Yup, your pretty much right in your analysis there rearadmiral, there ain't so such thing as a free lunch. This topic got hashed out pretty good in an earlier thread here. | |

Whoooooaaaaa. Just getting back on board after a wicked New Year's party-palooza. At first, I was my usual self:  And then I remembered I had this:  At first I was sort of all paranoid:  Then the dance music got me going:  Then someone said, "Let's get tattoos!" so I got this:  And I finally woke up this morning like:  I may go a little less hardcore for New Years 2012. | |

A few weeks ago the good old boys at the FCC finally passed new rules regarding internet neutrality and, low and behold, they actually opted to go with net neutrality as the standard for internet access. The basic decision (the long argument is laid out in post #15 above) came down to whether or not the ISPs could charge people more for accessing certain websites (effectively creating toll roads for consumers) or if the ISPs had to respect all internet sites equally and let people have universal access. The later option, called net neutrality, won the day to relief of the consumer world. However, as usual, the devil is in the details and the details leave something to be desired. First, net neutrality only applies to traditional internet subscribers. In other words, these rules don't apply to smart phones, i-pads and other devices that rely on cell phone networks to get internet access. Since that's the way the world is heading, this could prove to be sore point in years to come. Second, the rules still allowed tiered pricing. The more you download, the more ISP's can charge you. The status quo remains the same here. The same applies to bandwidth and/or download speeds. More = more expensive if that's what the ISP wants. In other words, if you want to use the express way you have to pay the ISP toll to use it. Third, ISP networks can still disrupt services during peak web congestion periods. Typically, these types of peaks are actually more like brief spikes that last momentarily and that consumers like you and me have no ready way of identifying. The rules seem to allow ISP's to charge consumers an extra fee for essentially "being the last one kicked off the island" when it comes to congestion spikes. This is really a function of meter servicing, sort of like when you get charged different rates for using electricity at different times of the day. This hasn't really been explored yet as a billing option by ISP's but the door now seems open to this. So, in a nutshell, while it sounds all good and rosy the reality is that very little will change in the near future when it comes to pricing and internet access. Yes, you can thank your government at work for this truly exciting piece of administrative code. If you want more dirty details, go here. | |

I think we're about ready to wrap up this thread for a while after a few observations. First, I'm sorry Messmer disabled his account, though I suspect he's lurking in the shadows (hopefully). I do hope he comes back after he's had time to cool off, no one likes to see a contributing and valued member disappear. I also see that Graymane has temporarily disappeared from the forum as well (again, please come on back, more voices makes this place better). Second, I think Khan did a better job than I could of expressing the thought process behind the forum awards. Thank you Khan for your efforts in regards to your posts here. Third, if the two of them are offended beyond reproach then I doubt any apology on my part would be satisfactory at this point other than editing their award entries above. Even if I did, I think most every one here has already read the post and knows of their roasting awards. I'm not really inclined to do so because a) The intent was humorous and not meant as a personal attack; b) I doubt they would quickly return even if I did a re-edit (once damaged, pride takes a while to rebound); and, c) Since we're all anonymous beings in this little corner of cyberspace, I don't like to self edit in hopes of satisfying everyone. Part of what makes the forum fun is that people have wide ranging views and express a lot of opinions. If what I had expressed was opinion I would apologize profusely. Since it was not my intent to express opinion with these faux awards (either in making the awards or how they're to be read) I'm OK with catching flak for stepping over the line but I guess I don't see this as a basis for a full on PU boycott. If it's of any consolation, Messmer and Graymane are exempt from any future awards if they hadn't guessed that already. | |

This sounds more like a scam than anything else. The only legitimate method of cracking down on illegal downloaders and getting money out of them is to get served with legal papers or get a nasty-ass letter from a law firm representing a porn provider. Typically ISP's won't just turn over names of people who access illegal download sites without having subpoena's issued. There's a lot of work, time and money involved in the whole process so getting some computer pop-up that threatens to take your ass down is just a scam. Not really sure what to do when you see those things (I have never come across one but then I just download from paysites). | |

I find most New Year's resolutions to lofty aspirational statements that tend to be forgotten once the New Year's Eve hangover goes away. Thus, I'll settle for the following goals to make the world a better place on small step at a time: 1. Continue to sterilize yesterday's coffee mug with today's coffee (saves water damn it). 2. Continue to save more trees by vowing to eat more beaver. 3. Press my Congressman to have my official birthstone renamed (it's pretty embarrassing to keep getting "Hermaphrodite" gifts). 4. Vow to finally win the lottery this year so I can continue to stimulate America's economy by stimulating myself with bodacious amounts of porn memberships. 5. Write a protest letter to Brazzer's where apparently "talent" is still measured by one's bra size. 6. Continue my agnostic / atheistic religious outlook and read more science books. Remember: Science can take you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings. 7. Make more friends. Why? Easy. Step 1: Bros. Step 2: Ho's. 8. Get my eyesight checked in 2011. I hate it when my beer goggle eyes are bigger than my liver. 9. Remember that a strap-on does not make a fine unicorn hat that tops off one's Halloween costume. 10. Continue to dream big. MLK Jr. had a dream ... but Leonardo had a dream within a dream (Does that make him superior?) | |

I attempted to answer some of Messmer's and Graymane's issues in my reply in the forum awards thread. It may not satisfy you but it is an attempt to address your points. | |

Thanks to everyone for your comments and the like. To partially answer Graymane's issue, yeah the awards sometimes get a little harsh but the way I see it, it's done the way I think award shows should be done in real life. No longstanding offense is meant to anyone. In retrospect, I can see Graymane's and Messmer's points that perhaps a few comments were too much over the top. However, I hope that doesn't cause anyone to feel like they can't contribute to the forum (it's certainly not my intent at all to cause people to self censor). I don't get off on poking fun at people, I do get off (besides on porn) making people laugh. The original idea behind even doing these faux awards was just to get people to laugh at themselves (we don't seem to do that enough today) and to serve as a creative writing outlet (x-mas gift to myself). I know that my sense of humor doesn't translate for everyone but my intentions are mostly harmless (one award this year was certainly not kind but it was deserved). Compared to other forums, I think we're doing OK when something like the awards draws the most outcry from users (that wasn't the case this last year here at PU). The awards themselves have also gotten bigger than I anticipated from the first ones mostly because other people talk about them and PU staff pin this thread for a while (I don't ask that it be pinned). I'll probably keep doing them so long as I have the time and/or PU interest. If I overly offended someone, I apologize but, again, the awards are burlesque style humor, nothing to put in your Christmas letter to friends and family. I view our anonymous on-line PU personalities different from our real world egos. I consider most everyone who regularly posts here an online friend or acquaintance. Would I be this harsh to people in real life? "Yes", if I thought they could handle it or if they knew me well enough. Anyway, you don't have to like the awards or me: just like the forum and contribute to make it a better place. I will keep some of Messmer's and Graymane's points in mind for next year.

Well, I'm glad that at least I don't have to go into Witness Protection ... yet. Yeah, these things seem to keep "growing" every year. I tried pacing myself this year, stockpiling some awards early on when you just knew there were some winners. The end result was even more spewage than I anticipated. p.s. Misstresskent might have been up for a "best avatar" nomination but I was afraid that if she didn't win I'd trapped in the gimp suit, hidden underneath her floorboards. p.s.s. I should also note that props should go out to Ragingbuddhist for originally posting the link to "The Internet is for Porn" song and Turboshaft for the Baby Jesus Buttplug 'plug' ... just don't use the last one as a prop. | |

