I am trying to get rid of all the people who, are "meta tagging" my name on the web. I'm sure you know what that is, it's when they list your name as being on their site, to pull traffic to their site, but you are nowhere on there at all. It is an illegal, and unethical misapporpriation of your private name. At any rate, there were a few of them, one of them being : xxxxxxxxx.com The chicks name who is webmaster is .... She, apparently, is an A.D. for Al Borda & Jay Shanihan, neither of whom I have met. And so, I email her asking her nicely to remove my name from her site. She emails me back saying who the hell am I and what business is it of mine? I mail her back and tell her to ask around, that she will find out exactly who I am. Then I send her another email asking her for an expedient and gracious removal of my name. Then comes this reply: FUCK YOU This is something so minor I dont want to bother my lawyer MR.

My emails to her have always been courteous & civil and I dont think I deserved this kind of reply WHEN THEY ARE THE ONES IN THE WRONG in this situation. Id sure appreciate it if you might be able to help. Let me know. Thanks!"

Peeping Is Now a Crime

While Sasha Gabor rots in jail with wistful dreams of Norway and its mighty fjords occupying his mind, Gov. Gray Davis has signed into law another significant bill - this one making it a crime for voyeurs to use hidden video cameras to look up the skirts of unsuspecting women.

The law, sponsored by Assemblyman Dick Ackerman (R-Fullerton), prohibits secretly videotaping or photographing another person under or through their clothing with the intent of personal gratification.

Current ``Peeping Tom'' laws only prohibit looking "through a hole or opening into a bathroom, changing room or any other area that has a reasonable expectation of privacy."

The new law, which takes effect January 1, and carries with it a $1,000 fine and a misdemeanor sentence of up to six months in jail, would extend protections to any place there is a reasonable expectation of privacy. Illegal photos would be defined as those taken of someone's body or undergarments for the purpose of arousal or sexual gratification.

Ackerman's original bill made the offense a felony, but he amended it to reduce the penalty to a misdemeanor. The California Attorneys for Criminal Justice had complained in a letter to Ackerman that a felony conviction for video peeping might put someone in prison for life under California's three-strikes sentencing law.

"It was time to put a stop to those who would victimize women by using the latest technology to invade their privacy and make a dirty profit,'' said Ackerman. "We can now penalize these voyeurs for their crimes."

Technological advances have allowed some cameras to be as small as a pager or disguised in a water bottle or boom box. Voyeurs can film someone as they go up an escalator, or place a bag with surveillance equipment under women's skirts while they're waiting in line somewhere. Ackerman heard about such practices and wrote the new law.

The measure was pushed by Anaheim police, who were frustrated last year over their inability to prosecute a man using a hidden video camera at Disneyland to take voyeuristic pictures.

The man, using a long-handled shopping bag, had staked out at least 30 women over a 16 hour period and had taken more than an hour of video by surreptitiously placing a camera with a zoom lens and automatic focus so that it pointed up the women's skirts. Although some of the women knew something was amiss--the tape showed them moving away from the man or otherwise showing discomfort--none of them were aware of exactly what was happening, said Anaheim Police Sgt. Bob Conklin. Conklin, who handled the Disneyland case, said sophisticated technology makes the voyeurs hard to spot.

"This guy we caught had an amazing camera,'' he said. ``The women clearly had no idea what he was doing." Conklin said some women moved away from the man, but no one seemed to notice the camera.

"He had it in a shopping bag and was amazingly brazen,'' he said. ``He would get up very close to women who were walking arm- in-arm with their male companion or children."

To their frustration, police and prosecutors could find no crime that applied to the man's acts.

"We tried eavesdropping, assault and battery, aiding and abetting, and indecent exposure," Conklin said. "We looked at everything we could."

Conklin said similar incidents were reported in other Orange County areas. A few cases prosecuted as disorderly conduct were thrown out because the law didn't fit the situation.

Video stalking cases have been reported in other states, including Virginia, which has enacted a law banning videotaping people undressing or in their underwear without their consent. Some of the videos appear on "'up-skirt" sites on the Internet, which are not regulated by the new law.

Since the bill was introduced by Ackerman, publicity surrounding such activities has doubled business on at least one Internet site run out of Southern California, according to Andrew Drake.

"This has created a whole new generation of people who probably weren't even aware they were voyeuristic," said Drake, marketing director at Pixis International, which runs the site upskirt.com Web site. "All this bill is going to do is create a underground feel and probably make it appeal to a broader number of people. Prohibition. How did that work?" Drake said the company is "only giving people what they want."

