Every day there are more and more articles being posted on the Internet about how the new video iPod will be taken over by porn. Last Friday, I was even contacted by a reporter at NY Daily News to get my opinion on whether porn will become popular for the iPod. From this, I have determined that it’s time for me to publish my opinion.

The Playstation Portable (PSP) has been out on the market for quite some time now. In my past 7 months as a sex blogger, constantly monitoring the news, I have yet to see much interest over whether the existence of porn for the PSP will become a problem for the moral ‘majority’. In fact, there are so many sites that offer free porn for the PSP, that Sony issued a press release saying that “It is utterly undesirable, but we cannot stop software makers from selling such videos“.

So why does everyone suddenly care so much about the new video iPod? Are people afraid that iTunes will allow porn to be sold in their music store or are people upset that the porn will be downloadable for free? It seems that people are assuming that just because it is possible to watch porn on the iPod, people will be watching it in public places… has anyone heard of this happening with the PSP? I certainly haven’t.

Welcome to Hype City, USA. Home of the war on terror.

It is true, however, that there have been numerous incidents of people watching porn DVDs in their cars. In fact, some states and trying to make a major crackdown:

Some municipalities have taken up the similar issue of people accidentally seeing porn on someone else’s in-car DVD player. This year, Tennessee outlawed the display of obscene movies from a car, and the City Council in Flint, Mich., passed a measure imposing a $500 fine on drivers who play pornographic movies in their cars.

Similarly, ‘concerned Christian’ parents’ groups are afraid that people who watch porn on the iPod will be exposing children to hardcore sex at an early age… I’m sorry, have these people seen the size of a video iPod screen? The truth is that children will probably see it anyways, why worry about the iPod so much? On my last trip, I was reading Playboy’s October issue in public on my flight… I doubt anyone even noticed.

Well, Wired hit the nail on the head this morning with their article on porn for the video iPod. They say that porn producers are actually staying away from formatting films for the video iPod because they are afraid of further scrutiny from the government and parents’ groups. This isn’t to say that they will stay away forever, but that they need to establish safeguards (eg. credit card age verification) in order to gain respect from those who want to shut them down.

Wired also interviewed the chairman of the Free Speech Coalition to see what he had to say on the topic:

“The real problem is, there is a small group of people who believe that any sexually oriented material is an offense to God, and they have a great sway with Congress, which is already hostile to the material,” he said. “Unfortunately, citizens who like to watch people have sex — and there are many more of them — do not flood city hall and say, ‘I don’t want to make it harder to access that material.’”

That’s what I’ve been saying for months. It’s not that everyone agrees that porn should be banned, it’s that porn-watching is so taboo in our culture that to speak out against the anti-porn groups is to embarass oneself.

Now, if I was a parent… I would be more concerned about porn on the PSP. The PSP is something catering more to children than to adults. Remember, an iPod is not a gaming device… it’s an entertainment device. Even so, kids still have to learn how to put porn on their mobile devices… if anything it would help them learn how to read!

Sorry, kids, but don’t expect a video iPod in your Christmas stocking this year!

Tales from a St. John’s, Newfoundland, strip club:

A strip club in St. John’s has been fined $6,000 on two charges of violating an obscure part of the Criminal Code. Bubbles Gentlemen’s Club was charged in April with violating section 167 of the Criminal Code, which deals with what’s called “immoral theatrical performance.”

Montreal stripper Marie-Andrée Lauriault – who works under the stage name Tangerine Dream – performed explicit shows using sex toys in February and April. Lauriault was also charged after the performances, but the charges against her with withdrawn.

Bob Simmonds, a St. John’s lawyer who represented Lauriault, said earlier this year it is rare for anyone to be charged with “immoral theatrical performance.”

In the last Tangerine Dream show, Lauriault attempted to set what she called a “gang-bang record.” Witnesses said 177 men and women lined up along the Bubbles stage to penetrate Lauriault with a sex toy.

Wait a minute… did this happen at a strip club? Did these 177 men have to pay to contribute to the record or was it volunteer? Honestly, sometimes the news is too brief on interesting articles such as this.

The strange thing about this article is that the title is “Strip club fined over sex-toy performances”, but I think the most shocking part of the story is the fact that the last Tangerine Dream show was a huge gangbang! (I wonder if it was sponsored by KY…).

Honestly, who cares about a few measly sex toys when the strip club hosted a gangbang?

