If you read AdultFYI’s weekly wrap-ups on Saturday mornings and the great work Sean from www.pornlegends.com does with those, you know that we give out a batch of awards to honor highly questionable achievements for those past seven days.
But with the year’s end, we feel that there should be special recognition above and beyond the normal weekly roll call. And so this weekend, we’d like to salute the first on our list: Ira Isaacs.
With that, Isaacs is the winner of the Is Ira Isaacs Crazy or What? Award.
Isaacs who owns Stolen Car Films and LA Media, faces multiple obscenity-related counts in connection with scat movies his company distributed through the mail.
In the case of United States v. Ira Isaacs, Isaacs, free on bond, is accused of mailing three adult movies to an undercover postal inspector, and was charged in early 2008 with transporting obscene material. The movies involved are “Gang Bang Horse — ‘Pony Sex Game,’” “Mako’s First Time Scat,” “Hollywood Scat Amateurs No. 7” and “BAE 20.”
Through a series of Keystone Kops screw-ups, original trial judge Alex Kozinski had to recuse himself when the LA Times exposed the fact that Kozinski was the owner of a website of questionable sexual tastes. Kozinski then went on to declare a "manifest necessity" for a mistrial in the case which Isaacs' attorney, Roger Jon Diamond, disputed through the federal court system, until his petition for certiorari was rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The case was then reassigned to Judge George H. King, who suspended proceedings while Isaacs' appeal was in process. Then a new prosecutor in the case emerged, Bonnie Hannan [one of the Marx Bros. in the Stagliano trial]. It was also speculated that Isaacs wanted to call "South Park" creator Trey Parker as an expert witness, as if there are recognized experts in the field of shit.
In any event, early spring looks to be the next trial date for the on-again, off-again proceedings.
But, wait, it gets better. Just before Christmas www.xbiz.com reported that Isaacs hopes to open a gallery installation in Los Angeles that will involve one of the charged films in his obscenity indictment, just prior to the trial.
Although Isaacs wants to screen “Hollywood Scat Amateurs No. 7,” he’s also worried about a possibility that authorities could go after gallery property owners on local obscenity charges when the installation opens.
We’re sure there’s much more to this story, but reason somehow dictates it’s not a really peachy keen idea. Because it’s one thing to make scat movies, but a whole other to rubbing the average Joe’s nose in one, especially with the Feds rooting through your compost pile.
While we realize this suggestion might make too much practical sense, we’ll let Ira go back to making his scat pies or whatever it is that paints his wagon. Or may it's just Ira being crazier than a shit house rat, making up the whole story and sticking his finger up our collective asses hoping to see what comes out.
