Everyone is broke right now. Maybe it's because Bush is sending a hundred billion dollars into Iraq (how many zeroes is that, like, 20?) or maybe it's just because laziness is at an all-time high. The point is, college students need a lot of money and they need it now (especially girls, because they have to buy shoes). The sex industry is a great way to make cash, but sucking dicks in an alleyway is a little too scary. That's where internet porn comes in. Even the girl next door can make a few thousand a month, plus you can gauge exactly how far you want to take it. You can stop at playacting silliness like burningangel.com, where you make essentially no money but get to meet cute boys with tattoos, or you can become a full-on sex worker at sites like camcontacts.com, where you make pretty good money fucking yourself on a live webcam.
Last Saturday (Feb. 28), 500 women showed up at an internet porn casting party to be photographed by Terry Richardson. Some wanted to make money flashing their beavs online, some wanted to be successful nude models, and some just wanted to find out why all their friends were getting into porn. Personally, we think the whole thing is a downer. If you don't do the heavy shit, you're making a mockery of the poor bastards who do, and if you do do the heavy shit, you're a poor bastard. We randomly grabbed some of the girls from Terry's shoot and asked them what they want to be when they grow up. Then we gave them a better suggestion. Here's what they said:

M.O.P. are the music industry's biggest bullies, the gun-clapping Ted Nugents of hip-hop, and probably the only artists whose entire discography can be summed up in three words (I kill you). But when Billy Danze and Lil' Fame sing "Handle Ur Business," they're...READ MORE |
 BEATS AND RHYMES
You know how Black British music doesn't count for shit outside of London? Maybe the main reason is that so many British rappers are lazy potheads who rap too much about things that nobody cares about. Look at Blade with his "Pop Idol" single that pointed out ...READ MORE |
