Speaking of great industry hype stories...anyone remember this one...
 

Do any of you remember about 2 years ago (I think), there was some paysite that leaked a story to the press that they were going to have a live webcam showing a boyfriend/girlfriend couple lose their virginity?

I remember there was a huge outrage over that from all the religious fanatics out there, it was in the press all over the place for a week.

I also think I remember the event never actually happened in the end. I don't remember why though, and then later I think it was discovered that the two people werent even virgins at all. But none of that matters since they got all that press for a few days and I bet they got a few thousand sales anyways.

Does anyone remember what site it was?

Does anyone care? :tongue:

I care about the animals. Please love the animals.

So, Who's Getting Screwed Here?

Ken Tipton, the mastermind behind Our First Time, where two teenagers were supposed to lose their virginity online, says the fiasco has become a professional and personal nightmare. The event, which was conceived as a theatrical hoax à#224; la Orson Welles' fake radio broadcast War of the Worlds, is now the subject of a bitter legal battle.

Tipton filed a lawsuit for defamation and breach of contract this week against the Internet Entertainment Group, his former ISP partner in the virgin venture. IEG is the company behind one of the most profitable porn sites in the world and owns the rights to the infamous Pamela Anderson-Tommy Lee video. Tipton wants US$3-5 million in contract damages and another $10 million for defamation.

www.ourfirsttime.com was the site.

On July 18, 1998 - the saga of "Mike & Diane" was supposed to be shown LIVE to the world over the Internet. Due to the exposing of our show by Seth Warshavsky, CEO of the Internet Entertainment Group, that was not possible. What follows is the "shooting script" which would have been shown LIVE on the evening of the 18th.

A lawsuit has been filed against Seth Warshavsky for "Breach of Contract" and "Defamation".

What the fuck? That was 1998? SHit! I could have sworn it was only like 2-3 years ago....fuck time flys!

I get a redirect to a Pageseeker/ROAR site on this one.

I do love the animals. I loved my cat twice last night:Graucho

I was thinking that it was Seth behind that site, but couldn't remember. I still can't believe that was like 5 years ago....SAVE ME JEBUS!!!

That means you're old! :)

Nope, I'm probably younger than you.

I'm sure you're younger than some people, and older than others, but that doesn't mean you're not getting old.

Denial is usually the first sign of being old. :)