"People are intrigued to look at what they're not supposed to," Drake said. Signing a name on a piece of paper, Drake says, can't change human nature.

Drake, says he doesn't expect any downturn in traffic to his Web site. In fact, he says, all the publicity the new law has generated will probably mean more business.

"The human psyche has always been intrigued with viewing things that are not supposed to be seen," said Drake. "People have always wanted to know what their neighbors were doing. Now technology has put them in a place where they can actually see what the neighbor is doing."

Drake said outlawing the practice of taking the pictures probably makes it more appealing.

"It's like drugs, making it illegal will probably create a lot more people who do it," Drake said. "It's a rebel thing. If it was a thrill before, now it will be even more of a thrill."

Drake said people who take the pictures get excitement from following unsuspecting women.

"The type of people who do this thing enjoy the chase," said Drake. "The only reward is the excitement of the adventure."

His California-based site, which offers membership for $6.95, is for those 18 and older. It does not pay for submissions, but offers tips and started a ``V-team'' of aggressive voyeurs.

Drake's site will not be affected by the law, and he said he didn't think it would cut down on submissions. Drake said about 65 percent of the pictures on the site are staged using models. The rest, he said, are submitted via e-mail.

"Not every female has the perfect rear end," he said. "There are a lot of couples who get kicks out of doing this and seeing their picture on the Web site.''

While the bill prohibits the taping, it does not address the use of such tapes once they are made. Drake said his company does not secretly tape anyone. He said most of the pictures on his Web site - one of dozens of such spots on the Internet - are staged using models. Drake said he supports the new law and frowns on illegal activity. He said he thinks the awareness generated by discussion of the legislation has been a good thing.

"People need to be more aware of their surroundings in this day and age and not be so free," he said. "We'd like to believe we can go around leaving our front doors unlocked, but we can't anymore."

Drake said he isn't worried about his supply drying up because of the new law.

"This site is set up as an entertainment entity," Drake said, "and the users who come here are aware, or they should be aware, it's a pure fantasy site and that a good number of the images are staged by models mixed in with images sent in by video voyeurs across the world."

Michael Bustamente, press secretary for Davis, said, "The bill addresses the need to punish a despicable act of behavior: filming innocent women without their knowledge in a lewd manner.

"It is necessary that we protect the privacy of those targeted individuals."

A similar incident occurred since the Disneyland one at the California State Fair in Sacramento. In May, police caught a man taking pictures behind the portable toilets at the Bay to Breakers race in Golden Gate Park. He was let go after he surrendered his film.

Jasmin St. Claire Maces Big Dick; Kristi Myst Choke Slammed and Bitch Stunned

It was hard to tell which was the main event at XPW Friday night - Kristi Myst shucking her bra to the howling delight of fans, Lizzy Borden being censured in her opening strut-striptease, or Jasmin St. Claire macing Big Dick Dudley, allowing Damien Steel to pin him in a steel cage match.

Steele pinned Big Dick when Jasmin St. Claire came through the ring and sprayed mace in Dick's eyes allowing Steele to hit the Real Deal and pin the big man. Earlier in the night, Steele debuted his new bodyguard Nicole Bass. Bass destroyed the two luchadores in the opening bout and then helped Jasmin destroy "Miss Xtreme" Kristi Myst. Jasmin gave Myst a stone bitch stunner and Bass chokeslammed her twice.

Also, "White Trash" Johnny Webb debuted his new manager, Missy Hyatt, in his bout with "Mr. 80's" Dynamite D. Webb came out and interrupted D's speech on how 1980s wrestling was far superior to wrestling in the 90's. Webb told D, "If you want to be successful today, you need to develop a hardcore attitude." Webb then said that he actually thanked guys like D and Phenomenal Phil for showing him the errors in his old ways and that things would now be different. "And you know what they say," Webb said to D, "behind every good man, is a great woman." The arena lights went out and when they came back on Missy Hyatt was standing in the entrance way with a cigarette in her mouth and a Singapore cane in her hand. Once she entered the ring, Dynamite D attempted to convince her that she was with the wrong guy. She was from the 80s, he reasoned. However, he sealed his own fate when he told Missy that he was from the old school and that she was just old. Hyatt cracked D over the head with the cane and later presented it to White Trash. Webb defeated D after repeated whacks with his new found Singapore sling.

In other actionJake Lawless defeated Homeless Jimmy after he wrapped him in barbed wire and belly-to-back suplexed him over the top rope.

