News

Senator David Vitter may love hookers, but he is also willing to screw native americans. And by that, I am referring to the Vitter Amendment, which would ban the use of federal Indian Health Service funds for abortions. This would join the Hyde Amendment – which currently restricts the rights of low-income women by denying Medicaid and IHS coverage for abortion. Two pro-family guys, Henry Hyde and David Vitter, both with a public history of cheating on their wives. In Hyde’s case, he had an affair for years, which he has publicly admitted to. Oh- Vitter’s amendment is co-sponsored by guess who- John McCain, another pro-family guy well-known for cheating on his wife and with a near perfect record opposing women’s right to choose and access to contraception. SO these are the guys who devote much of their careers telling women what they can do with their bodies. I believe the dictionary definition for that is douchebag

Speaking of McCain, when recently asked about his position on reproductive rights, he told reporters to look at his voting record. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone in the Senate more inhospitable to women’s reproductive rights than John McCain. He consistently votes against abortion and contraception. He voted to end Title X family planning programs, insurance coverage for contraceptives, And while McCain seems to want to ensure that women get pregnant and are forced to give birth, he is not very proactive when it comes to children. The Children’s Defense Fund has him on their list of worst Senators for children. McCain is the picture in the dictionary definition of douche bag.

The constitution is such a nuisance. All that free speech nonsense. And then you have federal courts deciding that things states do are unconstitutional. But Representative Chris Cannon, from Utah, has a better idea. That is why he introduced The Pornography Jurisdiction Limitation Act of 2008. The act would ban federal courts from taking up cases that question whether any states' pornography laws are constitutional. The last thing you want is federal courts interpreting the constitution. Of course we should leave it to state courts. They did such a wonderful job on issues like race, equal access to education and women’s rights.

Just because an egg is fertilized does not mean that you are pregnant. The body sheds fertilized eggs all of the time. Between one-third and one-half of all fertilized eggs never fully implant. That could be a crime if Mike Huckabee has his way. He fully supports Colorado’s “Human Life Amendment” which would redefine a fertilized egg as a person. This constitutional amendment would extend state constitutional protections to every fertilized egg, guaranteeing the right to life, liberty, equality of justice and due process of law. Five other states are also working on similar amendments. Besides allowing a fertilized egg (or someone acting on their behalf) to sue in the case of an attempted abortion, it could also possibly allow lawsuits against birth control methods that create an inhospitable uterine environment. And who’d have thunk it would be Republicans coming up with so much new work for trial lawyers.

We talk a lot about Virginia, because they are one of the most sex negative states in the union. They are at it again. The Virginia Senate just voted to cut off funding for Planned Parenthood because they offer abortion counseling and services. The House has already voted to cut off funding. And they miss the irony that the contraceptive services and education women won’t be able to get will lead to the need for more abortions. Virginia is for lovers- just don’t you dare have sex.

Larry Craig has advertised for an intern on his government Web site. Let me quote from the ad: “Senator looking for bright motivated young person who shares my stances. Must be willing to bend over backwards to get the job done. Interns are paired with staff members based on experience and interests, in order to best utilize their talents.” Okay, I made up the first two sentences.

I live almost exactly at ground zero for the Northridge earthquake, so I understand how devastating earthquakes can be. Now there is finally a way to prevent them. Israeli politician and former Deputy Health Minister Shlomo Benziri recently told a Knesset plenum meeting on earthquake preparedness that there was a simple solution. "Why do earthquakes happen?" said Benizri. "One of the reasons is the things to which the Knesset gives legitimacy, to sodomy. A cost-effective way of averting earthquake damage would be to stop passing legislation on how to encourage homosexual activity in the State of Israel, which anyways causes earthquakes." I am assuming he knows this because the last time he had gay sex the earth moved.

