Porn Actress

You cannot be town manager at Ft. Myers Beach, Florida:

MIAMI (AP) — A South Florida town manager who married a porn star last year was fired at an emergency meeting after the mayor and council members learned about it.

Fort Myers Beach town council voted 5-0 to fire Scott Janke "without cause" after Mayor Larry Kiker called the Tuesday night meeting.

Kiker said he learned that afternoon that Janke's wife is an adult film star, and the elected officials took the action a few hours later.

"At no time did we make a judgment call on the activities of Mr. Janke or his wife," Kiker told The Associated Press. "It's a matter of how effective he becomes after this situation. How much disruption there is."

***

"Our heads are held high," Scott Janke said. "We have nothing to be embarrassed about. We've done nothing wrong."

The city's bullshit explanation for this?

Councilman Tom Babcock, responding to residents' questions, said at a council meeting Wednesday that Janke was fired because his wife's profession brought an inaccurate image to Fort Myers Beach, according to the News-Press of Fort Myers.

"When you become a public figure you are held to a different level of scrutiny and ethics," Babcock said.

Hey, dumbass, did it occur to you that firing Janke would cause way more scrutiny and disruption for the town than just letting the matter go?

Read the whole thing here. The pic above is the most SFW one I could find of Anabela Mota Janke, aka Jazella Moore, who specializes in "MILF" videos apparently. She's an authentic one too. According to the AP story, she has three teenaged children to support. Won't somebody please think of the children?

New York To Boost Porn Downloading In New Jersey

Gov. David Paterson is pushing for a law to add a 4% tax on downloading music and movies, and, yes, this will apply to porn too:

"This is simply bringing the tax code in line with technology," said Matt Anderson, a spokesman for the state Division of the Budget.

"Regardless of whether or not an item is purchased at a brick-and-mortar store or online, it would be treated consistently."

Paterson also said last night that the rich will "share in the sacrifice" of closing New York's budget gap.

Paterson, in language almost identical to that used by supporters of the so-called millionaire's tax, said the wealthy will not be spared.

"Every New Yorker will share in the sacrifice to get this budget balanced," he told the New York State Association of Black and Puerto Rican Legislators.

Would it be too terribly tasteless of me to point out that a tax on watching porn is being proposed by a guy who is blind? It would be? Okay, then I won't mention it.

In any event, as the New York Daily News article notes, since the law applies only to businesses that are physically located in the state, all it does is create an incentive for them to move across state lines. Which is pretty easy to do if your product is electronic.

Oh, and by the way:

Paterson has previously argued that spending cuts - not a new tax on the wealthy - should be the priority. His spokesman said the governor's new comments did not represent a shift in his position.

Every Uncle's Biggest Fear -- Nephews Producing Inferior Porn Under Their Surname

Larry Flynt says, "Don't sully my name"

Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt has been called a lot of things over the years. But he insists that the Flynt name still stands for quality when it comes to adult entertainment.

So this week, he filed suit against two nephews who are using the family name for their own line of adult films. Flynt said he is going to court to protect his good name, saying that he is concerned that Jimmy Flynt II and Dustin Flynt might tarnish the Flynt franchise by producing lower-quality porn that the lawsuit calls "inferior products" and "knock-off goods."


"To come into the adult entertainment business and use my name not only confuses people who buy my products, but if they're not maintaining a certain quality, it could also hurt my name," Larry Flynt told The Times on Tuesday.

There is actually legal standing to prevent a family member from using their own name if it potentially infringes upon another family members trademark. To which I agree with the younger Flynt:

"The fact of the matter is my name is Flynt. If I can't use my name to do business, then what kind of society, what kind of world is that?"

Unless You Count My Pained Penis, There Are No Victims of Online Pornography

Another installment of -- Things I Read So You Don't Have To.

Mary Eberstadt writing over at The Catholic Thing on Lust and porno:

The news – and as it happens, there is some real news about all this – is that this sophisticated game of dumbing down the costs of Lust has left many people disarmed at what may be the worst possible time. Such was the plain meaning of a conference at Princeton last weekend on “The Social Costs of Pornography.” The Witherspoon Institute and two other groups organized a gathering that for once truly deserves the adjective “groundbreaking” – an unprecedented assortment of psychiatrists, psychologists, authors, scientists, and professors of sociology, psychology, law, and philosophy, summoned from around the nation to tally up and explain, in particular, the human toll of internet pornography.


