Adult Industry News and Porn Star Gossip

Archive for July 14th, 2008

As on line shopping becomes more common place you think it would be more common that websites have a nifty little feature like “find a store near you” on the front page of their website and well most non adult / mainstream retail websites do have just that, but not so much in the adult world. It seems we have a very distinct market of real world shopping vs online shopping and the two majors for each are not one in the same.


In the real world if you want some shit for your computer you go to Best Buy. It doesn’t fucking matter if it’s Best Buy the store down the street or BestBuy.com, it’s really one in the same. Same thing goes for office supplies. If you want them you are probably going to head out to your nearest Office Depot store location or perhaps OfficeDepot.com.


However when it comes to the world of porn it doesn’t really translate the same. There are those who will buy it in a real store, for those who live in cities who have real stores and then there are those who will only buy their shit on line. The two don’t seem to be all that interchangeable like they are in the real world.


Which probably explains why far to few adult websites have the “find a store” feature however Pink Visual has changed that with the addition to their own website. This new feature allows customers at the site to search for nearby Adult Store locations by entering a zip code. The site then provides the location and contact information for stores prioritized by distance.


“The best thing about this feature is that it helps to drive foot traffic to adult retail stores all over the country,” says Marketing and PR Coordinator Kate Sylvan. “This supports our brick and mortar retailers, our distributors who service those retailers, and the end consumer.”


Customer service is the cornerstone of PinkVisual.com. A visitor to the site can watch free trailers, order DVDs online, join Pink Visual Paysites, watch PV content through VOD programs and now find a store near them that carries the Pink Visual product line. The Find a Store feature also provides the contact information for each store, enabling the customer to call ahead and check the store for availability on a particular title or to place a special order.


“This communication between retailer and consumer is vital,” continues Sylvan. “Having customers tell the retailer what products they want increases both customer satisfaction and store sales. Pink Visual benefits when the customer requests our product which increases our sales as well.”


Sylvan mentions that she has yet to see this type of feature on any competitive websites.


“Even though it seems like a natural feature to have on an adult site, our preliminary research showed that very few adult studios offer this service. This innovative feature further differentiates Pink Visual from our competitors and demonstrates our continued support to our distributors, retailers, and end consumers.”

So I’m watching this seemingly never ending bore fest known as the live Microsoft Press Conference at the E3 2008 show.  An hour and 18 minutes into this thing and it still is showing no signs of ending.  So far nothing major has been announced.  It was like some new Uno game called Uno rush, avatars for Xbox live, new bands for Guitar hero, blah blah blah.   The only thing that really stuck out in my mind was the $48 billion dollars a year the gaming industry earns and the fact that the upcoming 4 games alone are expected to bring in half a billion dollars alone in sales.  Gaming is big business.  But for the most part, the press conference has been a big fat bore.  It was however when they announced a new game called Lips, which is like Rockband only well it’s for singing.  Ya, I know it’s karaoke but anyway, it made me realize these guys really missed the boat.  If they really wanted to make a hit game they should consider another game to add to their family of games like Rockstar, Guitar Hero, In The Movies and Lips, only this one would be called SEX STAR.

BE THE STAR OF YOUR OWN CELEBRITY SEX TAPE


That’s right …. you too can be be your own sex star and share it with your friends on the XBOX LIVE.  Be the next Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson, Amy Fisher and Kim Kardashian.   Oh come on, you know that should would sell!  Microsoft really is missing the boat not making a game like this.


But in all seriousness, overall nothing major was announced at this press conference.  At least nothing that made you go OMG or WTF.  It was a long and boring press conference with a few special little tidbits but nothing major that was worth wasting an hour and a half of my life.  Their BIG ta da was that they were going to release a version of Final Fantasy 13 for the XBox 360.  I guess to some it’s a big deal but I was more impressed that they teamed up with Netflix and NBC. I don’t know I think maybe the new be the star of your own game show might have been pretty cool as well. Playing 1 vs 100 with your new XBOX Live Avatar and 1,000 of your closest XBOX LIVE friends isn’t really such a bad idea. Microsoft may not have made any MAJOR announcements but they made enough minor ones to really make you be impressed with their XBOX.

Well my friends it seems that Mike South (as shown in the photo below in case some of you fine folks at home where actually wondering what Mike South looked like) couldn’t let sleeping dogs lie and well that’s kind of good I guess because it makes for great gossip and after all, that is what this site is about.



So it seems that after I posted my original story about Mike South calling Jesse Jane and Bree Olson frauds and made a few jabs at other talented young beauties for their lack of brains by saying things like

let’s be honest here if these pornchicks could write they wouldn’t be porn chicks


He decided to add to the story by speaking up again. Only this time he decides to dig himself in a little deeper.  In summary he states that he doesn’t really feel it was a big deal that he said what he did and he isn’t sure why people are making a big deal of it because what he revealed wasn’t a national secret or anything, everybody knows they are fakers, so that is our problem.  To be exact he said ….

Mike South blogs : Good lord y’all. You’d think I was selling some kind of national security secret to Muslims or something…I mean do ya’ll really think that the world doesn’t know they don’t write these columns? And where exactly do I call them frauds? I simply said I’d bet my last dime they didn’t write a word of it…and really…who cares?


Well apparently a lot of people care because it was the single story that caused the most people to write me. It seems that Mr. Mike South used to be on quite good terms with the lovely Jesse Jane.  Then rumor has it one day that all changed and he started calling her “fucked up” and another rumor has it that Jesse Jane’s man almost kicked Mike South’s ass for it but he ran little a little boy.  Who knows if there is any truth to these rumors but they are damn sure funny.  SO KEEP THEM COMING!!!  If nothing else they make for a great read.  Us “lesser” bloggers have to have something to do in our off time, you know?


Back to his “Who really cares” comments, I can’t help but wonder why he cares to go out of his way to keep talking trash about Jesse Jane.  Why does he care?   Is he secret in love with Jesse Jane or some shit like that?   Is the real story that she shot his ass down when he made the moves on her so now he’s obsessed with trying to discredit anything she does besides sucking cock?  It seems the official word from the Jesse Jane camp is a big fat

LOL

They don’t seem to think Mike South is even significant enough to even bother with a real response but I will say this, I think it’s a shame that Mike South is spending so much time talking trash about Jesse Jane and trying to tell her fans not to support the work she does because it’s not really her doing it.   It’s kind of a dick move.  I mean what is the real motivation behind his actions?
