Mike,

Can you help explain for us new girls the difference between the RT-PCR/ PCR DNA and the ELISA test? I understand there is a big difference in price. I did not think that AIM offered the ELISA test. Can you recommend other places besides AIM to get tested?

Thank you for your knowledge on this subject.

Aphrodite

Yes I can. The Viral load tests measure the amount of virus in a blood sample by one of two methods. The first, the PCR is a process by which the RNA is chemically treated to cause it to replicate itself, the idea is to induce replication to a high level, then measure that level knowing that the replication factor is a constant. This is called an indirect test because it indirectly measures the amount of RNA in the sample.

The second called bDNA, this is a direct measurement of the RNA. The sample is treated to induce the RNA to lumenesce or “glow” the amount of light given off indicates how much virus is present.

The problem with these tests is that they are only accurate to about forty parts per million, below that point the virus is undetectable. Someone who has HIV and has been on protease inhibitor drugs can fall well below this level and the tests determine them to be HIV Negative which they clearly are not. They are also most certainly still capable of passing on the virus to someone else.

The ELISA test tests for antibodies to the virus to be present in your system, even though you may show no signs of illness 95% of all people will develope antibodies to HIV within 3 weeks of exposure. This “window period” is in reality no worse than that of the PCR tests, and may even prove better in some cases.

I am surprised that AIM would not offer the ELISA test if you requested it, specially since it is the ONLY HIV test that is recognized by either the CDC or the AIDS Foundation as a valid HIV Screen. PCR and bDNA testing are emphatically stated as NOT to be used as an HIV screen.

No matter which test you get if it turns up positive you are given a series of “Western Blot” tests. These are antibody tests that are highly specific and positive indications are the confirmation that someone is HIV positive.

You should be able to get an ELISA test almost anyplace, look in the yellow pages under medical testing labs or pathology labs. the test can range from free at the county testing facilities to 65 dollars at the higher priced ones. 25 to 30 dollars should be what you pay for next day results.

Some companies and performers have been mislead by AIM so make sure that the person you are going to work with knows that you have not been tested by AIM, but have tests from a certified independant lab. I only accept an ELISA test but some in porn valley may only accept a PCR test, until they have been educated to the facts.

If you have any other questions, comments or suggestions please ask. Thanks!

I talked to Vicky Vette in Person Last Night.

Here is the bottom line, yes she was forcibly raped. Yes it was an Anabolic set, the director was Sal and the guy who held her down was John Strong. She wasn’t going to tell anyone and just chalk it up to experience but she had to cancel shoots after having to recieve medical attention, so word got out. She couldn’t have sex for 2 weeks. She has a clear civil action here but she will not pursue it, she just learned from the experience and that’s the end of it.

Some Advice Ladies:

I am often asked to advise girls about the business. I am going to give you some advice you won’t hear anyplace else so pay attention because this is the most valuable advice you will ever recieve in this business.

Before you go to a set do the following:

1. Talk to the Director, period. Not your so called agent. If you can’t talk directly with the director don’t shoot with him.

2. Ask him EXACTLY what it is that is expected of you and EXACTLY when you will be paid and how.

3. Repeat it back to him.

This way there is no Bullshit, he can’t say he thought you knew it was an anal scene, or he thought you knew it whatever.

Some Advice for the growing Number of “Agents” and “Managers”:

You can be one or the other, you cannot be both, that is a violation of California Law. If you charge the director a fee you cannot also take a percentage from the actress. If you take a percentage from the actress you cannot charge the director, are you paying attention Derrek?

And Finally, Ladies:

If anyone abuses you on a set or demands sex for a part in his movie (That includess you Jonathon Morgan and you Nic Andrews) I want to hear about it. if you like I will preserve your anonymity but it is high time we exposed some of these scumbags and I don’t mind being the one to do it.

Mike,
If the case is that AIM is truly not helping the adult industry be safe, then we are ALL at risk. We are ALL operating at same level as all other active nymphs of the world. I do not believe that Condom Only, bullshit will save anyone, either! It is a fact that you can get Herpes Simplex 1 &/or 2 WITHOUT visibly seeing an outbreak on the carrier.Therefore, oral is ALWAYS a 50/50 risk. Considering so many within the industry already have it. I believe that careless behavior is what we need to be discouraging. The decision to perform in adult films should be a one that is monogamous to the industry. We are here to have fun and be safe together.

