I recently made a comment regarding Joanna Angel in reference to ‘altporn’ and… well, it’s a shitstorm.
Gossip and rumor aren’t what this blog’s about and I’ve never met Ms. Angel. I could have got this all wrong and people keep telling me I have so, for the record:
I quoted Joanna in a movie, which I haven’t seen, saying something I thought was an excellent example of things not being cool in groovyaltpornville. It was fresh in my mind because it was part of a discussion I’d had with the director of the movie for an upcoming podcast and it shocked me. I was told it was part of a videotaped ‘confession’ and I wasn’t under the impression was staged. Now I’m being told it was and, if I was too dumb to pick up on that, came to the wrong conclusion and made Joanna look like a racist unfairly, then I apologize. My point about much ‘altporn’ being totally conventional beneath the superficialities is still true even if I messed up my evidence.
So everyone who’s emailing me on this from Silverlake please chill out. I don’t know Joanna but I’m sure I’d love her. In fact Joanna – drop me a line, I’d love to interview you about this and everything else you do. Everyone loves you and I know that because they’re telling me I’m an asshole.
I’m far from perfect and would hate to be the victim of a negative public accusation that’s entirely incorrect. If I’ve inadvertently abused my platform that’s bad, and why this is here now.
Joanna – I’m sorry.
(On a a side note a link in yesterdays post was broken so please read this today.)

Personaly, I think if you simply mistook waht you were told then that reasonable. If anyone had said it to me then I would say the same thing. Most people, would consider what they say first.
Someone did not. Still, one has to ask. Why say something so stark if it is not true? No amount of apology, will redeem a celebrity once they are known for shock value staements. And the people that do gravitate to them are usually fickle and easily amused.
Oops. I just sent you a post putting Joanna on blast before rereading this retraction. When I first read this, as a person of color I was like, “what the hell?” Can we not get any breaks in the world? But if it’s said in a certain context and not what she honestly believes, then I too apologize and you can delete my previous posting.
Admitting mistakes? That’s… almost human! You’ll never survive on the internet.
Hey there, It’ had me kinda pissed all day thinkng that people in alt porn were more accepting then main stream. Being vegan in the post punk era that believe in veganism for anti establishment or so i’ve heard.In my experience every time i’ve visited a place where pp people are where we both eat vegan cuisine.Still i get the f’ing stares! Ones some get trying so hard to be differant so people with those views are going to be every wher i still love my people billy idol,Jane’s addiction/DaveNavarro and all those post people who don’t mind shagging a hot colored peson even if it’s not they’re preference but gets them turned on that it pisses so many people off who don’t.In some 4ways she not a b4ig star not to go to insults but in her defense she’s entitled to fuck who she wants if i was supposed to work with her and found out the scene went bad cause she’s not attracted to black guys or me cause i’m black i would be so grossed out and probably pick up on it. During the scene as well i might notice. possibly again messing it up. I heard she did recently a cream pie with my homie Mr. marcus so maybe she has prefereneces or peer pressure don’t know but that’s cool except when we go back to make the comment then it is sort of retarded and even more so gross. On many levels AND MM said to be by her on a podcast i listened to was her first! To get to a bigger point she and you are receiving heat but no one is saying anything about jenna jameson who says she does not like working with or are turned by black guys…Is this the reason she’s is big or because of her status she can feel that way either way it’s her6 right and mine to never be turned on by her because she’s what i thought alt porn was fighting against blond no ass big boobs. Ahh such a perfect world we all could possibly relate by watchi6ng a film non adult called “crash” it won a l6il award and it was’nt avn i recommend all involved see it just to get a better spectrum of thought…ciao.Especially all those sending in shit mail ask if they watched it another quick point it reminds of that o.j. case even though he’s been found innocent and if it was any other case he would be treated differantly but poeple still walk up and call him a murder while Mark Furmen proven be to a corrupt racist psycho path who used and abused his power to tamper and plant evidence on many occasions to get people found guilty has been seen as of a month or two with a book on news shows paying money for his opinions. Says again that me i’m crazy and it makes perfect sense.Oh yeah i wanna be liked oj. did it there- i’m part of the witch hunt again.
