"Watch out for meanies," Ed Powers tells young Cassie after he's fucked the wide-eyed teenager in the ass and dumped his jizz-filled condom on her tits. "Don't work with anyone who will disrespect you." Puh-leeze.

Pairing nubiles barely out of high school with Powers and his black socks, old-guy pony-tail, and molesting-uncle persona, these are - at least to this reviewer - some of the creepiest videos in porn. Creepy or not, the Dirty Debs series and its endless spin-offs have an immediacy that much porn lacks, and, judging by its continuing success, it seems that a lot of people dig the Debs.

Debs 240-242 are, more or less, the same videos Ed's been putting out forever. The best part: the girls - pretty much all hotties and new to the business. Some standout performances from 240 include Cassie, a beach girl blonde with a compliant attitude and big natural boobies, and Azteca, a Hispanic girl with a bright, heart breakingly beautiful smile and a boyfriend who's too cowardly to perform on camera without wearing a mask. Highlights of 241 include Krystal and Desirée Mac - two friends who are also first-time lesbos. In 242 the show belongs to Ann Harlow and her suitcase pimp, Buster White - a couple of fresh-off-the-Greyhound hayseeds who have a real chemistry together, in spite of White's sullen attitude.

The worst part of these three videos: Ed Powers as a performer. Powers' lame patter and less-than-cut physique ensure let's-get-this-over-with performances from the ladies, and, while we're not in the business of telling whether on-camera orgasms are fake or real, some of Powers' "pop-shots" consisting of the dude pulling out, then pouring a condom on his co-stars' rack - are inexplicable. These videos heat up most when the Debutantes are doing their boyfriends (or other girls) and Powers stays behind the camera.
