Or Euros, or Canadian dollars, or Yen, or Aussie dollars. Until now we’ve always just billed memberships in US Dollars, primarily because it was simple to do so. No UK bank would deal with us direct. Apparently porn would ruin their otherwise spotless reputations! US banks on the other hand have their blindspot elsewhere and are much more concerned with online gambling, so porn is kinda OK-ish. Selling in Dollars is also relatively good choice as most people in most places have a rough idea of what their local currency is worth in US dollars, so it has some level of familiarity. Our primary billing company, CCBILL has now given us the ability to offer a range of currencies for you to chose from. So now, when you sign up you can see exactly what it will cost you in the currency of your choice with no more guess work over exchange rates.

Porn in Pounds
Saturday, January 27th, 2007Jorja’s Nose
Friday, January 19th, 2007
Â
I forgot to mention this earlier, but an email today asking for more Jorja reminded me that there IS more Jorja. While on the trip up to shoot Lindsay, we also shot more Jorja. Sooo, here for the first time is Jorja, sporting a brand new nose. It’s horrifically common for porn girls to spend their fees on surgery, and it’s clear Jorja has been unable to resist. The new one does look fine, but then I can’t say I was that bothered by the old one. Next on her list is,…. wait for it,…. her boobs of course! Please comment right here, right now, and beg her to leave them alone!!!

Budapest casting
Wednesday, January 17th, 2007
The last time I came to Budapest it was bloody hard work. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong. We got chucked out of locations for shooting porn, we had to sack the translator for bitching at the models, and every taxi we got in took great delight in having no change for the equivalent of a twenty pound note. Plus it was so fucking cold. The river had nearly frozen over so it looked like a giant margarita.
So when it came time to return I wasn’t looking forward to the experience. Hence rather than come back, hit the ground running and start shooting on day two, it seemed better to test the water, by doing a quick trip and doing a casting. Which is what we did. We saw nine girls, and will book every one of them, plus a couple of them called our bluff and didn’t show up for the casting, but me being weak, and they being hot, I’ll book em anyway.
So heres the nine. What was rather funny was having Yasmin show up for the casting and not remember me. Boooo hoooo, no one loves me. I certainly remember her from last time!
We’re Hiring!
Monday, January 15th, 2007Hiring and firing is pretty much a permanent process, if only it was fun. Right now we’re looking for another person to work on tidying up a load of pages on the site, so we need a coder. Hence the advertsing is out on various webdesigner sites with a pretty specific brief AND an email address that any moron can reverse engineer into a domian. Thats right, the email addy is somebody@simonscans.com Which hardly requires the brightest spark to convert into a working url. Anyway, here’s the full text of his application:-
Hi  ÂI would be interested in this but before I send my details and website address (which contains samples of my work) I would like to know what sort of adult website it is. In other words is it Kosha, and legal?!
Do you have an url or can you tell me what sort of images will be on there as I DO NOT want to get involved in anything dodgey.
Cheers
Marc
Soooo, the guy wants the job so badly that a whole two line application is required. Impressive, also that BOTH lines are about as insulting as they can be. I think he’s even spelt kosher wrong. This guy really knows how to suck up to a potential employer! If this was an even slightly unusual application, I’d probably not mention it, but its not. It’s 100% typical of the rubbish that comes in. Seems that if you want to be a coder/webdesigner then all you need is a copy of dreamweaver and a low level personality disorder, say tourettes syndrome – the inability not to say exactly what you’re thinking as you think it.  Whats even more depressing for me as a Brit is that by far the worst applications are from the brits. Seems the standard of written english in the UK for native speakers/writers is now LOWER than the standard for people from the rest of the world, writing it as a SECOND language.
So if you aren’t an idiot, but are a web professional, we’d like to hear from you.
