Recently, this man was determined to give himself to me as a "slave":




I like taking people seriously. So on Monday afternoon Budd took him to get this tattoo:




I changed the design to include the latin phrase "Omne Ignotum Pro Magnifico".

Budd videotaped the tattooing showing the transformation of a man into livestock. Here are a few pics of his face as he feels the first prick of the needle.








The name we've given him is "will". Here are a few more pics from the tattoo session.







The Romans called slaves "instrumenti genus vocale": tools that can talk. To be honest, I don't think this one will be doing much talking. I'm sending him to IML next week.

Help Still Wanted

AdultJobing.com wants you! Imagine: $3000 a minute, all the free Champagne you can drink and soft pretzels with mustard you can eat. All this and more with a new agency that recruits talent for the express purpose of performing in porn. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. (Really!) It’s high-tech. It’s efficacious in drawing large numbers of new talent. And as The New York Times – a surprising font of Adult Entertainment news - pointed out recently, “As pornography becomes a more mainstream product, it becomes an equally mainstream career.” And that’s precisely what makes this marketing blitz so remarkable. They’re going to advertise on MTV, for Christ’s sake! Porn has arrived! Can I get a hallelujah?! Of course, Porn in popular culture is not new, to be sure. Howard Stern – who has been very good to and for porn overall – has been hosting porn stars for years. (When he first started doing that was also a Hallelujah moment.) But that’s what we expect from Mssr. Stern – shock. And he delivers. But when the same people who watch College Hill are also being recruited for Cum Dieticians 4 or Bareback Bunny Poachers you know that something’s afoot. And this is very, very good. Because America’s unhealthy relationship with sex ultimately needs addressing and if it’s that campy thing called Porn that does it so be it!

Help Wanted

Do you dream porn? Do you dream of being in porn? Did everyone tell you you’re “porn star” material? Well, if you answered ‘yes’ to any of these three questions then you may have what it takes to lead an exciting life in porn! Adultingjobing.com, an electronic employment agency – in a Match-dot-com sort of way – has hit the big time cable circuit with an ad starring Ron Jeremy asking the next generation of porn and pornish-like actors and actresses to register with their agency. Coincidentally, in lieu of a resume, you just have to send a picture – naked preferably – and off you are! AVN is reporting that the ads have been shown on BET and Spike TV with plans soon for MTV, MTV2, The Comedy Channel and others. It’s pretty remarkable, actually. Dare I say…historic? I mean, most people who watch BET, MTV, (hell cable!) are being sold a career in porn alongside fast food, beer, really cheap car insurance and now Porn. If you ever thought of a career in heating, ventilation, air-conditioning and Porn, please call the number below. Or visit our website!

The Adult Industry is at an unusual juncture in its maturation. The gates to mainstream culture have opened and this is of a significance that few have noticed. Or, perhaps, cared not to in the off chance retaliation strikes by way of the noise the excitement creates and then some committee steps in to regulate advertising content on cable.

The Other Internet

I’m a big fan of Sandra Bullock. Just not of her movies. For some reason she manages to pick ones that probably read well during the delicate negotiations process conducted by studios but fail to incite anything beyond ennui at the box office – Hope Floats, Practical Magic, Speed 2: Cruise Control and The Net. And I liked the premise behind The Net, too. It hit a nerve that few were thinking about at the time – that should you lose your identity in the online machinations of cyberspace you’re basically fucked. It tapped into a universal fear that has only magnified over the last decade or so since the movie’s release.

And that’s what I was thinking about the other day when I typed in “men of color” in my Google search bar and discovered that I had been completely removed from the results page. Up until then I was pleased, proud even that MOC Blog was the number one result out of about 90 million results. And then it got me thinking: What if an Internet giant like Google decided to take action against the Adult Entertainment industry as a whole. They’ve already banned AdSense from adult sites. And I’m sure there was a price to pay for bucking President Bush’s request to turn over certain records as they relate to adult site searches. But let’s say they decided to omit the search results of any and all adult sites. Then what? What sort of collective bargaining power would we have? What if our identities were erased so to speak? Perhaps it’s my newfound paranoia at having been jettisoned from Google (until I find out what the problem is) but I can’t help but think that all this interconnectedness has a very dark side. And we’re not talking Butt Fuckers 3.