Wittyguy in "Defunct Websites" thread: I'm sure it was Shakespeare or Yoda who said "Judge me not by the size of my member, rather by the material that makes my member work. Cybertoad later added (in response to the black hole where unused porn goes): Its actually a pretty scary hole, Ive seen it with my 3d glasses. Scary thing is its shaped like a vagina. Wonder what a black hole smells like? Cybertoad in "Need Help" thread (regarding Khan's idea about PU tech support thread): if we had a tech area [we'd get questions like] 'Dear pu my vibrator makes a humming noise what should I do'". He later added: I would be careful about getting a virus when I insert it into the ... USB. Wow imagine getting a computer virus and having to explain that to the wife Wittyguy in "What it is, Air Sex" thread (on Japanese trend of clothed people performing simulated sex acts in clubs): I used to think that Karaoke was the worst form of social entertainment ever invented. Apparently I was wrong. TheSquirrel in "Fake Breasts 'againi" thread (regarding joining either Bangbros or Reality Kings): Anyone considering such a horrible use of money, should think again. I urge you, send it to me instead. I shall spend it on women drugs and alcohol. That way, not one cent will be wasted. Drooler in "Scan scams" thread (regarding scam advertising): The penis enlargement pills have seemed to have gone away, though. For now. Maybe they've saturated the market and America's horrible "penis-not-big-enough" tragedy is finally over! Graymane in "Male oriented straight porn ..." thread: A guy has as much status in a porn scene as the couch, bed or pheasant farm where the scene is filmed. Wittyguy in "My dream girl" thread: Let's face it, plastic surgeons are really nothing more than human body "This Old House" guys like Norm and Tommy with a caulk gun and vacuum hose. Denner in "national blow job day" thread (about March 14 being Steak and a Blow Job day): you guys in the US should consider making those days National Holidays. Cybertoad added: Umm some of us do Cybertoad in "Nudity?" thread: Nudity is truly in the eyes of the beholder. Lk2fireone in "Strange Fetishes" thread: This site [PU] really has a bunch of pervies here. Rearadmiral responded: Now, now... flattery won't work on me! Turboshaft in "What will happen to Max Hardcore ..." thread: Obviously there's a big difference the right to die and the right to a boner (for starters, one stops your heart the other speeds it up) Williamj in "Is there a universal type of woman ..." thread: I fuck vagina toys so don't ask me. Mistresskent in "Interesting Article" thread: Spunk is only 6 calories per load taken orally! Fuck the Atkins! Drooler in the "Tits: The more they got them the more they flaunt them." thread (regarding starlets playing too much with their tits): Well, it's because they have something in common with toy train sets. Both are intended for children, but it's the fathers who wind up playing with them. Wittyguy in "Patent You 'Mastery of the Monkey' Stroke" thread (regarding patenting hand gestures for future computers): Seeing this made me realize that at some point some porn geek is going to patent different hand positions for some futuristic "love glove" or similar device. Good forbid someone try to get exclusive domain over my "double eagle claw technique" (advanced users only), my "SpongeBob Jizz Pants" maneuver, or even my choreographed "Knock on Wood" rhythmic interpretive dance special. Turboshaft in "Strange Fetishes" thread (regarding milk enemas): I think it might be for those porn girls who are lactose intolerant but still need to get some calcium in their body. Regardless of the attraction, I don't think the National Dairy Council is going to be using it in ads anytime soon! Yadayada321 in "Solo's sucking their toys" (regarding starlets getting too into their toys): it's like seeing a guy masturbate and then licking and smelling his hand afterwards Wittyguy in "Porn Site Feedback & Discussion" (on paysites using member polls): Relying on polls to drive your site is sort of like asking your local priest who is also a scoutmaster and swim coach to tutor your child; not necessarily the best idea in the world. Pat362 in "Please help me graduate!!!" thread: The last time I was mean they took me to the back shed and started beating me with the ugly stick but they had to stop because I was already there. Cybertoad in "Porn Site Feedback & Discussion" thread: I am bored and would like to find something different but good. Capn replied: Have you thought about purchasing a top quality garden shed? Wittyguy in "Artsy Softcore Nude Sites" thread: I think a lot of these sites got their initial inspiration from Playboy and the rest which focus on airbrushed girls in seductive poses on couches made from the finest Corinthian leather, specialty Naugahyde, and rare imported pleather. Turboshaft in "The Pill Turns 50" thread: where would the entire creampie genre be without this pharmaceutical wonder? Wittyguy in "When was the last time your balls felt clean" thread (on going to hell for having dirty junk): What, you think Satan wants to mess with your dirty junk. I hear that the TSA is getting into the ball cleaning business, try them instead. Monahan replied: This discussion has me wondering. Could a pornstar find work teabagging the guys who opt out of the full body scan? After all it's to protect us from terrorists, isn't it? Pat362 in "Pat362, our newest hardcore memeber" thread: I don't need no stinking badges. Mistresskent replied: Errr... can I have a stinking badge please?? Drooler in "MILFS?" thread: MILFs! They're old! They're young! They're young and agile enough to wear a baseball cap backwards, yet old and haggard enough to join AARP! Wittyguy in "How You Can Achieve Instant Fame and Fortune" thread: I think that Sims and Warren Buffett should offer cash prizes for a bunch of unemployed middle age, heavy set gay guys to run naked through the stock exchange. Spain has the running of the bulls, we'll have the running of the bears. Rearadmiral in "Penthouse Founder Bob Guccionne Dies" thread: Bob Guccione was a big part of my formative years and I'm thankful for that. And I'm not a serial killer because of it. Turboshaft in "10 Things you should never say to a porn star" thread: And there's always the classic "Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?" Justme in "I want to retire immediately ..." thread (about ugly dudes nailing pornstars enhancing viewer self esteem): I think it may be more like "Hey, that girl will fuck Quasimodo but would not even give me the time of day". BadAndy400 later added: No guy in porn should be fatter than me. Pat362 in "Has anyone around here actually met a porn star" thread: I wouldn't because frankly what am I going to say. Hi! I loved your last movie. I jerked off so hard that I thought I'd pass out. Wittguy in "Top Porn-Friendly Countries" thread: The US isn't bad unless you're trapped in some rural bible belt hell where the livestock are the victims of most porn inspired fantasies. Mistresskent in "Italian Friends on the Bus" thread: What's the difference between Clint Eastwood and Anal Sex? One will make your day. One will make your hole weak. Wittyguy in "What are some clues a member is becoming unpopular with forum regulars?" thread (regarding the thread title): When they see that I've replied to their thread, they know they've become unpopular and ostracized. Justme later added: This is a porn forum, a gathering of individuals brought together by a shared interest in jerking off. How much acceptance does one wish to have? Lk2fireone in "In Partial Defense of DRM" thread (on getting older): Once you hit the big 30 mark, you will suddenly gain added maturity, and realize that porn is not the true path. You will then start collecting stamps or coins, which you can hold in both hands for a tactile sensation. Rearadmiral in "Who's buying porn DVDs" thread (on the practice of porn shops calling themselves "boutiques"): They certainly aim to be an upscale place, but honestly, how 'upscale' can you be when you sell replicas of Ashley Blue's ass? Nothing against Ms. Blue, of course, but we're not talking Saks Fifth Avenue here... Turboshaft later added: I am not sure I want to know what the sex shop/adult boutique equivalent is of the sales lady spraying perfume in your face when you walk by her counter. Turboshaft in "Another Surgical Topic to Debate" thread: I'm sure there are more than a few here at PU who would totally take advantage of marrying a virgin. "Honey, trust me: all women normally start with anal. And for the last time; no, that camera is not on!" RagingBuddhist in "When was the last time your balls felt clean?" thread: A guy goes to his doctor for a physical. After all is said and done, he gets the news. "You're in perfect health," the doctor says, "except you've got the dirtiest balls I've ever seen." The guy says, "I think I know what the problem is. He goes home and, walking in the front door, sees his wife running up the stairs. "Helen!", he yells. "Come here - I want to talk to you!" "I don't have time for that right now!" she yells back. "I hardly have time to wipe my ass!" "That's what I want to talk to you about!" Edited on Dec 16, 2010, 08:50pm | |

