Major acquisition that will rock a certain aspect of the adult industry…
What? Did DP finally acquire the rights to use Janine’s other arm?

And ZalRiva Has Another Caption:

“No, my name isn’t ‘Lefty’, why do you ask?”

Nightmoves Show (Tampa Show) This Year Is On October 3rd, 2005:

THE most fun time of the year…but it bumps up against shows in Barcelona and The East Coast Video Show.

I WILL be at the Nightmoves Show….See Y’all there!

Disregard what Tampashow.com says about the date…Its wrong

Nifty:

Toshiba has today announced a new lithium ion battery, which, it claims, can recharge 80% of the battery’s energy capacity in just one minute, 60 times faster than the other lithium ion cells. It takes an unspecified ‘few’ more minutes for a complete recharge. The battery has a long life cycle, losing only 1% of its capacity after 1,000 cycles of discharging and recharging. Due to be launched next year, it will initially be used to power hybrid electric vehicles but could be used for smaller devices in future, such as mobile phones and digital cameras.

Super secret squirrel:

I hear that there has been a major acquisition that will rock a certain aspect of the adult industry

I have heard the same thing and yes it will. I also have heard we will hear more next week.

Tim Case Replies to Goddess:

Does Goddess have a job? Does Mike South? Beater? Tim Case? Tod Hunter? Wankus? Do ANY of us have jobs?

hey mike
i notice you didnt make any mention or publish my max hardcore top 10 list. i am less than shocked although you published my first email which was flattering to you. why is that? Oh yeah, because I was giving you a thumbs up. Publish this then. This guy is clearly a scumbag woman hater. You’re a big shithead who is no less hypocritical than the people you often rag on. “i told you so! you people never fuckin listen!”. You are such a friggin ass. You act so righteous just because you can string 2 coherent sentences together unlike most porners. You are so full of shit. You have plenty in common with the asshole republicans you bash. You are both so self righteous. “I worked at nasa.” “I would do this, I would do that”. Fuck you Mike South, you are a loser in denial. Don’t act so righteous like you are on some pedestal looking down on the world. Read you own words because that is exactly what your are. Goodbye cockring

Gee is that you Nick Manning? I love to get hate mail…only thing better is death threats. I didn’t run the max list because it was as juvenile as this letter and would potentially have been slanderous. But regardless thanks for the email asshat, though I guess you will never read the response.

I love these morons…..

I saw the number again last week from AVN, 10 Billion dollars, thats NINE zeros AFER the 10, 11 if ya count the cents.

10,000,000,000.00

That’s a big number and that’s what everyone is saying our biz generates a year.

That got me to thinking. Lets assume that number is correct. According to AVN we realease about 10,000 videos a year, that’s probably about right too…considering that roughly half of them are compilations. But even if they aren’t…well let’s do the math.

Using nice round numbers we take ten billion dollars divided by 10 thousand releases per year, that equals one million.

That means that each of those ten thousand releases would have to generate 1 million dollars in sales on average.

Considering the paltry sum I get for an edited finished master somebody is gettin fucked, big time.

Ok lets knock that down to 100,000 per release…that makes the industry not a ten billion dollar biz but a one billion dollar biz…..and at 100K per release…ya you guessed it I’m still getting fucked.

Now lets be honest here, someone is fudging some numbers BIG time….If not then people like the big three letter distributors should have plenty of money to pay their bills on time…why would they go 90 or more days past due? Are they THAT chincy?

So next time you hear about this biz being a 10 billion dollar a year biz, whip out your trusty calculator and do the math…hell even a porn chick can divide 10,000,000,000 by 10,000….

But AVN picked up the story so most likely DP sent one to them and everyone else will get it Monday, porn companies do that a lot. It’s kinda like the rest of us aren’t very important…funny thing is though we all had that story DAYS ago. Any Day now I expect AVN to release the news of a groundbreaking new concept in porn called DVD.

While We Are Talking about Janine…

Noticed how they either use old pictures of her or she doesn’t have a right arm….or both…Geez people we all know it’s there if yer gonna hire her be proud of it…stop trying to hide it.

KORN frontman Jonathan Davis has joined the weird baby-name club. Davis and his wife, porn star Deven Davis, had a baby boy Monday and named the poor tot Pirate. Pirate joins Gwyneth Paltrow’s Apple, Demi Moore’s Rumer and Scout, Frank Zappa’s Dweezil and Moon Unit and Julia Roberts’ Phinnaeus and Hazel among other awful appellations. The Davises also have another project to look forward to: Jonathan co-directed his wife in a porno flick for Vivid Video.

You know, it’s weird. There’s a picture of Janine on DP’s website, but no news release about her going over.

I watched her comeback feature, and I gotta say, I was impressed (okay, turned on) by how enthusiastic she was in her scenes. And, she was still hot. Except all those tatoos are a turnoff. It’s like when Tori Welles pierced her nose, her tongue, her clit, and turned one side of her body into wall paper.

To me, the big thing for Janine is her age — she’s at that point where there’s probably a curiosity factor about fans who want to see her do guys, and see if she really does anal and DP, the way she told PT she would during the interview in her comeback. But, she better do it fast because she ain’t getting any younger and there isn’t that much excitement around her. Bringing out a new Janine release every six to eight months isn’t going to keep her fans on the edge of their seats. I feel the same way about Tera, who I used to think was incredibly hot and now, I could care ……

One man’s humble opinion.