Just for starters, another outstanding lie of our time – that pornography itself is a victimless, harmless pursuit – has been definitively laid to rest by these researchers. In an age of so many fake victims, they offered a torrent of data about real ones. Lawyers reported that a growing percentage of divorces now come from pornography addiction. Therapists reported that frustrated wives and girlfriends gave the ultimatum, “it’s your porn or me,” only to have husbands and boyfriends choose the former – with family trauma and breakup the entirely predictable results. All this is to say nothing of the children and adolescents dragooned into the “industry” via drugs, prostitution, and rape; or of the many other children and adolescents who have been inadvertently or deliberately exposed to internet pornography as their first template, with consequences that even the most jaded psychologists and related practitioners cannot yet imagine.

So there's a lot to digest there, and I encourage you to read the whole thing if you aren't to busy ignoring your wife and kids and rubbing one out to some ATM porn (ass-to-mouth, Mary). If that's the case let me break it down for you -- Porn is bad. Easy to get, no cost, with as many genres as one could want; internet pornography is even worse. It's the cause of divorces, family trauma and enables rape, drug abuse and paedophilia. In fact, if you watch porn online you are probably supporting the terrorists directly. You didn't know this did you? I didn't either, and truthfully I made that last one up. Sssh, don't tell anyone. I figured with all the exaggerated bullshit in no-fun-Nancy's article you wouldn't notice a made-up statement or two thrown in.

The real take-away outrage from a piece like this is that these people are so blinded by their own value system that they miss the real benefits from something like internet pornography. There has been a lot of serious work done in the academic community that shows a possible correlation between the decrease of reported rapes in this country over the past 25 years and the availability of pornography over that same time. I tend to believe it, but it may just be a coincidence. However, the sharp decline in rapes, and other violent crimes means that you couldn't possibly connect the easy availability of pornography to a surge in rapes and violent crimes. I may not be able to prove the drop is connected to porn, but if you claim it causes an increase, you better be able to show that increase.

The proliferation of pornography has also empowered women who are involved in the industry. Not all women stars will become the next Jenna Jameison, controlling their own commercial empire, but more have that opportunity now than ever before. While recently there has been a trend towards home produced videos with the explosion of streaming video sites, a large majority of produced (and most importantly) commercialized porn is professionally produced by studios where the women actors hold the most leverage. Women are not coerced into this industry, and contrary to what Mary might think most porn isn't filmed Black Snake Moan style in some sceevy guys basement. Even the at-home productions provides women -- some of who may be single mom types -- access to a previously non-existent income stream.

Here's the best nugget of the piece:

And those are just some obvious casualties. Clinicians also spoke of patients progressing rapidly from itinerant use of “soft-core” pornography to compulsive forages for images of “hard-core” child rape, bestiality, and other violence.

"Hard-core" pornography is not child rape, bestiality, and other violent sexual acts. Hard-core pornography describes pornography that shows penetration, and the parts used for that penetration. It covers all porn. Soft-core is the porn that we all grew-up on that could be found late at night on Showtime. Or as Mary would call it, the gateway porn.

R.I.P Bettie Page (1923-2008)

"I want to be remembered," she said, "as I was when I was young and in my golden times. . . . I want to be remembered as the woman who changed people's perspectives concerning nudity in its natural form."

A Friend Of The Devil Is A Friend Of Mine

I had never, ever heard of Hal Kant, who died on Oct. 19 at age 77, but after I read his obituary, I became a huge fan. He was the Grateful Dead's longtime lawyer and corporate general counsel. He was the one, more than anyone else, who turned that band of smelly socialist hippies into an extremely lucrative corporate machine. As the Dead's Bob Weir told the L.A. Times, Kant, a lifelong Republican, was a "dear friend," who was "most instructive to us.":

"He oversaw every aspect of their business, whether licensing, touring, trademarks, merchandise or Garcia getting busted for drugs," said Jonas Kant, a music lawyer and a senior vice president at Sony/ATV Music Publishing.

"They were known for being a free-loving, peace-loving band, but he helped them run everything like a structured business," he said.