I certainly agree that respomsibility should be first and foremost in everyone’s mind in this business but guess what? When you are dealing company owners who would gladly kill a girl if it would make them a dollar and a cesspool of misogynists parading as directors you aren’t really in an environment conducive to nurturing personal responsibility. The risk of STDs now are pretty much secondary, the risk of bodily injury and a hospital stay are MUCH more likely.

XXX Writes:

Dear Mister Bukkake…

Thank you very much for posting the recent letter from JKP head honcho Bob Friedland to his contract performers at Jill Kelly Productions. Had it not been for your generous cutting and pasting of this letter from some barely-visited Yahoo! group, we might have missed a truly bizarre peek into the inner workings of the modern porno biz.
I just spent twenty minutes struggling through Friedland’s Alzheimers-induced maze of gross misspellings, bizarre grammatical constructions, and tortured syntax, and I believe I’ve been able to decipher exactly what it is he is trying to say.
JKP contract girls:
DO sign your posters. Please. Pretty please with sugar on it.
DO start minding your P’s and Q’s.
DO make every attempt to show up at all events, especially important ones like meet-and-greets with fans, and late night dinner dates/business meetings (especially the overnight ones with Old Man Friedland).
DO come up with semi-believable excuses as to why you can’t show up for a single scheduled appearance — remember girls, Jason Seachrest is no longer on board, so we have no one left to come up with creative excuses for you.
DO NOT expect to ever receive any residuals for your films, any fair compensation for your work, or any type of insurance, etc…regardless of what you might hear from people.
DO NOT take your contract to any lawyer or person of the legal persuasion to be reviewed before you sign it. After all, they don’t love you like JKP does.
Please DO remember that six years of your adult career is not too much for us to ask — think of the company, after all, and stop being so selfish.
DO NOT mention the names Cynara Fox, Star E. Knight, Devon, Tabitha Stevens, or Jewel De Nyle to anyone, ever again.
DO NOT, under any circumstances, get old.
Thank you.

Here is the background. A neighbor of a gay couple (males) in Texas didn’t much like his gay neighbors. He waited until they started having sex and he called the police and said that a man was going crazy next door. The cops come, burst into the residence and catch the gay couple in an act of anal sex (defined as sodomy by Texas Law) The gay males are arrested and charged with Sodomy. This case made it all the way to the Supreme Court.

Texas law defined sodomy as either anal or oral sex between members of the SAME sex. 4 or 5 other states had similar laws and 13 states had laws defining sodomy as encompassing members of the opposite sex as well.

Today’s Supreme Court ruling struck down all of these sodomy laws.

Judge Scalia commented that the Supreme Court had “signed on to the homosexual agenda”. Well Judge Scalia, if the homosexual agenda would prevent the government from dictating what consenting adults can do in the privacy of their own home then sign me up.

Today is a great day in America, the good guys won one!

Is this porns’ next superstar? Could be, she has the look, She has a good attitude, she has yet to get a big head. I have personal experience with Jesse (no not THAT personal) and I believe she actually likes sex, unlike the last DP superstar. Word is that Jesse did a great job manning the DP booth at Erotica LA. Devon wasn’t present at any time during the show and Jesse worked all day everyday with no breaks to keep the fans happy. Jesse is the only girl in porn that I would work with on anyones set other than my own and one of only a VERY few that I’d work with at all. Oddly enough guy in her first boy/girl scene couldn’t get wood….Go Figure…

Tera’s Tits:

Ok well now they are only hers because she paid for them, but they got a lot of play last week cuz she whipped em out on the KSEX Show she hosts. My opinion is worth what it’s costing ya but I think the new ones look ridiculous, they are too big for her body and they are too far apart, she looks like every other porn bimbo with big fake tits now, she once had great ones…what a shame.

