This is why I don’t shoot in the Philippines. Well, that and I’ve known some people to be kidnapped there and seriously extorted by the police. Oh, and there was the two Dutch guys running web cams who were shot in the head. All pretty good reasons I think.
Those crazy Japanese will throw down and fuck just about anywhere. God bless them. Read this.
Then they got deported. Read the follow up.
No thanks.
This story is worth a read.
It’s never a dull moment for those of us who shoot porn in other countries. First it was the arrest of the notorious John T Bone in Pattaya, then a Japanese crew in Pattaya and now an American (George Edward Chernesky) in Cambodia. Though, I’m not sure he was mass producing videos or just trying to shoot some for personal use. Whatever he was doing, I hope it was worth it.
I guess his Holiday In Cambodia is going to be a little longer than he expected.
Death to pornographers in Thailand? What!?!?
The rumors have been stirring as of late about the new law they want to pass that would bring execution to anyone who produces or distributes pornographic material in the Kingdom Of Thailand.
We are following this new proposed law closely and will let you know what we find out, but it already has a lot of support from the people.
For lack of better words, this is fucking nuts. I doubt they would actually move forward with something like this but who knows?
I guess John T Bone escaped this time and will get to live to die another day. Though, Mr. Kincade called me after seeing this news story on CNN and asked me when we were going back to shoot. That guy is too hardcore for his own good. One minute he wants to retire, the next minute he wants to risk being shot by a firing squad.
So the other night I was driving my moped (because that’s who I roll), heading back to the crib and did my routine stop at the Family Mart to pick up some water and Gatorade. I had been having a great day, banged a hot chick a few hours before and was still thinking about her glorious tits as I pulled up to a mass of people on the side of the road near Family Mart, looking across the street into the condo complex. At the time I didn’t think much of it and went into the store, got my goods and walked out. Then I saw a police truck pull up (with police in the back) along with a motorbike policeman right behind it. Knowing that’s where John T Bone was staying, three thoughts came to my mind: 1) John had a heart attack. 2) They had a problem at one of their shoots. 3) John is in trouble. If you guessed what was behind door #3 you are correct.
I called my Thai friend to come and find out what was going on. She arrives and starts talking to all the locals, then tells me they arrested a guy for making sex movies. Now, this is not the first time this condo has been used for sex movies, but as far as I know, John was the only one there at the time making them. “Uh-oh” I thought, and sat down to eat some noodles and watch it unravel. They eventually brought John out and put him in a van and took him away with another guy (which I missed while I went to pee). The guy ended up being Vin Cross (another producer – shot for Hustler) but at the time I didn’t know that. There was a lot of guys walking around, taking pics and what not, all of which turned out to be plain clothed police officers, and then the news came that John went to the police station.
Right about now I’m shitting bricks because my room was just a few buildings down, so I went back and started packing. The next morning it was confirmed to me exactly what happened (via other sources) so I split town on the next flight out of the country.
Then it officially hits the news and it was only a matter of hours before the adult webmasters in Thailand had this all over the internet.
Then today I hear that I am to blame for this arrest.
Then I read on another adult gossip site that I make videos with underage performers.
Both are absurd, however it appears that John and Vin (or someone from their camp) are hell bent on taking me (or others) down with them and blame me for their reckless work habits that led to their arrests. One of the sites states that the police have a photo of John shooting that was taken by me a few weeks before. Again, that is not true. I have not worked with John or taken any pics for him, of him, for well over a year now. However, John’s blog is full of pics of him shooting models there and I’m sure that is where it came from. But I guess a man needs to point his finger at someone rather than to look in the mirror.
So for the record, I did not turn anyone in, and I do not shoot children. My documents are the best in Thailand and anyone who has dealt with me knows this. I can back up any ID I have. And if I were to turn anyone in that would be slitting my own throat because it will without question put what we do more in the spotlight. Not very smart. As of now it looks like nobody is going to be shooting in Thailand because the police were notified without a doubt about other sites, courtesy of John.
This was a quote from John in the news:
“Mr. John Gilbert Bowen said that his was not only the website that is dedicated to the porn business; there are literally thousands of them. As most of the customers of these porn sites are foreigners, Bowen considered they should not be illegal. If the police want to arrest him, he continued, then they should arrest those who run every other porn website, as well.”
