Boobiest Oscars Ever!

This past Sunday, The 85th Academy Awards celebrated the efforts of filmmakers, business people, and performers and the films we loved throughout the year. Daniel Day-Lewis won another Oscar and that foxy Hunger Games chick won her first (at just 22-years-old!), but the real winners weren’t filling the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, they were the heterosexual men watching at home.

Even before first-time (and last-time) host Seth MacFarlance belted out an instantly loathed song about seeing the breasts of female actresses on the big screen, naming names and titles with aggressive glee, boobs were the talk of the red carpet. Winner of Best Supporting Actress, Les Misérables’ Anne Hathaway, waltzed into the ceremony (and all the pomp and circumstance that surrounds it) with nipples blazing bright. Dubbed “Les Nipplerables” by the hash-taggers of Twitter, Hathaway’s perkiness distracted, at least, from that horrific hairstyle she seemingly dropped onto her head from a great height. Bonus!

Gawker has the full video compilation of every crude, offensive, sexist, racist, and otherwise questionable joke MacFarlane made during his hosting gig, but if you just want to see the best advertising (42 million viewers!) Mr. Skin never paid for, a performance Salon has called a celebration of misogyny (among other things), the infamous We Saw Your Boobs song, well, here you go:

“We Saw Your Boobs” – Seth MacFarlane

PornHub Denied Super Bowl Ad Spot

Try as they might to gain mainstream acceptance, many adult industry entities find themselves blocked at every turn, including, not surprisingly, the most-watched television event of the year: Super Bowl XLVII.

Ok, so it might be hard to believe any porn company, website or otherwise, would manage to have a commercial aired on national television under any circumstances, let alone during the Super Bowl, but PornHub insisted on trying, only to find their submission rejected by CBS. If you’ve seen the relatively harmless ad, you might wonder “But why? It’s just a fully-clothed elderly couple sitting on a bench gazing lovingly at each other over a gentle piano score. What’s wrong with that?” The reason given by CBS is as follows: “CBS Television Network Standards do not permit advertising related to pornography. Therefore, we cannot accept your submission.” Sounds simple and clear enough, doesn’t it? Could it be, though, that PornHub knew they’d be rejected regardless of the actual content of their submission and cobbled together as inoffensive an ad as possible just to point out how prudish network television advertising really is? The cynic in me say “No shit, Sherlock,” while the other Mr. Pink, the valiant warrior fighting for justice and equality for porn, its purveyors, its performers, and its patrons… well, he also agrees.

If you care to, you can vote on whether or not you find the commercial, which has been removed from public availability by YouTube, worthy of Super Bowl airtime. Not surprisingly, most folks are voting in support of the spot. Where do you stand on this vitally important issue facing America today?

AVN 2013: The Big Winners: The Movies

Some believe the AVN Awards to be almost entirely about celebrating the most brightly shining stars in the porn world, and although that’s partly true, those who disregard the landmark feature films of the year do so at their own pornographic peril. The most recent AVN Awards applauded a handful of landmark features that broke new ground and made bold statements as to the state of porn in this, the year of our lord 2013. Those features?

With 3D cinema all the rage these days, it’s no surprise to see the AVNs offer a new category specifically to features that break down the limitations of previous filmmaking formats. This year, Jailhouse Heat 3D from Digital Playground took home the trophy for its incredibly potent scenes starring Jenna Haze, Madison Parker, Jayden Jaymes and London Keyes, among others. Directed by Jake Westwood, who used the same camera setups favored by James Cameron for Avatar, Jailhouse Heat 3D packed a hell of a punch and likely converted more home viewers to 3D than Glee 3D.

Jules Jordan and his eponymous company took home a slew of awards in a wide range of categories – Best POV Release for Eye Fucked Them All, Best Star Showcase for Asa Akira to the Limit, Best All-Sex Release for Oil Overload 7, Best Amateur Release for Dare Dorm 9, Best Amateur Series for College Rules, Best Anal Release for Anal Boot Camp, Best Big Bust Series for Boobaholics Anonymous, Best Interracial Release (and Series) for Mandingo Massacre 2, and Best New Series for Ultimate Fuck Toy – making 2013 Jules’s year… well, almost.

The only other studio to have more 2013 AVN success than Jules Jordan’s was Elegant Angel. Sweeping the Best All-Girl, Big Bust, Big Butt, and Ethnic Release both Black and Latin, as well as MILF/Cougar Release, Orgy/Gangbang Release, Wall-to-Wall Release, Young Girl Release and the awards for Best Series in Oral, Ethnic, Big Butt, and Anal categories. The company’s biggest winner, however, scored Best Drama, Director, Cinematography, Actress, Editing, Screenplay, and the highly coveted Movie of the Year. That feature, the most celebrated adult release of the year?
