Enough already Wicked Pictures with your Fake “Sex Expert”

I hate to be a bitch and I’ve quite honestly fought really hard with the other posters and owners of this site to clean up the kind of articles that get released lately at LukeFord.com.  I want the site to be an informative news source about the adult industry and not a pile of bullshit posts with rumors, slander and pissing matches that this site really used to be.  I’m really happy to say that over the last year things have really cleaned up the site.  But that doesn’t mean from time to time we have to speak out and point out some negative issues that go on in our industry and today is a perfect example of that.

It’s an election year and that means porn is always in the spotlight and anything any of us do can be a huge problem because the media or some jack ass politician looking for an easy target can make it out to be a bigger issue than it really is.
I’ve been seeing a lot of press releases lately from Wicked Pictures promoting one of their contract stars as a sex expert.  Today I seen a blog post calling her an “Emerging Sexual Wellness Authority”.  That bothers me.

Turns out it is a felony for anyone to pretend to be a medical expert when they are not.  You can’t just going around saying you are a doctor when you aren’t or in this particular case without actually saying “doctor” they are instead implying expert or authoritative knowledge in this specific area of study which is usually attributed to those with a degree in psychology or related area of study.  So telling people you are an authority when you aren’t really can be a very big deal … perhaps even fraud and a felony.

So today when I seen this porn star promoting them self as an “Emerging Sexual Wellness Authority” it really bugged me a lot.  This bothers me greatly because in the end the actions of those in the spotlight in our industry has great influence over all of our lives and careers.

If someone goes around pretending they are an expert or promotes themselves as a doctor or some kind of actual medical expert and they aren’t, then it can have a negative impact on all of us.  Because much like the condom issue, we have all seen how quickly an issue can get out of hand.  All it takes is the right fuck up in the wrong hands and things can get ugly really quick.

I have 52 different press releases from Wicked Pictures that in some way shape or form refer to Jessica Drake as a “sexual wellness authority”.  Not 1, not 2, not 10 but FIFTY TWO!!!!!!!

I looked into it before making this post just to make sure I’m not mistaken but as I suspected, it turns out Jessica Dake, who has been promoting themselves as a “sexual wellness authority” doesn’t have a degree in that area of study or actually any degree at all from what I can find.

Despite some people in our industry like say Dr. Victoria Zdrok who actually has a PhD in Clinical Psychology who also happens to be a former Playboy Playmate and Penthouse Pet of the Year.  She also did a few adult movies as well.  But again she has a PhD and that makes her an actual AUTHORITY on sexual wellness.

Apparently just having sex with a lot of men makes this porn star and Wicked Pictures and their related PR team feel entitled to call her an “Emerging Sexual Wellness Authority” and that is a huge problem.

We have enough issues in our industry right now … do we really need to add to it by letting the mainstream media or politicians know that a porn star who no degree in this area of study and has spent years in a damaging relationship with a married man, is claiming to be an “authority on sexual wellness”?

She isn’t a doctor.  She has no degree of study in this field.  SO QUIT PROMOTING HER AS AN AUTHORITY IN THIS FIELD!  SHE’S A PORN STAR NOT A CERTIFIED MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL  Believe it or not there is a major difference between the two.

Sucking a lot of cock doesn’t make you an authority on sexual wellness.  Nor does sleeping with a married man make you an expert of relationships.  It actually kinda makes you just the opposite but that’s another story for another day.

I have no problem with porn stars.  Love them.    In fact, I’ve worked very hard to help many of them improve their lives for years now.  Think what they do is great but trying to saying a porn star is an expert on sexual wellness is just asking for trouble and more government regulation or other related troubles for our industry.

There are a lot of porn stars out there who are highly educated with advanced degrees.  And to those girls I say good for them!   I truly hope that one day you can use those advanced degrees like Victoria Zdrok has done and combine what she has learned in the porn industry with her degrees to write books and even get hired as a legal expert and she regularity speaks on the talk show circuit and I think writes article son sexual wellness for Penthouse too – well at least she did for awhile.

But for those of you who don’t have a degree in clinical psychology or a related field, just being a porn star doesn’t make you an authority on all matters.  You make be able to suck a hell of a cock but that’s a far cry from an authority on sexual wellness.

So to make this clear so there is no confusion … while there are porn stars with advanced degrees, Jessica Drake does not seem to have one, at least not one that I found after reading numerous published biographies and interviews about her.  She most especially does not have a degree in psychology or any related medical field that make make her an expert or authority on sexual wellness.  She’s a porn star.  Making porn is her area of expertise.  Sexual wellness is not and continuing to say you are is fraudulent and quite possibly criminal.

And calling me a bitch doesn’t make this fact any less true.  Fraud is fraud and liking me or not liking me doesn’t really change that.

 

 

 

That’s one long court case!

Six Years Later, Jill Kelly Productions Bankruptcy Case Closes

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. — Jill Kelly Productions filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy six years ago, but,according to www.xbiz.com the final decree closing the case was just signed off.

After accounting and legal fees were added up and paid out, only $109,000 remained to pay off unsecured claims.

Numerous secured claims were disallowed, including those from adult studio X-Gen LLC and International Video Innovations, as well as Canyon Capital Marketing Inc., American Suzuki Financial Services and Chrysler Capital Marketing Inc.

X-Gen, owned by Frank and Michael Koretsky, who also own International Video Distributors, had about $500,000 in secured claims.