I’m not sure how this will play out. It’s not good to see anyone going to jail in any country, however I have a feeling that I’m going to get sucked into their pile of shit. I’m going to get my boots on and will be open for comments if anyone wants to chat about this or has other info.
I’m laying in a hotel bed recovering from what was one of the worst cases of the Flu I’ve ever had, and I turn on the TV to catching up world news.
One of the stations is going on and on about President Bush and his visit to Latin America, and says this:
“Police put down violent demonstrations in Colombia, and in Guatemala, Indian priests plan to purify an archaeological site after Bush visits. In Sao Paulo on Thursday, riot police fired tear gas and clubbed some protesters after some 6,000 people held a largely peaceful march.”
The part about the Indians purifying a site after Bush visits there was a powerful statement. It’s one thing to dislike or even hate a world leader, but to honestly think of him as evil or somehow who will taint something just by his mere presence. You really suck as a human if people think of you in this manner. I mean, you really, really need to rethink what you are doing if people want to purify places after you visit them.
I’ve known some some E-V-I-L people on this planet and none of them need a place to be purified after they leave. That really says something.
Oops.
Where I come from, if you’re gonna kill a man, you at least stay awake while you have other people do your dirty work.
What good is condemning your enemy to death if you’re not the last thing he sees before you put him to sleep?
Uh oh.
Talk about getting out of town in the nick of time.

I saw this coming and only have 2 words for all of the parties involved in this case: “Forensic Evidence”
Next time you may want to do a little of that before you bring someone around the world and create a media frenzy. The guy is a pedo for sure, but a little homework would have saved a lot of time, effort, money and embarrassment.
Lets chalk this one up as a Forensic Fail.
Like the rest of the world, I have been watching CNN and all they are talking about (when they are not discussing the pedo John Marc Karr from Thailand) is how this latest foiled terror plot would have been worse than 9-11.
Then I laugh and head for the DVD shelf and pull out Team America.
Team America fans may recall the following quotes:
Spottswoode: From what I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.N.C.E has gathered, it would be 9/11 times 100.
Gary Johnston: 9/11 times a hundred? Jesus, that’s…
Spottswoode: Yes, 91,100.
Chris: Basically, all the worst parts of the bible.
And my favorite:
Kim Jong Il: It will be 911 times 2356.
Chris: My God, that’s… I don’t even know what that is!
Kim Jong Il: Nobody does!
Every time I hear them talking about the attack would have been worse than 9-11, I can’t help but laugh and watch Team America one more time.
Fuck ya!
So I wake up today to hear that John Mark Karr was captured in Thailand for the murder of JonBenet Ramsey 10 years ago. Not news that surprises me but what did send bumps down my neck is that he was living in The Blooms, which also doubles as a short time hotel for fucking whores. Though I have no idea who this guy is, I am guilty of doing despicable things to Thai prostitutes in this very hotel.
Though it seems like a playground for those trying to escape something and hide, Thailand is not really the right place to “disappear,” at least not these days. At one time it was but now one must flee deep into Cambodia or Laos if you truly want to fade away into nothing. My bet is that he went there anyway on holiday to bang little girls, but that is just my opinion. His mistake was not living there and trying to work in Thailand.
This guy looks like a fruit cake to me. I’m going to go out on a limb and say he’s a mental case and may not be the guy they are looking for.
Another canceled launch.
Unlike Mike South (mikesouth.com), I am not a rocket scientist and I have never worked at NASA. Maybe one of you smart folks could explain to me, as if I am three years old, why the space shuttle can fly in space, but not in the rain.
It has parts that crack, parts that break, the foam panels get messed up… all while flying around 17500 miles per hour. But if there is a slight chance of rain or clouds, the launch is canceled.
It can orbit the earth at amazing speeds and get hit with space debris in the process, yet the thing simply falls apart while sitting on the launch pad, and rain will stop a launch. I don’t understand.
I’m all ears if anyone would like to take the time to explain this to me. Mike?
Well, he didn’t technically have a baby, don’t be fucking stupid, but he did father one.
He stopped by today to show off his son. I think he takes after his mamma.
What do you think?
A woman who lives but a few minutes from me was arrested today for not paying ONE DOLLAR ($1) in taxes. Unreal.