While Obama opposes gay marriage, he strongly supports civil unions with all of the rights of marriage, and I can be fine with that. Personally, I think everyone should have a civil marriage and keep the churches out of it, as least as far as the legalities are concerned. If you want a ceremony in a church fine, but it shouldn’t have the force of law just because a minister is involved. He also speaks out in other ways for the gay community. He not only supports the enactment of the Mathew Shepard law that would add gays to those affected by hate crimes- he says he will put the weight of his administration behind getting the law passed. It has foundered in Congress due to Republican opposition, as if there is any group in America that is more specifically the target of hate crimes right now. He also promises to add gays to the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. He supports the repeal of the idiotically named Defense of Marriage Act, a stand Hillary does not share. He supports the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell in the military. Keep in mind that few groups are more phobic about gays than the black community, which suffers higher rates of AIDs because of their denial that same-sex sex occurs. Given that, making a point to speak out on gay issues is actually pretty courageous, as it would be easier to just ignore the topic for fear of upsetting many in the black community. He also supports age appropriate comprehensive sex education. If he does become the Democratic candidate, he will face an opponent who holds just the opposite view on all of these issues.

Texas needs to get over itself. It wasted little time petitioning the Fifth Circuit Court for a hearing by all the justices of the fifth circuit over its ruling that the Texas ban on sex toys was unconstitutional. The Texas Assistant Solicitor General Bill Davis wrote that the issue involves a constitutional question of exceptional importance. He argues that the so called obscene devices are obscene on their face, and on his face maybe they are, but the Fifth Circuit ruled on sex toys not as obscene devices but more in the realm of such privacy protected products such as condoms and birth control. I don’t think Texas has a winning argument, so I suspect we’ll watch this idiocy go all the way to the Supreme Court. 

High School Sophmores in the Chandler Arizona school district will be subject to even more abuse. It was bad enough that for the last four years their sex education was provided by Catholic Charities, with of course no mention at all of birth control. This is part of a pattern across the country where the curriculum in sex education classes is created by fundamentalist and Catholic anti-sex groups. It is also part of a pattern across the country where sex education is provided by instructors not properly trained to teach the topic. A recent Illinois study published in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology found that thirty percent of the sex education instructors had no training in the subject- I suspect in other states it is even higher. So in the Chandler schools the kids heads are filled with the horrors of actually having sex. Now they are being taught about the horrors of pornography- how it will destroy their relationships and make then hate women. They will be terrified to actually have sex, and now they will be terrified to watch porn and masturbate to get off. On the bright side, these sexually frustrated teens will be perfect for the military, where they can sublimate their sex drives by killing America’s enemies.

Entertainment

Apparently twin male porn stars Keyontyli and Taleon Goffney have only watched porn on their televisions, and never any actual shows. If they had, they might have learned that if twins want to get away with a crime, only one of them commits it. Then, if there are cameras or witnesses, both can claim that the other one is the evil twin. Unfortunately, it turns out that both of them were the evil twin. Stars of online hardcore gay porn films, they were apparently involved in a series of burglaries in Philadelphia. Their M.O. was to break in through the roof- and for one of the break-ins there were witnesses- who saw both of them. I can’t wait to hear the cross by the defense- “Are you absolutely sure the two identical men you saw on the rooftop were these two identical men.”

In the wake of proposed  fines against ABC for showing of a bare bottom on NYPD Blue years ago, the Parents Television Council has filed a complaint with the FTC over a February 14th showing of Las Vegas. In the show, several women streak through the casino as part of a plot to take over security, which is busily watching the streakers on the security cameras, which is most of what we see. Artfully shot to expose pretty much nothing, it is hard to see what has the PTC’s panties in a budge. But I suspect that PTC President Tim Winter’s panties are always budged up.

The Catholic Church is just not going to take this standing up- and by that, I mean sex standing up. The Church in Italy has harshly condemned the new film by Antonello Grimaldi titled Quiet Chaos. They call the sex scene in it vulgar and destructive. "The two actors make love standing, with their clothes on, without looking at each other," complained Nicolo Anselmi, a priest in charge of the youth ministry for the Italian Bishops' Conference. He wanted the scene to be more romantic, perhaps even resulting in the birth of a child. Which would make it a film about unwanted pregnancy, not about a man dealing with the death of his wife and his relationship with his daughter. Instead of telling others how they should make their films, maybe the Church just needs to start its own movie company. Based on their frequently stated ideas about how movies should be made, I suspect over the long run they’d lose more money than they did on their child fucking activities.