Cybil was scheduled to take on Phenomenal Phil, but as Cybil's music played, he did not come out. Music unheard before in the XPW Arena then played and Michael Modest came out to make his XPW debut and defeat the Phenomenal one.

The West Side NGZ, Chronic and Big Rott, destroyed Los Vatos Locos, Danger and Felony. After the beating of their lifetimes, Los Vatos were futher humiliated. Danger was hung with a noose over the top rope, and Felony had his hair cut off by the West Siders.

Kid Kaos defeated Pancho Killa. With his crew decimated just moments before, Killa had to go to ringside alone, not giving him the advantage he had against Kaos last time they met. The 20-year old future superstar was able to use his speed and agility to keep Pancho from destryoing him with power moves and pulled out the victory.

Kristian Blood and Supreme were scheduled to have a rematch from their July 31 encounter, but there were other plans in the work. Donovan Morgan came to the ring in an XPW shirt and claimed to be the real Mr. XPW, the real future of professional wrestling, and the one who was going to knock Kristian Blood off of his pedestal as poster boy for XPW. He decided to make it a three way match which ended with Supreme pinning Kristian Blood after a moonsault through a table.

American Wildchild and Yakuza defeated Ultra Taro Jr. and Mr. Excitement.

In a Universal Fighting-arts Organization match, Justin McCully defeated Lee Young Gun.

On Saturday, Augsut 28, at the Masterdome in San Bernardino:

American Wildchild and Yakuza defeated Ultra Taro Jr. and Mr. Excitement; Jake Lawless defeated Jimmy; Chronic defeated Slamm'n Stew; "Real Deal" Damien Steele and Kid Kaos wrestled to a No Contest when Big Dick interfered. Big Dick pinned Pancho Killa

In a Fatal Five Way Match: Supreme, Michael Modest, Phenomenal Phil, Kristian Blood and Donovan Morgan wrestled to a No Contest.

Christopher Kalscheur writes: "Gene, First of all I want to apologize ahead of time for this may not be the right place to ask this question, but then again, you ALWAYS have the scoop so I figured you might know. Anyway, recently I heard that a videotape supposedly exists of the Bangles (or the Go-Gos - to be honest I don't remember which 80s girl band it was since they're now about as relevant as Luke Ford) taking turns sucking some dude's cock. Any truth to that? I'd love to get a copy of that to join my Pam & Tommy video, Vince Neil & Janine, and Pam with Brett Micheals collection. Are there any other celebrity sex videos that you know about? Any ideas on where to look? Thanks for your time Gene, and as always I enjoyed today's column."

Gene sez: "If those tapes exist, someone would be cleaning up on them on the Internet."

Thoughts On Lynne and Sasha

Randy Kaplan writes: "If Lynne 'I'm not crazy, that's just a flashlight' Lopatin thinks that she 'owns' Dave Hardman's domain names, perhaps she could exrercise her Efflexor-fueled imagination, create a cyber version of everyone's favorite blue-collar stud on the site, and then limit her armed forays to cyberstalking her own creation.

"I also think that if Sasha Gabor gets out of jail, we should all chip in and buy him lunch. Or move underground, because he could get behind the wheel at any time. In Ron Jeremy's defense, I sincerely doubt there was no food in his house. At the very least, there was toe cheese. Randy."

Mike Albo writes: "Gene: So this clown Spas thinks "a DUI can happen to anybody?" Somebody should remind him that DUIs only "happen" to inconsiderate morons who CHOOSE to drink before getting behind the wheel of an automobile. Let's put the blame where it belongs and stop making lame excuses for bad behavior, okay? If you drink and drive, you endanger everybody else on the road and for that, you should be locked up."

Gene sez: "Mike, a public service announcement couldn't have put it any better."

Colin Throws a Party For Some Sleazy Friends

Home Video Unleashes Colin

Threatened with losing his right to public access air time, Colin Malone of Colin's Sleazy Friends announced the release of a new home video called The Best of Colin's Sleazy Friends. It's a 56-minute compilation of footage from the show which has been on 4 1/2 years. Including plenty of nudity and profanity, notable moments include David Cross and Bob Odenkirk of HBO's Mr. Show interviewing Jasmin St. Claire about personal relationships. Janeane Garofalo also discusses her disturbing attraction to Clolin's show, while sitcom star Margaret Cho discusses proper sexual etiquette.

The tape also includes interviews with such porn stars as Claudia Chase, Shane, Yvonne, Claudia Chase, Tabitha Stevens, Raylene, Chandler, Marylin Star, Taylor Hayes and Ron Jeremy.

