25 August 2010 Stuff News

Kiwi pornographer Steve Crow turned lawyer for a day in the High Court at Auckland in a scrap over a whopping bill owed to a sex toy and DVD company in Australia.

Calvista Australia Pty, which has an office in Auckland, says it is owed for goods supplied to Crow’s companies in New Zealand. It had earlier won a judgment by default in the Auckland District Court for A$39,897.36 with certain conditions which meant he has to put up the money as security while he continues disputing the case.

Steve Crow’s “Boobs on Bikes” – “puerile, dismally witless and calulatedly offensive” – Sunday NZ Herald Editorial Opinion

by Leave a Comment

Writer of the Sunday NZ Herald Editorial suggests “…the [Boobs on Bikes] parade is best treated like the show-off child it so much resembles – by being ignored.” The writer is adamant that the massive billboard of a naked woman Steve, his bother David Bruce Crow of Inglewood and sister Leanne Marie Osborn of Fitzroy, New Plymouth, used to cynically market the Erotica Lifestyles Expo porn sleaze, was calculated to offend.

“But the billboard that expo organiser Steve Crow unveiled this week is of a different order [to the parade] altogether. By any measure, the image is objectionable in a public context and you don’t have to be a purse-lipped prude to think so.

“Puerile and dismally witless, it is also quite calculatedly offensive because it seeks not to attract those who are interested but to outrage those who are not.

“Hard-core pornography  – You know it when you see it … it is beyond distasteful and truly offensive

“Crow is terribly pleased with himself because of all the publicity he’s received. But the rest of us should make it plain what we think of this sort of cynical marketing.”

On Wednesday 11th August at 12.30 pm banned company director Steve Crow and Miss Erotica 2010 will be heading a parade of scorpion tanks, motorcycles with bare-breasted pillions and vehicles down Queen Street Auckland – in order to promote Crow’s failing hardcore pornography empire. Eden Digital Ltd directed by John Malcolm Carr, a San Antonio Texas based CPA, is the business entity linked to the parade of tawdry titillation that promotes a forthcoming three day event – Erotica Lifestyles Expo – featuring a collection of imported US-based porn stars, sex toys and lewd acts. On Thursday 12th August at 12.30 pm the same boringly predictable parade will head through Hamilton city streets.

Steve Crow is intending to hand out $250,000 worth of free vouchers to those attending the porn parades, so they can purchase hard core pornography DVDs marketed by his failing business Vixen Direct. [Read more…]
