Ex-'Screw' mag publisher hawks Booble porn search
HOLLYWOOD, Fla.--In the long ago heyday of adult magazines, Screw publisher Al Goldstein was one of the undisputed porn kings.
Now the onetime multimillionaire and foul-mouthed sex celeb has turned his talents to hawking Booble.com here at the Internext conference organized by adult trade publisher AVN Media Network.
Former Screw publisher Al Goldstein presents a $5,000 check to this year's 'Booble Girl.'
(Credit: Declan McCullagh/CNET News.com)Booble, which features some topless photos and isn't entirely safe for work, is an adult search engine and "sex search directory." It also features a "Booble Porn Minute" and the ability to search by porn star name and by sex-cam name.
During a lunch break at Internext, a cursing, cussing Goldstein presented a check for $5,000 to the naturally well-endowed porn actress Lisa Sparxxx who bested 175 other contestants to become "Booble Girl of the Year." The work seems somewhat less than arduous: a few minutes later she was spotted over at the Booble booth signing small plastic breasts.
Once a towering figure in the smut businesses, the 71-year old Goldstein practically lost it all in the last few years when, in quick succession, cheap Internet porn put his notoriously ribald magazine out of business, he filed for bankruptcy, and he got slapped with harassment charges. A 2004 article reported that Goldstein was reduced to selling salami, gefilte fish and beef brisket at a Manhattan deli.
Now Goldstein is on something of a comeback. He's got a new book out called I, Goldstein: My Screwed Life and a blog at Booble. He's also, of course, running for president at Goldstein08.com as the "dirty old candidate" with a slogan of "Removing the 'o' from country."
In case you're wondering how Booble got away with the similarity to Google under U.S. trademark law, by the way, there was a spat complete with a nastygram from Google back in 2004. But J.T. Ortiz, who works in marketing at Booble's parent company, said Friday that everything settled amicably, not least because Booble considers itself a parody of its far better known cousin.

Right now Al is working closely with Mistress Cristian on the book and series "the domestic domina" When I say working closely with mistress cristian, I literally mean he works on his knees by her feet, its been a humbling experience for goldstein, but being that he is a fantastic jew, he sees the potential $$$ of this project and is now #1 slave of mistress cristian.
As an alternate relationship therapist and fighter for womens rights, mistress cristian has turned one of our finest ever male porno gurus into a promoter of womens rights. In a recent interview with mistress cristian, I asked aside from working on the book and show, what else do u and goldstein work on? "...he seeks to learn compassion and focus on a womens pleasure and to learn that giving pleasure will ultimately give him true happiness..." Apparently shes making him volunteer at an womens shelter next week home for free
I will keep you updated. God help us all!

- From what I understand she is putting most of her focus on her book that is about to be released and Al Goldstein wil have to wait for his blow-jobs...besides does he really deserve them. He should be kneeling and worshipping the ground that the author works on to be off the streets and finally have a purpose in life.