After the Chapter 11 filing in 2005, Penthouse agreed to pay $1.765 million at a bankruptcy court auction for the major assets of JKP. Those assets included more than 200,000 burned and packaged DVDs, as well as 65 unreleased masters.

Beware of making cross sale deals with Penthouse or AFF

You would assume that now that Adult Friend Finder is owned by Penthouse you wouldn’t still be hearing about them scamming people still, but you would be wrong.   After what I heard today, it really makes one think twice now about having anything to do with any division of Penthouse, not just the blatant scammers like Adult Friend Finder.  I really thought much more highly of Penthouse … well, until now.  I guess looking back on it, when I heard the story on TMZ about Penthouse being busted for hiring men to pretend like they are women online, and they have been doing it since the day they launched their site, duping who knows how many thousands and thousands of consumers into thinking they were talking to real women, that I should have suspected they were just as shady as AFF but for some reason I just had more faith in the Penthouse brand.

There is a thing in the adult industry known as cross sales.   A lot of times these cross sale deals are made in a sort of, you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours kind of deal.

In short, website A offers a consumer the opportunity to join website B for a great discount, sometimes free for 1 to 3 days, sometimes for just a $1.  In return website B pays website A a kickback or commission of typically $20 to $25.  Website B is banking on the fact that the consumer in question will love their website so much they will stay a member and in return, they will make their money back on the full membership price and any recurring months they may stay a member after that.

Sounds simple enough, right?  Well really it is, but the problem with this system is when you have a company like Adult Friend Finder, who will go to people and trade favors for things they want of rather good value, say for example if a company owned a content company as well and AFF might say, reduce my cost on this huge amount of content I just bought from you and in return I’ll send you a ton of new members through a cross sale deal.   The problem is AFF sends over fake sales.

So now the guy just gave AFF a huge discount, losing thousands of dollars on content in return for, nothing.  Actually worse than nothing, in return for a large number of chargebacks.

What AFF is doing is bullying new members into joining a series of websites, as many as 8 “FREE TRIALS” to activate their membership and talk to other members.  They promise, you won’t have to pay for anything, just join and then cancel right away.

See what they just did there?  Now website B just got themselves a whole bunch of members fraudulently.

How fucked up is that?

So before you sit down and consider making any deals with any Penthouse owned websites including Penthouse, Adult Friend Finder or Danni.com, just keep in mind this story you just heard because you could be the sucker who gets scammed by them next!

Why are there so many fucking liars in our business?

Have you ever noticed how totally and completely full of shit people are sometimes?

People give themselves titles and act and then get so full of themselves they sort of start to buy into their own bullshit.

While it is true a lot of the world is full of dumb shits like this but the adult industry seems to have a large number of them.

Not a single day goes by in a week that I don’t check my email and have some new outstanding claim, like the director who claims to invented the entire parody genre, despite the fact that he’s only been directing movies since 2004.

Apparently he forgot that for the previous 10 or 15 years companies like VCA and Sinderella had been putting out parodies themselves.  Hell even Vivid had some pornographic parodies in the 1990’s.

Can’t remember any of the details off of the top of my head right now but I can recall a Buffy The Vampire Slayer parody.   Buffy The Vampire Slayer was a series on TV from 1997 to 2003 so since it was off the air before he even started directing, how the fuck could Will Ryder possibly have created the entire parody genre.  Are you fucking kidding me?

But you know he’s not alone.  He isn’t the only one out there blowing enormous amounts of smoke up our asses.

Who remembers the bullshit press releases from Vivid over the past few years with news of sales that weren’t true?  Wasn’t like the Montana Fishburne bullshit story of 50,000 units sold was the first time they bullshitted about their numbers.   Now the person who used to be in charge of their sales has moved on and as of late he seems to have a big interest in Penthouse DVD and even making some Vivid style big claims of his own.  Triple their sales almost overnight?  Really?  After being fed so many fucking lies over the years from his team I’m going to have to call bullshit on this one as well.

I know people say it’s all a part of the PR game but really how effective is lies as a strategy?  I would think that after so many years of bullshit that people start seeing those people as a joke who they have no respect for.  So since they lied so fucking much now people lost respect for them so how the fuck is that working out for them as a PR strategy?

So it got me thinking.  Why do people do this?  And why is it so common in the adult business?

This chick I know always goes on about how a person is only as good as their word.  She says it a lot and it used to annoy the fuck out of me but you know maybe that bitch was on to something.  I mean fuck how many more fucking times a day can we go through a day when some dip shit isn’t trying to feed us a line of bullshit?

I got an email today with what they called an “important update”.  Really?  You think it is really “important”?  Important to who?  I visited your site and it isn’t even a Page Rank 1 site.  So how fucking important is your site really?  If you can’t even figure out how to get your site a page rank 1 and it’s been around since 2004, how fucking important can your site really be?

Next I noticed your site talked about having over 300 full length movies for your members so I decided to check out your movies page.  When the fuck did a 7 minute scene count as full length?  And I’m not just being a dick here, this site had about 40 listed as newly added about of those 40, not any of them were longer than 12 minutes and most of them were about 7 minutes.

I can remember when people would bitch about a 20 minute scene being to short.  But we have come to accept scenes as 7 to 12 minutes as full length.  What the fuck is wrong with people?

Man there are some lazy ass, lying fuckers in this business.
