Gun-totin' pornsters step up

By Kevin Murphy

The company behind a proposal to create .xxx, an adults-only top-level internet domain, is set to run the gauntlet of objections from angry pornographers and appalled Christians for the sixth time.

ICANN last week published a draft contract that, if signed, could allow Florida-based ICM Registry to start offering .xxx domains as early as next summer, and opened up a 30-day public comment period.

Pornographers led by the Free Speech Coalition are already asking ICANN to kill the proposal. They claim ICM's application is little more than a balls-out effort to bilk them out of money during a time of economic hardship and rampant piracy.

Domains with the .xxx extension are expected to cost more than $60 per year, compared to roughly $10 per year for .com domains.

Mike South, a self-described "Gun Totin’, Libertarian Pornographer", told ICANN: "How many times and how many ways do we have to say this? The adult industry OPPOSES this money grab by ICM registry. We do not want this abomination."

ICM says .xxx gives members of the adult industry the opportunity to self-identify, enabling easier filtering, and to promote responsibility by voluntarily abiding by a set of industry best practices.

Registrants will have to have their identities verified, and $10 from each domain will go to a new organisation focussed on supporting free speech and child protection efforts.

It's the sixth time over the last six years that the .xxx application has come in for public scrutiny. Most recently, this spring an ICANN comment period attracted an unprecedented 13,000 letters and emails, the vast majority of which came from outraged American religious groups.

The newly published ICM-ICANN contract contains a few amendments that highlight how controversial the .xxx domain application has become.

First and foremost, ICM has agreed to fully indemnify ICANN against any legal action that results from its decision to approve .xxx, apparently introduced in response to fears that pornographers could sue to block .xxx's passage.

In addition, the part of the contract that spells out precisely who will be eligible to register a .xxx domain has been rejiggered to more clearly spell out a bizarre Catch-22 that detractors in the porn industry face.

In order to be considered a part of the .xxx Sponsored Community and register domains, a business not only has to provide adult-oriented products and services but also has to "have determined that a system of self-identification would be beneficial".

Of course, opponents do not think that .xxx is beneficial, so they are by definition not part of the community. Technically, the only way they could become a part of the community, and have their objections taken on board as such, would be to drop their objections.

But the bulk of the changes to the contract, since its 2007 iteration, deal with the creation of and "baseline policies" for IFFOR, the International Foundation For Online Responsibility, which ICM has created in order to independently oversee .xxx policy-making.

These baseline policies include bans on spam and phishing, and a prohibition on child porn, as defined by UN convention. The ban extends to marketing practices that suggest the presence of child porn, such as HTML meta-tags.

The hope is that by shifting all responsibility for policy-making to IFFOR before the contract is signed, ICANN can effectively wash its hands of claims that it is trying to regulate content.

Sanctity of life is a principle of implied protection regarding aspects of sentient life which are said to be holy, sanctified, or otherwise of such value that they are not to be violated. [...]]]> Every now and again a universal truth hits me, usually while I'm doing something mundane like playing Rock Band or riding my scoot.

Sanctity of life is a principle of implied protection regarding aspects of sentient life which are said to be holy, sanctified, or otherwise of such value that they are not to be violated. In western religions, the concept is based on the belief that all human beings have souls or are created in God's image.

Now if you believe in the sanctity of life...lets see a virtual show of hands.....ok leave em up.

Now lets test your convictions

Do you believe in the death penalty? Put your hands down if so.

How about a womans right to choose to have an abortion....hands down.

do you support the war in Iraq? hands down.

afghanistan? hands down.

doctor assisted suicide? hands down.

the right to use deadly force? Hands down.

I'm guessing by now we dont have many hands left up and if you do I'd bet ten to one your ideological foundation is Buddhism.

The point here is that we all like to say that a human life is sacred but truth is for most of us (I am including myself here) there is nothing sacred about it. Yes we hold it in pretty high regard, generally speaking, but we all can think of situations where, well it just ain't so sacred anymore.

Personally I believe a woman has the right to choose abortion, it should be between her and her God.

I believe in the use of deadly force if you threaten someone's life, liberty, property or family.

I do NOT believe in the state executing the death penalty, that strikes me as just revenge.

I don't support the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan although I do think sometimes war is a necessary evil and I have the utmost respect for our servicemen and women no matter where they are.

I believe you have the absolute right to self determination when it comes to suicide, it is after all, your life.

So the next time you hear some sanctimonious asshat talking about the sanctity of life you can feel comfort in the knowledge that they are just spouting rhetoric. You live, you die, in between try to have fun and not do evil shit.....

There is a girl girl scene but there are no boy girl tapes. Spencer Pratt wasn't in Costa Rica and Steve Hirsch damn sure wasn't going there to meet with him.

This whole thing was cooked up to simply play TMZ and RadarOnline for free publicity for Vivid and for Heidi's upcoming reality show, and they bit...hook, line and sinker.

There never was a 5 million dollar offer because there never was a sex tape, other than the aforementioned girl/girler which isn't worth much of anything.

Hirsch should remember the story about the little boy who cried wolf. I'm still trying to figure if Spencer Pratt played Hirsch or if the both teamed up and played TMZ.

The source said her behavior had been become a liability, she was increasingly difficult to work with and we got tired of being treated like one of her "Johns". Her escorting was putting the company in a bad light and it was decided not to renew her contract.