Can lingerie be too sexy? Victoria’s Secret CEO thinks so. Sharen Turney said recently that the brand has become too sexy. She wants to go with ultra-feminine instead. Speaking as a man, what the hell is she talking about? Oh honey, you look so fucking ultra-feminine in that lacy bra and silk shorts. 

And in who is getting naked now, how about Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson in an erotic lesbian scene? Works for me too. The scene has been described as shocking and erotic. The women later have a three way for Javier Bardem, who plays Cruz’s husband. And the director bringing us this edgy erotic content with top talent? Woody Allen? It is in his upcoming Vicky Cristina Barcelona.

In America, when sex photos of you get released supposedly against your wishes, it can jumpstart your career or, as in the case of Kim Kardashian, even start your career. All you need to start is just a smidgen of fame. It is not the same in China though. Pop icon, singer, and actor Edison Chen found that out the hard way. He took his laptop in for repairs, and it turns out he is the Chinese Bob Crane. Someone in the repair shop found hundreds of photos, many of them explicit, featuring 7 different Hong Kong starlets, with quite a few of them involving blow jobs with Edison. That someone then released them over time to the Internet, where they still remain, much to the frustration of Chinese authorities who want to stop this whole thing by any means possible. The scandal ruined Edison’s career, and he fled to the U.S. It also destroyed the careers of the seven women.  My suggestion is for Edison to stay in the U.S., where he has already appeared in minor rules in a few U.S. movies. He should probably bring over the women as well. I figure they are entitled to their own reality series. 

By the way, Edison’s career could have been saved if he were an Erotic University student. The Virtual Campus includes a class on protecting your privacy on your computer, and even includes software make invisible encrypted partitions on your hard drivefor storing your naughty pictures that only you can access.

And, in the latest movies featuring sex and nudity, all of our selections are coming out now on DVD, which can be better because they often have more nudity and sex than the original theatrical release.  IN WITH THIEVES is about a burglary crew from the streets, a Cuban cartel deep into voodoo, ruthless Albanian gangsters, and a blood diamond deal that erupts into deadly violence. None of that is all that interesting to me, but they do have some lovely breasts in the film, including those of Anita Champion. Also on screen distracting us from the violence with their lovely breasts are Jackeline Olivier, Jennifer Day, and Nikoe Sasaki.

The Inner Life of Martin Frost is intended to get us to think about the nature of reality. That should be clear right off when the title character wakes up in bed in the country house he borrows next to a beautiful young woman he does not know. It then appears that somehow the narrative flow of the novel he is writing also has an impact on her. Acting as his muse, I can certainly see how Irene Jacob could be inspiring.

Experiment is a film from 2005 just out now on DVD. Experiment Its the story of a man and a woman wandering a strange city with no idea who they are or how they got there, only to find out they are the subjects of a nightmarish game. Most of the games I can think of with co-star Molly Ewins are not nightmarish at all.

Olivia Williams is Lady Anne in the British film to Kill a King. Sure, the main story is about the muted love in the tempestuous relationship Lord General Thomas Fairfax (Dougray Scott) and his loyal but ruthless deputy Oliver Cromwell (Tim Roth), but the unmated love with Lady Anne is pretty easy on the eyes.

Of course, if you want unbridled nudity in your movies, you have to rent the foreign films. Case in point, the just put on DVD EN La Cama. This unrated film about a couple of strangers who meet at a party and fall into bed together, features star Blanca lewin showing far more of the naughty bits than American actresses generally do

Comic books have been successful fodder for mainstream moviemaking. They have made quite a bit of money. But can an adult comic make the same successful transition to the porn screen? We’ll have to see, with the upcoming release of Demi the Demoness. The movie stars Ellie Idol as Demi the Demoness, Sinn Sage as Vampirooni and Audrey Elson as Lyssa the Witch, with a script written by the comic creator. Demi the Demonaess is one of the longest running U.S. adult comic characters, with over 30 books and comics. I think I’ll wait for the Spiderman vs. Demi flick.