As usual, we close out the annual forum awards with random quips and quotes from the last year that tickled my funny bone from the huge pile of bio-mass we like to call the PU forum. Enjoy and be sure to tune in for next years fiasco of self inflicted pain that can only continue with help from the rest of you pervs. Keep on posting. Wittyguy 12/2/09 in "TBP Cash Flow vs. Site Scores" thread: Damn, I guess my weak attempt at incindiary posting didn't quite pan out. No protest songs, no sit-ins, and no one getting maced and arrested. Apparently "The Man" doesn't work for TBP. Drooler in the "Nature/Outdoor versus bedrooms" thread: True, when you think of corroding iron bridges and cracked slate by the riverside, do the supple skin and come-hither eyes of a nubile Ukrainian Aphrodite follow quickly by free association? WeeWillyWinky later adds: [P]ics taken in what is obviously a hotel or motel room bother me. Makes me think the model is a prostitute, which, well, she sometimes is. RagingBuddhist in "Losing the Urge" thread (about getting older): the prescription for glasses gets stronger and stronger. (Maybe the cliche is true - I didn't stop it and now I'm going blind). Wittyguy later added: [I'm not] really noticing a diminishment of the "urge". At any rate, it's probably better and less distressing to go a few days without the urge as opposed to having teenage "instant boner" for the half the damn day ... "No, I really don't want to go up and write the answer on the blackboard today. Wittyguy in "Image only sites vs everything else: prices" thread (responding to prices for image only porn sites): I'm more than happy to pay for the prime rib versus the huge trough of gruel that the rest of the world feeds at. Hodyathink in "Who's the current porn 'It' girl" thread (responding to a picture link to Sasha Grey): My pants feel funny. Wittyguy in response to "Checkout What's Hot at TheBestPorn" thread (regarding new additions to TBP): Well, unless it scratches my balls and rubs my back I wouldn't exactly call it burning hot. Rick later added: What's it gonna take to have you guys assist in choosing the hot sites? Free blowjobs from the TBP mascot?  Turboshaft in "Support Problems" (responding to Raginbuddhists tech support rant): I would assume Buddhists wouldn't be able to use computers anyway, at least not anything less reliable than an abacus. You can't reach nirvana when you're smashing a keyboard or punching a monitor...or maybe you can. Wittguy later added: Thank you for contacting the Microcrap-Gatewaytohell joint service support hotline. Press 1 if you have an erection lasting longer than 4 hours (this will send out a twitter update on your account alerting all your friends to your accomplishment). Press 2 if you want to discuss the Cartesian Mind/Body philosophical distinctions in Swahili. Press 3 to speak with a customer service representative who recently qualified with English as their 4th language this week. Press 4 to speak to someone who will pretend to care about your problem while masturbating to internet porn . Press 5 to listen a customer service representative talk about their problems. Press 6 to hear the most recent classic rock band who sold out their biggest hit to be our new marketing theme. Press 7 if you wish to speak to someone who thinks they know what a computer might be. Press 8 if you think my voice is too sexy for this directory.... Drooler finished it off with: The businesses run to make SALES. MONEY!! Gouged out of your ass and mine with a carpenter's knife. Drooler in "Do these girls know the consequences" thread : Save money, live better. Walmart." If I met up with Jenna Haze in the bedding section, I'd start having much more positive thoughts about Walmart Turboshaft in "Save Login / Password Firefox" thread: I have also tried Google's Chrome, and I have to say I prefer the metal to the browser. Drooler in "Photoshopping/altering images" thread (his term of art regarding those who over photoshop pics): Master Shellacker. Ragingbuddhist later added: But I like orange skin-toned women with plastic-smooth pubic areas! Wittyguy added: it ain't "art" until you fuck with it. Wittyguy in "Do you read erotic material" thread: we're mostly guys here ... we want visual stimulation, not the Harlequinn Romance version of what happened. Drooler fired back: Yeah, the Harlequin Romance about how the tatted stud spent 20 minutes pile-driving the heroine's corn hole until he topped it off with a cream pie is something that I could live without. Drooler in "Are fisting videos now legal in the U.S.?" thread: If there are laws specifically written to outlaw fisting, they might be local ordinances or state statutes. Especially when the cell phones are set to "vibrate." Wittyguy in "No Pets Allowed!" thread (regarding animals in porn): When the dog is hollering in harmony with the starlet, that's entertainment ... at least it is over in the trailer park. Toadsith in "Midcore" thread: If we can't approach porn with scientific detachment and precision, why are we here? Nothing is more sexy than finding a nude woman's specific gravity. Wittyguy in "The 2009 PU Forum Awards" (responding to Toadsith's new Patrick McGoohan avatar): I am a bit puzzled by the new avatar as it appears to look like some creepy old pedophile priest "making love eyes" at the altar boy more than McGoohan. BadAndy400 in "Unintended Porn Reference ..." thread (regarding the Bunny Love brand of carrots): So....if you eat a carrot while having sex with your wife, are you cheating on her? Wittyguy in "I Want to Say Thanks To Everyone" thread (regarding Gcode's thread title): Man, I saw the thread title and I thought, "Crap, there goes another regular down the toilet" (you should feel good that I consider you "a regular" in that respect). Hodyathink in "Mars to Earth ..." (about beaming porn flick images to Mars and their possible reply) There's more silicone in these girls than on our planet. Wittyguy later added: If they don't stop we're going have to start putting Soylent Green back on our menu ... after the anal probes of course! Turboshaft in "Khan is buried in snow without power" thread: I hope he stays warm without having to resort to burning old porn magazines. Pat362 in "The Darwin Awards 2009" thread (about stupid Americans): This is the Country where they swab alcohol on the inmate's arm before inserting the needle for his lethal injection. Turboshaft in "Off topic - Mosque at Ground Zero" thread: Also to compare religion to a penis...well, that just insulting to penises everywhere! Of course it's already happened with the sex toy companies; just check out the Jackhammer Jesus, or probably the ultimate in anal-Christian blasphemy, the Baby Jesus Butt Plug. Pat362 in "Midcore" thread (regarding a pic of some moron sniffing a porn tape): Maybe he's a psychic sniffer? He's able to smell the girls through the paper and also through time since VHS is pretty old school porn. Capn in "Women who watch porn" thread (about Ragingbuddhist making a noncynical post): RB reholsters his Peacemaker & walks slowly away. TheSquirrel in "NB: Blocked access ..." thread (responding to Wittyguy welcoming him back): I'm nearly always sticking some part of my body into something, even if it is just foot into mouth. Turboshaft in "Can someone clue me in" thread: Just imagine: Oh, midget-horse anal--that's so last year! Malikstarks in "Brazzers and lopsided reviews" thread (regarding joining Brazzers): Brazzers is like the McDonald's of internet porn. Pat362 then added: It's fast, it's hot, it will feed your hunger and you know exactly how it will taste. Lk2fireone in "If you had a chance with your favorite model" thread: Some of the pastries I eat are called danish, so I could be called a cultural man of the world. Exotics4me later added: I hope you found my ditty here Funnier than a fart in a space suit. Drooler in "too many download options" thread: It's like going through the typical "hyperchoice" menu at an American family restaurant ... I mean there's Denny's ... and then there's Denys DeFrancesco. Cybertoad in "Pros vs. Joes" thread (about amateur porn being like a documentary): Here we are in the jungle, where the white bellied pecker upper, is about to nibble on what appear to be the soft inner thigh of the rare but often sot after White bild, horny sucker. Lets take a look at this rare mating ritual. Toadsith in "Tattoos on women" thread: The rise of tattoo popularity means that a lot of sub-par artists are getting work as tattooists when they should really be pursing a different occupation, maybe Rodeo Clown... or a Tea Bagger Liaison for Sarah Palin. Drooler in "Weird Topic But I Love It" thread (responding to Turboshafts request for cooking recipes): Hey, does anyone know how to make an anal cream pie? TheSquirrel in "How can we improve the reviews at TBP?" (responding to a quote about putting up with "TheSquirrel and his foibles"): My partner has threatened to cut off my foibles on more than one occasion. Slutty in the "Pubic Hair?" thread: However, I don't like too much hair, it reminds me of the nightmare of going down on my college girlfriend... Cybertoad later added: I like a little but not to much do not want to start a forest fire from the friction. Edited on Dec 16, 2010, 08:39pm | |

