Larry and Joe: Bail us out, too http://bananaguide.com/article/75159 Larry Flynt wants money from governmentTwo big shots in the adult-entertainment industry, Larry Flynt (of "Hustler" fame) and Joe Francis (creator of "Girls Gone Wild") want in on the government bailouts. They have petitioned Washington for a whopping $5 billion.

“The government’s handing out money to the auto industry,” Francis said. “Why shouldn’t it hand some to an industry the nation could not live without?”

Adult star Jenna Presley said her website has seen a 20 percent decline in customers, forcing her to cut back on overhead costs. (Fewer wet naps?)

“I said, ‘I’ve got to stop paying guys and girls to perform with, and I’ve got to find (other Web site proprietors) to do a content exchange with,’ ” Presley said.

However, as far as a bailout is concerned, Presley said the industry just needs to change with the time. “I’m not taking this bailout request seriously,” Presley said. “I love Larry. He’s a great guy. But he doesn’t need $5 billion.”

Rep. Brad Sherman from Sherman Oaks agrees. “I regret that two porn-industry executives have used the current economic crisis to launch an obvious publicity stunt. As Americans face tough economic times, we need a serious discussion of the issues.”

“People are too depressed to be sexually active,” Flynt countered in a news release. “This is very unhealthy as a nation. Americans can do without cars and such, but they cannot do without sex.”

Something tells us that Republicans and conservative Democrats will draw the line on this one ...

Veoh not guilty of copyright infringement http://bananaguide.com/article/75160 Veoh beats UMG
in copyright infringement caseOnline video-sharing site Veoh has bested Universal Music Group (UMG) in a recent copyright infringement suit. UMG claimed Veoh was liable for any copyrighted material that appeared on the Internet TV service.

Veoh defended the site under the “safe harbor” provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This basically allows sites which rely on user-generated content to post videos without requiring proof of ownership.

“DMCA works well if the site is in the U.S.,” Brandon Shalton from FightThePatent.com told XBIZ. “The site has up to 48 hours to remove the content once they have received notice. But it gets more tricky, because how does the website know the person telling them to take something down is the copyright owner and not the competitor trying to knock out his competitor’s content?”

U.S. District Judge A. Howard Matz found that because Veoh did not prescreen content, nor rely on infringement for profit, it was not liable for UMG’s claims of damages.

“We are gratified that the court has denied UMG's attempt to bar the use of safe harbor afforded to us under the copyright laws,” a spokesperson for Veoh told XBIZ. “We have always believed that Veoh is operating clearly within the bounds of the law and demonstrates the utmost respect to all copyright owners.”

Don't hold your breath for this fight to end any time soon.

Collin O'Neal goes live http://bananaguide.com/article/75153 Collin
O'Neal going live on his websiteCollin O'Neal wanted to add a little oomph to his already hot website, so he decided to come out of retirement (sort of) and perform in a series of live sex shows broadcast on webcam.
 
"I decided to do a beta testing of a webcam show about three weeks ago, and I was very surprised by the interest among my members," O'Neal said.
 
It is partly a response to the current economic climate, says O'Neal. He's felt it; profits are down and people are looking for more value for their money. So he's taking his already successful format of hot manly men and adding the twist of some live action.
 
"Not only was there a massive downfall in the worldwide economy, but there is also a huge number of porn actors and other people trying to get into the gay porn Web business, making profits much harder to keep stable, let alone grow," O'Neal said.
 
The first live show aired yesterday and included O'Neal's ex-boyfriend, Arpad Miklos. He plans to offer the live show twice a month.
 
O'Neal will also be adding a second feature called 'Chat with Collin,' where he answers questions from fans.
 
"I had a lot of fun answering questions my members had for me, and I love letting people get to know me a bit more personally," he said.

(Not so) candid camera http://bananaguide.com/article/75154 This particular video came to our attention via Fleshbot. They question the premise of the clip (a candid camera shoot of a friend jerking off while his buddy showers) and we're prone to agree. Still, any chance to watch a young hottie work his cock is good enough for us!

Matthew Rush goes free agent http://bananaguide.com/article/73140 Matthew Rush will no longer be a lifetime exclusive model for Falcon. And, according to The Sword, the 36-year-old is already sending out e-mails to "a select group of producers" as he looks for his next big gig.

