Gene generally likes to end his day with a Frangelico on the rocks. Gene also likes referring to himself in the third person.

I can stare at a glass of Frangelico, and be magically transported to a realm of roaring fire places and a home library, cozy with endless oaken shelves of classical literature.

With ice, Frangie looks as totally elegant as Scotch, except I hate the taste of Scotch. On the other hand, with its nut-like flavor, it’s an intoxicating drink as smooth as a high school girl’s ass. The only drawback is that Frangelico goes for $26 a bottle retail, and a bottle will not last you very long.

A porn income could generally sustain such lavish habits, but piracy and free porn, down the line, has affected everyone’s revenue stream. Or one would think. Except I doubt whether the bars in Las Vegas suffered any last week when AEE was in town.

You would also think, what with all this free content, porn would be cutting down on its drinking. Only I don’t see that happening. Next party stop, Atlantic City.

I notice, too, that the debate about free porn continues on the Woodward, Bernstein, Homer and Jethro site. Now that we know that Fortress Investment Group is the alleged guardian angel of Manwin, we can all hit them up for a loan and get ourselves out of the pickle Manwin put the industry in. Seriously. Who’s gonna give a chubby cheeked fat kid in a hoodie that kind of money?

I also notice that Jeff Mullen writes an open letter criticizing AVN for creating an award [Best Free Porn Site] that, according to Mullen, is tantamount to rubbing salt in the industry’s wounds. Yet, Mullen in his screed diplomatically continues to say how much he loves AVN. Which to me means he’s afraid that AVN won’t review his parodies as handsomely if he says too much out of line.

Mullen, however, is making another point and probably not even realizing it. If you’re tired of the courses of action taken by AVN, you have recourse. Stop advertising. Then there will be one less bell to answer, one less publication you’ll have to suck up to for good reviews.

Only by putting the heat on AVN and XBiz, over which you have the power of life and death, can a good handle be put on the free porn issue. It’s certainly not going to be Free Speech coming to your rescue. Diane Duke’s still explaining to Amber Lynn how she came this close to getting a seat on the board.

By the way, Jeff, let me make a feeble observation. In the 30 seconds time it took me, I found the following scenes and movies of yours being made available free on the Internet:

www.xvideos.com/video1017596/not_bewitched_jenna_haze_1 www.xvideos.com/video1017609/not_bewitched_jenna_haze_2 www.xvideos.com/video3488355/tori_black_-_not_the_cosbys_xxx www.xvideos.com/video1093119/not_the_cosbys_xxx_2_cd1 [the full movie]

But I guess you’ll have to be the one to take action because AVN and XBiz certainly won’t be doing it for you. Even though I know you love them.
