Our sale to Playboy is complete... - GoFuckYourself.com

MJ_AVN · 12-08-2006, 05:19 PM

ly false.

From Luke Ford:

I Retract The Playboy Buying AVN Story And I Apologize To AVN, Paul Fishbein, And To AVN's Employees

A few weeks ago, without giving Paul Fishbein adequate time to respond, I published a story that Playboy was buying AVN.

I had four separate sources telling me this, including two sources who have been giving me accurate information for a long time.

When AVN stoutly denied the story, my sources stood by it. So did I until now.

Now, based on everything I know, I conclude I was wrong about Playboy buying AVN.

In my writing on Playboy buying AVN, I included the shot: "AVN's employees will be the last to know."

I apologize to AVN's employees for making them fear for their jobs.

I particularly enjoy the arrogance of this quote:
"I apologize to AVN's employees for making them fear for their jobs."

Again, good "reporting" on that one.

After Shock Media · 12-08-2006, 05:22 PM

Does Luke really think he can make anyone "fear for thier jobs" due to his rumors?

Martin · 12-08-2006, 05:22 PM

Does Luke still have a following. I've never given a shit about him myself.

XPays · 12-08-2006, 05:25 PM

hope people read the thread

jact · 12-08-2006, 05:25 PM

Say what you will about Luke, he's broken some good stories over the years. This however wasn't one of those.

jmk · 12-08-2006, 05:42 PM

errrrrrrrr yeah

And I just heard from a really good source ... "AVN sales short ICQ"

JimmiDean · 12-08-2006, 05:45 PM

Nice to see things cleared up.

Holly Lez! · 12-08-2006, 05:46 PM

LOL rumors should never be reported! That is why I have great respect for you Monty you always find out the facts before you print anything! The only thing you have to fear is us at another strip club on Thanksgiving that is scary!

AGP Albert · 12-08-2006, 06:16 PM

Does this mean AVN is still looking to buy Walmart? ;)

RyuLion · 12-08-2006, 06:19 PM

This would've been interesting..

LAJ · 12-08-2006, 06:33 PM

Great thread title Monty... LOL

Doctor Dre · 12-08-2006, 06:41 PM

Who the fuck is this guy supposed to be anyways ? I've seen his bullshit rumors reporting for years... Who cares if a pornstar got shitfaced and made a fool of herself ?

LeslieSharp · 12-08-2006, 06:41 PM

bump for Monty

ForteCash · 12-08-2006, 06:43 PM

sig spot

Z · 12-08-2006, 06:44 PM

Good to hear, MJ

Corona · 12-08-2006, 07:00 PM

Luke is a pussy for apologizing.

Just because a sale hasn't gone through doesn't mean there were no discussions or that someone at AVN didn't leak the story to Luke for some unknown reason.

tranza · 12-08-2006, 07:06 PM

Just passing by....

Kimmykim · 12-08-2006, 07:11 PM

As piddly assed as Luke's cut and paste is for the most part, he almost always has a kernel of truth buried in there somewhere.

AsianDivaGirlsWebDude · 12-08-2006, 07:22 PM

Congratz!!! AVN should do well under Playboy's leadership and guidance.

indeed Oystein, I find this rather irresponsible

No one should be made to be afraid and caused a lot of anguish based on a rumour

"I apologize to AVN's employees for making them fear for their jobs."

GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT LUKE

DaddyHalbucks · 12-08-2006, 08:51 PM

Congratulations on the big sale, err.. I mean, retraction.

this sort of thing happens in the mainstream world all the time, and it often affects public companies' stock prices.

this isn't something that is unique to adult, at all

MyNameIsNobody · 12-09-2006, 01:07 AM

everybody know that boyalley is the one buying AVN
