Helpme, it was hard taking your posts seriously as the spelling and punctuation was so shoddy.

Regarding your claims, the best I can decipher them:

* AIM says they test about 1000 performers a month. That sounds like an excessive number to me but I don't know. I know that a lot of people test at AIM (such as myself) who are not performers.

* Most performers are not condom-mandatory. I agree. The percentage varies depending on such things as if there's been a recent HIV case.

* I remember AIM putting out periodic press releases about chlamydia outbreaks and the need for everyone to get tested. I find it hard to believe that the percentage is as stable as you say, but I don't know.

* I don't know much about medical testing, so I'll just have to take your word on the specifics.

Again, it's hard to take anything you write seriously as you read like someone with a third grade education.




Luke Luke Luke, where do I start?
For someone who covers the industry I find it amazing that you dont even know that AIM tests about 1000 performers a month. Have one of your buddies check the website with all the results. The facts are right there. Its that simple. Even you could do it.

YOU say the percentage of condom useres vary depending on thingsd like a recent hiv outbreak. There has only been one outbreak in lthe last seven years. And the vast majority of performers continued non-condom right through last years outbreak. Get real, please.

If I'm not mistaken, just about every press release AIM puts out encourages people to test. Is it possible that at times there are spikes in the number of positives? Of course, but to try to blame a spike like this on one person like you did is ridiculous.


For a supposed 'journalist"(in a recent article you posted, lara roxx asked if you were a "journalist" who coverd the adult industry. You said YES. Real journalists check their facts. The facts about AIM testing are availabel to companies online. ALL the results are there to see. Dont tell me a JOURNALIST like yourself cant verify these facts.


And its hard to take you seriously too luke, when alot of what you write is outright bullshit, especially regarding AIM.

But that is the job of a GOSSIP COLUMNIST, not a journalist. You seem to have lost site of the fact that you are a gossip writer, not a journalist. The sad fact is that some people believe the stuff you write without realizing this is a gossip,b.s., web blog.

But of course sometimes you do bring up good points and well you did hit the Marc W. incidents right on the head.


But please, when 'reporting' on something as vital as the health and well being of the performers , at least try to be semi accurate. That would be an improvement. The fact regarding these issues are easey to verify, it just takes a litle "journalistic investigating."


So what about that 'junkie phleb thing you wrote LUke. WHERE DID YOU GET THAT INFOR FROM? OR DID YOU JUST MAKE IT UP? I am referring to the short post a few months ago where you speculated that the reason they are so good with needles is because they are probably all ex junkies. WEll maybe they jjust all have YEARS of experience drawing blood. Doesnt that sound a bit more believalbe, but not as juicy as calling them junkies,right?

And of course luke is just like alot of people on this board. He cant respond with substance to the post so he attacks the typing skills and puncuation, as if that makes his owm total bullshit more beleivable. Good try Luke.

Do you have any journalism degree at all? Just wondering. I bet not, but I may be wrong. Am i wrong luke?

But I must also commend you for admitting that you know little about AIMS testing procedures(even after years of reporting about it) and little about the number of positives every month. But for a "journalist" covering this most important topic in your industry, how can you not know this stuff after so many YEARS?
