It seems most websites nowadays use some version of flash and with that we have over the years taken for granted the security that comes with the applications. However right now that isn’t the case and everyone needs to upgrade their version of flash to make sure they are protected.

A recent vulnerability has been discovered in popular web-content delivery program Adobe Flash, and it could potentially be used to target World of Warcraft players and accounts. The newest available version of Adobe Flash, version 9.0.124.0, does not contain this vulnerability, and we recommend that everyone upgrade their Flash player as soon as possible by visiting the Adobe.com download page at the link below.

In addition, to avoid exploitation of this vulnerability, we have temporarily disabled the ability to post hyperlinks in our forums. Any links will need to be copied and pasted into a browser. We’ll continue to evaluate any potential security threats and take any steps necessary to ensure a safe and fun environment.

For more information on this issue, you can read the announcements from the Adobe security team concerning the threat at the links below.

As you can imagine, I get countless press releases and marketing reports each and every day. Out of them lot I may post a story about 3 a week (if that). Sometimes I will include the press release as it was given to me (or in part) but mostly I will just use the data from the press release for a related article.


Some of these press releases I get are rather well written. They are informative, without being to pushy in the sales department. That really is after all what a press release should be like. Which brings me to the point of my rant for today. So many press releases I get are such bullshit, I thought I would take a moment to dissect a good one and inform and educate the other guys on how to properly write a press release so that perhaps in the future they will take a fucking hint and clean up their act. As a result, they just mind find their press releases have more weight. So let us begin ………


A good press release starts with a headline. This is much like a newspaper headline. It should be short and sweet. You want to be informative but to the point. Here is an example of a good Press Release headline.

Sunny Lane to Rock out at Sexopolis and Erotica LA

The next part of your press release should be where you go into detail about whatever it is you want to inform others about. Again it’s about providing INFORMATION not making a sales pitch. In the example below we learn that porn star Sunny Lane is going to be at the Eroica LA show and making a special presentation at Sexopolis.

Sunny Lane, the porn girl next door, has a busy weekend set for June 6-8 this year. She’ll be signing and getting wild at Erotica LA’s “Rock Arena”, presented by Sexopolis.

Sunny Lane will be a special guest and DJ at Erotica LA’s “Rock Arena”, presented by Sexopolis. Sunny Lane will also be signing in the RockArena and having fun with the musicians, stars and fans at Erotica LA. This section marks the first time Erotica LA has dedicated a space to the age old crossover between sex and rock n’ roll.


Who the fuck is Sunny Lane? What is Erotica LA? What is Sexopolis? Well this is where a truly great press release stands out from the crowd. A truly great press release will end by doing a few things. First and foremost it will provide you with the name of the person sending it with their contact information (phone, email, etc.) so that you may contact them for more details and then do an ABOUT section for each mentioned item. For those who didn’t know who Sunny Lane is we have the about Sunny Lane part of the press release which says …

About Sunny Lane:
Sunny Lane is one of America’s brightest and sexiest adult stars. Lane was a 2008 AVN award winner and Xfanz top 10 Adult Performer of 2006. She is a winner of multiple awards including Nightmoves Best New Starlet 2006, 2006 FOXE Vixen Award, AEBN’s award for most downloaded newbie, and 2004 Deja Vu Showgirl of the Year. Sunny Lane has been the subject of several mainstream television appearances including FOX’s reality show ‘My Bare Lady’, and ABC ‘Primetime’.


Notice it claims she is “one of America’s brightest and sexiest adult stars” but then it backs up those claims with cold hard facts about her career and awards. The next part informs the readers what Erotica LA is and about Sexopolis . It’s a great press release because it’s informative, factual, and it doesn’t get pushy and obvious with the sales push. Now if other so called PR companies would take a fucking hint and learn how to write their god damn press releases, the world would be a much better place.


About Sexopolis:
Sexopolis was created specifically as a fun erotic, sex-themed dance event that showcases elements of the adult entertainment world and crosses over into the mainstream in the form of a large-scale, quality entertainment event. This marks the fourth Sexopolis’ in three years, bringing the glitz and gleem to the porn dream. Last year’s event featured Ron Jeremy, Seymore Butts and the girls of Lighthouse Talent, Joanna Angel and her Burning Angels, Sunny Lane and Matt Zane as the sinister anti-host of sin.

About Erotica LA:
Erotica LA is the premier consumer adult lifestyle convention. The three-day extravaganza takes place June 6-8, 2008 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Erotica LA is world-renowned for introducing new products, services and concepts in the world of romantic, sensual and erotic entertainment. Erotica LA brings together merchants, exhibitors, talent, educators and consumers alike in the most newsworthy and entertaining event of the year.

Speaking of Sunny Lane. Is this her I found in the video clips getting it up the ass in Anal Fever 5? If so, damn she’s hot as fuck. Either way enjoy the ass fucking video clips. Even if it’s not Sunny Lane it’s worth the watch.


Anal Fever


In an effort to show you that any subject in the world can make up a great press release, I’m going to make up one of my own taking information found on various websites. Let’s go with the LA Direct Models website and the Love Twins. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS NOT A REAL PRESS RELEASE. IT IS ALL MADE UP BULLSHIT MEANT TO SERVE AS AN EXAMPLE. Although some data is real as I got it from various websites, the real point is just to show you what you can do with a press release.