Malone has been the subject of numerous attempts in the past to pull the plug on his show, the most recent being the dope-smoking incident reported on this site involving the Kottonmouth Kings.

Obscenity cases hone Ohio law

With a flurry of obscenity cases to hit the court dockets this past year, the Cincinnati Enquirer interviewed a number of individuals to determine how these cases are honing the state's legal landscape.

"One trial never sets community standards," Phil Burress, executive director of Citizens for Community Values, a Cincinnati-based anti-smut group, told the Enquirer. Burress says each case represents a chance to sharpen the blurry concept of "community standards," a central issue in obscenity cases.

The significance of Butler County's latest obscenity prosecution, involving Millville Video which ended last week with a no-contest plea and a felony conviction, is up for debate. Both sides were claiming victory in that decision as when Hamilton County and Larry Flynt resolved their obscenity case with a plea agreement in May. Both sides claimed victory there, too.

Millville Video Inc. yielded the county's first conviction of pandering obscenity since that crime became a felony in mid-1996, assistant county prosecutor Dan Gattermeyer said. "We need to have the people who sell this stuff understand it's not a free ride," Gattermeyer said.

A judge imposed a $5,000 fine against Millville Video Inc., and the corporation agreed to remove the video in question, Agony of Arianna, from its shelves. Two other allegedly obscene videos - with sadomasochistic and homosexual themes - were dropped from the case during plea bargaining.

Plea has advantages said First Amendment lawyer Lou Sirkin of Cincinnati, who represented Millville Video Inc. Sirkin told the Enquirer it enabled his client to end the case without further legal expenses and without risking a prison sentence. That was because the corporation - not a person - was charged.

"Had this been a charge against an individual, we would have continued to fight it," Sirkin said. The no-contest plea also left open two key legal issues that Sirkin wants to challenge:

Whether the Arianna video could be declared "obscene" as a matter of law. \n \nWhether Ohio's obscenity law is constitutional. \n Gattermeyer said Arianna involved sexual torture and explicit nudity and sexual activity. Asked what made it different from the thousands of explicit videos sold at VIP, Gattermeyer said, "the bizarre nature of the cruelty and the violence inflicted upon the woman."

Cheri Sweet, 25, a clerk who works at both VIP Video locations in Butler County, said, "all the videos they're saying are obscene are the ones with bondage or homosexuals." Sweet said it's wrong for officials to single out those videos, adding, "We don't sell anything that I would call obscene."

Sirkin, who represented both VIP Video owner Peter Tomaino and Millville Video Inc., said he had a strong argument that Millville Video's Arianna might not fit the legal definition of obscene - and may not have even included "sexual conduct" as defined in Ohio law.

Ohio law says sexual conduct includes oral sex, anal or vaginal intercourse or even slight penetration. Sirkin said the Arianna video involved people touching each other, using clamps and tying each other up - not necessarily sexual conduct.

Sirkin said he also might try to use the Arianna video to challenge the constitutionality of Ohio's obscenity law. He said Ohio does not specifically include the "three-part test" of obscenity, a federal standard used for more than two decades - but nevertheless, Ohio judges routinely incorporate that standard.

Ohio might not mention those standards by name, but they are included in principle, Burress said.

"I am not an attorney, but I am a student of the law and I know it very, very well," Burress said. "With all due respect to Mr. Sirkin, that (argument) is pure, unadulterated hogwash, and if Mr. Sirkin fights that battle, he will lose, slam-dunk ... If the law was not sound, it would have been tested long before now."

Whatever the legal impact of the Millville Video case, Sirkin told the Enquirer, he and other lawyers who represent defendants in First Amendment cases are bracing for more attacks. "These things go in cycles, and we think we're in a cycle where state authorities are going to start coming out and prosecuting these cases," he said.

In Clermont County, two women who own video stores were charged with pandering obscenity in May. Their cases are expected to be tried by year's end. Clermont County Prosecutor Don White said that when pandering obscenity was only a misdemeanor, "it wasn't that big a deal," and proprietors could resume sales of the materials without significant punishment. White said the pending case in Clermont County marks the first criminal prosecution of an obscenity case in his 11 years as prosecutor.

In it, Vicky Emerson, 50, and Vivian Hageman, 61, both of Batavia, face felony charges that could carry a one-year prison term. The charges involve a series of videos called Rocco, which also were involved in the Flynt case.

"If these aren't obscene, I don't know what is," White said. "I think the only real way to find out is to go to trial."