Its been a weird quirk of the adult industry that any porn film described as interracial typically meant black men with white women. Highly respected director Axel Braun decided to go in the opposite direction with his new interracial title, Afrodiziac. Marie Luv, Stacy Adams, Jayden Simone, Angel Eyes and Vanessa Monet pair up with some very lucky white guys. It comes from Tera Patricks Teravision studio. I just hope none of the white guys do that I may be white but I am so into black culture thing to impress the ladies. White men can bump, they just can’t get jiggy.

With the huge success of sci-fi porn film Upload from Sexz pictures, we should not be surprised that other sci-fi porn films would be coming out. The latest is Sin City’s No Escape, directed by Louis Deville. It stars Cody Milo, Jenna Presley, Jenaveve Jolie, Tiffany Taylor, Sophia, and Shy Love.       According to the director an unsuspecting young man becomes an innocent pawn duped into revealing all his darkest secrets all while being satisfied in a virtual wonderland of sexual fulfillment beyond his wildest imagination. And no, its not about Tom Cruise hooked up to an e-meter at a Scientology gay orgy.

It is very unusual for a well-known male performer in straight porn to make a bisexual movie, but that is what Kurt Lockwood has done for Hancock Studios. He’s done a strap-on video with Sandra Romain, and a tranny video with Yasmin Lee, but I think he looks a little nervous in the official pic for the film. I mean, the guy on his left, Evan Gray looks like he could break him in half, and the girl on his right, India Summer also looks nervous. It is a first bi threesome experience for all of them. And since it seems like every bisexual movie has to have a bi pun in the title, I hope they found the scene satisbying, exbiting, exhilirbiating. Okay, those don’t really work, but they’ve already used up all the others. That’s all the porn news- bi for now.

Whacko

I mentioned in our news round-up about Tim Winter, head of the Parents Television Council, and his attempt to go after NBC for airing an episode of Las Vegas. In fact, his PTC is the primary source of complaints to the FCC. He is essentially at war with the entertainment industry.

Here is an interesting quote: ““Programmers now know that a lot of these problems can be avoided if they just wait until 10 o'clock to broadcast objectionable material.” SO, when was the Las Vegas episode aired? 10 O’clock. And might the fact that he is a former NBC executive have anything to do with his animosity towards them, or to television in general? This is the guy who wants to tell us what should be on television. Keep in mind how respected network executives are by the creative community.

Winter craps his pants over any word that slips onto the airwaves that he does not find pristine enough for his delicate little pink ears. And then he organizes his posse, in the form of members of his group, to petition the government, or in this case, the FCC. He wants to punish those who offended his dear little ears- or in some cases, as with Las Vegas, his delicate little eyes. What those eyes actually saw wasn’t much, but they thought they saw much- thanks to the darkness of his imagination, fueled by constantly thinking about every little thing that might offend him.

The PTC is the classic censor, its site filled with censor porn- meticulously detailed accounts of every episode of a show that offends them, describing in detail each incident they so carefully watched. They have five full time analysts who watch every second of primetime on the networks, and a lot on cable, writing everything they find indecent down. One of those analysts, and I kid not, is actually named Kristine Looney. Their Entertainment Tracking System logs over 100,000 hours of television. As Tm Winter points out, the ETS logs every incident of sexual content, violence, profanity, disrespect for authority and other negative content. Or what in their tiny little world amounts to negative content. And they don’t like any of it, not one bit.

And it wouldn’t be so bad that the PTC generates all of those complaints to the FCC, except that the FCC is run by its own whacko who is strongly pro-censorship and even wants to regulate cable and satellite premium channels- something else also on Winter’s agenda. This month’s whacko of the week gets listened to in Washington. The FCC even invited them to join the FCCs Consumer Advisory Committee.  No one organization should be able to so strongly influence policy, but this one does. And this despite the fact that what they primarily generate to the FCC in terms of complaints is multiple submissions from the same people and form letters. For example, a Freedom of Information request about the 159 complaints to the FCC about the television show Married in America revealed that they actually came from just 23 people. And this is the show that the FCC levied one of their highest fines against.