Kant, who accompanied the band on various tours, "did all of their recording and music publishing agreements," his son said. "He was renowned for being very much ahead of his time in terms of protecting the artists' and songwriters' rights."

Kant ensured that the master recordings of the Grateful Dead's music would be owned by the band, his son said. He also enlisted an Oakland law firm to handle enforcement of the band's trademarks.

He was smart in how he did trademark enforcement. He convinced the band to let fans tape performances and trade them. That helped to build the group's loyal fanbase without hurting sales of their own albums. Yet Kant did hit the actual businesses that infringed on the band's trademark. The Times article includes this great bit about how Kant brought Ben & Jerry's to heel:

When Ben & Jerry's ice cream produced a new flavor, Cherry Garcia, in the early 1990s, McNally wrote in his book, the company did so without even discussing the idea with Garcia. Although Garcia was unconcerned when it was first brought to his attention -- "At least they're not naming a motor oil after me, man," he said -- Kant convinced him that the issue should be addressed.

As recounted by McNally, Kant told Garcia: "They will name a motor oil after you if you don't confront this, Jerry. You'll have no control over your name at all."

Garcia finally told Kant, "If it bothers you, go ahead."

"In the next few years," McNally wrote, "Jerry would have no problems in spending the large sum of money he'd earn thanks to the letter Kant wrote" to Ben & Jerry's.

Kant's story gets even better. According to the Wall Street Journal, Kant was also a Nixon administration appointee on a porn commission:

His background in psychology led him to work as director of the Legal and Behavioral Institute in California. While there, he was co-author of "Pornography and Social Deviance," which summarized the findings of President Richard Nixon's Commission of Obscenity and Pornography. To the president's consternation, the panel recommended decriminalizing pornography.

He must have enoyed the research. He later produced some soft-core porn himself:

In 1983, Mr. Kant was producer of porn star Marilyn Chambers's first non-skin flick, "Angel of H.E.A.T.," an exploitation film so slight that that it may have created the straight-to-video category. "They wouldn't let me watch it while they filmed in the backyard," says his son, Jonas Kant, an entertainment lawyer for Sony ATV Music Publishing.

If all of that wasn't cool enough, Kant spent his later years as a world-ranked poker champion:

[He] known on the circuit as Dead Man Kant, puffing on long cigars. "Maybe it's a function of my personality," he said. "But I can't forget the beats [losing hands]. The winners? I can't remember them."

By the time he had won the Pot-Limit Omaha category in the 1987 World Series of Poker, he had given up most of his legal work outside of the Grateful Dead, as the band ascended.

And in the perfect ironic capper for all of this? He thought the Dead's music sucked too:

Musically, Hal Kant wasn't so devoted to the Dead. When it came to touring spectacles, he preferred Wagner's Ring Cycle.

So, he made millions teaching 60s radicals how to love capitalism, defended and made pornography and then retired to a life of playing and winning at high-stakes poker. How can you not love this guy and mourn his passing?

So here's to Hal "Dead Man" Kant, a true American success story. Rest In Peace, dude.

Pack Shack Foils Howard County at Every Anti-Pornography Turn

Is this the definition of having nothing better to do?

For 11 years, Howard County officials and some residents have fought to close the jurisdiction's only adult bookstore.

They've passed legislation and waged costly legal battles, only to be thwarted time and again.

And now, despite a county law designed to force the Ellicott City store to move away from nearby homes or close, the Pack Shack appears poised to prevail again - maintaining its "Adult Video" sign along a busy stretch of U.S. 40, along with shelves of explicit movies, skimpy lingerie and sex toys.

The store's solution? Filling its basement and other little-used areas with a broad selection of used books that most customers may never see.

"I'm very bitter," said John Baronas, an Ellicott City resident who first protested the store in 1997 and fears that pornography spurs sex crimes. "Why, if [Rudolph W.] Giuliani can clean up Times Square, can't we get rid of an eyesore?"

It doesn't say in the article, but I'm pretty sure John is bitter because he doesn't have a brain. To begin with Ellicott City isn't Times Square. It's Ellicott City...In Howard County, MD. One of the richest, crime-free counties in the Baltimore-Washington area. There isn't a rape epidemic, or any crime epidemic in Howard County because of one porno store called The Pack Shack (which incidentally is a great name). In 2007 there were 19 rapes (yet county police only arrested 6 suspects) in the entire county to go along with 4 murders within a county population that is over 270,000. The rape rate is nearly half of what it is for the rest of Maryland, and homicide rate doesn't even come close to the state average.

