1. I am sure I speak for all of us when I say I really like the neck-less look you are sporting. Were you born without a neck or did you have it surgically removed?
2. You used to own Oprano. Since you left Oprano has fallen apart completely and nobody posts there anymore. Why did you leave Oprano and what do you think is the main reason of Opranos failure after you left?
3. You do not seem to think much of the old timers and those who have made it big in the online porn industry. Can you share some of your thoughts with us regarding your superiority over the old guard and the cause of this friction between you and all the key industry players?
4. One of the most lovable things about you is that you are a manatee. You are so cute and cuddly! It is quite unusual for manatees to be so tame and available to the public. How did you overcome your fear of people and how do other members of the manatee community feel about a manatee role model like yourself being so openly involved in the porn industry?
5. As we all know you went bankrupt only a few years ago after amounting debts of over $800,000 USD. How did you manage to get back on your feet and be in a position to bankroll newbies so quickly after filing for chapter 11?
6. There are rumors going around that you used to be a chimpanzee before you became a manatee. Is this true and if so how many cheese-steaks did you have to eat to make the transition?
7. You took the industry by surprise when you put your money where your mouth is and put $25,000,000 up for grabs for any newbie who needs it for his business. Can you tell us a little more about the source of this money and why you decided that using it to bankroll pornsite newbies is the best way to make it work for you?
8. How do you feel about your good name being dragged through the mud by being publicly associated with a person who was caught in a lie when he claimed he spent $138,000 on a $20,000 VW?
9. It is widely known that you feel smoking marijuana has a great influence on your business decisions and you are a strong proponent of legalizing marijuana. Can you tell us more about how marijuana helps you be a better businessman and how your calendar venture ties into this?
10. You surprised many in the industry when in spite of your massive wealth you defaulted on a $100 debt owed to Serge Birbrair. Do you intend to pay this outstanding debt or are you declaring bankruptcy for a second time?
