PornWhat Do Dr. Drew & Jessica Sierra Have in Common?Authored by Scott Goldberg on December 19, 2007 - 11:35am.
The answer to that question, my American Idol-loving friends, is that Drew has been asked to appear in court on Sierra’s behalf by her lawyer, says TMZ. The former Idol star is facing two misdemeanor charges – disorderly intoxication and obstructing justice – and two felonies – cocaine possession and felony battery.

Sex Tape of ‘American Idol’ Finalist Jessica Sierra set for ReleaseAuthored by Scott Goldberg on December 6, 2007 - 12:10pm.
The misfortunes of Jessica Sierra, former American Idol finalist, continue. Or, perhaps, her fortunes have improved. It seems a mandatory addition to any wannabe celebrity’s portfolio is a sex tape, and today it has been announced that Sierra finally has hers (see Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Pam Anderson, et al, ad nauseum for more examples). Paris Hilton Confronts Porn Shop over use of her ImageAuthored by Scott Goldberg on November 1, 2007 - 5:44pm.
Doing an imitation of Johnny’s Halloween costume from Karate Kid, Paris Hilton raided a Toronto porn shop and demanded the removal of two “disgusting” cutouts of her image in a video obtained by TMZ. Now for the big question: What was Paris Hilton doing in a Toronto porn shop?

Google the Pimp Strikes Again with More Porn!Authored by Scott Goldberg on July 12, 2007 - 10:40am.
I thought I was doing everyone a favor the last time I compiled a list of Google search terms to stay away from, lest you should expose your delicate eyes to surprisingly graphic and hideous porn. But some disagreed: Shaun wrote, “If you turn on SafeSearch using the strict filters, guess what happens? The bad images go away!” Here’s the thing Shaun: I don’t want to turn on SafeSearch! Besides, my SafeSearch is already set to “Moderate,” which should suffice! No, I’d rather see the depraved Mountain View crew sling porn at me like Chinese throwing stars. And not only do I want to dodge those throwing stars, I want to relay their existence to you, the loyal DMW reader. Markie wrote, “The computer is not a baby-sitter! You have to watch your children!” Exactly, Markie! And that’s where I come in. So sit down and take notes, folks, here are 5 more terms to stay away from if you want to avoid that Pimp of all Pimps, Google…
Google the Pimp: 10 Searches to Get Your Porn On!Authored by Scott Goldberg on April 27, 2007 - 1:55pm.
They’re a dirty lot, those Mountain View folks. You search everyday words and get horrifyingly salacious pictures in return! Google is run by pimps, I say. Peddling this stuff front and center like the cigarette rack at 7-Eleven. The following are 10 terms (and believe me, they aren’t the only 10) that result in pornographic images on a Google image search. To make the list, however, traces of porn had to turn up on the first page. If your eyes are sensitive, either for religious or personal purposes (or because you just had your pupils dilated), I urge you to stay away! Google indeed pushes the boundaries of good taste, going well beyond nude human flesh. It’s enough to make Larry Flynt cringe…
Study Finds Porn on One of Four Corporate ComputersAuthored by Scott Goldberg on April 17, 2007 - 4:57pm.
The truth of the American workplace rears its naked head yet again. In an audit of 10,000 PCs at 125 business and public sector networks over the last nine months, PixAlert – a company that blocks illicit images on corporate networks – found that 25% contained some form of pornography. The study determined that 46.8% showed full nudity and/or sexual activity; 0.3% were deemed “illegal.”

Chicago - Some 42% of U.S. youth (ages 10-17) have seen online pornography, with two-thirds saying they were not looking for porn when they encountered it, according to a new study from the University of New Hampshire in Durham published in the medical journal Pediatrics. Wired News: Vivid Entertainment to Launch "Burn to DVD" Porn DownloadsAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on March 31, 2006 - 7:52am.
San Francisco - Wired News on Friday reported on a forthcoming offering from adult entertainment firm Vivid Entertainment that will let users purchase and download an adult film from its website, and then burn the film to a DVD that plays on standalone DVD players. "We expect the service to be extremely popular," Vivid CEO Steven Hirsch told Wired News. "Just hit the button, download and burn." Launching April 3, Vivid's Burn to DVD service will utilize a delivery system powered by All Adult Entertainment, which uses digital rights management that enforces a one burn limit on downloads. Hirsh added that Vivid shoots 80% of its productions in high-definition, and in the future the service will be upgraded to HD.
Army Finds No Fault in Initial Probe of Site With Porn, Iraq War PhotosAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on September 30, 2005 - 3:37am.
Washington - Just days after announcing the investigation, the U.S. Army said that no felonies have been committed and furthermore that it failed to determine whether gory Iraq and Afghanistan battlefield photos on a U.S. website were submitted by U.S. soldiers, Reuters reported. NowThatsFuckedUp.com offers free amateur pornography to soldiers, in exchange for photos of themselves posing with dead and mutilated bodies. "It's entirely inappropriate for the military to do such a cursory investigation of something that is really casting a very negative light on our nation's military and can only serve to further damage America's image and interests throughout the Islamic world," Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, told Reuters. However, the Army said it has not ruled out a formal criminal investigation, or the possibility of limiting troops' use of their own cameras and computers in war zones. "We're not blowing this off," Army spokesman Col. Joe Curtin told Reuters. "There are multiple challenges here. One is the anonymity of the sources, dates, times, locations, units, anything that is reasonably identifiable that we can work off of."
Army Probes Site Where Soldiers Trade Gory Battlefield Photos for PornAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on September 28, 2005 - 5:19am.
New York - The New York Times reported on Wednesday that the U.S. Army is investigating a website that offers soldiers free pornography in exchange for gruesome pictures of dead Iraqis and Afghans. "Pictures in this forum are submitted by U.S. Soldiers from over in Iraq and Afghanistan and will probably be a little gory. So if you get sick easy or have a problem with dead terrorists please don't look here," reads a note on NowThatsFuckedUp.com, whose contents include photos of soldiers posing with dead and dismembered bodies, with crude captions. A Pentagon official told The Times it was reviewing whether the photos might be a violation of the Geneva Conventions, while Army spokesman Paul Boyce told The Times they might violate the "conduct unbecoming an officer" provision of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. "To me, this is from the soldier's slant. This is directly from them. They can take the digital cameras and take a picture and send it to me, and that's the most raw you can get it. I like to see it from their point of view, and I think it's newsworthy," Chris Wilson, the site's administrator, said in an interview last week in USC's Online Journalism Review.
Court Debates Law Designed to Shield Kids from Internet PornAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on March 3, 2004 - 7:02am.
Washington, D.C. -- The Bush administration's top lawyer is pushing the Supreme Court to let stand a 1998 law designed to protect children from Internet porn, but assailed by some as a violation of free speech. Solicitor General Theodore Olson told the court that the government has a responsibility to shield children from porn, since it is "persistent and unavoidable," the AP reported. For the second time since the bill was originally signed by President Clinton in 1998, the court is deciding on the legality of the Child Online Protection Act (COPA), which has twice been struck down by a federal appeals court on separate constitutional grounds. The law would impose criminal penalties on commercial web sites that fail to make good faith efforts to restrict the access of sexual content to children under the age of 17. The ACLU, however, argues that such a law would inevitably block the access of adults, as well, making it unconstitutional.