The PTC claims to have a membership of over a million, but only 125,000 on their email list. Those quarter of a million technophobes without email probably shouldn’t be the ones trying to tell the rest of us actually engaged in the modern world what is decent and what isn’t. And I take real issues with their focus on respect for authority under a current administration that is out of control, ignores the constitution, and absolutely does not deserve our respect but our unending questioning.

Winter wants to clean up television, as their slogan on the site says, “Because our children are watching.” Here is a great idea. Be a parent and don’t let them watch. I am one hundred percent for less television for kids. They have much better things to do than watch tv. Stop letting it be a babysitter and exercise some actual parenting.  I read their list of seal of approval shows, the shows that they frankly would prefer television be limited to, and there is almost never a show on that list that I would want to watch. When Reba makes the list, I am so out.

Of course, one of those alternative activities better not be video games, according to Winters. Upon hearing that the gaming industry would be forming its own PAC, Winters said “Any public servant who cashes a check from the video game industry will be exposed by the PTC as taking a stand against families.” That’s right- the video game industry is anti-family. And in a way it is true, as the guys who spend all their time playing video games are less likely to breed.

Sexvestigation

Sure, I enjoy making fun of Paris Hilton as much as the next person, but if she were a guy doing basically the same things, I don’t think that everyone would come down so hard on her. She is, after all, very open about her sexuality, and that creates a backlash. Just like our heritage that placed great value on virginity, we don’t want our women celebrities to have a sexual history. And when they do, it becomes an issue.

The perfect example of this is Diablo Cody. She just won an Oscar for her Juno script. But she has a dark and dirty not so secret past. She was once a stripper. And sure, the bikini clad stripper tattoo on her arm is a reminder of her past, but how appropriate is it for the New York Post to publish a picture of her showing the Tattoo with the headline, “Whose Tat Girl?”  Out of three words, only one is not degrading.

Of course, women are some of women’s worst enemies in this regard. Take the unbelievably catty article on the Huffington post by Julie Klausner, who bemoans Cody’s win in a field of nomiees notable for the unusual number of women.  Her lead was: “I'll bet Tamara Jenkins feels dumb. The Oscar-nominated screenwriter responsible for The Savages must feel like she wasted all that time learning how to write, when she could've been stripping.” Never mind that Cody was a writer before she was a stripper.

A number of sites have been posting what they refer to as scandalous topless pictures of her. I greatly admire her response. Writing on her Myspace page, she said “ Did you guys hear about the pictures I voluntarily posted on the Internet myself? What a tantalizing scoop. Seriously, I only thought nudity was only a scandal if the photos were leaked by some crumb-bum rat or vengeful ex. "They can dress me up, they can give me awards, they can coach me on the right responses, and they can sand the callouses off my giant fucking feet, but I will always be me. And I will never be ashamed."

Amen. I have seen the pictures and she is absolutely lovely in them. She has every right to be proud of her past, and yes, proud of her body. There is no shame in showing it off. As we chronicle each week, a lot of actresses do the same as well as a number of particularly brave actors. 

There is one way to get past your past. You have to denounce it. Write a tell all book about how horrible it all was, and maybe you can have a mainstream career. That is what Linda Lovelace did to try and redeem herself. That is what Traci Lords did. A porn star stands little enough chance of merging into mainstream, but the accepted wisdom is that to even try you first have to denounce your past.

Diablo Cody refuses to take that path, and now she has a fast moving career with endless possibilities. It clearly won’t be brought down by a sex scandal, as she is already out in the open. And yes, women can have brains and fabulous bodies. That’s my favorite type.

In interviews she is bright, articulate, sex positive, and absolutely unashamed of her experiences as a stripper. She admits she had a lot of fun with it. And now she is a big success. Expect continuing backlash.
