Steve Crow, banned company director, promotes porn sleaze on city streets
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…]

CNN Highlights Pornography’s Destructive Effects on Society?
CNN refreshingly devoted an entire segment on Wednesday’s American Morning to highlighting pornography’s destructive impact on society, especially Internet porn. Guest Gail Dines, professor of sociology and women’s studies at Wheelock and a self-described “radical feminist activist,” detailed the harmful impact of pornography on men’s sexuality, and anchor John Roberts even cited a study that found that 56% of divorces “involve one party…who has an obsessive interest in pornographic websites.”
The full transcript of John Roberts’s interview of Gail Dines from Wednesday’s American Morning began with Roberts stating: “If you spend any time on the Internet, it’s hard not to notice just how prevalent pornography is. There are 420 million Internet porn pages, 4.2 million porn websites, and 68 million search engine requests for porn each and every day- pretty staggering numbers”.
