Borda said there was a side of Savannah which the public wasn't privy to.
"She was Shannon in freckles and a ponytail, and then she was Savannah," noted Borda. Savannah apparently donated vast amounts of money to charities, particularly, The Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and was a noted soft touch among her friends.
"She was always paying her friends's rent, buying them clothes and picking up restaurant tabs," said Borda. "It seemed like this was expected of her."
The obituary goes on to say that she blew her brains out over a possible broken nose. I heard a different story. She and Slash, the guitarist for Guns N Roses, were an item. When he ditched her, she became despondent and wrecked her car. The car wreck messed her face up, and she killed herself over the whole thing.
I'm certainly not fond of the porno industry. I know from personal experience just how destructive it is, but let's keep in mind that not all of these people are rotten. In fact, Ron Jeremy cracks me up. I saw him at an Ozzfest several years ago, and he was introducing the bands on the second stage.
Linda Lovelace was before my time. I do recall interviews with her, though. She was a very troubled person who was taken advantage of.
Another poorly written screed by our favorite.

I don't know about demand, but there certainly is a lot of begging.
While I disagree with Schlussel's view that DT was THE cultural event of the 20th century, I will observe that DT seemed to "open the floodgates" of porn that would come shortly thereafter. It's a cliche, but porn has "gone mainstream" in today's culture: Victoria's Secret, Abercrombie & Fitch, SI's Swimsuit Issue. If DT had not been released, I wonder whether we'd have as much smut as we do today.
Have you met the beeber yet?

1) She referred to Reems by his real name and as a born-again Christian. Wrong on both counts. In a recent article in the New York Daily News, Reems stated that he kept that name because he was not going to hide from who he was. He also stated he was a Methodist, not a Christian.
2) Schlussel basically called Linda Lovelace a liar. If she was such a liar, why didn't she spend the rest of her life singing the praises of her past, as other porn stars have done? No, she wrote two books on the subject (Ordeal and Out of Bondage) and testified in front of the Meese Commission. Lovelace was not proud by any means. She attacked the industry every chance she got, and the only reason she is no longer is because she is dead.
And who cares if Lovelace's daughter was allegedly offered the lead in Deep Throat 7? She did not do it, did she? That's what matters.
His third post will be a dare to be banned (and he will get his wish).
I think we conservatives around the world should band together and think about how we are going to address the entertainment industry just as effectively as we addressed the news media. Let's be honest, technical barriers to home high quality production are falling all the time: we have more and better cheap digital equipment than ever before.
It's time to find a way to set all this free - have ambitious conservative filmmakers make their wares and broadcast them on the web.

"You may disagree with that form of expression, but that is why the first amendment exists: to protect the freedom of people to express what not everyone wants to hear. "
No it isn't. The first amendment exists in order to protect us from Congress clamping down on our political expression. Of course nowadays, political speech is being clamped down on by Congress in pursuit of "democracy" through "campaign finance reform" and porn is protected.
A more accurate post would have read: "Though you may disagree with my political expression, especially in the head of an election in which I pay good money to hammer incumbents, that is precisely what the first amendment protects."
I also note that with the subsequent interpretations of teh 14th A., we have applied teh 1st to the states and thus lost the liberty enhancing scheme of federalism. A sad day for liberty.
There was plenty of sex and plenty of procreation before porn.
And if you do a blue state/red state map together with a crime map and a porn consumption map and an abortion map, you will find, not surprisingly, that Democrat areas lead the nation in crime, porn consumption, abortion and low birth rates. Yet they claim to be having all the sex....i find that hard to believe. Two or three drug induced one nighters a year plus a lot of...porn viewing...does not constitute a fulfilling sex life. I think even sicko Democrats would agree with that.
Greed, perversion, cowardice, envy and stupidity = the Democrat base
Wow, that was good. It was much more in depth than my comment. Do you have any links you can share? I love this kind of data.
Me! Pick me!
Methodists aren't christian?