One of the nice things about the PU forum is that there really aren't that many rules, sort of like and Italian airport. However, we don't like spammers and people who fuck with everyone just because it's a day of the week ending in the letter “y”. For that we have the “VITALY BORKER AWARD” going to Miss Hybrid! After readhing her initial thread, the Forum Awards listened to it's inner Admiral Ackbar and avoided that trap. However, the rest of you knob-jobs (thinking with your little head instead of your big head) and jump right in because she's a porn chick. Big. Fucking. Mistake. The self professed porn star / chicken farmer / trap shooter / photographer / microbiologist / pharmacist / mechanical engineer / porn collector / BMW driving blogger (I ain't making this shit up) cranked up more than a few members with her insult jokes, ignorance of etiquette and blatant self promotion. When that wasn't enough, her minions three from Mordor swooped in and tried to burn the place down but only succeeding in leaving the forum looking like the floral print on a sheet of toilet paper … it just gets covered with shit in the end. All of you repeat after me: “Arguing with someone like that is like running a race in the special olympics … you might win but you're still a tard.” For her prize, Ms Hybrid gets a Christopher Walken doll … cause, like her, it's damn creepy and can only be muted with more cowbell. A dishonorable mention goes to the webmaster who shut off Denner's account after Denner left a comment about the site on PU, documented in the “NB: Blocked access because of critical PU comment” thread. Another new award this year is the “GRAMMAR NAZI AWARD” going to Drooler and Turboshaft! Flashing back to their time spent in juvenile delinquency schools, they played nuns with canes and came after Wittyguy in the “Best Porn Awards Ever” thread, criticizing his one misuse of an apostrophe and one misspelled word. Thank god these guys aren't cops otherwise we'd have situations like “Sorry to inform you ma'am but your son committed suicide … and that moron you dropped from your uterus used a comma instead of semicolon in his note.” For their efforts they each get a personalized action figure (that way they can play with themselves and leave the rest of us alone) and a t-shirt that reads: “Baby I put the Stud into STD; all I need is U.” An honorable mention goes to all who chipped in with the “OT The Degeneration of the English Language” thread by bashing everyone who isn't older than dirt. Last year I renamed the hilarious post of the year the “Fuck You, I Rule Award” since I got all the nominations and the award. Having since been sued by US and European regulators for running a monopoly and ponzi scheme with this award, it's been changed back the “HILARIOUS POST OF THE YEAR AWARD” with our winner being Capn for enlightening us all about how to avoid shopping with your gal in “How to get out of doing the weekly shop”. We all know that daily annoyances like shopping for food takes away important time we could otherwise use spanking the monkey. Helpful hints like dripping tomato juice in the tampon aisle, asking the store employees what veggies they or their girlfriends like to use, threatening suicide, testing the salad bar sneeze guards … yes, we all have something to learn from this thread ... I'm just not sure what that might be. For everyone who contributed, the list gets featured in the next “Martha Stewart Living” magazine and they get a giant inflatable penis they can put in their pants the next time they're forced into the real world. Honorable mentions go to Wittguy for his annual addition to the “Mindset 2013” thread (proving that if ignorance is bliss then today's college students are living a 24/7 orgasm). Messmer for his “Questions without answers” thread (another deep thought I must ponder). Wittyguy for the over the top rant about plastic surgery in the “My Dream Girl” thread. Drooler in the “Stupid Porn” thread for his explanation of film plot elements and their porn equivalents. Wittyguy for his rules about pets in porn flicks in “No Pets Allowed”. Capn and others for the “I wish I had said that” thread (that's right, go ahead and make my day). I don't know why we haven't had an award for the best forum rant cause there's enough of them here to drown out all the gripes coming from the National Hemorrhoids Convention. It seems appropriate to bring it on now in the form of the “RAGING RODENT AWARD” which goes to Thesquirrel! This is more of lifetime achievement award since if you want a solid dose of rants covering conspiracy theories, gonzo porn, government coverups and corporate malfeasance then Thesquirrels your man cause when he's rollin', they hatin'. Most of us prefer to be like Jesus (speak softly and dress like a Jedi knight) but TheSquirrel prefers the full on frontal bitch slap. He'll give it to 'The Man' even if it means taking a fist probe from airport security. While some may drink from the fountain of knowledge, Thesquirrel prefers to gargle – leaving us with the sloppy drool that Billy Mays (RIP) couldn't even clean up. His signature line should be changed to read “Miss your friends and family? Aim better next time!” The forum just wouldn't be the same without him … and neither would the insane asylum he calls home. His prize is a t-shirt that says “Kevlar for the Gene Pool” and a recurring role on The Jerry Springer Show. Finally, all good things must come to an end and we end with the traditional “MR. PATHETICALLY IRRELEVANT AWARD”. This award was named The Mr. Irrelevant Award (in reality it's the last player taken in the NFL draft) and went to the person who posted a thread that drew almost no interest or views. This year, the forum was inundated with gut wrenching unreplied threads so I had to add an extra criteria – a true “WTF” factor or sheer patheticness. After crunching all the variables, our winner is Cybertoad! Not only did he cook up one turd, he laid out a pile that a herd of cows would be proud of with his “Good Asian Solo Site” thread (with one slap down pity reply by Khan), his “Good Animation Sites” thread (apparently there are none), the “Twisted and Disturbing” thread which, again, no one could handle because nothing is as excruciatingly twisted and disturbing as reading these pathetic cries for help. For his prize, Cybertoad gets a copy of the book “How to Lose Friends and Make Enemies” and some electro-shock therapy because his only friend is his ego … too bad even that's imaginary. Honorable mentions go out to Drooler for this thread “Plain Backgrounds” where he tried to awe us with his analysis about white space in porn shoots. Yeah, like we care. This one turned turned into a black hole. Regberkley for drinking way too much egg nog last Christmas eve and posting ““Global Crossing – Heads Up” about some technical problem with international web connections that nobody could even comprehend and go no replies (Was Santa that nasty to you?). Denner also get recognized here for his “Gettin' Rid of Spam” thread that got nada (Maybe we like our spam? Weren't you fed any as a child? Perhaps being from the land of Danish butter cookies and lutefisk you think your happy meal options are better than ours?). Lastly, Danielins gets a nod for his “unusual question” thread about yet another fucking song in a porno vid that got on pity post reply. I'm sorry but anyone who has an ipod full of porn songs has an IQ about room temperature and dreams about a starring role in A Klingon Christmas Carol. Nuff said. Take care, and remember to surf safely after hitting the post awards show parties. Remember last year and the after party fiasco we had when everyone got drunk and was singing to the “The Internet is for Porn” song? Thankfully we have the pics to remind you:  Edited on Dec 16, 2010, 08:27pm | |

For kicking it old school while not even being able to remember school, Graymane's prize package includes a Ron Jeremy doll (his favorite pornstar) ; a dashboard GPS version 1.0 (a globe); and a package of “Hot Shot Condoms” to remind him of his youth. As an aside, Messmer gets an honorable mention for coming out and disclosing that he's really older than his PU profile reveals … like that's going to get him more hos and free porn site memberships. We now take a brief intermission from the awards to hear from our sponsors. “Sponsors” you ask? Hell yeah! Most of the commentary in these awards gives me the life expectancy of someone going hunting with Dick Cheney. As such, the legal department here at the Forum Awards has grown significantly bigger than my ego. Since these ass reamers don't work for cheap, sit back and suck up the spam folks. First, we have the “Caring Cats of America Service Animals” who's motto is service with a smile:  Next, TheBestPorn has been hurting in these tough times and has expanded business with a childrens clothing line. Pick up a few of these for the little ones on your x-mas list:  Then there's SuperLax; the people who made 2 Girls / 1 Cup possible:  Interested in making a sex tape? Only spring for the best in analog equipment:  Want to look your best when stepping up to collect your Forum Award for next year? Go where the Forum Awards goes, you'll love the look:  The Federal Witness Protection Program is celebrating it's 10,000th placement this year. Way to go guys:  Semi-Pro condoms. When just OK is good enough:  Finally, we have the Brett Favre public service announcement on picking up women for the unenlightened:  Now back to the action. Moving right along, we have the “GREAT MINDS OF THE FORUM” AWARD for contributions of magnificent proportion to the universe of porn. The winner, and our first double winner of the year, is Pat362 for coining the term “Midcore Porn” (the level of porn involving toy and lesbian play)! This revelation brought tears to Capn's eyes (no, not his brown one), inspiring multiple damn threads on the subject. Christ, given the amount of praise Pat got and amount of conversation this term started you'd think he discovered the long lost island of perfect women: all orally obsessed and 3 feet high with no teeth and flat heads (for resting your beer on). Pat's prize is a t-shirt that says “If masturbation were a crime, I'd be on death row!” and his avatar ceremoniously installed as a permanent background on the computers of all living Nobel laureates in hopes that it will inspire them to come up with something as original and useful to mankind. Honorable mentions go out to Wittyguy in the “Regional Pricing Part 2” thread for his idea of knocking points off of PU review scores for sites that use regional pricing. Turboshaft also gets props for his term “douchebag porn” meant to describe videos that feature annoying dudes more than the chicks we're there to see. Rick from TBP also gets a nod for proposing that everyone who helps them select “hot sites” gets a blow job from the TBP mascot girl (if we ain't getting satisfaction from some cartoon princess you know where were looking next … Rick?!?). Moving on we now have another double award winner with the “HYPOCRIT OF THE YEAR AWARD” going to Messmer! With his 600+ posts this year, 99% were nothing but incessant bitching and moaning about how there aren't any sites with natural looking middle age hags prancing around in their knickers, showing off their cellulite filled derrieres. Then one day we get this thread entitled “I hope this doesn't come off as too much of a shock” where he suddenly pronounces his love of the Reality Kings site!!! Shock? Bitch, please! All the jihadists in the world suddenly dropping their guns and renouncing violence would be shocking. This is more like instantaneously voiding the laws of physics and vaporizing the universe! Going from saggy and frumpy to rock hard DD boobs and teen sluts is sort of like a middle aged sheik with 30 wives suddenly coming out and declaring that he's gay. Drooler summed it up best when noted that it sounded like Messmer was coming out of the closet and walking right into another one. Messmer, you're from Canada you should know better: when your mind senses that evil is afoot, switch to the metric system. Messmer's swag from this award includes a coupon for a free lobotomy and Reverse Viagra that will only inspire him only while looking at Depends advertisements. Sometimes when we're drunk we say things with our “out loud voice” that the rest of the world really doesn't need to hear. For that, we have the “TAXI CAB CONFESSIONALS AWARD”. The winner (err, loser?) is ByteMaster for revealing his train masturbation sessions in the “caught masturbating” thread and disclosing his butt pumping fantasies in “I think porn may have turned me bisexual” thread. Hell, even ByteMaster later admitted in a post that he may have revealed to much … isn't that sort of like Bin Laden apologizing today for not having been a very nice person? Actually I was happy to see that everyone was supportive of ByteMaster's dilemmas and some used the opportunity to disclose that you can't pick sexual orientation viruses from toilets in case he was worried. For his prize, ByteMaster gets his own MTV reality series (“Jerkin' with Planes, Trains and Bisexuals” … airing right after Jackass) and some serious sit down time with our resident head shrinker Exotics4me. Honorable mentions go out to Wittyguy for his “A Partial Defense of DRM” for defending the undefendable; Markfx for his thread “Sex chat rooms are problematic” for a long winded WTF discourse about how he spends too much time and money stalking chatroom hotties; and, WeeWillyWinky for his thread “Losing the urge” where he talks about his decreasing sex drive. Not wanting to be topped by anyone else, WeeWilly then goes on in the “National blow job day” thread to reveal that he hasn't had a decent hummer since 1995 (for the love of God, someone please give him a pity hummer). Next up comes the “JUMP START ME JESUS AWARD” going to Cybertoad! Confusing himself with David Koresh he mistakenly believed he was the second coming and tried to resurrect a number of old PU threads earlier this year ... and only succeeded in going down in flames. Not being a student of history, Cybertoad was doomed in repeating the failed history that is the Forum when his revivals turned out to be reminiscent of a bad zombie movie than an inspirational tug from above (although we all occasionally like that kind of thing). Note to Cybertoad: if Jesus were alive today his only followers would be on Twitter, not the PU forum. Since it is the Christmas season, Cybertoad's gift is a Baby Jesus Butt Plug which will hopefully prevent this kind of shit from leaking out in the future and used copy of the movie “Back to the Future” to remind himself that messin' with history is sort of like the Messin' with Sasquatch commercials (jerky is a meat product, not something you do).

