The new “Rat” mascot from the new label Black Rat video for two year old Black Scorpion Video needs a name with distinctive personality.

Fans may enter as often as they like by emailing their suggestions. Deadline for entries is Sept. 30. One winner will be picked by Black Scorpion's owners.

The winner will receive a prize pack of all seven Black Scorpion and Black Rat DVDs: Dreams of Rafael, Obsession of D.O., Man Island, Hunger, Cuma Sutra, the soon-to-be-released Sex Hiker and the first Black Rat feature, Sex Sessions, Vol. 1.

So when we launched Black Rat Video, a contest to name the mascot felt like a great way to involve our loyal fans from the beginning."

Manhunt Founder Donates Maximum to McCain’s Campaign

What the Fuck! Are you telling me that the gayest site on the web supports the anti-gay Republican? It’s all true. Jonathan Crutchley has donated the maximum personal donation allowable $2300 to John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign.

Crutcheley states “I believe McCain will be a better commander-in-chief than Obama, who also opposes gay marriage. If we have an experienced, seasoned person defending the country in this dangerous age, we will be able to argue about the gay agenda later. Yes, I am a Massachusetts Republican, which is about the same as being an Alabama Democrat. But don't call me a ‘liberal.’ That's an insult.”

Michael Joseph Gross article posted on Out.com says “Crutchley, a liberal Republican with a tight white beard, admits that he felt anxious during Manhunt’s first years, before his and [Larry] Basile’s initial investment of $800,000 bore fruit. Now, seated at his desk and surrounded by giant photographs of body builders’ glutes, Crutchley says the company brings in at least $2.4 million per month — almost $30 million a year — not counting ad revenues, and prospects for growth are strong. Manhunt’s success measures the extent to which online cruising has changed gay urban social life. Is it changing gay politics too?”

PlanetOut Faces NASDAQ Delisting

Jett Blakk Goes to the Mat for new Release

Award winning Jett Blakk wrapped production on his latest hit title for Dirty Bird Pictures call Ringleader. Ringleader takes its queues from the wrestling circuit in rural America and features some of the hottest, muscle bound men in skin tight wrestling gear.

Ringleader is Dirty Bird’s first production starring the men of its highly popular Active Duty line. “The idea of a crossover starring Active Duty models is something I’ve wanted to do since we started Dirty Bird Pictures,” reveals Dink Flamingo, Dirty Bird’s owner.

Blakk is the master of story porn and developed the script from an alleged true story from one of the Active Duty models about a corrupt wrestling circuit manager who forced his performers to have sex with him to get headlined in the show. “Dink asked me to use that story as the basis for the film. My idea was to add some “Fight Club” action in the the mix and go from there” says Blakk. He also says “the Cast was one of the most attractive I’ve ever worked with. Even my crew was gushing over them.”

This video is sure to make you go down for the count and will be released this Fall in a 2 disc set and will include bonus items and an outrageous one hour behind the scenes featurette, six extended wrestling matches not seen in the movie. Also for the first time in Dirty Bird production, audio commentary by the Active Duty models with Director Blakk and Dirty Bird’s Flamingo.

Porn-A-Thon help fight California’s Prop 8

The Leather/ Levi’s bar “The Faultline Bar” in L.A will host it’s annual Pornathon Lot Party Aug.17th. Proceeds from the event will be used to support the work of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force fight to defeat California’s Prop 8 that would ban same sex marriages.

"I am the first to admit a queasy cynicism at the idea of the ‘normalizing' of gay culture, which ‘marriage' in general represents to many," said Faultline owner Shawn Farnsworth. "But even though I do not see marriage, per se, as a defining life pattern for myself, I have come to recognize that it nonetheless embodies an acknowledgment of our fundamental equality and civil rights as gay people in a way that no other legal or social institution could possibly offer. Marriage is a fundamental social cornerstone that even the religious right cannot deny. The very fact that they hate the idea of gay marriage so much indicates its power as an institution to challenge the status quo and change minds - even our own, about ourselves."

Companies that have signed up to support the event include Titan Media, whose exclusive Tony Buff will headline the event. Titan also has donated multiple sets of the Folsom series DVDs and its entire collection of Blu-ray Disc films for the auction. During Pornathon, Buff will autograph copies of the new 2009 TitanMen calendar, in which he is Mr. January."Shawn and his team at the Faultline have always been at the forefront of giving back to the community," said Titan Media vice president Keith Webb. "We are proud to be a part of such a worthwhile event. Marriage equality is a civil rights issue and one we wholeheartedly support. In fact, our general counsel, Gill Sperlein, will marry his partner Carlos in October, so this has very personal meaning for us all.

Looks like a great way to use porn to support a very worthy cause!

Florida Art Gallery Owner gets Arrested for Erotic Art

The debate of what is and what isn’t art has been debated literally forever and still goes on to this day. Art Gallery William Schramm was arrested for allowing a nude man hanging from a ceiling in his erotic art gallery (who hasn’t done this?).

Critics fear he is giving erotic art a bad name."The sensationalism is what's being discussed," said Gonzalez-Tiernan, Lesbian Orgy Photographer. "It's no longer about the art."

Police arrested Schramm during an art opening Friday night at his 2501 Gallery on Central Avenue. He was charged with battery of a law enforcement officer and unlawful exposure of private parts, a violation of a city ordinance that prohibits the display of genitals where alcohol is served.

Schramm said he merely tried to show a police officer how to push the door open. Police said Schramm touched the officer's arm and tried to prevent him from entering.

