I, Nick Denton, Accidental Porn Purveyor

Radar Online picks up the Gawker Media goes gonzo porno story and reports that, upon being queried about the matter, Denton declares no knowledge of Gawker Media's new porn channel, stating this was the "first I've seen or heard of it."

Is that a joke? Color me confused. BTW, does anyone know where I can get a copy of "Pareene Does Park Slope"?

Anyway, I guess this all goes a long way towards explaining gawkakke.

I, Nick Denton, Pornographer

Well, it looks like Nick Denton is getting into the porn business. Not satisfied with merely running a porn site portal, Denton appears to be quietly rolling out a new service this week: Fleshbot Video on Demand. For just $84.95, Gawker Media offers you 1,000 minutes of live, streaming hardcore porn, including masterpieces of hardcore cinema such as: "You've Got a Mother Thing Cumming 2," "Monsters of She Male Cock 4," and "GloryHole." Let's hope the DoJ's Obscenity Prosecution Task Force and the FBI's Adult Obscenity Squad don't try and take down Denton for distributing obscenity; after all, the squads routinely bust distributors as part of their obscenity prosecutions against adult producers. But if it happens, maybe Denton and Max Hardcore, who's currently on trial in Tampa, could have tea.