Mmmmm. Nothing says Christmas like the aroma of my gym socks hung over an empty bottle of lube with care and a big heaping plate of this festival of feces more commonly known as the PU Forum Awards! The whole thing reminds me of my childhood and the abusive foster family I never had ... but that's another story ... one that will probably be told in some bestiality porn parody coming soon to a website near you. After having dished, dissed and pissed on everyone and everything the last two years, some of you may have noticed that I haven't been my usual postaholic self this last year. Instead I've been trying to atone for my sins by contributing to mankind's knowledge base; pondering deep and important issues like; If Snooki passes out drunk, is that called a "hoe down"; If a quiz is quizzical, then what is a test?; How do blind people know when they're done wiping?; If "pro" is the opposite of "con", is "progress" the opposite of "congress"; If silence is golden how come duct tape is silver and gag balls are red?; and, What if there were no hypothetical questions? When faced with such daunting challenges, people employ different coping mechanisms - I prefer heavy masturbation and my aura of awesomeness ... or is that "odor", I forget. Unfortunately for humanity, and the benefit of countless unopened cans of Four Loko, I was left befuddled and bedazzled (God, I love my neon sequined crotchless PU jumpsuit) by these issues and was forced to return here ? cause when life gives you nothing but douchebags you either make "Jersey Shore" or the Forum Awards. I know, I know. I can already hear your chants of "Let's skip the fairy tale (err, "tail") and go right to the happy ending". Thus, it's time for me reject your awesomeness and substitute my own with this annual franchise of doom known as the Forum Awards. So strap on your kevlar underwear, turn on some soothing gonzo gangbang music, turn on the gas in your stove and open the door and relax with another sorry edition of of the Forum Awards ... [Disclaimer: If you can't handle having won an award, lost an award, failed to receive your prize or feel that you have been inaccurately portrayed in this thread please direct all complaints to: wittyguysucks/google.beefdepartment@theinternet.com. All awards are humorous in nature and unaffiliated with the PU/TBP staff. Votes were tabulated and verified by drunken lemurs. If you're clueless as to what the hell is going on, check out the 2008 and 2009 awards and buy your disgrace insurance now.] As is customary, we open the awards with our "POSTER CHILD OF THE YEAR" Award. Like last year, we have double winners in the guise of Messmer and Pat362! Armed with conflicting attitudes of "Posts? Bitches love posts!" and "Prose before ho's" this Canadian tag team duo managed to crank out over 1200 forum posts between them this year. Unfortunately for us, they forgot that posts are sort of like farts (you can only tolerate your own) and greatly confused the concept of "I can" with "I.Q." Like Master Yoda said, "Always two there are, no more, no less. A master and an apprentice." I'll let you two fight it out for domination ... master / apprentice ... top / bottom ... (do I sense a 'dance off' in the near future?). For his prize, Messmer receives a mirror to mount next his computer (so he can high five himself after every post) and a lifetime membership to Awesomenessreminders.com in case he ever loses his mojo. Pat362 receives a General George Patton wall clock that chimes out "Pat, you magnificent bastard, I read your post!" on the hour and his avatar prominently featured in the upcoming unofficial shoot of the "I'm Awesome" video. Our next award is AVATARD, err, I mean "AVATAR OF THE YEAR" AWARD. Frankly I was a little worried since there very few new avatar faces this year but, borrowing a page from reality t.v., Advent is our winner! As webmistress for the ATK franchise, she graced us with an actual photo of herself without apparent fear that her image would fuel many a forum pervs fantasy. Sporting shades and a tight t-shirt with a giant blue sperm on it, how could she not win? Of course, being bestowed with such an honor should result in a little quid pro quo ? Advent ? just email me a bunch of free ATK passes, OK? Her prize is a t-shirt that reads "Save the Trees - Eat more Beaver" and a free membership to Chatroulette where she see and visit with all the admirers she has here at PU. Honorable mentions go out to WeeWillyWinky for his granny pants over the head look (I don't think that's what people mean when they talk about ?bringing sexy back?) and DavidX for posting a purported real mug shot pedo-bear look alike photo of himself. The only thing keeping DavidX from winning this year was the fact that his picture wasn't taken in a front of a van with the words "Free Candy" spray painted on the side or that his signature line didn't read "What's better than a 22 year old porn star? Twenty two year old porn stars!". No offense meant DavidX, sarcasm and sadistic humor are just some of the services provided by the forum awards. Next up, we have the "TALKING 'BOUT MY DEGENERATION AWARD" going to everyone who contributed to the "Can Someone Clue Me In" thread. We do have a tendency to stray from the original thread topic but Messmer's initial question (a brief "no" reply post would have sufficed) about file compression standards ended up as a free for all bestiality fest (God, why does it always have to be bestiality? Why?!?) involving midgets, horses and anal sex. Unfortunately, like a black light shown on a computer desk, what has once been seen can no longer be unseen as that thread any and all intellectual currency it might have once contained. For prizes, everyone who contributed to this train wreck gets a "Meat is Murder. Tasty, Tasty Murder." sweatshirt and a can of whoop-ass to open up on the next poster who heads down bestiality avenue. Honorable mentions go to the "Do these girls know the consequences" thread which ended with a debate about who has the classiest shoppers: Walmart or Target (simple solution, just count the number of teeth the average shopper has); those who chimed in the "If you had a chance with your favorite model" thread which ended up with some discussing how they'd like to bone Ariel from "The Little Mermaid" (God, why does it always have to be bestiality? Why?!?); and, contributors to the "Surprise, New Forum Features" thread which went talk of the new emoticons to people posting pictures of boobies (the kind that affirm PU's unofficial motto "PU: Where every month is breast awareness month" and the avian kind which made me question if a bird in the hand is really worth two in the bush). Up next, is "THREAD TITLE OF THE YEAR AWARD" which goes to Lk2fireone for his thread "When was the last time your balls felt clean?"! Illuminating the world to this cruel and embarrassing condition puts him on the short list for next years Nobel Prize and inspired many a reply post that ... well, you can probably guess where that lead to. I'm sure Lk2fireone's pointed inquiry will drift over into mainstream media like the Old Spice guy doing a body wash commercial - "Ladies, look at my balls. Now look at your man's balls. Now back to mine. See my balls on horse." (God, why does it always have to be bestiality? Why?!?). His prize is a bottle of Viagra and a ticket to a private TSA pat down room in order to verify his own condition. Honorable mentions go to Denner for "Porn in Afghanistan" (a serious thread despite the title); Drooler for "Dangling Corners" (maybe Drooler is the one who needs the Viagra?); RagingBuddhist for his self descriptive "My Rage" thread; Messmer for "Can someone clue me in" (ahh, no) and Graymane for the "Inquisitive minds want to know: beastiality?" thread, which I take to mean he wants to recode the Farmville game for more "action" (God, why does it always have to be bestiality? Why?!?). We have a new category this year; the "GREAT GRANDPA GA-GA AWARD" which goes to Graymane! This self professed 77 year old geezer who mainlines prune juice has been trying to relive his sexual past through the PU glory hole by donning his meat suit and relentlessly posting polls and threads asking PUer's to discuss sex acts and sexual preferences. I get it. Porn mimics life ... but jabbering about sex gone by doesn't make him The Most Interesting Man in the World (I'm just waiting for him to claim that he once visited the Virgin Islands and now they're just called "The Islands"). Today, Graymane is celibate by choice (not his choice, rather the choice of billions of women around the world) and he needs your support to keep him living cause apparently the little blue pills are losing their effect on him. Seriously, I'm glad to see the AARP crowd represented here at PU; affirming that Old School means that you still have the internet ? you just have it on vinyl.