This CBC article is actually very badly written… it’s missing so much information. Besides being a stripper in St. John’s, Tangerine Dream is also a former porn actress. Did the CBC bother doing any background research on this? Apparently not. Still, I’m intrigued to hear more details…

Update: Charges on the St. John’s strip club and Ms. Lauriault have been dropped. However, owners of the strip club must pay a fine of $7,500. (Link: www.cbc.ca)

Kudos to this guy and his effort to outwit the evilgelical Christians:

A 39-year-old man from Ofoten created a web site for the Inner Norwegian Seamen’s Church, a Christian mission for coastal sailors. Then he published pornographic photographs on the page, newspaper Troms Folkebladet reports.

Once this was done, he called the missionary group and claimed hackers had broken into the system, posted pornography, and that expert help was needed.

The man then charged the mission a total of NOK 84,000 (USD 13,000) as a deposit for this job, which Ofoten court ruled he never had any intention of carrying out.

For this and other frauds, the 39-year-old was sentenced to five months in prison, and ordered to pay the money back to the church.

Doesn’t this sound like some kind of homework for Fight Club space monkeys? Now that’d be some clever homework indeed… perhaps there’s a Hack Club out there who are up for the challenge. It’d be a great way to fight back against the war on porn… stop hassling the porn community or the space monkeys will hack into your Christian web sites and post porn!!!

Remember… The first rule of Hack Club is - you do not talk about Hack Club. The second rule of Hack Club is - you DO NOT talk about Hack Club.

It’s a shame that this guy was found out… but then again, he should never have done it and asked for money… he should have followed Nike’s advice and just done it.

I wish to apologize to anyone who wasn’t able to download Kitkast from LibSyn this morning. It seems that Wilma was to blame:

libsyn.com has been affected by Hurricane Wilma. Our datacenters are in florida, and apparently the power outage there brought us down. We are investigating as to why backup generators and other precautions did not prevent this outage. As soon as we know something we will let you know. We are sorry for the inconvenience, More updates on this coming.

That said. Now I know why I always preferred Betty Rubble…

Below: Close-up of Ms. Kitka.

Last month, my erotic dance instructor invited her star pupils to participate in an interview and demonstration for the Montreal Gazette. I was very excited and even plugged mskitka.com to the reporter just in case she felt the need to talk about the diverse kinds of women in the class. Unfortunately for me, though, the image the reporter was looking for was not the image I was portraying. Instead the reporter was more interested in the women who were least likely to be taking the class… the mother, the older woman and the student.

The frightening thing, though, is that the reporter was not reporting, she was dictating what the article would be. She often re-worded phrases and “quotes” that were said in the interview to make them seem more pertinent to the point she wanted to get to. If she wanted to play the educated card, I could have played it… I could have neglected to mention anything about my sex blog and video-podcast and told her about the other me - the me that works for diplomats, has a university degree and speaks multiple languages. But, no… I thought that diversity was more interesting so instead of telling her what everyone else was already saying, I discussed my blog and the national gold medals I won in synchronized swimming and martial arts (the main reasons why I have such coordination and flexibility to pull off the erotic dancing).

Like I said, though, she wasn’t interested in outgoing national champions and sexperts.

However, the women she did decide to talk about were great women indeed, including a smart young friend of mine studying nanoparticles. But, instead of celebrating the diversity of women in the class she decided to portray the women as all being shy educated ladies who seem to be complete opposites of actual professional erotic dancers. The problem with this train of thought, though, is that most strippers are educated… they are students!

When the reporter (Monique Polak) was interviewing the girls, she did not record any of the discussion. Instead, she took notes on the back of used paper, altered quotes to suit her article and filled in the blanks. After the interview, the girls were flabbergasted and afraid of what she would end up printing! Luckily the article didn’t turn out too badly… but one problem still remains: the article was fabricated from a pre-conceived idea.

Doesn’t this outline the mainstream media perfectly…

Although I am horrifyingly disappointed with the media these days and their inability to thoroughly exercise their first amendment rights due to a fear of losing subscriptions and funds raised from selling advertising space, I was pleased to receive an e-mail from Ms. Tracy Connor of the NY Daily News on Friday for my opinion on the future of iPod porn. Unfortunately, I received the e-mail a little late in the day and got her answering machine when I finally had a chance to call her in New York.

As bitter as I am about the mainstream media, I was very flattered that Connor took the time to try and consult me… I believe that we do need more media-blogger cooperation in the world to keep the media from becoming over-regulated. Hell, isn’t that the whole problem with the United Nations and NASA these days? The world has become too bureaucratic for its own good.