And just a reminder for John: It's 2008 and we are blessed with computers and the Internet, both of which allow scumbags like myself to stay up until all hours of the morning watching completely free and completely disgusting porn in my very own home. While I'm sure The Pack Shack gives its customers a helluva' selection you could no more stem the flow of pornography into your county by unlawfully closing one porn shop than you could slow the flow of white yuppies in Howard County by closing down one Starbucks.* However, that isn't an argument for closing The Pack Shack; it's a business that follows the law and clearly has a market, and just because some activists and silly county executives don't like it doesn't mean that's a good enough reason to close it.

More here including how the county blew $187,000 in taxpayer money.

*Disclaimer: I own a very small amount of Starbucks stock that like most everything else in my portfolio has lost me a lot of money in the last 3 months.

Libertarian Candidate Spotlight: Sonny Landham

Mr. Landham is running on the LP ticket in Kentucky, targeting Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell. Who is Landham? Well, he's a movie actor who appeared in such films as 48 Hours, Poltergeist and Predator. Before that he appeared in porn movies, something that he now argues is no big deal:

"That was 30 years ago," he said with a laugh. "If you've seen the porno movies, you've seen my shortcomings."

9. He Blogs Less

Fox News -- We Report, You Decide: FOXSexpert: 8 Signs Your Partner is Addicted to Porn:

Many people are completely in the dark that their partner likes porn, much less has a serious relationship with it. Ignorant as to any issue, they trust their lover unconditionally. They assume their partner understands that using porn, at least beyond a magazine like Playboy, is the equivalent of having an actual affair. This ignorance, combined with the great lengths to which a porn enthusiast will go to hide erotica, can leave a partner in the dark for months or even years.

Guys, take a piece of advice from me -- Throw your porn in your girls face. Don't give her a choice. You're a man, a man that likes to watch a rooster get fucked by a German Frau with a strap-on. Don't let her tell you that it's "weird" or "disgusting", or totally "inappropriate" to watch on the train. After all, she'll be gone in a few months, but the German chick and the rooster? They will always be there for you..

Now, on to the "8 Signs that You're a Fat Cow and You're Husband Would Rather Watch Teeny Porn Instead of Fucking You":

2. Your partner lacks interest in sex or is sexually unresponsive.

You’re noticing a decrease in physical affection and non-sexual touch. If you have sex, it’s because you are the one initiating it. Your partner is having trouble becoming sexually aroused (for example, achieving erection or having an orgasm).

Furthermore, your partner needs more and more stimulation to get turned on and release. He has developed a strong interest in sexual practices that seem a little out of left field. No matter what, both of you are feeling largely dissatisfied post-sex.

3. Your partner is being uncharacteristically demanding or rough during sex.

You’re feeling pressured to engage in sexual activities that are either physically or emotionally uncomfortable to you. Your partner is using atypical sexual language. He seems to be objectifying you and he has no qualms about it.

I'd like to know what this Sexpert considers a "little out of left field". Something tells me her left field is around my pitchers mound. Or home plate. Either way, it's interesting that if a guy talks a little dirty to his partner, wants to love her good and hard, and maybe wants a dildo up the ass every other Saturday that he should be considered a candidate for a porn addiction. Because that just sounds like a healthy sex life to me.

More:

7. Your partner is practically wed to the Internet.

He spends an excessive amount of time on the computer, often demanding privacy and/or changing his bedtime ritual. As a result, he has eye problems from spending long hours on the computer. He may also complain of back, wrist, neck or shoulder pain.

Uh..Timeout for a Rob moment here. Sweetie? Yeah...You know how I spend a lot of time on the internet and complain about back and neck pain? That has nothing to do with porn. It's all research for my blog. Political stuff that you just wouldn't get...

In conclusion:

If there is a problem, it will surface sooner or later. Whether a partner finds actual evidence, the user confesses, or somebody else – unintentionally or not – spills the beans, the one who has been wronged finally realizes what she’s dealing with. It is a horrible, powerful experience that rocks one to the core. Stunned, overwhelmed and confused, many do not know what to do. The longer and more intimate the relationship, the harder it is to process this news.