Came across this funny little diddy today. It doesn't matter if you're straight or gay, the TSA will grope you all the way. See the TSA Christmas Carol here. p.s. Once the fed ex man arrives later today with the last of the awards, the 2010 PU Forum Awards will hit the web. Hide the women and children now. | |

I my mind the nominees shouldn't be taken for what's "popular"; instead they just reflect the general rank and standing of the major players in the industry. The AVN's are put on by the major adult labels and, in my mind, is just another marketing angle for promoting their wares and giving their stars media face time. Things like "best membership site"? Please. Don't ask the industry, ask the customers. | |

By now everyone has probably heard about the whole Wikileaks controversy. Basically, some people at Wikileaks persuaded a junior level US military intelligence guy to download boatloads of "secret" intelligence file and turn them over to Wikileaks which then published all the files on line. Nothing earth shattering was revealed, just a bunch of private memos about how the government really feels about other governments and some pretty snooze worthy intel we wouldn't otherwise know about. The result? Wikileaks gets raged at by several governments, the Wikileaks founder gets tagged by the Swedes for some questionable sex crime ("sex by surprise", give me a break). Companies and ISP's that originally hosted Wikileaks began pulling them off the web and that in turn resulted in these companies getting slammed by an army of anonymous hackers as revenge. Who needs reality tv when we got this. I will say that I'm no big fan of Julian Assange (Wikileaks founder). He is an quasi-anarchist egomaniac who believes that government by its very nature is corrupt and must be exposed at any price. He doesn't edit anything which in past releases of info included private info of soldiers and identities of people helping the US who might pay with their lives for their disclosure. In this context I see Wikileaks as a bit of a cult of personality that lacks journalistic credibility that could harm the future release of confidential material that the world really should see, not the trove of mediocrity that we recently got. His threats to release more government materials should he ever be arrested attests more to his sense of entitlement than his journalistic credibility. Underneath all the b.s. there is some interesting shit going on though. First, let me start by committing my first felony of the day: click here. That's right, by merely posting to the classified reports, I have committed a felony under the US Espionage Act. Anyone who clicks on the link and reads the classified documents is also committing a felony. This is what the US government is planning on charging Wikileaks with (the case is not yet filed but it will be). WTF? I won't get into the whole debate about if it was appropriate to release the docs or not but I'll suffice to say that nothing revealed was of vital national security. If this revealing of the proverbial dirty underwear underneath the Statue of Liberty is so bad why weren't the journalists who released the Pentagon Papers in the 1970's tried for treason? Why wasn't Dick Cheney tried for releasing Valerie Plames name? The list could go on but my point is that this seems like an over reaction that could have a chilling effect on legitimate news organizations, whistle-blowers and other less than criminal types. This is a seriously out of date law that is being selectively used as a club in an age where the internet arms everyone with an automatic weapon. Second, it points out the fact that while the internet is viewed as a public place it is in fact run by private enterprise that has a financial stake in the game. Paypal and Amazon both had previous dealings with Wikileaks which they severed after the posting of the classified documents. In return, they got hacked with denial of service prompts by so called Wikileak supporters (I say so called because a lot of them were probably just looking for a reason to slap big corporations in the face for fun). I'm afraid that companies and countries may start to shy away from supporting free speech that might be controversial because they don't want to deal with negative publicity and attacks. This chilling effect could harm us all in the future as corporations deny people a platform to expose true crimes committed by governments or the powerful. Third, this situation brings into the debate the whole question of journalistic integrity, free speech and government secrets. Governments need secrets in that we shouldn't know everything our government is doing when it comes to national security and foreign affairs. Politicians going ape shit over the release of these documents seems to me to be a case of them feeding their own egos by filing time on cable tv which needs them to feed their bottom line. This whole thing also raises the question of what a journalist is in the internet age and where the lines of free speech get crossed. No answers for anyone, but it will be interesting to see where this goes. For those of you who suffered through this post, I reward you with a link to some products that inadvertently got a bit too sexy for themselves: here. | |

When it comes to "heavier" girls my mind instinctively replays Spinal Taps "Big Bottom Woman": The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin' That's what I said The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand Or so I have read My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo I'd like to sink her with my pink torpedo Big bottom, big bottom Talk about bum cakes, my girl's got 'em Big bottom drive me out of my mind How could I leave this behind? I met her on Monday, 'twas my lucky bun day You know what I mean I love her each weekday, each velvety cheek day You know what I mean My love gun's loaded and she's in my sights Big game is waiting there inside her tights, yeah Big bottom, big bottom Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em Big bottom drive me out of my mind How could I leave this behind? My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo I'd like to sink her with my pink torpedo Big bottom, big bottom Talk about bum cakes, my girl's got 'em Big bottom drive me out of my mind How could I leave this behind? | |

The issue of people being able to snoop on your cyberporn habits has come up numerous times in poll questions and in forum topics. However, I hadn't seen any discussion about how good the "usual suspsects" (e.g. - standard internet cleanup tools) work in terms of hiding your tracks. I came across an article here that actually looked at how good the cleanup tools worked in terms of hiding someones visits to porn sites. The results were mixed. For the average person, it would be pretty hard to find evidence. For an IT person, it only takes a 1/2 hour max to resurrect the deleted cookies and other traces. The article does suggest a program that can permanently destroy all cookies. This does lead to a related question I had know that the online version of porn tracking seems to be answered. That is, how secure is your porn on your hard drive if you password protect those files? Assuming the IT guy doesn't run a password cracking program is it easy to work around a standard password protect setup? If so, are there simple ways or programs that can provide better security? Just thought I'd try and create a "hide your tracks" one stop shopping thread here. | |

Considering that most of the world doesn't even have an internet connection you can bet your battered porn desensitized member that porn will be around for a long, long time. When something appeals to such a basic instinct it's not going any where until evolution decides it made a mistake and erases homosapians from its memory banks. | |

Sounds like you've done everything right so far. I would consider adding a comment on the site that charged you for not joining so others can also be warned. I doubt you got hacked, it's usually just a website trying to illegally sneak some more money out of you. Occasionally this kind of crap happens to all of us so let others know of your problems. | |

Somewhere on the internet is a picture of me walking my girlfriends cat on a leash ... and he'll actually walk with you ... until he gets bored of it which means it's only a five minute walk. This awards category also alters the meaning of the phrase "I spent the night with a porn star and woke up with her pussy on my face". Of course, leave it to Drooler to go all grammar police on my ass in a post about cats. | |