In other Tera news her lines were reportedly long at Erotica LA and she was always shadowed by Evan, who delighted in counting her money for her. What she is going to do in porn in the future is anyones guess. My guess is not much.

Rick, who chastised me last week had this to say to my Response:

That’s why I love you man. You always surprise me. I never would’ve thought you’d printed my letter. Not only did you, but it’s unedited.
You’re kick ass Mike South! Keep up the free “intelligent” speech!

Thanks Brother! I never edit something someone sends me when I post it here except to delete a last name or something. Whether you or I like Tera and Evan the fact is that they are newsworthy so I ain’t gonna just ignore em…yet.

Maynard Jackson is Dead, Good:

This is a local issue but it deserves its proper disrespect here. Maynard Jackson was the Mayor of Atlanta for many years, he was a scumbag and a crook. To paraphrase Mark Twain, I will not attend his funeral, but I will send a letter stating that I approve of it.

Taking Aim at AIM.

AIM is under intense fire from people in the industry, it seems that some of what I have been writing here, has in fact, been noticed. I am not ignoring this issue as you will see in time. There is something pretty big on the horizon and I think I will play a big part in it.

I spent Most of Last Week in Mexico Beach:

Nothing was different EXCEPT this time Trixie Kelly joined me there. I like Trixie, she is pretty and sweet and a lot of fun to just hang out with, we even went to see “Finding Nemo” pretty cool…Thanks Trixie, Yer the best baby!

My Pal Devon Michaels is gonna do her first interracial scene tomorrow:

With Sean Michaels.

And Finally Tim Case Contacted Me Today:

He wants a necrophiliac on his KSEX show tomorrow night. I was wondering why he’d cal me for this, but I quickly suggested that he call Evan Seinfeld…Hey I have seen Tera fuck…..

I like what you wrote. you are right about me looking to you for this since you are the first person to notice that AIM is not doing their job and the first to speak up about it. Sorry i didn’t get back to you sooner but i was on set all day. I also wanted to let you know so maybe you can clear it up, I read on another site that Lee Stone totalled his bike and broke his collar bone, that is not true. He was on set with me today and he could still fuck like a champ. He was in an accident but the damage was not as severe as that. Just wanted to let you know. anyway, keep up the investigation. I think I need to go to Mike South’s annonymous, because I am now officially addicted to your website.

Love, Mary

Thanks Mary, and thanks for the heads up on Lee Stone, glad he isn’t hurt, and I am thrilled to have you as an “addicted reader”

The South Clinic?

I was going through my email today and I had one from Mary Carey who suggested that I should open a clinic because she would feel much safer if I were in charge of a testing proceedure.

As much as I appreciate that compliment, and it is one, that is not a cross I wish to bear. I do not want anyone to look to me as a good example or a role model. The truth is I am very Libertarian in my approach to this issue. First let me state emphatically that I am just as much against any type of mandatory testing as I am against not allowing tests at all. Personally I leave it up to the individuals involved, for example if I shot Jon and Tabitha Stern I would ask them if they want each other to be tested, if they say no that isnt necessary that is 100% fine with me. The decision was theirs and the responsibility for that decision lies with them.

But Mary illustrates a point that is very pertinent. She is looking to me for guidance because I have educated myself on this subject and I am explaining it to her in terms that she understands. I reference my sources and I do the best that I can to give the most up to date and accurate information.

My point here is that I do not believe that AIM is doing it’s job. I believe that performers, like Mary who do not want to have to decypher the info from the CDC look to AIM to provide them with accurate and up to date information. They are looking to AIM to know enough about the issue to keep everyone safe. I do not feel that AIM is fulfilling its’ obligation in this respect. I welcome anyone to prove me wrong but all of my research tells me that the RT-PCR (The official name of the PCR DNA test) is vastly inferior to the much less expensive ELISA test. I can go into details about how the RT-PCR test is not really a DNA test at all but what is called an indirect RNA Test. But the bottom line is this: the test can very easily produce a false negative. someone who has been infected with HIV for many years can test negative on this test. they would NOT test negative on the ELISA test. Add to that the RT-PCR test costs 85 dollars at AIM and the ELISA can be gotten most anyplace for 25 dollars and it simply makes no sense unless your job is to generate revenue by selling the RT-PCR Test.