Apparently in certain circles at Adam and Eve she was referred to as "Miss Piggy" after a story I did calling her the biggest pig in porn.

Word is Adam and Eve will quietly let all of the current contracts expire and get out of the contract girl biz altogether.

Bree will no doubt become popular again in the gonzo market but it may come as a shock to her how much the rates have dropped. She will do just fine but once the novelty of her Adam and Eve contract wears off work at high rates may become difficult for her to find.

Its set up similar to sites like onemodelplace and model mayhem but it is for the adult industry.

I think this could be a good thing. Allowing performers and directors to cut out the middle men, reducing costs and allowing performers to manage their own careers.

It's in it's early stages right now but I think that if it can avoid the scammers you get on onemodelplace, model mayhem and the like it could be a good thing for the biz. I already suggested they add an avatar that would indicate producers who are verified as being legit in the adult biz.

I applaud new ideas like this, even if it isn't really that new (It's been tried before) I think this time the timing might be more right.

Give it a try, it don't cost anything

from www.radaronline.com - Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag continue the spectacle that is their relationship and RadarOnline.com has exclusive details from inside their publicity-driven scam.

From the video of Spencer and a shadowy woman alleged to be Heidi Montag in Costa [...]]]> At least finally, one mainstream media source is actually figuring it out.

from www.radaronline.com - Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag continue the spectacle that is their relationship and RadarOnline.com has exclusive details from inside their publicity-driven scam.

From the video of Spencer and a shadowy woman alleged to be Heidi Montag in Costa Rica, to the reports Spencer is shopping a sex tape of Heidi, to the stories of Heidi sobbing hysterically over the sex tape she doesn’t want released, there is plenty of plot to their story line.

The thing is, it’s all a scam.

First Lie: Spencer is blackmailing Heidi so he can release a sex tape of her.

Multiple legal experts have confirmed to RadarOnline.com that all parties involved in a sex tape must consent to the release or else it is a slam-dunk lawsuit for the party that didn’t consent. If the tape is released, the party who hasn’t agreed can sue for invasion of privacy and a host of other legal issues. And they are nearly guaranteed of a huge court victory.

That’s the dirty little secret with celebrity sex tapes – the celebrity has to agree to its release and they always profit off the sales. Paris Hilton still gets a cut of her tape’s profits as does Kendra Wilkinson. Kim Kardashian settled for $5 million after dropping her lawsuit against Vivid Entertainment. ( A figure I HIGHLY doubt)

So without Heidi’s consent Spencer can’t release the tapes.

Second Lie: Heidi and Spencer have been staying apart.

As RadarOnline.com exclusively reported, Heidi, Spencer and Cougar Zank have been living in the same house in Malibu all summer. Also, the separation and then divorce papers that Heidi filed didn’t even have the same wedding date on them. Zank told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview that the split was “a show” and questioned if “reality is real.”

Third Lie: Heidi is hiding out because she wanted to stay out of the limelight to focus on other things, like her movie career.

RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively that the real reason Heidi has been hidden in the past months is because she has been advised that photos sales of her would garner more income if the market wasn’t saturated with images of her. Heidi didn’t even surface for the candlelight vigil of her beloved plastic surgeon Dr. Frank Ryan who passed away in a car crash. The vigil was held less than a mile from her Malibu home.

RadarOnline.com has also learned that there will soon be a barrage of Heidi photos to capitalize on the current attention focused on her and Spencer as their relationship dramas take another turn.

So, statistically, doctors are appproximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

FACT: NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT
Almost everyone has at least one doctor.This means you are over 900 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as a gun owner!!!

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must ban doctors before this gets completely out of hand!!!!!

Out of concern for the public at large, I withheld the statistics on lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical attention!

And rightly so, Heidi is a pretty smoking chick, proving that smoking chicks often seem to prefer douche bags....

But lets [...]]]> OK So the buzz in the biz right now is all about the latest sex tape.  Seems Heidi Montag has knocked Montana Fishburne right out of the tabloids altogether.

And rightly so, Heidi is a pretty smoking chick, proving that smoking chicks often seem to prefer douche bags....

This particular douche bag being Spencer Pratt.

But lets get down to the facts here, first of all no matter what you read anyplace else this tape cannot be released without Heidi's consent.  Same was true for Pamela Anderson, Kim Kardashian, Screech, and ALL the rest of them. So stop falling for the whole drama thing they always spin around it, getting a lawyer to write a letter insisting Steve Hirsch no distribute the tape is a matter of Steve paying the lawyer to do it so that he gets free publicity.  Use your heads people.

And as for the 5 million dollar price tag? BULL FUCKING SHIT.  There is NO WAY, I repeat NO WAY Hirsch is going to drop 5 Mil on this, that's just Steve spinning the story so he gets even more free press out of it.

It's unbelievable that the mainstream press keeps falling for these lines of bullshit.

Spencer Pratt may have ASKED for 5 million but I'd bet its less than a million, a lot less for his entire library of her sex scenes.

And while we are at it could we please stop with the Kardashian nonsense claim that her sex tape made her famous.  Kardashian already had her reality show in the works when the sex tape came out, it did about as much to make her famous as it did Ray J and all Ray J proved in that tape is that he is a lame fuck.

O.J. Simpson made Kardashian famous when he hired her Daddy, they rest of it is just the America's stupidity.

The only thing lamer than Vivid features are Vivids sex tapes....