I'm actually pretty methodical too, generally going through all the content unless I'm really short on time or the old stuff has inferior quality. For whatever reason, most navigation systems seem to make it difficult to go to the older content. They always feature the newest updates (to be expected) but it seems like a lot of sites hide their old stuff away or have a navigation system that seems to take you back to the main page; having to re-click several times to get back to the golden oldies you were looking over. For whatever reason I dislike going through the model directory which would probably solve the navigation issues I see. I guess I just don't trust a lot of model directories to be complete when I know the tried and true method of searching each page of each category works. For me, digging through the achieves is part of the enjoyment I get from looking at and collecting "naughty" pictures. Maybe I'm just vicariously transferring my enjoyment to an activity that sites could easily remedy with a decent navigation and tagging system. | |

Handing out awards for porn vids is sort of like handing out candy at Halloween, everyone seems to get something for just showing up. No one whose into online porn takes these things seriously or even follows them (do they?). Finally, there is an award that speaks to me ... and honors some hot pussy at the same time: http://www.avn.com/galleries/Industry-Cat-Nominees-416323/416333/ | |

At least the Brits are making some semblance of an effort at an austerity budget by cutting a bunch of spending. I love how all the conservatives over here say that they're going to cut taxes, preserve military spending, roll back Obamacare (aka - no changes to medicare / medicaid) and vote for a balanced budget. Even if you eliminated all discretionary spending by the US government outside of the military (meaning no homeland defense, infrastructure or education investment, parks, etc) we'd still be running a budget deficit. The big problem here is that no one is serious about tackling our long term liabilities or making long term investments in our infrastructure and educational systems. Even if the Republicans win big on Tuesday they're still going to look like fools in a few years ... the Dems already look like "asses". | |

The reason we dislike regional pricing is because the web is supposed to "make the world flat" (borrowing from Thomas Friedman). When it comes to everyday expenses, you certainly pay different prices depending on where you live/work than others. I imagine that that I could rent my place in NY City for around $2k a month while it would only rent for about a 1/3 of that here. The point is that we choose to live/work in certain areas and, to a certain extent, choose to expose ourselves to higher/lower local prices in exchange for other opportunities (career, family, money, lifestyle, etc). The internet is supposed to be the ultimate arbitrator of democracy. So long as you have an internet connection and some computer device, you should ideally have access to the full offerings of the web. The economics of the web are pretty flat/universal as well. In the porn world, once you're done with the production costs (aka - the video/photo shoot) the post-production costs are probably about the same everywhere since everyone relies on the same technology to bring it to and maintain it on the web. If server or bandwidth costs are too high, just shift your virtual operations to an overseas virtual location (easier said than done but it can be done). So really, regional pricing is just the application of "real world" economics to a virtual world where those economic principals and barriers don't really exist. The effect is basically where there is only one McDonald's but you charged a different rate for your burger solely based upon where you came from, not the fact that you came into the store. To most of us, that flies in the face of fairness. To others, it's just a justifiable real world display of capitalism. In either case, it's an example of how the new web economy and old economy clash. | |

I have Norton 360 but I get it free so long as I stay with my current internet provider. I would say that paying $140 a year for it is entirely too much, you're much better off buying it somewhere else. I know people who use the free app AVG without problems but I've been hesitant in the past to use it simply because I don't know how "on top of it" they really are when it comes to the latest threats. A lot of antivirus / malware / etc. stuff is overrated when it comes to serious threats because it's a lot easier today to hide malicious crap in video embeds and other online postings than it has been in the past and antivirus doesn't always pick these up. When HTML 5 starts becoming more prevalent the next few years we'll see even more problems with these types of secret attacks. From my perspective, if you're paying for antivirus you're probably a little more protected than going with the free stuff and you'll definitely get better customer service if you have a problem. In any case, this topic does serve as a good reminder that no matter what you use you still need to back up your data every now and then. | |

As many of you have heard, there's been another California pornstar who's been found to have HIV. As a result, several of the large production companies have temporarily shut down production. This is probably the nail in the coffin for California requiring pornstars to use condoms in sex scenes. It was probably going to happen anyway but I think puts the icing on the cake. I was thinking that those among us who are really anti condom will have to switch their tastes to Euro porn. But I was wondering what the deal is with Euro stars testing positive for HIV. You never really hear about it in the US. Is that because it's just sort of swept under the table (I believe that is for Eastern Euro porn) and never discussed or something that doesn't raise as many eyebrows over there? | |

When it comes to vids, there does need to be some compromise. Frankly, I'd rather not have a 2-3 gig sized vid file chewing up disk space but when your only other option is a 300 mb file (say for a 30 minute vid) then quality wins over space in my book. I'm quite happy with a 700 mb to 1 gig sized file for a 30 minute vid; the only way I think you'd notice a dramatic difference in quality is if you play your vids on your t.v. in which case bigger is most always better. I think part of this trend is sites wanting to brag about having HD quality vids so they create these massive files that don't really transfer through the quality (not true HD) just to make the claim that they too have HD vids. I think giant photo sizes are just an example of lazy editing. Just cause you have a camera that take 12 mb pictures doesn't mean that you have to show them that way. Pictures greater than a few hundred kb are mostly a waste in terms of the quality not transferring through ... unless you like seeing pics on your 60" HD t.v. I think most of the photographers just don't think about file size any more since it's gotten fairly cheap and, in comparison to vids, the pics don't take up much of a sites total server footprint. Thus, the editors simply sort and crop, leaving the sizes unchanged or minimally changed. This isn't much of an issue and in fact we might appreciate the big pics more in the future. The bigger crime here is sites that still think 900x600 pixel photos are more than adequate for customers. | |

Yeah, this is just the tip of the iceberg. I'm not worried about some major hacker doing this (they're in it to steal and sell your financial and personal info, not embarrass you). Instead, it's the "fun" hacker who gets off on this stuff, not the hardened criminal types. It just shows how many computer systems aren't all that safe once you get outside of the Fortune 500 types who have big IT budgets. If nothing else, this just affirms my position of only watching porn on the computer. You can say it was someone else who had access to your machine or a computer worm if your habits ever got disclosed. | |

The problem with Scoreland is that they're not thinking far enough outside of the box. As others have suggested, correctly in my opinion, Scoreland is just setting itself up for obsolescence by going stream only. They're lazy for basically taking a DRM approach to perceived pirating and, of course, overstating their case in a ploy to gain sympathy. Sorry, but you don't get new customers from sympathy ploys, at least not in internet porn. On the other hand, if they cut their price for stream only or had a tiered system allowing users to buy downloads they might have been heading down a sustainable path. As it is, it's too late in the big boob game (as Drooler notes, it seems like it's just a matter of time before every starlet starts overinvesting in silicone) with too much competition to suddenly go DRM (which is what expensive stream only sites are). The current state of the porn biz is one one where businesses are sort of left scratching their heads. The easy money making days are long gone and now they have to deal with pirating, a fickle consumer who's used to downloading everything they see and lots of competition. Unless you've got a good niche going, a thick bankroll made when times were better, or sleek business model rolling it's going to be tough to make it without some affordable game changer technology letting the industry jump forward. I think we're just starting to sort out the future losers from the survivors in the biz. | |

Good post there Rusty. When it comes to billing, a lot of us (including me) have been around the porn block a few times have been burned at some point in the past. When a site uses a reputable 3rd party billing system that tells me that: 1) the site is "for real" and not a scam; 2) I'll have someone, besides the webmaster, to complain to or seek recourse from if something goes terribly wrong; 3) My credit card info is probably safe; and 4) I know what to expect when it comes time to cancel (no sending emails or making phone calls, just click a few times and its done). While direct billing can be the safest route to go in terms of protecting myself, that is only true if the company processing my info has a secure system in place. I admit that I am a bit reluctant when I see direct billing for porn sites (mostly newer sites or ones that are based overseas) because of this security issue. I can empathize with the site managers since porn in notorious for having it's share of bad customers as well as bad operators. I can sometimes be difficult and expensive to work with a good billing company. However, if you are running a legitimate site then the legal recourse of shoddy billing practices / systems and loss of customers will kill you. In other words, while it can be tough on the webmaster, it comes with the territory of running a respected website. The same goes with cross sales and difficult cancellation processes. If you're running a legitimate site, why do this in hopes of catching a few idiots for a few extra bucks. When I shop at Amazon (thanks $200 Tuesdays) they don't add extra stuff to my basket at checkout hoping I won't notice or require me to make a telephone call to cancel an order. Porn is a business, and the more porn sites act like a regular business the more us customers like it. I definitely think there are some people here at PU (I'm not going to address the one review/comment wonders who are just carping about something) who are a bit extreme with their take on billing. For me, it's really a nonfactor when it comes to the review unless something went wrong or there's a slew of cross sales. Anyway, I've said it before and I'm saying it again. Porn is no longer the wild west of the internet. If you want to make it, you have to run it like a retail business. Companies that shut down customers or try to trick them don't cut it in my book. For me, it reflects a lack of technological ingenuity and "monkey see, monkey due" mentality that just isn't going to help you in the long term. The porn biz is a bitch because some people steal and repost your stuff and others try to get out of paying the bill (although it seems a site should be able to track how much each member has downloaded making those situations harder to dispute) and the costs of quality are high why the profits can be low. Welcome to the real business world. | |