I do not wish to be held forth as some crusader for safe sex, I am not, Sex just like driving and eating and anything else you do carries a degree of risk associated with it. When you understand that risk and make appropriate decisions based on your understanding that’s fine by me.

What I am crusading for is honesty on behalf of the people who hold themselves out as protectors of those in our industry, if you can’t be honest then the only people AIM is protrecting is AIM.

Check Your Dead Pool:

If you had Maynard Jackson, Lester Maddox and Strom Thurmond you won. Damn old Strom died…that fucker outlasted two former Miss South Carolinas (he was married to them) I figured he’d even outlast me. Like his politics or not you gotta admire the guy for hangin in there. There will probably never be an older Senator.

Mike,

A couple of things…

On the Vicky Vette situation. Any time a porn girl gets roughed up to raped, there’s a big stink. The first thing that happens is those on the other side of the studio go on a full on assault, undermining the claims, the girl’s credibility. Talk of action always turns to “live and learn” and “it was my fault for being in that position”. Personal responsibility is great, but in these cases it’s misguided. All it allows is for the same low-lifes to assault and rape the next girl. But, it always plays out the same way. Isn’t that odd?

On Mark Kernes. Mark, when you write about the enemies of the industry *within* the industry as well as you do those outside the industry, that will truly be something. I won’t hold my breath. You are capable, your writings about why you were against the War sent to this site were eloquent.

Directing them to the police?. Oh, please, I know of three women in porn who went to the police and went as far as filing complaints only to have nothing happen. The complaints got “lost” and the treatment they received at the hands of the police was terrible. The biggest problem in getting rid of the scum in porn *is* the L.A. police department and politicians.

AIM is a joke. One of these days someone will finally get to the bottom of who is pulling Ms. Mitchell’s strings. Could the long time proximity to a certain agent’s office be a clue?

And Mike, L.A. County does have it’s own Health Department, but if they’ve decided to put it completely in AIM’s hands, doesn’t that say enough?

I think a lot of people have been sold a bill of goods by AIM, and I think that is going to come out. I don’t think for instance, that AVN really knows and has researched the whole testing thing, they simply trust Sharon, misguided as that may be.

As for Jim South, I don’t think there is any love lost between Jim South and AIM as you will see in a coming update. I am sitting on a helluva story, but I can’t run with it until I have done some more checking and sorted out the facts…stay tuned, this could be big.

Opening scene has Mike South swimming in ocean and Mike’s contract star, Tim Case and 4 sexy gals on a boat. Felicia Fox smokes a cigarette in an unique manner. Cori Love joins them and does another unique thing with her beer bottle. Jaz & Mike. Mike interviews a brunette with large left breast tattoo and she doesn’t give her name. Mike says, ‘Okay, you suck on camera’. And, she does! Mike gets BJ on camera. No hands BJ. Mike returns the favor and eats her out with super close ups. No hands BJ. Screwing on the deck on her back, on her back with good top down view, on her back. Mike strokes off on her face. Giggles. BJ cleanoff.

Cori & Fiona. In Dayton in room in front of fireplace. Interview, Fiona is from Cincinnati. Cori talks about doing the Bill Cunningham radio talk show. Really funny how she describes his looks. (I happened to listen to this very show and she describes him perfectly). Serenity & Steve gave Cori the aduldt toys to be used in this video and Cori thanks them. They kiss. They talk some more and then they get into it. Kiss. Kiss on the neck. Undressing. Topless. Titty sucking by each. Kissing. Fiona eats Cori, licks her clit with butterfly strokes, fingers her. Cori eats Fiona & licks her clit, fingers her. Fiona with her head doun and ass up as Cori eats her & rims her and then uses strap-on dildo to screw her. ‘F..k my pussy’. Vib egg used at the same time underneath as Fiona begs for more. Cori uses the strap-on dildo to screw Fiona
as she sits on it in reverse cowgirl position and plays with clit at the same time. Both front and rear views of the screwing is shown. Fiona now uses the strap-on dildo to screw Cori in the doggy position. Fiona lays on her back as Cori climbs on top & rides the strap-on dildo. Super close ups of the in & out action and then of Cori & Fiona’s faces as they kiss while going at it. This is one very sexy and senuous les scene!

