Believe, I took one of the participants for CR3 their paperwork to sign and she flat out said to me that the main reason for her to do it was for the exposure it would bring her around a music career. Regarding the proxy question which I just noticed. I only know how to do this in Safari, but would assume it would work in other browsers. Google search "proxy list". See what comes up. I know there is a Russian site called Samair or something similar. Go to the site. Find where it lists proxy addresses by type. There are different types, for the purpose mentioned above, I would suggest a "high anonymous proxy server" Now there should be a list of quite a few. Open you browser preferences, network, advanced, Go to proxies. Go to Http. Now take the IP address of one of the proxies and paste it in. Paste in the port code as well and apply. Now when you browse the internet, other sites see your IP as this the IP of this proxy server and it can't be traced to you. In this case, the useful quality of this is that if your country is being blocked out, you choose a proxy based in the US. The website you want to view now thinks you are in the US. If you only choose an anonymous proxy, sites can tell you are using a proxy and some might reject useage, with a hign anonymous proxy, sites cannot tell.

You may not be in a position to say, but was there a noticeable difference in attitude by the end of the show?

Yeah, well, her columns are infamously boring and poorly written. In a just world, full custody and use of the name Violet Blue for all purposes would be awarded to Violet Blue the performer; Violet Blue the author should be forced to use a nom de plume like Hortense Glick.
^ Regardless of opinions on her writing skills, criticism that involves a) calling her subjects whores, b) dismissing her work solely because it's to do with sex and therefore has no business being on the front page, and c) blatantly misogynistic remarks about Violet, is indefensible in my opinion. You mean Violet Blue the mature lady? I saw her on Howard Stern, and then got confused when I read Violet's blog. I agree with you on this point - who came first though?

Ha, no, you're thinking of Blue Iris (who recently passed away, sadly). I'm talking about this Violet Blue, who made a lot of movies in the first half of this decade, then got entangled in a stupid dispute with the crummy writer Violet Blue. I think the performer ended up essentially throwing up her hands and letting the crummy writer have the name. The performer seems to have recently started working again, now calling herself No-name Jane.
I'm a college professor and I do the same thing. It isn't a tool to make people cry... it's a tool to make people talk. When I first started teaching I wouldn't pause long enough. You know what happens when you don't pause long enough? You always talk and no one ever answers. It just happens in the context that Dr. Drew (or any therapist) is in, the talking often leads to crying.

I like that Oprah is getting back down into the muck that helped her beat Donahue back in the day. That's probably why she's quitting now, she thinks she's too good for it. BTW what is up with the second part of the show promo about the guy who is 'addicted to porn' which they describe as 'chat rooms, prostitutes.' Neither of those things are porn!
Yeah, that was James, the surfer guy. I look for him to be booted off the show. He wasn't participating anyway, and saying something like that is way out of bounds, even as a joke.
Did anyone actually catch her interview? She did an amazing job. Articulate. Looked great. Oprah high-fived her. It was awesome. The only thing that made me cringe was when she said she had been out of adult for 6 months, the audience applauded and she smiled at that but didn't say anything positive about the industry. I know it's not something she's required to do, but it had that righteous, down-with-porn vibe to it. Maybe I'm just hypersensitive. Edited by - savoy on 11/25/2009 5:19:10 AM
Knowing mainstream tv, she either did say something and it was edited out, or they flat out told her not to say anything positive. She certainly never mentioned that she did one final convention. Wonder if Dr. Drew even knows she went to that con? Oprah having two people saying good things about the porn industry in two weeks? Sponsors and fans would riot!

That was so fucking stupid. They were all in paintball outfits throwing paint at canvas and yelling idiocy. They should have turned on Dr. Quack like Doug Niedermeyer's troops did in Vietnam.
I agree but I don't think Dr. Drew treats her on a regular basis. She writes about another doc and the therapist Jill from the show. I think she mentioned discussing it with them in her blog.

