Legendary Adult Magazine Trailblazer Al Goldstein to Blog with Booble.com

Controversial Screw Magazine Founders Long, Strange Odyssey from Multi-Millionaire, to Broke & Homeless, to Once Again Being a Leading Voice in Adult Entertainment

New York, NY (PRWEB)May 20,2005 At Al Goldsteins peak, he was worth over $10MM, resided in a palatial Florida mansion, and his 1968 creation -- Screw Magazine -- helped shape Americas sexual climate for nearly 40 years. Throughout the 60s, 70s, 80s, and early 90s, Goldstein stretched the bounds of good taste and delighted in outraging the establishment, resulting in nearly 20 arrests on various counts of obscenity. But the Internet boom that bankrupted competitors like Penthouse Magazine also doomed Screw Magazine, and Al Goldstein lost his entire empire by 2004. And the onetime porn kingpin was reduced to living on the streets, begging passersby for food and charity.

Ironically, the very medium that sunk Al Goldsteins beloved magazine became the key to his career renaissance.

Booble.com -- the Internets top adult search engine and porn directory -- hired Al Goldstein as its exclusive online columnist for the sites blog, introducing a new generation of porn enthusiasts to the thoughts and sensibilities of a true American original. Goldsteins blog, located at algoldstein.booble.com, will feature the Screw Magazine founders opinions on the state and future of adult-oriented entertainment.

When [Booble.com founder Bob Smart asked me about writing for Booble, I thought it was going to be like writing my weekly Screw Magazine editorials," Al Goldstein remarked. I had no idea I was going to have to learn how to use a computer and surf the Internet -- and then learn all about blogging! It's been an incredible learning experience. Thank God they got me a tutor! I had no idea every porn movie ever made was just a mouse click away. No wonder the web put Screw out of business. Now I feel guilty for killing all those trees!"

Booble.com founder Bob Smart believes that Al Goldstein is a perfect fit for Booble.com: Al Goldstein is a legend to whom we all owe a debt of gratitude. Were it not for his fearless defense of our First Amendment rights, the adult industry would not be able to operate openly as it does today. Al's personal story is as inspiring as it is all-American. He made -- and lost -- a fortune, and has been forced to reinvent himself in the digital age, a job he has taken on with energy, enthusiasm, optimism, and humor. It's a unique privilege to be able to bring his insightful and entertaining views on porn -- and life -- to the World Wide Web."