Delaney. Streaked hair sexy gal is posing for still pictures outdoors for Mike with this super sexy voice gal saying, ‘F..k me, you can do what ever you want to me’, that is a real turn on. Sexy posing and more sexy talking. In room. Mike interviews Delaney. Interesting story how they met. She is wearing glasses as they are standing and kissing. On sofa. BJ. Butterfly BJ. No hands BJ. She lifts her dress and we can see a clit ring and no panties. No hands BJ. Mike fingers her and then 4 fingers her. Looks to me that he might just be fisting her (but blocks the view with his shoulder on purpose). Mike eats her out and she really likes it. ‘Eat that pussy, come on’. Topless. Screwing reverse cowgirl with skirt around her waist, cowgirl riding as she solo fingers her ass. Minus glasses as she screws Mike in reverse cowgirl position. ‘Nice fat cock’. Screwing rev cowgirl & clit solo. On her back as Mike strokes off all over her face. Lots of cum. BJ clean off.

Exit interview.

One thing I have always admired about Den is that his reviews are not only comprehensive but they are very even. Even when I thought I deserved better Den is unarguably honest. There is absolutely no doubt that this is the most up to date reviews anywhere, Den reviews and posts every movie that comes out usually on the day it hits the streets. I’m glad he liked this one!

check out his review site at www.cavr.com its free and there is nothing else anywhere that even comes close.

I usually endorse everything you say. But tonight, you’ve stepped over my line. And that’s hard to do. I know you and adella are secret lovers but jesus christ, tera’s show was actually GOOD tonight. I listened about a dozen times at DP and it sucked. Because of her? No! Because of the shitty ass format of “Lets Make a Diva” that they do.

You recommend DEVON? Are you serious? Yes she’s hot. But she’s the kind of hot Jeff Dahmer would enjoy killing so her bitch ass would shut the fuck up for once.

Evan…I was on your side for a while,especially when I read his responses BUT he was awesome on air tonight. Very funny and a good compliment to her.

Bottom line…get on board with a winner. Ksex kicked DPs ass by standing behind Tera, then kicked MORE ass by bringing a very good show to the airwaves…much better then any show I’ve ever heard with DP.

Sean Michaels didn’t show up, ok fine. But a JKP girl did. Report that. That’s HUGE.

You call yourself a ksex fan but you turn so quickly AND without even hearing it.

BTW….her new tits? They don’t look FAKE at all. In fact, they look the same only slightly bigger. Still adorable and she was great. Just wanted to say my thoughts.

I don’t expect to read this on MikeSouth but I still will read the site.

Ricky

Dude, I didn’t and wouldn’t say it sucked…I didn’t hear it so I dunno. I would agree that it couldn’t be much worse than her past one.

But hey If I kiss Tera’s ass how disingenuous would that be? Besides I ain’t taking sides in this I just speak whatevefr is on my mind at a given moment and honstly I’d be really worried if all of y’all always agreed with me. The JKP girl showing up IS big news…yer right there…JKP girls almost always flake but then this one really doesn’t. Alexis is pretty responsible.

I don’t like fake tits and I LOVE it when people disagree with me so yer email is here intact! I always invite constructive criticism.

And Wankus knows I love his big dumb bald ass….

Thanks for writing man…seriously…without y’all I’d be even more boring.

I regret that I am on dialup down here in Florida and really couldnt call in,which is just as well cuz I don’t thin either of them much likes me, I am sure that the audience was big by internet radio standardsand I am sure it’s cuz they all wanted to see the spectacle…kinda like the new monky at the primate house in the zoo. I could havre asked her about Tom Byron, Randy Spears and a half dozen other guys she had as boyfriends while in the biz, I am sure that would have tweaked Evan up to the point of combustion. I am sure I could have added some drama to that little freak show and as much fun as I have being a part of the show it’s prolly just as well that I am down here fishing….Something I prefer anyhow.