Police found nude model Joshua Culotta sitting in a swing hanging from the ceiling. It was the second time that night police visited the gallery. An officer first complained about an 8-foot-tall penis outside near the entrance. Schramm said it was art and refused to move it.

Naomi Wilzig, founder of the World Erotic Art Museum in edgy South Beach said she avoids live performances and does not display erotic images where children might see them.
"People are still frightened by the word erotic, people still think its pornographic, even here in South Beach," she said."I feel strongly about this form of art," Schramm's said. "I feel very strongly that there is a stigma attached to it that shouldn't be there … but I am willing to deal

Cole Ryder Loved by all and will be Missed

I came home for vacation to learn the bad news of Superstud Cole Ryder’s untimely death. Ryder died Wednesday at the very early age of 35, details are sketchy at this point, former Rascal Exclusive Cole Ryder died of a staph infection in his sleep Update: Cause of death remains unknown, is pending results of an autopsy.

Formerly a flight attendant and personal trainer, Ryder was discovered by C1R director Doug Jeffries at a gym in Los Angeles. Immediately overcome by Ryder's masculine good looks, toned body and megawatt smile, Jeffries introduced him to LaRue, who cast him in a scene opposite Johnny Hazzard in Leather Sessions. The movie was Ryder's first gay-porn experience.

Bang, who cast Ryder in two films and had planned to cast him in many more under a special arrangement with Rascal, also praised Ryder's professionalism."I have never worked with anyone who was that professional and ready to do whatever it took to get the best possible scene," he said. "He had a unique deep-and-warm masculine voice. I remember him coming in to the set of In the Zone on the day when he was only scheduled to do his stills and offering to do a cum-shot as we were shooting background sex club footage. We were doing this with a moving camera and 12 models in the shot. He timed his cum-shot perfectly to happen as the camera came to him. This was with no preparation at all."

For all his maturity on-set, though, Ryder remained a kid at heart, according to Jeffries, who maintained not only a professional relationship with Ryder but also a close personal one."He loved Disneyland and Universal Studios," Jeffries said. "His favorite time was Halloween at [those two places]. He was just a big teddy bear of a guy."Added C1R director of public relations Andrew Moore, "Cole was such a genuine person with an amazing heart. He made a lasting impression on me and I will never forget all the times we shared. He will be greatly missed, and although I only knew him a short time, I feel honored that I was able to know him at all. Cole's legacy will forever live on in his works and the hearts of his friends, family and fans."

Raging Stallion cast New Gay Western “To the Last Man”

Based on a novel of the same title by Zane Grey this blockbuster gay porn epic will cost $200K to make. The story is a classic western full of violence and conflict as two rival gangs of cowboys battle to see who ends up on top.

There is one scene in particular that is very upsetting," he added, declining to elaborate about the nature of the scene.”

Massachusetts now Allows Out of State Gays to Marry

Massachusetts wanted to get some of that gay marriage money so they put repealing that 1913 bigoted law in overdrive. By a huge margin, the Massachusetts House sends to Gov. Deval Patrick repeal of a law that bars out-of-state gay couples from marrying in the state.

The Massachusetts House voted Tuesday to repeal a law that had prohibited out-of-state gay couples from legally marrying in the Bay State.

By a margin of 118-35, legislators voted down the 1913 law, which nullified any marriage performed in Massachusetts that was not legal in a couple's home state. The state Senate approved repeal earlier this month and the bill is likely to reach Gov. Deval Patrick, who has pledged to sign it, within a week.

Manhunt Launches New Amateur Porn Site

Manhunt has launched OnTheHunt, a new porn site that features real amateur Manhunt members hooking up and getting filmed by Gay Porn Stars like Matthew Rush.

“We are excited to launch a new type of porn site that is markedly different than anything available today," said Manhunt chief executive officer Adam Segel. "We are offering content that features real men, the kind you see on Manhunt every day. And we have already received thousands of applications."

"We don't coach the guys, rehearse or primp them," Blumenthal, OnTheHunt’s webmaster explained. "These are real amateur hook-ups filmed as they happen. We want to capture the entire hook-up as they are experiencing it, from beginning to end."

The hunt for amateurs began earlier this year with a Manhunt recruitment campaign. Manhunt invited selected members to appear in the videos, offering them the chance to have a gay performer visit their home to film the sexual encounter."We heard from all sizes, shapes and colors, as well as men into every kind of fetish scene," Blumenthal said. "Jocks, twinks, bears, pigs, leather guys, intergenerational couples, interracial couples, tattooed boys, muscle men, daddies and more - all wanting to appear in the videos."

"You never know what or who you will see on OnTheHunt," Segel said. "It may be the guy you've seen on Manhunt that you always wanted to hook up with. It may be your next-door neighbor, or maybe even one of your friends. OnTheHunt allows men access into Manhunt members' most intimate lives."

Knoxville Killer’s 4 Page Letter Outlines Hatred of “Liberal Movement”

Adkisson, 58, of Powell wrote a four-page letter in which he stated his "hatred of the liberal movement," Owen said. "Liberals in general, as well as gays."

Inside the house, officers found "Liberalism is a Mental Health Disorder" by radio talk show host Michael Savage, "Let Freedom Ring" by talk show host Sean Hannity, and "The O'Reilly Factor," by television talk show host Bill O'Reilly.

It truly is a testament on how powerful hate and negative speech is and how it affects people. He targeted the church because of their advocacy for racial harmony, gay rights, and emergency aid for the needy, school tutoring and support for the homeless, as well as a cafe that provides a gathering place for gay and lesbian high-schoolers.

My prayers and wishes go out to the friends and family of all the victims of this senseless violence.