Can I add one more sign that your partner is watching a lot of porn? You're reading FoxNews.com for relationship advice.

A Tax on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Might Do the Same Thing

A California state legislator is calling for a tax on porn:

Democratic Assemblyman Charles Calderon proposed a 25% tax hike on adult entertainment such as strip clubs, DVD's and pay-per-view movies. He says it would help pay for programs related to the effects of the industry like drug use and sexually transmitted diseases.

Yeah, I'm sure none of estimated $700 million the tax will bring in will be diverted to something else. That never happens in politics.

Should the tax actually be enacted, adult entertainment industry spokeswoman Diane Duke (presumably her stage name) says they'll pack up and move:

"Make no mistake. Our industry will leave the state. A 25% multi-use tax on our industry would just be destructive."

Can they do that? Is this the kind of industry that can be done anyplace, without even leaving the hotel room? Help me here people.

Porn Taxes For the Children

A South Carolina politician has proposed a "porn tax." The money will be used -- wait for it -- for the children, so it's all good, see?

State Senator Mike Fair wants to add a 20 percent surcharge on magazines like Playboy and Hustler that show frontal nudity. He says the tax hike would raise $385,000 dollars for the state to pay for tracking devices for sex offenders.

"Just as we're trying to do with cigarettes, we have tried to do and continue to try to do with alcohol, is lets the users of those products pay for some of the consequences that come from that," Fair explained.

It's one tax increase mom's like Virginie Sanders won't argue about.

“I agree with it. I agree with it because we need all the help we can get to keep them away from our kids. It's better than tax payers paying out of their pockets for it.”

'Cause, you know, it's not like any of the people who buy these magazines also pay taxes. It's practically found money.

The Gift That Keeps on Giving

That would be the Eliot Spitzer-hooker story. There is a possibility you have already seen the girl in question naked. Yesterday Joe Francis of Girls Gone Wild revealed that Ashley Alexandra Dupre spent seven days hanging out with his film crew in 2003. According to the AP, Francis had been in talks with her to appear in an upcoming video when one of his people searched their film library and made the discovery:

"It'll save me a million bucks," Francis told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "It's kind of like finding a winning lottery ticket in the cushions of your couch."

Francis said at that point, his offer was off the table.

"We actually had been dealing with her rep," he said. "Our (offer) was the real deal. We just never made the connection."

***

According to a "Girls Gone Wild" press release, Dupre visited Miami in 2003 to celebrate her 18th birthday. After fighting with a friend and getting thrown out of her hotel, Dupre found a nearby "Girls Gone Wild" bus, the company said.

She signed legal papers and spent a full week on the bus, filming seven full-length tapes which included nudity and same-sex encounters, according to the company.

There does appear to be a hitch though. She may not have been eighteen when the tapes were made. Francis, being that class act that he is, will probably release it anyway:

Dupré's lawyer, Don A. Buchwald, immediately took steps to inform Francis that the New Jersey native, her birthday being April 30, 1985, was only 17 when the footage was taken.

But Francis tells E! News he's going ahead with the release anyway, albeit not for at least a few days while his lawyers debate the repercussions.

"We are getting pressure from her lawyer," Francis said at his Santa Monica, Calif., office Wednesday. "As soon as we withdrew the million dollar offer—he is just mad because her price has dropped. Even if she was only 17, we could still release it. There was no sexual contact. There's only nudity."

So, look for pictures of Dupree to start appearing as spam in in your inbox in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

What About My Grandpa's Porn Collection Passed Down From Generation to Generation?

In what can only be described as one of the best 'take that, bitches' moves of the year, Hong Kong free speech advocates battling restrictions against 'indecent' material tried to get the Bible restricted.

Hong Kong's media regulator has rejected calls to reclassify the Bible as an indecent publication following more than 2,000 complaints about its sexual and violent content, including rape and incest.

"The Bible is a religious text which is part of civilization. It has been passed from generation to generation," Hong Kong's Television and Licensing Authority (TELA) said in a statement issued late Thursday.
[...]
The regulator received 2,041 complaints against the Bible this week, following an uproar over a sex column in a student magazine that was classified as "indecent" by authorities for asking if readers had ever fantasized about incest or bestiality.