And I am not the only one who didn’t show, the main guest was Sean Michaels and he decided he had better things to do as well. He didn’t even call and cancel either….well now Tera has an inkling of how it feels I suppose.

While we are on the subject of Tera there is wide speculation that LFP is interested in her in a contractual capacity. This is because she was seen leaving the LFP building a few weeks ago. Hell I left Tyndall Airforce Base Today….I don’t think that makes me an airforce pilot (They train pilots at Tyndall). I also left Emory Eye Clinic last week ( I took my mother there) but I don’t think anyone is saying I am a Retinologist or whatever you call a retina specialist.

Truth is I don’t see it for Tera. LFP doesn’t strike me as the type of company that would be interested in a primadonna type with a very volatile boyfriend. Not to mention Tera’s parameters aren’t exactly wide, as we in the biz say. I doubt Evan would hold still for her working with other guys and I don’t see LFP interested in her for her thespian abilities.

There are way prettier girls in porn than Tera anyhow…Devon comes to mind, so does Jesse Jane and Stormy Waters, not to mention a good 20 others. And the one thing Tera had (nice tits) are now big and fake. Someone needs to clue her that real is “in”

OK I’m out for now….more after I catcha few fish.

Pleasure has quietly purchased a lot of old porn, like Western Visuals, Al Borda (hope they didnt pay much for his shit) and now a source inside Pleasure/IVD informs nme that they purchased everything belonging to SMP, Thats Sean Michaels Productions. Sean will no longer be shooting for SMP but for Pleasure.

Couldn’t fish today…raining offshore

The companies that have decided to only accept test results from AIM Healthcare includes LFP, Vivid, Wicked Pictures, VCA, Red Light District, Elegant Angel, Video Team, Anabolic, Platinum X, Lucky Star Productions, Tabitha Yang Management, and Jet Set Productions

I just have one question: Have you peeople lost your fucking minds? You are just asking to be a party to a civil suit and possibly even criminal charges.

Mark Kernes Pipes In:

<< Mark Kernes was banned from the “Impact America Conference”:

What can I tell ya, Mike? When I got my e-mail from Citizens for Community Values (CCV), announcing a big conference, I just had to go; know what I mean? So I asked Fish and Connelly if I could — I HAVE been here long enough that I can suggest such “assignments” — and they were all for it, since they know they’ll get a juicy story or two out of it.

Oh I agree that you have done great stories on these things in the past…no doubt about it

I doubt it’s escaped your attention that your buds in the Bush administration are, at least in the long run, out to close down Porn Valley and whatever section of Atlanta you call your own, and put us all in jail for the rest of our lives (which event — our deaths — they hope will come earlier for porn people than for the rest of the population), so I think it behooves the savvy porn individual to find out what they’re saying these days.

Come Mark, you know damn well I didn’t vote for that guy, The guy I voted for earned my vote, he didn’t get it just cuz I didn’t like the other guy more than I didn’t like him. I’m Libertarian, while I do have buddies in the federal government many are Democrats as well as a few Republicans. I may be Libertarian but I am also a realist, I gotta deal with whoever is there.

If you’ve been keeping up with my news stories, you know that Ashcroft held a big conference about a year ago in South Carolina for all the Assistant U.S. Attorneys and selected members of religious right censorship organizations, as well as Steve Takeshita of the LA Vice Squad (he testified against Max Hardcore at his trial), which reliable reports say was also a training session on how to crack down on pornographers. One of those in attendance was Bruce Taylor, former DOJ prosecutor and head of the National Law Center for Children and Families, whose sole objective is to “fight porn.” Taylor is one of the speakers at the CCV conference, and as I pointed out in my undercover article in 2000, these people say things when they think they’re in the company of friends and supporters than they say to the media — and they KNEW I was in the audience at that conference. (What they didn’t know was how thoroughly I would report on them.)

Also, Jan LaRue, lawyer for Concerned Women for America (another right-wing religious whacko group), who scowls every time she sees me, is another speaker, and if you want, I’ll send you some quotes from the 2000 conference that show what kind of a nutcase she is — and it’s important that people in porn know the kind of people who are out to get them, and who have the ear of people in the Bush administration.

