Quote of the Week: In discussing ways to save the porn industry, April O’Neil interviewed by TheWrap suggested: “I think that if they can get the 3D mixed with the interactive, they’ve got a shot. Eventually porn stars will be replaced by robots anyway, so why not start the process now?”
I guess April doesn’t realize that this industry at one time did attempt to use robots. The names of those robots were Stacy Donovan and Savannah. [insert rim shot here]

This week’s Sasha Grey Media Whore Award winners are Mike Caldwell and Holly Sampson. Caldwell is the creep trying to make a buck off Tiger Woods by selling golf balls with photos of Tiger’s bimbos stamped on them. Holly Sampson is one of said bimbos. Realizing that the Tiger Woods story is drying up quicker than their golf ball supply, these two media whores issued a press release claiming that Sampson is now the official sole distributor of his golf gift sets for Southern California. At almost $60 for a dozen novelty golf balls, they must not be exactly flying off the shelf and this is their lame attempt at generating sales.

The highly coveted I’m Not Sure I’m Following Your Logic Award is given this week to Jeff Mullen and X-Play.
I am never surprised at what happens in this industry, but sometimes I am amazed. Mullen and X-Pay issued a press release in which they give their point of view in a disagreement they have with LA Direct’s Derek Hay concerning rates they pay to actors. They attempt to explain why they have to pay the rates they do while extolling how successful their productions are.
Mullen and X-Play claim they must pay lower rates because free Internet porn is hurting their bottom line. Hay claims the actors deserve more money, but Mullen and X-Play claim that money isn’t everything: “I think most actors have enough pride to want to be a part of something special that has a chance to be recognized as one of the great, entertaining movies of the year which usually results in soaring popularity for the individual participants.” Mullen remarked.
On the other hand, soaring popularity and a cheap trophy doesn’t pay the rent especially when those movies are industry “blockbusters.” I suggest the next time they issue a press release explaining why they pay such cheap rates they shouldn’t also at the same time brag about their success. Or maybe it’s just me.

The equally coveted Son of I’m Not Sure I’m Following Your Logic Award goes to Steve “Papa Smurf” Hirsch. In an interview this week Papa Smurf revealed a possible way to combat all the free porn on the Internet: ‘Maybe the best way to deal with Free is to be free. I’m not sure that at some point we don’t see adult sites evolve to a place where our sites are free, our movies are free and we are ad supported and we take our traffic and send it different places and we support ourselves that way. That’s become one potential option.’
Okay, lets see if I have this correct: Pay sites are going to buy advertising on a free site in the hope that people will visit their site and buy something they just received for free. Isn’t that like McDonalds buying advertising at a food kitchen?

The I’ve Become a Hypocrite in My New Life Award goes to Larry Flynt. This champion of the First Amendment has asked a judge to prevent his statements involving a lawsuit be kept private because he fears he’ll be embarrassed if they become public. His lawyers argue that those statements could end up on the Internet, where they might lead to “annoyance” or “embarrassment.” Oh, you can bet money on that.
This is the same guy who has made a career and a fortune out of annoying and embarrassing celebrities, politicians, and anyone else who doesn’t follow his beliefs. And who could not forget the 1996 film made about his life titled The People v. Larry Flynt? His life has been public record for years. I wonder what could be so embarrassing that he doesn’t want the world to know.

The Larry Craig award winner is California State Senator Roy Ashburn. According to Project Vote Smart, Ashburn’s voting record shows he has voted against every gay rights measure in the State Senate since taking office.
Ashburn was arrested for allegedly driving drunk after leaving Faces, a gay nightclub in midtown Sacramento, early Wednesday morning. It appears Roy blew a .08 and who knows, maybe his un-named male passenger had already, or was about to, blow a California senator.
