I just got an email blast from JRL Charts Online and in the subject line it reads "Michael Lucas Found Dead by Manhattan Police". Does anyone else on here find this to be as disgusting as I do? I can't believe with all the recent porn star tragedies that have happened lately someone would joke about this to promote their movie. A complete disgrace IMO. :thumbsdown:
C'mon what line are they going to cross next?!?!
I completely agree! In poor taste to say the least.
Has their been any type of confirmation or denial about this?:fucked: And, yes, certainly, if this is a publicity stunt it is in damned poor taste.

No it hasn't been confirmed nor denied. Here's the photo that they posted, since crime scene photos aren't taken in b/w or numbered in that way anymore I'm guessing it's a complete hoax.
A quote from a KJCT8.com Colorado news story located here
"The body of Michael Lucas was found by hikers one mile West of Manitou Springs, about 200 yards off the highway. He was found shot three times by a .38 caliber revolver--once in the chest, twice in the head.
According to Colorado Springs Gazette newspaper archives, Lucas had "made a homosexual proposition to Johnson, making arrangements with the defendant [Johnson] to meet to meet him at the isolated area... to perform sexual acts." It's that area where Lucas would meet his killer.
The two, according to the U.S. Marshal's Service, were also involved in distributing marijuana. "
Of course this was in 1973 so is this the Michael Lucas you guys are referring to?
No, we're talking about Michael Lucas of Lucas Entertainment. I posted his picture above. It says he was found in his NYC Manhattan apartment, as of now I'm taking to be a promotional ploy.Quote:

I thought it was hilarious to see crimes solved so quickly on TV CSI shows. Whodathunkit?
Yes, pretty tasteless.
From Michael Lucas:
Yes, I was murdered yesterday. But it was only for the role I'm playing in my new film "Gigolo" (http://www.XXXgigolo.com). So yes, here it is, the publicity stunt. Nothing more than that.
Most of you caught on to the joke, as we put very clearly in the corner of the picture the Lucas Entertainment watermark, and there were a few obvious mistakes in the text. Thank you to you guys for writing about it and playing along, as your mentions were the obviously the idea behind it.
For those who did not catch on the joke, my true and sincerest apologies. I did want to try to keep the charade going for another day or two, but after I received several very concerned emails and phone calls, I decided to cut it short.
For those who said that this is nothing more than a publicity stuntduhand in very bad taste because of the porn stars who have passed on this year, let me tell you, people die in every profession. And in most professions, on a daily basis. There aren't just porn stars who die. There are lawyers and doctors and engineers and toilet attendants. So let's not get all hysterical here and draw unnecessary parallels. The joke was about MY death, not anyone else's!
And last but not least, to those of you who rejoiced at the "news"and I know you're out theresorry to cut your celebration short.
One of my favorite articles to come out of all thisI'm sorry I haven't had time to read everything yet, so there may be the possibility of something even more brilliant out thereis from GayPornucopia.com: http://www.gaypornucopia.com/2007/10...as-found-dead/
no it's true, he really IS dead. Today I played my vinyl "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band " backwards and it said "Michael Lucas is Dead " or , well maybe "Paul is dead", I can' t be be sure
He may call it a joke but I think the joke will be on him.
To put out a press release reporting his death in order to promote a film is the height of stupidity. Since the release and photo were issued by Lucas Entertainment, placing a logo on it would have been within the realm of possibility.
Lucas himself is a jerk and a joke for pulling such a stunt. The guy has no taste or class. His ego seems to get in his way more often than not. His explanation reads as if anyone who read it and believed it wasn't very bright. Unfortunately, a great deal of the media did report it as true and he waited nearly 20 hours before issuing a statement admitting to his prank.
The old adage about their is no such thing as bad publicity I think may well backfire on him in this case.

No offense but I just think he is "OK" a lot of people have nice bodies, anyone can have one (practically) if they work hard on it.. His face is ok but I think face is way more important than anything else .. cause a body you can work on and a face you cannot change without successful surgery and we know how that goes.. His cock if it is uncut then yes I will agree with the perfect part haha but I think that this whole thing was a stupid idea/ joke.. I suppose not letting someone know that someone else is dead for 20 hours is pretty shitty but I guess gay deaths especially in our business is not really a funny joke! I think there is going to be people who are completly misinformed now cause the read the first article and wont get the followup which just creates tons of rumors and more fire for the conservative right.. I myself cannot stand people that are so stuck up there attitude arrives 5 1/2 hours before they do.. LOL :yeah:Quote:

He is a more candid version of how I remember him :) ENJOY.
KT
P.d. not bad looking,, but he sure is no adonis to me.
IM GOD .. DAMMNIT!! :)
This second picture here looks like he is going to FART haha Im not trying to be rude but I found it :jerkoff:
ooooooooooooooooopps sorry here is that second picture..
P.s. I have no personal problem with him but I agree what was done is in bad taste and may end up making our community even look more foolish which is a dissappointment.. I would love the day when we are taken more serious and when stuff happens like this it seems that day may never come.
actually these are , facially, not the most flattering photos he has ever done. I quess everyone gets older ( Except Lucas Ridgestone )
well when I have seen him in person.. That is the way he looked to me..( like the picture of him with the old guy the very first candid picture ) I think most anyone can be made up if they have the right body :) just depends on how much money you have :shades:
weekly facials, someone exfoliate for you everyday, waxing, FAKE tanning, expensive 100 dollar creams in tiny bottles that do work, lip venom for fresh bee stung plump lips, Contacts to make your eyes look extremly bright and colorful and fake, really black hair dye to bring out the contacts and the slight bit of foundation most guys use :) hmmm anything else Im missing...
I guess with the excpetion of making your TEETH EXTREMLY white with those whitening strips that eat away your stomach lining and tear of your enamel on your teeth off. I think I have it all covered unless you wanna go the plastic surgery route.
Oh yeah and dont forget your monthly stop to the aveda shop near you *winks*
LOL I see models go to great lengths.. even putting thereselves in debt to look good. HAHA I think chip knows what Im speaking about haha..
All one needs now is to be able to use ADOBE PHOTOSHOP really well and they are the next PARIS HILTON :specs:
LOVE
KT
P.s. Natural raw beauty to me is so much more sexy and exotic and people trying to fight age just to look like there 20 again is silly.. Natural healthy aging I think can be sexy.. LOOK AT MICHAEL BRANDON.. What a fucking stud and such a sweetheart.

I am surprised that in the two email newsletter blasts that have been sent today from AVN Magazine that no mention of this stunt appeared. Well, maybe I shouldn't be surprised, he advertises in AVN and GAYVN so rather than reporting the news, they are just ignoring it so as not to lose ad revenue. So much for honesty in journalism.:thumbsdown:
Bill
as to gayvn etc not reporting it, the arguement can be made that they have taken the position that to mention it in any way is too add the the publicity of such a tasteless stunt
That is certainly possible.Quote:
