AVN didn't "remove" the two press releases about Hush-Hush Entertainment inviting Kanye to star in "Blackzilla"; we never ran them in the first place. I did make reference to Nate's Hush-Hush PR under the headline "Kanye West Porn Rumor A Fake".

You claim here that I wrote both Kanye stories for AVN. In reality, I wrote only the one debunking the rumor.

I thought the whole Kanye thing was funny. To begin with, AVN.com simply reported that this gossip was circulating on the Internet... and remarked that the "bisexual Kanye" comments were likely a misquote at best. The headline was "Kanye West Graduates to Porn?" - note the punctuation.

When the Kanye camp confirmed the whole thing was bogus, I wrote and posted my story in place of the first. If I had it to do over again, I'd probably leave both stories up.

Anyway, that's the whole "pot/kettle" cover-up you seem so eager to expose. I see the point you're trying to make; had we reported the Kanye rumor as fact, or failed to attribute the source, you'd have a stronger case.

Regardless, there are plenty of things you could point out to help sustain your hard-on against AVN. (When exactly was it not "ridiculous" in your opinion?) Bashing AVN has to be the easiest sport in the entire Porn Special Olympics.

As for my Violet Blue editorial, I stand by it...including the use of David Aaron Clark's quote.

I've already heard from Gia and a dozen other readers of the piece; I'd be happy to hear opinions from Malice, Jeff, and others on XPT.
