DCypher of HardcoreGossip.com responds to Duke Floored's article on the Chasey Lain O.D. story. ("Duke Floored" is actually Luke Ford the person--not to be confused with LukeFord.com). At the beginning of Duke Floored's original Chasey Lain O.D. article on the AdultBeat.com website, he briefly quoted someone named Don Ho, but the rest of the article were the words of Duke Floored. However, in DCypher's original response to the Duke Floored article, he got confused and thought that the article was written by Don Ho. When Duke Floored found out, he took DCypher to task via a heated exchange of e-mails between them. DCypher made the decision to edit his original response (posted below), substituting the name of Duke Floored everywhere in his article he had erroneously mentioned Don Ho. Note: Although I can't prove it, I'm 99.9999% certain that "Don Ho" is none other than Duke Floored (aka Luke Ford). Luke Ford (his real name) has a history of coming up with fictitious people and quoting them in his articles as if they're real. You can take it to the bank that "Don Ho" is Duke Floored, even though DCypher seems to think that Don Ho is a real person. Kind of confusing, isn't it?

Chasey Lain OD Scandal Exposed- ***UPDATED***

[By DCypher, January 12th, 2004]

After a series of insulting emails I have exchanged with Don Ho this evening I have come to the knowledge that Don Ho did not say ANY of the things in the adultbeat.com article and that in fact Duke has only quoted Don Ho for the following:

1. "Tiffany Case" is a character in a Bond flick. Which I know off the top of my head.
2. "Chasey Lain's" real name is Tiffany Jones. Which I find out in 30 seconds.


The problem stems from a misreading of another Duke Floored article, in which his befuddled writing has lead me to believe that Don Ho had said the litany of unacceptable statements. Fuck me. How do you tell someone that they were right, you are sorry for the misunderstanding, and go fuck yourself? When I find out, I'll tell Don Ho. Until then, I have replaced the words Don Ho with DUKE FLOORED. I guess that settles that...

*** *** ***
There is a breaking story running on ADULT BEAT from DUKE FLOORED about Chasey Lain's apparent cocaine overdose on the Convention Floor during AEE. I have checked with my sources that tell me that it is TRUE but that she is all right.

The article goes on to slam AVN, VIVID, and Tim Connelly, accusing them of covering up the overdose for fear of making AVN and porn look bad. DUKE FLOORED castigates Tim and to call up a litany of decisions that Tim has made since he became publisher he disagrees with. He claims, without a shred of substantiation, that Tim tried to cover the story up, amongst other ludacrious claims.

Me personally, I am happy to have Tim as the spokesperson for the Adult Entertainment Industry, which I got the chance to tell him to his face during the show. As to the accusations that have been levelled against him, let's go through them, shall we? Then we can try to make sense of them.

TIM BROUGHT EXTREME BACK INTO THE FOLD
I understand and sympathize with those of you who lament AVN, Paul, and Tim's decision to bury the grudge with Extreme Associates, Rob Black, and Evolution Erotica. I can assure you that on some level this must have been difficult for everyone involved. After all, Rob Black ran a malicious, personal character attack against Paul Fishbein, including starting a website entitled fuckpaulfishbein.com, in which he was depicted as a dancing Hitler. No, you say, that doesn't sound like Rob Black. Sure it is. No one has more reason to hate Rob than Paul, so for Paul to bury the hatchet and accept him back, there must be a good reason.

I am just speculating here. We know that it wasn't money because Rob doesn't have any, and his checks are no good anyway. If I had to guess, AVN brought Rob back to rein him in and put him on a leash so he could be walked through his obscenity trial that AFFECTS US ALL with it's outcome. Do you want Rob making a circus act out of his trial and saying, fuck porn, who cares what happens, when we all have to live with the aftermath of his trial? Tim, Paul, and everyone involved deserve our praise and our thanks for that, not scorn. Pull your head out of your ass, DUKE FLOORED, and wake up. Ashcroft is still riding a white horse through Porn Valley and swinging the sickle and you might be next. The war on terror is turning on it's own citizens. For further education on that, check the latest AVN article by Mark Kernes.