Oh poor poor Penny - I refuse to call her Jennie. She's Penny Flame - the cigarette-soaked, drug-addled pornstar who whored herself out for years and now seeks solace in the arms of Dr. Drew, Oprah and whoever the fuck else. I imagine that there are many adolescent girls in particular reading this treatment of this degenerate and thinking that since her story is being covered in major newspapers and she gets the big gig on VH-1 and that phony Oprah show, that somehow it is a socially accepted pattern of behaviour. Ugh. Oh poor poor Penny. Puhleeze. Her face is plastered all over the internet, covered in splooge and being violated every which way by creepy dudes. THAT is her legacy. She is an emotional wreck, a heaping pile of sympathy-seeking Dyonisian fragility - who has no one to blame for entering the depraved world of porn and suffering the consequences but herself. Amen.
You're as dumb as they come. Did you know that she was raped? I guess that doesn't matter to you since you have shown that you have no depth of thought.
Come on the people who have the worst things to say about porn or about the people doing it usually have the hardest of hardcore fetishes and download the hardest material. That's why Utah has the highest percentage of porn subscribers.
I've already read them. Her beaming face still irked me. I'm going with the opinion that it was a moment/mood created by the producers of the show. At least she didn't talk shit.
^Still not feeling it. I sense a turncoat in the making.
This week's episode pissed me off. You have this 22-year-old young man. He isn't a talker. He doesn't have conversations about emotions. All in all, he's pretty fucking clueless. He's just shooting the shit and he says something he shouldn't. But instead of everyone being grown-ups and doing as the therapists said - acknowledging one can't know if they crossed a boundary if the person owning it didn't even realize it existed - and moving on with this new knowledge. Flame freaks out. Who she should be mad at is the man who actually raped her, but he's not there to receive all that anger, is he? And there goes Kendra Jade dividing everyone again.
I got mad about this too. It was a really stupid thing to say, and totally insensitive, but the reaction (I don't even mean Jennie's specifically) was way over the top. They seemed to edit a lot out - it just didn't seem right.
1. why is Dr. Drew wearing that?!?!! 2. Oprah would never do anything to show the porn industry in a positive light. At the end of the day, she is still a feminist. They'd do a worse number than they did on Sasha Grey's Tyra interview.
The words "rape" and "molest" are used in a joking manner a lot these days. Right or wrong, they are. Earlier in the show, those two were joking about her beating him up for sexual gratification. I can just imagine James walking away from that "rape" conversation content because he made her laugh and smile and that's all he wanted. She's the one who has her signals mixed up. She's the one who isn't aware of her boundaries - probably hasn't had appropriate physical or sexual boundaries for most of her life. I don't know about the others, but I believe her story. Everything she says aligns with what she's written in her blogs over the last two years. She's been hurting over her inability to connect and have a relationship for quite awhile. She's been open about her drug abuse. I pray to God that treatment sticks because she bounces from one interest to the other. Something would get her focus 100% then she would drop it and move on to something else. I hope that it was just a manifestation of drug, alcohol and sex abuse.
I remember a female friend as a teen saying about some guy "I want him to rape me!" It was a stupid, giggly moment, and we were all confused by why she said it. But, point is, it happens sometimes, gross as it sounds, and it's not an entirely new phenomenon.
I identify as feminist, and I don't think Oprah and I would agree on much. That doesn't mean she doesn't identify as feminist too, but just that there are lots of different strands of feminism. Edited to explain myself better. Edited by - Gore Gore Girl on 11/30/2009 9:35:47 AM

I don't think the surfer dude really wanted to rape Jennie. He is just being a clueless jerk, who has managed to disassociate the word from the harsh reality of its meaning. It just might be something a person, whose reality may be the same as Peter Pan's, would actually say. I do wonder why the incident itself, wasn't caught on camera. I wonder if Jennie heard his statement as her alter ego, Penny Flame, but thought later about it as Jennie. Penny, the performer in 330+ plus sex scenes, might have been able to suppress the ugly reality of her rape, while Jennie, clearly more vulnerable, is not able to. Her actual rape has no context. We don't know if it occurred in her pre-porn days, or if it occurred during her adult career. Can a women who has done 330 sex scenes, be heard by society, when she actually is raped? I noticed that during the art therapy session, everyone's work was displayed and discussed, except for Jennie's. She is a gifted artist, with a clear ability to express herself, and considering how the episode turned, especially from that point on, I was surprised that it wasn't at least displayed. It did appear to me, that the folks who she initially told about what the surfer (I can't remember his name} had said, actually incited her a bit. Editing can't help but distort the whole picture of what's happening, as I for one, had not picked up on the depth of the relationship, between the gay guy and Jennie, before this last episode. Of all the people there, I find Kendra's attitude very troubling. Edited: After this last post I did read her latest blog entry, Morning Monday, which I at least found illuminating.