I know we have enemies, believe me, and yes I am aware of Ashcrofts SC conference and his anti Bill of Rights agenda.

If you want to keep your head in the sand about the people who have the power and the will to shut you/me/us down, that’s up to you. I happen to think that everything we can expose about these people and their methods makes this industry that much more able to fight them off, in the courts or wherever.

The people who have the most power over us, the people who can get us shut down the fastest are in Porn Vally and YOU know it.

Ultimately it isn’t Ashcroft who will shut us down, it is 12 people sitting in a jury box to whom Ashcroft is going to have to convince that what they are sitting in judgement of is in fact, obscene. Ask Your buddy (and mine) J.D. Obenberger which movie he would rather have to successfully defend, “I like it Rough” or “Sweet 101″?

You see Mark, it’s a lot easier to draw a conviction when you stand before a jury and say “what you just saw was a felony crime, it wasn’t a re-enactment of an assualt it was an assualt. The defense would have you believe that because the act was consensual that it is acceptable free speech. Ladies and Gentlemen, You canot consent to be a party to a crime, if you tell me to kill you and I do so I am in fact guilty of murder, that you told me to do so is not a defense. We hold that because the video tape in question contains numerous counts of felony assualt, a criminal act, and because the director hired these participants for the purpose of assualting this 18 year old girl for monetary gain, that this in fact does meet the criteria for obscenty as defined in the Miller Test. There is no literary or scientific value in conspiracy to commit a crime, and to witness an 18 year old girl, someones daughter assualted in this manner would only appeal to the most degenerate in our society. I have made love, so have you, this is not lovemaking, this is not even sex, this is overt violence and degradation and it is obscene.

As to some of your other allegations: The porn industry has the resources to deal with the people within its own industry who are “brutalizing and assualting [sic] young girls” if it wants to — the obvious remedy being the local cops. If a woman came to me claiming she was assaulted, that’s exactly where I would direct her, and she’d be a fool if she ignored that advice. Last I heard, assault was against the law. People who break their contracts by, for instance, exceeding the bounds of the action agreed to, should be sued, and if that exceeding equals brutality, they should be arrested.

Yes and fortunately for some most of these girls have no idea how much money they would win in a judgement in a civil action. And you cannot contractually commit to be the victim of a crime and brother assault and battery is a crime, and whenever you strike someone, physically cause someone to vomit or spit on them, that is assault.

As you should well know, AIM doesn’t make any diagnoses; it simply reports what the labs it utilizes report. If a misdiagnosis occurred, the lab is to blame, not AIM — and after 19 years as a court reporter, I can tell you that many, MANY doctors and labs make misdiagnoses. Hopefully, none of them are life-threatening, and certainly a false positive misdiagnosis from AIM’s lab would be better for the industry than a missed negative one. As for AIM’s “bad record”, that’s horseshit; there have been some — as there would be with ANY lab. And as for the PCR-DNA test being “inferior,” it’s not only the best we’ve got for working performers, it catches HIV positives EVERY MONTH before these people even get into the industry, and it’s approved by the county health authorities.

Now Dammit Mark that’s just plain misdirection, AIM does make diagnosises and so does Dr York, they make the diagnosis with the help of the results from the testing lab. AIM has a long history of misdiagnosis, you know it, and so do I.

As to the AIDS thing, a false positive is not my concern, my concern is a false negative. You see there are tens of thousands of people in California who are HIV positive and would be clear to work today if they went to AIM and got a “PCR/DNA Test” Ya want me to name a few? OK Mark Wallice, John Stagliano, Trisha Devereaux, Tony Montana, Magic Johnson.

As to your PCR/DNA test being approved by “County Authorities” Thats a joke, these are the same county authorities that run the DMV. Does L. A. County know more than the Centers for Disease Control? The AIDS Foundation? NO recognized authority approves the use of the PCR/DNA test as a screen for HIV. And tell me Mark, when someone is diagnosed by AIM as being HIV positive what exactly is the confirmatory test they use? It isn’t the PCR/DNA is it? I bet its the Western Blot.

Nuff Said!

Jeezus! Get it straight, will ya?
