We here at UnzippedBlog.net have been bad. Very bad. We haven't been posting here, and for that we are truly sorry. It's not easy keeping up with the Skin Trade. As Project Runway's Heidi Klum is known to say about a hard cock, "One day it's in, one day it's out." (OK, so we know she wasn't really talking about someone's penis, but we like to take certain liberties here at Unzipped. Sue us. Then again, don't.)
To make up for our absence (really--fluffing porn stars for covers takes up a lot of spare time!), we bring to you a doozie of a story. It seems that Lucas Entertainment President, director, and star model Michael Lucas is at it again. This guy just can't stay out of the headlines. (Gee, big surprise there!) This time he's taken to accusing gay blog Queerty.com of anti-semitism for some rather unflattering comments made about him following a recent blog entry. The offending entry, which took Lucas to task for shtooping his used goods on popular auction site eBay.com, ended with this statement: "Perhaps he thought his - cough - “natural” good looks would help boost sales."
But that's even not the worst of it. Several comments addressed Lucas' Jewish heritage. One poster, who went by the screen name bin laden abdullah, even went so far as to type, "are you surprize? he is a JEW!!!
He will sell his mom for money…" Ouch.
In an emailed response that he copied to several magazine editors (of course), Lucas admonished the Queerty editors for allowing the comments, saying, "It is one thing to to keep pointing out in every and each post that I am possibly the ugliest man alive and that my lips are full of Silicon and that my cheekbones are implanted and that I am too old and that I am either too fat or too skinny --- but another thing to blame all my supposedly horrible qualities on my ethnic background."
But Lucas didn't stop there. He then attacked Queerty editor Andrew Belonsky personally, accusing Belonsky of being obsessed with him and calling his editing skills "poor at best" and "embarrassing." Lucas went on to brag of his accomplishments (coming to America, learning several languages, building the East Coast's top gay adult studio, etc.), and wrote,
"Now, what did you achieve? To be the editor of a tacky online blog? A blog that before you took over was smart and entertaining and now is labeled as [sic] 'toxic to the gay community' by magazines like V and has lost all its advertisers and readership since? What are your accomplishments? What do you have to offer other than these hateful postings that you accumulate throughout the day? You should be truly embarrassed of yourself, your blog, and your "career.” In comparison to Michael, you are nothing but a loser."
Now them's some fightin' words, people! We can't wait to see how this thing plays out from here!
It was Michael Lucas who first played the religion card, when he repeatedly used his blog, his HX column and his New York Blade Column to attack Muslims in quite vile terms.
And if you check out the postings on Mr. Lucas' blog by a poster called "Tight Hole", you will see online hatred taken to a whole new level.
Bigotry isn't a pair a shoes. You can't take it back if you decide it doesn't fit you.

I don't normally comment on blogs, but Lucas needs to take his aid-ridden self out of new york city and jump off a brige and die already

Wow, we haven't seen Lucas work that hard since his first movie with... Oh wait, we've never seen Lucas work that hard.
(Norman, coordinate!)