TIM GOT RID OF BILL LYON FROM FSC AND REPLACED HIM WITH KAT SUNLOVE
The Free Speech Coalition has been as rife with corruption as the Italian Government for years. We could spend days and days discussing just this issue alone. Why don't you post the real issue here instead of pointing fingers? You accuse AVN of hiding something after this cryptic, good ole boy post?

TIM TRIED TO COVER UP THE CHASEY LAIN STORY
Great. Good. Now you've got some good stuff here. How did he try to cover it up? The only thing you say Don is that AVN didn't cover it on their website, AVN.COM. Where is the rest of your proof? Let's hear it, and it better be substantiated this time with some real fucking evidence. I will hold my breath.

TIM FORCED ALL PORN STARS TO TEST AT AIM
I loved this one personally. This was the most malicious of them. First of all, Tim isn't forcing people to test at AIM. They can test at their personal doctor if they like, as long as it is a valid PCR DNA test. You suggest Don that the reason he does this is because Sharon is his former lover. What you fail to mention is that the "other clinic" who shall remain nameless, was returning inaccurate test results and was engaged in questionable and unsafe practices. You fail to mention that several HIV POSITIVE performers were sent to this other clinic and came back with NEGATIVE results from their lab tests, effectively proving the clinic to be not only ineffective, but DANGEROUS. Any time you want to answer to any of these allegations, let me know.

I found this statement particularly quixotic...

This is typical how our industry leaders deal with life-threatening problems like AIDS and drugs and the like. They deny them. They cover them up. They lie about them. They pour hatred and threats upon the messenger of bad news.

Who are these industry leaders? Paul Fishbein? Tim Connelly? Steve Hirsch? When have they denied that AIDS is a real and serious issue in the world or in porn? When have they come out and said that drugs are not real or that they don't affect the porn industry? Where is this virulent hatred for AVN coming from and why is it so misdirected?

Another bizzare statement as far as I am concerned, was this...

I wonder why a classy joint like the Venetian would want porn conventions if porners are going to do a bunch of drugs, damage their suites, spread diseases, wear obscene t-shirts and jackets, and otherwise frighten the polite citizens of the otherwise wholesome casino?

I am glad to see it was at least given as a musing rather than a CNN report this time. Let me address it, too. First of all, not all porners do drugs. Second of all, drug addiction is a problem facing all professions, not just pornography.

Next, who damaged a suite at the Venetian? Are you sure you aren't just talking out your ass again DUKE FLOORED?

And what is this nonsense about spreading disease? Porn stars are tested regularly for VD in the course of their work, at reliable clinics like AIM who don't return dangerously inaccurate test results, which is far better than the odds you face taking some chick home from a bar. I also don't think these polite citizens you are so worried about protecting were fucking the porn stars, and the only place in the world that has airborne chylamedia is China, so that's not the issue. How are the porn stars spreading disease? Are they going door to door and handing out crabs? Can you name a case where a polite citizen visiting the Venetian contracted herpes because a dirty porn star was staying there at the same time? I'm beginning the think that LUKE FORD is the the psuedonym for Jimmy Swaggart.

I can personally say that the polite citzens of the wholesome casino were the only people I saw wearing obscene t-shirts. I never once saw Andrew Blake dressed in a shirt that read "IT'S MY BIRTHDAY NOW SUCK MY DICK" or Michael Ninn wearing a shirt that said "THE MAN, THE LEGEND" with one arrow pointing to his head and one to his crotch. I saw both of those shirts on the same polite citizens that came to the showfloor and bellowed out obscenities at passing girls, grabbed my girlfriends ass, and are probably at home now with their wives and children trying to hide the contraband they got signed under their beds with the crucifix hanging over them.

The article you wrote DUKE FLOORED is stupid, antiporn, and crude, lacking style or substance, but most of all lacking validity. I hope Tim personally responds to you because he could take you apart in seconds and teach you some fucking manners. As to AVN covering it up, read all about it as well as another OD here on AVN.COM, CHASEY LAIN OD ARTICLE

Here is the bottom line. Chasey has a substance abuse problem. It is problem that 1,776,923 people checked into rehab for in 2000 alone according to the SAMHSA It is not Tim's fault that Chasey has a drug problem, or Paul Fishbein's or Steve Hirsch's or Rob Fucking Black's. Next time think before you open your fucking mouth or address the real issues bothering you, DUKE FLOORED.