Wankus From KSEXRADIO Writes:

I like Janine. I think Janine is still one sexy momma. But I have to agree. Neither party made a good decision here. Vivid can still make sense for an upper classman porn star like Janine, hell it was started and groomed on the image of Ginger Lynn. But DP? They are known for their young, hot and hardly shot girls. The MTV porn stars. As much as I have had my beef with Digital Playground, they are the masters of promotion…but their strength comes from making a starlet into a superstar, not a superstar of yesterday into a sueprstar of today. Who knows?! Maybe there’s a method to their madness but I think both parties should’ve kept doing what they were doing, where they were doing it.

WAIT A MINUTE! DP and Adam & Eve are making that pirate movie in the carribean. A good MILF wench may be just what they need to complete the casting of the movie! (wench reference in regards to pirate expression, not Janine)

The whole Janine thing is amusing, AVN hasn’t said a word about it, nor has Digital Playground. I even IMed Jewn with some good natured ribbing about it yesterday, he didn’t respond. It’s almost like Janine is a mixed race baby born into a “southern babdist” family….they can’t kill it but they don’t want anyone to know…LOL

Utah- Utah’s governor signed a bill on Monday that would require Internet providers to block Web sites deemed pornographic and could also target e-mail providers and search engines.

The controversial legislation will create an official list of Web sites with publicly available material deemed “harmful to minors.” Internet providers in Utah must provide their customers with a way to disable access to sites on the list or face felony charges.

The measure, SB 260, says: “Upon request by a consumer, a service provider may not transmit material from a content provider site listed on the adult content registry.” A service provider is defined as any person or company who “provides an Internet access service to a consumer,” which could include everything from cable companies to universities, coffeeshops, and homes with open 802.11 wireless connections.

Gee Greg I remember youi saying this COULDN’T Happen? Where are you on this? Why so quiet? You still helping that asshole Hendales pimp the .XXX Top Level Domain?

Sharon Mitchell, A Stranger To The Truth: (From Jeff)

Mike,

I can see why everyone has a bad attitude about Sharon Mitchell. She not only talked about how common underage performers used to be, she even stated that she was underage on this quote from Lukeisback.com (who quoted it from elsewhere):

Sharon Mitchell: “People were surprised that girls started in porn when they were underage, but I wasn’t surprised because I started underage… I starred in my first feature, Joy, when I was seventeen…”

Normally I would just put it down as another porn story but the claim seems so outrageous I had to look it up. I am surprised Luke didn’t comment on it.

Sharon Mitchell (From IAFD):

Born 1952

Some movies of unkown year however they have costars who did not enter the business until after 1974

First movie: 1974 (Sharon was 22 years old)

Movie “Joy” (her 25th movie) was produced in 1977 when Sharon Mitchell was 25.

She doesn’t seem to help the industry with these claims.She was not an underage performer unless she did some movies not on this list:

Movie Title, Distributor, Year
Bad Sex, Unknown
Bizarre Thunde,r Unknown
Horny Landlady, SWV
Satan Lake, Unknown

It is becoming increasingly apparent that Sharon will say just about anything if she thinks it will make her look important, resulting in AIM being the joke that it is.

This Whole Terry Schiavo Thing Makes Me Crazy:

You have Republicans who have turned this into a moral (read religious) issue. These are the same Republicans mind you, who are dead set against the only thing that MIGHT be able to give Terry a normal life…Stem Cell Research. Don’tcha just love the hypocrisisy in that.

OK This is one I DON’T get. There are way hotter and more bankable girls in porn than Janine…she was last years news 5 years ago.

Maybe they just wanted a contract girl who wasn’t likely to show up on E2K or wherever as a hooker.

Maybe it’s just me but Janine looks like she’d be much more at home in an arboretum.

Have You Been Scammed Lately?:

If so, I have a friend in mainstream TV who wants to help you get justice, get your money back or get even.

This is NOT Jerry Springer or Maury Povich or that ilk.

They need someone who has been clearly conned maybe a fake diamond sold as a real one. A professional who sold you a service like videotaping your wedding, then it turns out clearly that the guy was not a professional…anything where you or someone you know was conned.

If you or someone you know wants justice they can email juliec@sonypicturestv.com

Why the fuck would any REAL health care professional want anything to do with the porn industry? It’s not like there would be serious money in it and the porn industry, from what I’ve seen, can be rather self-destructive. Why would a doctor want to get involved in that? And why would a doctor want to get involved in an industry that refuses to use condoms and engages in risky sexual behaviour? And most of all, what reputable doctor would want to be in the spotlight when/if another HIV crisis breaks out?
Mitchell may be a hack, but she’s all they’ve got…

Keebler Elf

You kinda have a point but it’s like askin what lawyer would represent O J. Admitted O J had a right to a fair trial and competent representation, he also had plenty of money to throw at a defense team. Besides you way under estimate the 2 strongest human motivators…money and sex.

It Has Dawned on Luke Ford:

That there hasn’t been a DP Tonight show in three months. What hasn’t dawned on him is that he is the only one who noticed.

It Is Starting To Dawn on The Rest of Porn Valley:

What a sham AIM is. I know the powers that fund AIM read this site, LISTEN TO ME.

You need to install REAL doctors and medical professionals over there. Install a board that has real health care professionals, until you do AIM is going to continue to look as phony as “Doctor” Mitch’s Phd.

Happy St. Patricks Day:

Everyone pinch Adella