When the economy is good and violent crime rates are dropping - and when an election year is on the horizon - prosecution of obscenity cases tends to increase, Sirkin noted.

Hamilton County Prosecutor Mike Allen said there's no intentional targeting of obscenity cases.

"If someone brings to us evidence of a criminal offense, whether it's an obscenity law violation or some other crime, we prosecute it," he said.

Sirkin said prosecutors could save taxpayer money and remove obscene materials from their communities by getting judges to declare materials obscene - without prosecuting individuals who sell them.

"But (prosecutors) don't want to do it that way because that has no drama," he said. "The drama is to frighten someone and force them to make a deal because they're looking at a felony charge for selling a video. Sometimes I can't believe I'm in a courtroom fighting that."

Milwaukee Locals Try To Shut Down Goth Club

A Milwaukee "Gothic" nightclub is fighting to stay open over the objections of police, who say they witnessed bondage shows in which patrons were lashed to a cross and beaten.

That was just one of a series of bondage-type incidents police said they witnessed at The Sanctuary. Others involved people simulating sex acts and play acting as children. Police brought their objections before the Common Council's Utilities and Licenses Committee in late July when the club sought licenses for a new location. The hearing was continued until Sept. 14.

Representatives from local restaurants and organizations such as La Causa Inc., a shelter care for children also are pushing aldermen to deny The Sanctuary a tavern and cabaret license, saying it doesn't fit into the neighborhood. State Rep. Pedro Colon (D-Milwaukee) is among those who wrote letters urging that the club remain closed. Barbara Lucksinger, director of programming at La Causa, opposes the club. She said the organization's building is just a few hundred feet from where the club would be located. La Causa offers 24-hour shelter care, meaning children are in the area into the evening.

"I understand that people have a right to express themselves," Lucksinger said. "I think there probably are better places for establishments that are avant-garde, so to speak, where it would fit in and they would have more supportive establishments around them."

Lucksinger said she also is concerned that the club might cause more congestion in the area.

A decision about the future of the club - which would be located at 807 S. 5th St. - will not be made until after the September 14 hearing. In the meantime, club owner Todd Novasic is pledging not to hold any more bondage-type performances if he's allowed to reopen his establishment. Novasic accused those who have organized against him of misunderstanding the Gothic lifestyle. He said that his business is mostly a dance club.

"I'm so close to bankruptcy right now that life isn't even fun," Novasic said. Bondage shows, he said, "appeal to adults. No one under 21 years old is in the club. They are advertised as bondage shows and no one is forced to attend or stay."

As far as the cross incident goes, Novasic claimed that the tall wooden structure - which is depicted in a photograph on The Sanctuary Web site - was not a cross at all. "It was in the shape of a capital T," he said.

Police are recommending a tavern and cabaret license not be granted. They said they have been concerned about the club since 1996, when it held an event called "Slut Fest" and received a municipal citation for exceeding the building's posted capacity. Later that same year, a fight broke out at the club and a man was injured when he was hit with brass knuckles. More citations were issued.

In May, police went undercover to investigate a complaint about the establishment. Officers witnessed a show that involved a man sucking his thumb and carrying a blanket as if he were a child and being struck with a wooden spoon, leather horsewhip and wooden paddle. They also saw a woman undergo body piercing, in which hoop-type earrings were placed along her spine and then laced with a red ribbon. Vento said that officers also witnessed hot candle wax being dripped on people and simulated sex acts.

In the incident involving what police described as an 8-foot-by-8-foot cross, officers watched as "five patrons of the tavern were tied to the cross and beaten with various objects," a police report testified.

More municipal citations were issued as a result, and the club is fighting them. Assistant City Attorney Bruce Schrimpf, who is advising the council committee, said the case was referred to the district attorney's office for review over whether any of the skits violated the state's obscenity laws.

"Our concern is how this is going to affect the neighborhood," he said.

Jeffrey Murrell, the attorney representing Novasic, said his research has shown that The Sanctuary was one of just a handful of clubs nationwide devoted solely to Gothic culture.

Novasic held less than a half-dozen bondage shows last year at the club's old location, he said, adding that other city establishments have held similar events. Novasic closed earlier this year because of concerns from other tenants at the building, which also functions as a rooming house.

Of the bondage shows, Murrell said: "Those were tongue in cheek, as far as I know. Those were done to pique more interest in the club and bring more business in at slower times."

Novasic described the Gothic scene as involving "darker, more somber imagery and aesthetics."
