With
great fanfare, U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan
in Pittsburgh announced on August 7 "a major obscenity
prosecution." While Buchanan's stinking cunt is
far more obscene than the defendants in this forthcoming
case, she does have the advantage of working for
the Fed's Bible-banging ballbreaker, John Ashcroft,
who is determined to take another crack at wiping
out smut.
This case could be the first blow in a new effort
of America's Moral Squad to dismantle the porn biz.
On the other hand, with 
any
luck, Buchanan and Ashcroft will end up looking
like the pathetic, sniveling blue noses they are.
It will come as no surprise to porn watchers that
the spoo auteurs about to land in the dock are Rob
Black and his wife Lizzy Borden from Extreme Associates,
the house of horrors that features incest, rape,
violence and piss-drinking in their DVDs.
Last April forty-seven federal marshals and postal
inspectors from Pittsburgh along with fluffers from
the Los Angeles police department arrived at Extreme's
headquarters with a search
warrant. They took away sales records and five vids
for their case: EXTREME TEEN 24, COCKTAILS 2,
ASS CLOWNS 3, 1001 WAYS TO EAT MY JIZZ and Lizzy
Borden's notorious homage to serial killer Richard
Ramirez, FORCED ENTRY. As Rob Black pointed
out, the cost of flying these forty-seven federal
thugs in from Pittsburgh and housing them in an
L.A. hotel for ten days so they could issue a search
warrant likely cost the taxpayers several hundred
thousand dollars.
Black and Borden have been charged with nine counts
of 
distributing
pornography through the mail and on the Internet.
There is also a tenth charge: conspiracy to commit
crimes. The feds love to toss in a conspiracy charge
to juice up a case. If found guilty on all counts,
the hubby & wife porn team could get 50 years
in prison along with a five-million-dollar fine.
Likely that will never happen, but this strategy
typical of the fascists in the Justice department
is designed to force the defendants to cop a plea
on lesser charges along with driving the company
out of business with a big fine.
Although there has not been a major porn case brought
by the feds over the last 20 years, Ashcroft made
it clear when he came into office he would target
the cum brigade. It might have happened last year
but for Saddam Hussein. Now that Iraq has been pacified,
it's time to turn the guns on the enemies within
who are shredding America's moral fiber. Referring
to the indictment of Black and Borden, Ashcroft
said this "marks an important step in the Department
of Justice's strategy for attacking the proliferation
of adult obscenity. The Justice Department will
continue to focus our efforts on targeted obscenity
prosecutions that will deter others from producing
and distributing obscene material."
This won't deter anybody from churning out porn,
but the word "targeted" is the key to his strategy.
In effect, at least for now, the focus will be on
porn that is over the top, as illustrated by the
following three indicted Extreme DVDs.
Lizzy Borden's bash & slash FORCED ENTRY
leaps into the galaxy of fatal rottenness with porn-dude
Luciano playing a serial killer who overpowers Jewel
De'Nyle, rapes her, pisses on her face and suffocates
her with a plastic bag. Next up Taylor St. Claire
plays a pregnant girl who gets her stomach beaten
in by Luciano and one of his gang buddies, the deranged
Mickey G. The third scene, the climax so to speak,
features Veronica Caine getting cut up with a knife
and left in a pool of blood.
Last year a PBS crew working on a Frontline documentary,
American Porn, visited Borden's set when
she was filming the climax. The crew was so appalled
by the "gutting" of Veronica they walked off the
set. More to the point, they filmed themselves taking
a powder which gave their documentary a load of
authentic disgust and generated great publicity
for FORCED ENTRY, which has now sold over
30,000 copies.
The box cover of EXTREME TEEN 24
is a work of comedy John Ashcroft simply can't
appreciate: the usual 23-year-old girls dressed
to look thirteen surrounded by teddy bears fucking
each other. In one scene porn girl Brie breaks
away from her chalk drawing on the sidewalk to
give a perv a blow job. Cut to pig-tailed Black
Cat sucking on a pacifier in a kiddie tent getting
butt-fucked by a guy who wins her over by giving
her a Pokemon magazine.
Veronica Caine shows up again in COCKTAIL
2, this time
starting off a pedestrian double penetration.
The boys have enough cum left to blow through
a funnel into her mouth, then feed the remains
of a spit bowl into a tube which gets stuffed
up her ass and then again shoved into her mouth.
This triple wammy offers rape, murder, kid fucking
and water sports. What kind of review will the
grand jury give these DVDs? Hard to say, but the
vids also include "blooper" scenes at the end
with the degraded girls laughing and joking about
their performances. There's also Lizzy Borden's
intriguing defense of FORCED ENTRY: "If
you watch it and don't fast forward, and if you
think about it, you'll see there's a moral to
it."
I suppose Extreme's "Fatal Five" DVDs do illustrate
the classic tragic emotions of an artistic work:
shame, horror, fear, pity and suffering. While
not a turn-on for me (and I doubt for anyone other
than short eyes and serial pervs), I admire Rob
Black and Lizzy Borden for their willingness to
cut through all the phony lush-colored satin sheet
porn put out by the likes of VCA and Vivid.
The high-rolling producers of this gutless crap
will no doubt defend the right of Extreme Associates
to take porn into the dark corners where girls
are depicted as trash bins for predatory cocks
fucking like a herd of elephants in heat. Then
the gutless warriors of nice porn and their cock-sucking
PR hacks at AVN who whine about every video store
that gets shut down in East Jesus, Kentucky, will
whisper among themselves that Extreme Associates
got what they deserved for crossing the line the
chicken-shit Adult Film Industry long ago drew
in the sand.
