Luke Ford, that cynical Australian muck-slinger that some have called 'The Matt Drudge of the porn world,' has reinvented himself and his adult entertainment gossip and news website yet again.

First there was lukeford.com, then there was setgo.com, and now Ford has launched his lastest 'last word' with Adultbeat.com, and despite being disliked by many of the people in the industry that he reports on, Luke's latest site looks again to be the home of the most informative, most opinionated, and most listened-to single voice on porn both inside and outside the industry. Want facts? He's got 'em. Want rumors and innuendo? Got that too. In fact, one of the things that has made Luke the most entertaining and best source over the years (and most certainly the reason so many people want to kick his ass) is that he prints any and all info available on any given story. Proven or not. Inflammatory or not. One could argue that this manner of journalism is unethical, but like it or lump it, that's Luke?

...or Luxedos, or DUC (Deep under cover) or his latest alias, "Duke Floored." Take your pick. I'm not sure what the point of the various nom de plumes are, because word spreads like wildfire every time he fiddles with it. Nobody's fooled. Regardless, with Ford -- who is not directly connected with the industry, and has no vested interest in it -- you get opinion and heavy critical perspective, traits sadly lacking in most of the news sources that people rely on when it comes to adult entertainment.

When Ford originally started LukeFord.com, I don't think there was such a thing as a porn gossip site or magazine that dared exposed the 'dirty little secrets' in the world of XXX, nor do I think many people even knew that his site even really existed. But that all changed after Ford broke the story that put him on the map in the world of hump-journalism -- the Marc Wallace AIDS story.

Magazines like AVN and the other pro-industry-or-bust trade organizations were not interested in breaking a story that detailed how one of the more popular male performers in the biz had recently contracted HIV and then had purposely caused a major outbreak that took down five-plus other starlets who were guilty of nothing but letting the imbecile squirt in them. No-one wanted to cast a bad light on an industry that has been constantly struggling for credibility from the mainstream since the dawn of its very existence. It was and is an old perverts' club dead-set on casting a rosy facade that everything is hot, horny, and OK. AIDS is not sexy. People don't want to think about slowly dying in agony when they beat off. And that almighty dollar desperately wants the customer to incessantly beat off until his cock turns burgundy.

It's Luke Ford who even just now broke the story that a fucking shit-pile like Wallace is back directing videos after being driven underground in the wake of the diseased-flavored insanity that he brought upon the porn world. Jesus Christ! Instead of going after Rob Black and various other smut peddlers seemingly at random, shouldn't the US Obscenity Task Force take Marc Wallace to trial for multiple counts of attempted murder? The fact that amazing women like Brooke Ashley, Tricia Devereaux, Nena Cherry, Kimberly Jade and the rest of them have been handed death sentences because this gibbering ass-hat didn't particularly want to stop working after contracted the virus -- that's the real obscenity.
