Alaska Governor Sarah Palin received her first job offer since losing the election to become Vice President of the United States. Florida-based porn director Cezar Capone has offered Palin $2 million to appear nude in a pornographic video. Capone made the offer in an open letter to Palin on his website.
Capone said the film would be distributed internationally, shot in high definition video, and feature a “beautiful mother recognized by all of America as well as the rest of the world — the most desirable woman over 40.” VP and MILF — two acronyms we never expected to see together until this historic election year.
To prove he’s serious about the offer, Capone says he will place the money in escrow. Capone even offered to sweeten the deal by giving Palin’s husband Todd a co-starring role for an extra $100,000 and a new snowmobile.
Palin hasn’t publicly responded to the offer and is expected to reject it, if she responds at all. Hustler Magazine recently released its own Palin porn video, a spoof titled “Nailin’ Paylin” that starred a Palin look-alike.
Gerard Damiano, director of arguably the most famous pornographic film in history, has died at age 80. Damiano died Saturday at a Fort Myers hospital after having a stroke in September.
“He was a filmmaker and an artist and we thought of him as such,” his son said. “Even though we weren’t allowed to see his movies, we knew he was a moviemaker, and we were proud of that.”
“Deep Throat” was a mainstream box-office success and launched the modern XXX film industry. Damiano shot the film in six days in 1972 for just $25,000. When the movie opened in Times Square, it instantly gained attention from media critics and cultural conservatives, whose repeated legal challenges helped turn the movie into multi-million-dollar hit.
“Deep Throat” became “a cultural must-see for Americans who had just lived through the sexual liberation of the 1960s.” It also launched the brief career of its star, Linda Lovelace, who later denounced the movie in an anti-pornography crusade.
Damiano was born in New York in 1928 and worked as a hairdresser, served in the Navy, and directed several adult films. Damiano’s young son often accompanied his father on film sets, but would be ushered out during sex scenes. “We weren’t allowed to see certain parts of it,” his son said. “But my parents always felt that it was nothing to be ashamed of, what he did.”

In-flight Internet access is the hottest new thing in air travel. It lets people check email, watch their 401K evaporate, and read SexyNewz.com.
And that’s exactly what concerns the airlines. Officials are worried that airline wi-fi will turn jets into flying adult theaters. There would be no need to sneak back into the lavatory to join the mile-high club.
As a result, airlines are installing Web filters to prevent passengers from surfing porn. Flight attendants and child activists and are cheering the move. Flight attendants didn’t want to become morality cops and were worried about in-flight disruptions that would ensue by forcing passengers to turn off their porn.
But privacy rights advocates question whether blocking porn is the first step down a slippery slope. “I don’t think it makes much sense,” said Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center. “Filters do nothing to keep people from viewing inappropriate material stored on their laptops and open the door to blocking other content airlines — or others — might deem inappropriate.”
Despite having made literally hundreds of girl-on-girl porn videos, former XXX-star Jenna Jameson claims that she is not a lesbian.
“I just got a text from one of my friends on my way over here saying that she wanted to go to bed with me,” a disillusioned Jameson said at Maxim “Hot 100” party. “I think one of the big misconceptions everyone — even my friends — have of me is that I’m gay, but I am really not. I’m totally hetero.”
Jameson retired from the porn industry last year and has tried to move into mainstream acting, but with little luck. “Being taken seriously as a woman has been the hardest challenge to overcome in show business,” Jameson said. “It took me a long time to make my company successful, and even now it isn’t exactly easy.”
Part of the difficulty may be due to her radical change in appearance. After leaving the porn biz, Jameson had the implants removed from her world-famous assets and underwent a series of cosmetic surgeries that have left her face looking a bit unnatural. Sadly she’s discovering that Hollywood can be brutal for the older woman.

Forty million Americans visit an Internet porn site at least once a month. The Web contains 400 million porn pages and growing. Fifty percent of divorce cases in 2002 involved porn.
In your parents’ era, porn was limited to a few Playboy magazines hidden in the basement. In the 1980s, the VHS tape enabled porn to move into the bedroom, but it was still limited by the relatively expensive cost of porn videos. With the Internet today, any fetish and perversion that you desire is abundant, often free, and just a few mouse clicks away.
So this is a problem?
Yes, according to the new book by Wendy and Larry Maltz, “The Porn Trap: The Essential Guide to Overcoming Problems Caused by Pornography.” Porn may seem harmless at first, but it’s a slippery slope if you don’t keep yourself in check. According to the authors, here are some red flags that you may have a problem with pornography:
* You’ve become anti-social
* You’re lying to your partner
* You no longer find your partner attractive
* Your sex life with your partner is suffering
* Your concept of real intimacy has become warped
If your porn habit is causing you to neglect your partner sexually or emotionally, you should seek professional help with a therapist or sex counselor.