A Web site launched soon afterwards campaigned to have the Bible similarly classified, citing passages with sexual and violent content it claimed went beyond that of the sex column....Publications classified as indecent in Hong Kong can only be bought by people aged over 18 and must be sealed in a wrapper with a statutory warning notice.

How Not to Convince People: Demonize Their Choices

Which side do I join??

I spend many hours with my favorite lagers, stouts, and ales. I'm well known as the guy who is constantly carrying a tumbler of Jameson (I go Bushmills if with a Catholic crowd; I'm a respectful traveler), stumbling around, calling hipsters cunts and getting punched in the face by English women, American women, my mom, etc.

On the other hand we have pot. Oh pot. Pregnant porn, granny porn, bestiality porn...Would I have found these genres (as quickly) if not for you? Or those times smoking hashish with the Afghani and/or the Pakistani (honestly who knows where those guys are from...all I hear is mountains and I spend the next hour nodding at everything they say). Would have never happened without marijuana. Oh, and I forgot midget porn. And that hole in the locker-room of the H.S. soccer-team that I coached. Well, that doesn't have anything to do with pot. But boy am I glad I found that hole. Am I ever. Did I ever fill it. Ah...the memories

Nick Gillespie highlights the battle, I've blogged about the intellectual stupidity of using the argument...We bring you Modern Drunkard vs. SAFER.

P.S. As I said, I've blogged on this before, so I'll leave the substance for another day, but check out some of the comments at Hit&Run. Too many are cheering on SAFER's propaganda as a fair counter to the Drug Warriors propaganda. Bullshit.

A "Go" For Online Porn, and a Big Day for Freedom

For all of us who love online porn, here is some Constitutional relief

.Senior U.S. District Judge Lowell Reed Jr. also said the Child Online Protection Act fails to address threats that have emerged since the law was written, including online predators on social-networking sites like News Corp.'s MySpace, because it targets only commercial Web publishers.

"Even defendant's own study shows that all but the worst performing (software) filters are far more effective than COPA would be at protecting children from sexually explicit material on the Web," said Reed, who presided over a monthlong trial in the fall.

Cicero's True Identity Revealed

Sorry "Cicero", but the jig is now up. [Emphasis mine]

A registered sex offender arrested Friday in front of Jamestown Elementary School with pornography in his van was released from jail Monday.

[...]

Hill was arrested Friday around 2:30 p.m. after a deputy saw him driving around Jamestown Elementary dressed in a black-and-red marching band uniform. In Hill's blue GMC van, Deputy Brandon Lowry found children's toys, games and a pornographic videotape inside a box marked "Cinderella."

You need only explain why you didn't invite me to come along.

Since Nothing About Porn or Vegas is Ever Subtle, Her Motto is Naturally 'Keeping the SIN in Sin City!'

It's official. Former porn star Mimi Miyagi (nee Melody Damayo) filed papers today as part of her effort to become the next mayor of Sin City, running as a Libertarian. Miyagi placed fourth in the state's most recent Republican gubernatorial primary.

According to here Wiki entry, Miyagi was best known as an actress "for her abilities to take well-endowed men during vaginal and anal scenes, as well as for her exceptionally long tongue and enthusiastic fellatio scenes."

Mimi's for legalizing pot and prostitution, and favors lower taxes. I'd vote for her if I could stand to set foot in Vegas -- nevermind live there. Not that the current mayor is all that bad -- he certainly has his moments.

I find it worth noting that if that boozer Mr. Miyagi was still alive, he'd probably sue poor Mimi.

More photos (some NSFW) of Mimi at her blog here.

Thanks to Sean Higgins, who interviewed Mimi for the National Review in July, for the tip.

Milk and Meat Bad, Meat in Meat Good?

Despite being a Half-Jew, figuring out what is and isn't Kosher is not one of my talents. Seems that even among Jews in the know, though, there's a good deal of debate.

The producer of a new adult DVD showing off the delights of Israeli porn stars has been attacked by a New Jersey Rabbi - for using a kosher stamp on the cover, without permission.

Rabbi Yehuda Rosenbaum, whose company KOF-K Kosher Certification authenticates food including meat, grains and dairy products for the Jewish market, says Oren Cohen has no right using his stamp on Assraelis.
