(CRANBURY, NJ) — I don’t know if I was honored or shocked when I received an email from retiring porn journalist Hank Rose, who wrote a column on YesPortal, implying that I may have been a creation of Howard Stern, that ruined Hank’s chances of being a “porn poet”.

Alex:

I salute your contribution to smut culture. However,
tell me. How did you come about your poetic porn
prowess? I once sent Howard a porn poem a long time
ago under the pen name, Alexander Porno, I believe.

I often wondered if someone from the Stern camp who
was inspired by my poem created your persona. So I
recently sent them a porn rap lyric. If you are indeed
a rip off, then so be it. You still have my blessing.

Regards,

Hammerin’ Hank Rose

To clear up any complications, I, ATP was created near the end of 1997. I did once attempt to get on Stern’s program. But I was not successful.

On April 18, 2002, I secured a nightly gig on KSEXradio, on The Wanker Show with Wankus. At that time, I made an unwritten vow, or whatever you want to call it, to not try to get on Stern since it may have been a conflict of interest, since Wankus was often compared to Stern.

As of the present time, I have no intentions of trying to get on Stern. Many fans suggest it, but I just don’t want to go that route. If Stern wants me, I’m not that hard to find. I got 3 websites you know :).

And furthermore, if I was indeed a Stern creation, don’t you think I’d be mad famous by now and featured on Stern’s own show???

At any rate, I would like to thank Hank Rose again for the kind words and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

You idiot! If you have a chance to get on Stern, go do it. I appreciate the loyalty but 2 million listeners in comparison with four to six thousand is quite a jump! You have my blessing.
