"Believe It Or Not": Jim The Fiend
There have been many 'firsts' in the world of webcams: A college girl by the name of Jenny was the first to broadcast a live webcam from her dorm room on the internet. CuSeeMe was the first reliable program that people began using to chat with each other. But Jim The Fiend was the first to make people realize that webcamming doesnt come without its risks.

Jim is the creator of "ICUII Believe It Or Not", an adult oriented website which openly displays video messages that people have sent across the internet. Jim recieves the majority of them himself, usually by hanging out in the User Directories under different female names. He also uses female models to collect sum of the messages, which often are from lusty and scantily clad males in dire need of attention.

His website is notorious and controversial, and wherever he goes he often creates quite an uproar in the internet communities. He's been sued in court, had his computer hacked and even recieved death threats... but Jim continues to keep his site filled with some of the strangest messages from people that you ever saw :)

Jim recently took some time to talk with LoneFeather about his notorious website, and how he feels about the people who are unfortunate enough to end up on it ... a questions and answer session presented in true "Jim The Fiend" fashion :)

Lone: When did you first start webcamming? What programs did you use?
Jim: Hmmm… Let's see. 4 or 5 years ago. I started out with VDOphone and CuSeeme like everyone else. Those were the main ones. I bought ICUII the day it came out. I pretty much stick to that type of software now. I'm not much into Netmeeting or Cuseeme. No Qm’s to save. > : )

Lone: When did you first decide to build your website?
Jim: I posted the first 5 pages almost two years ago. I was bored one weekend, copped a buzz and started tinkering around. I was pleased with the result.

Lone: WHY did you decide to build your website?
Jim: Well, that's pretty fucking obvious: I like to make fun of people. > : ) REALLY, I do.
The sheer idiocy of some of the people on here AMAZES me. It simply boggles the mind.
Not long after I started using ICU a couple of friends of mine and I started sharing some qm’s and I decided to post them. It really started as a private joke between myself and four or five people. Someone blabbed and the address hit the directories. I got about 2000 hits that weekend. Well, Cybration was pretty damn pissed and made a nuisance of themselves so that forced me to escalate and here we are. I never originally intended for it to be public.
In retrospect I'm glad it is now. It's a SHITLOAD OF FUN. I get 200 emails a day, 30 or so new people contacting me on ICQ daily and you wouldn't BELIEVE the women I have after me. > : ) Sorry. Anyway, it boils down to the fact that I LIKE what I do. So do A LOT of people. If I can give someone a laugh then that makes me real happy. And lets face it: I've done something that no one has. That's pretty damn neat.

Lone: Don't you feel that some of the people portrayed on your site - That you are just making fun of them because of their size - or a physical trait... such as being fat or overweight? Do you think that's fair to do?
Jim: That's quite clearly what I'm doing. And? Fair? Who said fairness has any relevancy at all?

Here's a quote from my site:
"My philosophy is that if you don't want people making fun of you, don't send pictures of a carrot in your ass to strangers over the internet."

And another:
"Yeah I do make fun of you. So? You'd easily find things to prod me about if you spent some time with me. YES, I make comments about your sexuality, personality and YES, even certain uncontrollable aspects of your appearance or intellect. Deal with it. You brought yourself into this arena, now face the lions. I don't hate you, nobody that visits this site does. You laugh your ass off 'til you see a QM of yourself don't you?"

Those are pretty specific statements about how I feel on this issue. I've been over this a thousand times….
YES, I POST QM’S ON THE INTERNET…
YES, I DO IT WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT…
YES, I MAKE FUN OF YOU…
NO, I DON'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT…
That clear enough?

Lone: Has icuii or any of your "victims" ever tried to take any action against you and your website?
Jim: I've been taken to court twice. Won both times. > : )
I have been E-mail Bombed and hacked by Cybration so many times I've lost count. I get oh... 4 or 5 death threats a week. I usually give them my address and a good time to stop by.

Lone: What are your future plans for your site?
Jim: There are none specifically. I'll keep doing it 'til I get bored, or shot, which ever comes first. I'm in the process of branching out to other video chat programs right now. That should be groovy. > : ) I intend on doing lots more work with my "models", that's always a ton of fun.