Rush started his career in 2001 in the movie "Bounce," turning heads and hardening cocks with his impressive body and handsome features. He quickly made a name for himself as a muscled top, but has been known to take it up the butt from time to time.

And he hasn't limited his on-camera activity to porn. Rush made an appearance in Chad Allen's gay detective film, "Third Man Out" and had a small cameo in "Another Gay Movie."

The reason for the split between performer and studio has not been revealed. According to Troy Prickett, Falcon's Director of Promotion, "Even though [Matthew] will officially be shedding his Lifetime Exclusive title we fully expect to be working with him again sometime soon.”

A lifetime just ain't what it used to be.

Kicking homophobia in the balls http://bananaguide.com/article/73146 Soccer players coming out against homophobiaIn an effort to end homophobia in football (soccer) the likes of David Beckham, Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo are being asked to join forces in a Public Service Announcement (PSA) to be screened at soccer stadiums and in schools throughout the UK.  The message: "kick anti-gay prejudice off the pitch and out of the terraces."

The Football Association and the Professional Footballers Association have promised £20,000 in funding for the project.

"I know of a group of gay footballers who would not feel comfortable coming out at the moment," said project organizer Peter Tatchell. "This video might be the precursor to that happening, and if it's well received, I suspect it will give some players the confidence to think about coming out."

In British football history only one player has been open about his homosexuality, and that didn't end well. Justin Fashanu committed suicide in 1998 after suffering from years of abuse and bigotry from teammates and football fans.

Tatchell noted: "The plan is to feature big-name stars speaking out against homophobia, in order to make anti-gay chants look as stupid, ignorant and uncool as racist ones."

We think Beckham should just come out (gay or not). He could even be a bi man. And then we could get married in some strange three way with Victoria and live happily ever after in a villa on the west coast of Spain and ... but we digress.

Ricky Gervais: Gay jokes bad, fat jokes good http://bananaguide.com/article/73139 Ricky GervaisCalling a group of people "lazy fucking pigs" is certainly one way to court controversy. When British comedian Ricky Gervais said just that about anyone getting liposuction in his new audio book "The Ricky Gervais Guide To Medicine" he received a lot of flak.

Some critics claimed he would never make fun of gay people, therefore he shouldn't make fun of overweight people.

So, as with any star worth their (ahem) weight these days, he took to his blog to explain:

"It's not the same thing though, is it? Gay people are born that way. They didn't work at becoming gay. Fat people became fat because they would rather be that way than stop eating so much. They had to eat and eat to get fat. Then, when they were fat they had to keep up the eating to stay fat. For gayness to be the same as fatness, gay people would have to start off straight but then ween themselves onto cock. Soon they're noshing all day getting gayer and gayer. They've had more than enough cock… they're full… they're just sucking for the sake of it. Now they're overgay, and frowned upon by people who can have the occasional cock but not over indulge.

"When a doctor tells me that that's how you become gay, I'll stop making jokes about fat people."

Overgay? Guilty as charged!

Viagra: fighting terrorists one pill at a time http://bananaguide.com/article/73120 Viagra being
used in war on terrorThe CIA has discovered that a package of Viagra does more than keep their men at attention. The little blue pill is proving very helpful in the war on terror.

The Washington Post reports that the sexual stimulant is being traded by the CIA for valuable information on the Taliban. In one instance, a 60-year-old warlord struggling with four much younger wives was given four pills; a few days later he offered detailed information on the movement of anti-US forces.

"Whatever it takes to make friends and influence people," the Post quoted one CIA agent. "Whether it's building a school or handing out Viagra."

In the case of the warlord: "He came up to us beaming. He said, 'You are a great man.' And after that we could do whatever we wanted in his area."

Other gifts are offered as well, including dental work, toys and medicine. But we're sure Viagra provides the most bang for the American buck.

Even porn stars get plastic surgery http://bananaguide.com/article/73119 Jordan Jaric has nose jobJordan Jaric, one half of Falcon’s super couple (with partner Aden), didn't think he was pretty enough. So the young starlet took a cue from gay icon Kathy Griffin and went under the knife for a little nip and tuck.

Replaced? A rather nice nose for a much smaller one.

Aden told vidioview, “Of course he got a nose job. It’s been planned for a long time. He has wanted it since he was 12. ... It’s still in the healing process, so it’s a bit swollen."

