Anal scene accounting was a charge long-levied against former AVN editor Mike Ramone. Now, cooling tempers have set the stage for a tender rapprochement, with cum farts playing the part of doves.
There was a time when disgruntled AVN employees would leak information from their Chatsworth stronghold to the likes of Lurk Ford or Rock’n’Roll Gene “Pool” Ross, both of whom would gaily print anything negative or speculative about the company.
I arrived at AVN in the waning days of this distribution system and would occasionally read things about myself on blogs that could only have come from my co-workers.
To a lesser degree, Mike South would also print insider info about AVN. It was South who broke the news that I got fired, in fact, a a tidbit hastily e-mailed by someone in a nearby cubicle the moment I returned to clean out my desk.
Back then there were fewer porn industry news sites, but now the web is lousy with them. (And none is more lousy than mine.) Perhaps because of the competition, by all accounts AVN is a much happier place and more cohesive, with frequent company-sponsored feasts from In-n-Out Burger.
But when Mike Ramone edited the magazine, a put-down of sorts favored by one staffer was that all Ramone did was count anal scenes in movies. Ramone countered that his job was not limited to this. Now that Ramone has exited AVN and become a director, the press release for his Cum Fart Tsunami confirms that indeed Ramone kept a rectal tally.
“Throw in super hardcore ass fucking, d.p.s [sic], triple penetrations, and in Audrey (Hollander)’s case, so many penetrations at the same time that I lost count (emphasis added), leading up to the massive felchings, and wrap it all up in a hardcore BDSM package, with real fetishy sex, clothes and sets (including a seedy, graffiti and glory hole-ridden bathroom stall and a sleazy old school dirty book store), and Cum Fart Tsunami should be a cum farting fan’s ultimate wet dream,” raved Ramone. “Raincoats will not be optional.”
I don’t know what the significance of this is, other than it proves a softening of ancient rivalries like so much stool.