I hear you and it's a real pain. If I have time and the sets aren't too big, I usually just go through and download the individual pics I want. Otherwise, you just have to suffer through sorting the zip files after the fact. When doing that, I just bring up the file and then go through and resave the individual pics I want in another file and then discard the rest. A custom zip app probably won't work because of the different ways sites display and link their pics. What you might consider is a "one click" save app where you can quickly go through a photo set and "hit" the pics you want saved. I haven't looked at any but I believe those kinds of apps are out there. | |

Some of these practices like stoning aren't as much inspired by the Islamic religion as they are by cultural tradition. Taliban like practices of banning music, requiring women to wear burkhas, stoning, cutting off limbs for criminal acts, female circumcision, etc. are justified as being religious in nature when they aren't really followed by many Islamic countries or even called for in the Quoran. It's just long standing practice that is "justified" using religion. My only beef with the Muslim world is that there doesn't seem to be much of a moderate or self critical segment that speaks out against their own stupidity (Christianity has its own long and unimpressive track record of stupidity). From a western perspective, I see hypocrisy when imams call for demonstrations and apologies when some cartoonist makes fun of Mohammed but then they turn around and call for the destruction of Israel and demonize the hell out of Jewish and Christian religious icons. Anyway, a lot of the whole circus that has become the Ground Zero Mosque and Book Burning for Dummies 101 is just another example of our overhyped media. With so many new outlets jostling for exposure, every quack or extremist can get face time just by doing or saying something gonzo. The media sometimes doesn't act responsibly by asking "is this news", instead they just want to be first or jump on the wagon to fill air time or web space; essentially creating "news" that is polarizing because it's so much easier to discuss and dissect (and a ratings grabber too) than trying to explain or analyze something like economic policy. It's just easier and more satisfying to immerse your mind(and the media's own collective two celled mind) in junk journalism than it is to tackle the unpleasant or difficult issues of the world. | |

Hey, glad to you see back Toadsith. My take is that I think stream will become the standard platform in the future, there will always be a market for downloads since people will still want to own stuff. The delivery may be different, more like I-Tunes where you buy "singles" instead of a monthly membership. I also think that companies would adapt and allow downloading of older content or give downloading privileges for longer term memberships. I think it will be more expensive to pay for the downloading experience though. | |

As for Yariana, I think you've sort of missed the point. I have no problems with websites chasing down the people who post copyrighted material for others to take for free. That's against the law, period. My point is that you won't be successful in stopping it all; just like the music industry hasn't been successful in stopping pirated tunes. I think most webmasters are missing out on a market created by technology and shortened attention spans of the younger crowd to offer streams / drm at a discounted price from the standard "one size fits all" membership fee. Once the genie is out of the bottle you can't put it back in (you'll never stop pirating because even a drm video can be hacked without much problem). Thus, you need to focus on marketing more aggressively and I think this is one possible way to do it. Edited on Aug 26, 2010, 04:01pm | |

OK, first things first. Before all you porn jihadists get fired up and issue a fatwa on my ass like the last go around on this (here), let me clarify by saying this is only a "partial" defense and probably not for the reasons most people think. Also, in my defense, I post this picture from last night to explain my mindset:  In the past, I've pretty much taken the view that DRM and Stream only videos (DRM equivalent) are "evil" because you don't get to keep what you see beyond your membership time. From a collectors point of view (and most everyone who is active on PU is collector, not just a casual viewer) this is sacrilege. Given the thousands of hours I've put into my collection (surfing, sorting, viewing, discarding, organizing, editing, etc.) it's understandable that we treasure keeping what we seek. However, two things have recently caused my to shift my mindset. First, I've sort of reached a plateau or saturation point in my collection. I have stuff that hasn't seen the light of my monitor in years. I join fewer and fewer sites because I don't have the time, don't want to spend the money and I know that I got enough to keep me happy for a while. I have the mental perspective that if I don't look at my collection and tend to it then what's the point of having it. I know many here are basically freakin' hoarders who want nothing more than the next new thing and take pride in the terabytes of material they've got. That's just not how I approach my collection. Second, it's only technology that has allowed us to become collectors. I think a lot of us wouldn't have the porn collections we have if we had to actually collect dvds, magazines and tapes like the days of old. That's a bit hard to keep tastefully hidden and pretty damn expensive too. It's the big ass hard drives and higher speed web connections that have paved the way for our hobby. We also formed our collections because, realistically, that is/was the only viable way of viewing porn. If price points are the same for DRM vs. download, I'll choose to join the site that lets me download most every time. I think it's also technology that might pave the way for a resurgence in DRM or stream only porn too. If I were young today and living off of my smart phone, texting away all the time and simultaneously trying to manage both my real and virtual life while working or going to school I just wouldn't have the time to devout to building a real porn collection. Chances are pretty good too that my main computer would be a laptop with a wi-fi connection that isn't the most reliable in the world and doesn't offer blazing fast downloads and I'd be seriously thinking about ditching the laptop for an Ipad or similar device in the near future. I'd also have grown up in an age where porn is nothing more than a commodity; not knowing there was a time when download quality was mostly crap and having to hunt and peck through the online porn universe to find sites that I liked. Instead, I can go to review sites like here and instantly price compare and look at reviews and make a decision as opposed to shopping off of dubious site tours. For this fictional version of me, I'm thinking that stream or drm only makes sense in that I don't have time to build up a big ass collection (Farmville and Facebook -- the "F You's" of social networking to porn world -- take priority) and that if priced right then stream or drm lets me sample a variety of sites, sites I might later want to join later and download from to build a collection. Now, here's where the "partial defense" part comes in; and it does so in two words: "price point". Websites come into the stream / drm debate from the protection angle. They want to protect their intellectual property rights and protect their content from being posted else where or shared for free. They typically slap the same flat rate on their sites, thinking that people will still really love their product and want it just because they made it. They forget that porn is just a commodity to today's generation and that us old school types won't fork over dough just for the privilege of basically renting some of their porn flicks. Today, both my fictional self and porn/time saturated real self would consider joining a stream / drm site if the price were right. That means tiered pricing where I can pay less for stream only / drm (what exactly that price point is relative to most people so I won't delve into that issue). I'd even be happy if some of the top rated sites had a "classics" site where I could join for less and only see content that isn't the newest release -- I got enough for now so that I have the patience to wait. This doesn't mean that I only want vids geared towards smart phones, I still want quality. However, I might be willing to compromise and give up the download only if the price were right. Hell, if I really liked the stuff, then I might pay more for the privilege of downloading it (pure DRM / stream will never really work as an economic model in this porn saturated age with everyone making porn vids). Most sites don't seem to get this concept, still offering flat rates or tiered pricing based upon access to content, not the format of viewing available. So, my partial defense is really more of a defense of a fictional future, not the current reality. That's too bad since I think there is a market with today's younger generation and some of us porn saturated types. | |

Damn, Severin had to bring up that whole damn Nazi thing (proving Turboshaft's prophecy correct). I guess I should have made more clear my point about "overt racism" as opposed to generic racism. It's pretty hard to discriminate against a Jew or a Pole just by looking at them because they don't look much different from a lot of people. It's a lot easier to diss someone who just by their appearance is different from you or your society in general. The only way that the "eugenically unfortunate" were identified by the European Catholic Church or "the post Weimar Republic whose name we shall not speak" was by forced segregation and/or making them wear some type of identifying symbol of their "inferiority". Other than the whole Jewish thing, Europe has only had relatively short periods in their recent history where race or ethnicity has been a central issue taken that's needed to be addressed by a democratic government or free society in general. Now, I'd say it's more of permanent societal issue. I guess my point was that unless you have acceptance on some level and provide opportunities for upward mobility then a society will have problems integrating it's immigrant population. | |
