Two 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 ...

Online 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.

We want to go to the Czech Republic on a journey of discovery.  We hear  that everywhere you turn the streets are filled with beautiful men with big cocks. Sounds like heaven! 

Czech Boys remains a stalwart site providing tons of exclusive video of, well, Czech Boys. While the site design is somewhat busy and the quality of the video varies there are hundreds of hot Euro studs here for your pleasure. Read the Review.

Collin 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.

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 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.

In 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.

Calling 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!