One or two little touches is not a problem. Just don't go crazy, Jordan; remember Joan Rivers?

Mason Wyler considers bareback http://bananaguide.com/article/73111 Mason Wyler considering barebackInsatiable bottom boy  Mason Wyler is considering a new direction for his porn star path: bareback. And it's condomless porn from Eastern Europe that triggered his latest obsession.

"In my post titled, 'A Guilty Pleasure', I revealed my affinity for Eastern European bareback porn flicks," he wrote on his blog. "I said that if I was only more daring or more stupid that I would be in Prague getting my ass plowed bareback by all the hot gay cock that the Czech Republic has to offer. Well today I want to confess that I might actually be that daring/stupid."

The career limiting move -- he reduces the number of future fuck partners and the studios who will work with him -- is getting less than an enthusiastic reaction from his fans.

"Fantasies are exciting but this is not the 70's, you need to play safe," offered one person.

"Sorry Mason , I think you're sick ... you'll have no guarantee that you'll not be infected ... And ( I hate to be moralistic) there's still no cure if it's the case," added another.

Of course, there are those who want to see the young man risk his health. "Condoms in porn (and in person) are a huge buzz kill. Go for it, Mason." (We thought catching a life altering disease would be an even bigger buzz kill, crazy us!)

As for Mason, we're hoping he's not serious when he says, "I want to be an American barebacking bottom slut for hot Eastern European porn models, taking load after load deep inside me until my ass looks like a torn-up cream filled twinkie."

Campbell Soup in hot water http://bananaguide.com/article/73117 Campbell
Soup in hot water over gay adsCampbell Soup Company's recent ad in The Advocate has angered conservative types. The two page spread features Cafe Forant Chef Lea Forant with her partner, Carolyn, and their young son Eli.

The American Family Association (AFA) was quick to attack the company for "a message that homosexual parents constitute a family and are worthy of support." The AFA is urging members to write to Campbell's President Douglas Conant and "tell him you want his company to stop supporting the gay agenda."

Campbell's, however, refuses to give in. "Our position on this is pretty straightforward," said company rep Anthony Sanzio. “Inclusion and diversity play an important role in our business, and that fact is reflected in our marketing plan. For more than a century, people from all walks for life have enjoyed Campbell’s products, and we will continue to try to communicate in ways that are meaningful and relevant to them.

"Our plans for the Swanson brand include additional placements in The Advocate."

We can understand the AFA's concern. First it's soup, and then what? Frozen pizza? We gays will be eating just like everybody else soon.

Becks will be playing with Borriello and the AC Milan until March, on loan from the LA Galaxy.

“I must admit I have a dressing room curiosity over Beckham," he said. “I want to see if he is as equipped as he is in the Armani underwear adverts.”

Here's hoping Borriello has a camera on his cell phone.

This website is rated X http://bananaguide.com/article/72601 movie ratingsBritish Cabinet Minister Andy Burnham hopes to get Barack Obama's help in creating a code of decency for the Internet, bringing a movie-style ratings system to all websites. And that's just the beginning of Burnham's aim to police the World Wide Web.

Culture Secretary Burnham sees the Internet as “quite a dangerous place" and feels governments must come together to control who sees what. It's censorship for the new age. He even wants politicians to consider forcing Internet Service Providers to establish "child safe" services which censor out websites that aren't "family friendly."

Mr Burnham said:  “There is content that should just not be available to be viewed. That is my view. Absolutely categorical. This is not a campaign against free speech, far from it; it is simply there is a wider public interest at stake when it involves harm to other people. We have got to get better at defining where the public interest lies and being clear about it.

“I think there is definitely a case for clearer standards online,” he added. “More ability for parents to understand if their child is on a site, what standards it is operating to. What are the protections that are in place?”

We've heard it all before. In fact, these exact same arguments have been used by U.S. legislators to justify state censorship since the dawn of the Internet. Perhaps the Brits are inspired by Australia, which recently implemented a two-tiered nation-wide firewall to block illegal and child-unfriendly websites.

BananaGuide would be on the naughty list for sure, but sites created by PFLAG and safer sex educators could also be targeted. As is always the case with Net censorship, the problem lies in who determines what is appropriate for kids and what is not. And that's what we thought parents were for.