It is on this day we celebrate the birth of the one and only Misty Mendez. Born May 28, 1975 in Los Angeles, CA, Misty Mendez began her adult career in 1999 when she did a handful of adult movies including three titles for Vivid. Becoming a popular Latina performer, Misty Mendez would also go on to perform in titles such as Best of North Pole 2 with Peter North and Latin Extreme which was one of the first movies the now famous Alexis Amore performed in. Misty Mendez seems to have retired in 1996, but she’s still one hot bitch so we decided to take today, her birthday to celebrate and appreciate her sexiness.

The Top 3 DVDs Author: Ryan Rayzer

So what are the top selling adult DVDs this week? Well a look at the sales charts and we see that someone has a thing for MILFs, Big Asses and Cheerleaders.

The short video, available immediately at declareyourself.com and vivid.com, and soon at dozens of other video sharing websites, features Ms. Leone is, who is, in her words, a “firm believer in personal freedom.”

“The best way to exercise that freedom,” she says in the video, “is to vote.”

From Iron Man to Playboy Author: Ryan Rayzer

When you are the world’s most famous playboy, it has to be hard to try and figure out who will play the role of you in your life’s movie. I mean who hasn’t thought about what celebrity they want to play them? Even Jenna Jameson has when she said she wanted Scarlett Johansson to play her. Although Scarlett Johansson said not gonna happen, it doesn’t mean one can’t dream.



So what if you are Hugh Hefner? Well the list of potential candidates to play Hugh Hefner was surprisingly short and when the Iron Man himself came up, Robert Downey Junior, High Hefner agreed … or so says a recent story in the Chicago Sun Times. Long story short, a biography is in the works for the life of Playboy Hugh Hefner.

It’s not a 100 percent done deal, but sources say Hefner has signed off on Downey to play him in the movie, with the working title “Playboy.”

He took a liking to the actor after seeing “Iron Man” and admiring his humor and skill in showing his vulnerability.


Chicago is expected to be used for the shooting of scenes focusing on the early years of Playboy magazine. A Chicago native, Hefner grew up in Galewood and launched Playboy here before moving the California.

They all deserved to die Author: Ryan Rayzer

They all deserved to die …. or so says Sharon Stone. Yes, the Basic Instinct famous Sharon Stone. The one who showed you a crotch shot and made many of us go OMG WTF!!? for the first time. I know I normally only report on sex industry related topics but this one is just far to good to pass up.


So what am I rambling about now? Well it seems that everyone’s favorite crotch lady said a mouthful the other day, at least according to TMZ. Sharon Stone was speaking in Cannes about the recent Earthquake in China and how some 60,000 people died. She said it was bad karma and indicated they deserved to die because of “cosmic payback”.

When is a natural disaster a good thing? When the afflicted country commits human rights violations — at least according to Sharon Stone. “All these earthquake and stuff happened and I thought, ‘Is that karma?’ When you are not nice that bad things happen to you.”


Okay well your penis may not actually fall off but you could lose consciousness or have a never ending erection so says a recent story over at Reuters. It seems some crafty little fellows are handing out and / or selling meds that claim to improve sexual performance but in reality you may find they make your life a living hell. The product in question is called Desire.

Health Canada issued the warning in a release about a product called Desire, which was found to contain the prescription drug phentolamine — something not indicated on the label.


“Health Canada advises consumers not to use Desire or any other unauthorized products promoted to increase sexual performance that are advertised as ‘all natural’, as such products may contain undeclared prescription drugs that may pose serious risks to health,” it said in a statement.




No not really but apparently the Urban Spice Awards are! I was reading an article last February about the introduction of an awards show for ethnic stars and movies. The brainchild of director Giana Taylor, it will showcase the finest ethnic talent, producers and product. The first annual Urban Spice Awards show will be held Sunday, June 8th, 2008, at Platinum Live in Studio City, CA. Now here is where the story gets interesting.


LIES! CORRUPTION!! BACK DOOR DEALINGS!! SAY IT AIN'T SO?!

According to the article from LukeisBack, Giana Taylor is an alias for Alexander Devoe’s ex wife (Diane Devoe) and Alex Devoe for those who don’t know is a director and nominee for Best Director - Body of Work, Best Studio, Best Videography, and the nomination for the award of Visionary.


When this story was first revealed on LukeisBack, it was not known that not only would the husband of Giana Taylor be nominated for those awards, but also she herself would be up for the same awards, under her real name Diane Devoe. Her nominations include Best Director - Body of Work, Best Director - Feature, Best Videography.


This article stated that Diana Devoe and her current boyfriend John E. Depth would be removed from consideration from the award however we now see that he in fact is still up for the award of Best Director - Body of Work. In response to the claims of corruption Diane Devoe (or someone claiming to be Diane Devoe) had this to say :


Wow……..


I just wanted to be clear. Is the opinion that someone who is sleeping with someone who is involved in an awards show should be unilaterally barred from receiving an award? Just checking…. BECAUSE I’M CRAZY SURE NOTHING LIKE THAT’S EVER HAPPENED BEFORE!!!! LMFAO! You guys are cute.


So why my friends am I bringing up an issue that was discussed to death last February? I mean don’t get me wrong, it’s always fun to make fun of someone who created an entire awards show only to nominate themselves and their friends in multiple categories but there is another reason I write about this now. I write about it because it’s almost time for the awards show to take place and I thought now would be a good time to point out some of the nominees but before doing so I wanted to remind you all of the story that went along with the Urban Spice Awards. Actually the whole reason I even bothered looking all of this shit up is because I noticed August was nominated for an award.

August – “Best Oral Female,” as seen in Lord of Asses XI
