I Just wanted to share some news on XOD

WARMINSTER, Penn. - Online Adult Video-on-Demand (VOD) provider XonDemand has hired former Screw magazine publisher, the often prosecuted, never demure Al Goldstein as national director for marketing.

Goldstein, who has most recently worked in the food service industry and was once homeless, was given the security of a five-year contract and six-figure deal from the VoD company.

“It’s a win-win situation. Our company needs national exposure and Al needs not to sell bagels,” XonDemand president Frank Ryan told AVNOnline.com. “Give the guy a little dignity. He has a history most of us couldn’t even dream about and I’ve come to really appreciate it. He’s up there.”

XonDemand is hoping to utilize Goldstein’s notoriety and his contacts to grow their company and make a mainstream push. The 69-year-old will work out of Staten Island, New York and needless to say, he’s ecstatic.

“I’m so fucking thrilled I’m back in the business and I’m thrilled I’m working for XonDemand because this is the technology that put Screw out of business,” Goldstein told AVNOnline.com. “Screw magazine was a horse and buggy and now I’m working for a company where it’s all about the delivery system and I had the wrong delivery system.”

After venturing to the extreme of watching his business and his life fall apart, Goldstein is on his way back to the other end of the spectrum. After he announced his intentions to return to the Adult industry in early February, he received no less than five offers, he said, but XonDemand was the most intriguing.

“I don’t want to sell DVDs. It’s like selling wheels for a wagon. It’s primitive. The delivery system for everybody is going to be the computer,” Goldstein said.

In addition, a documentary about his life – The Trials of Al Goldstein – will debut at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 20; he has received feelers from a publisher about writing an autobiography and will appear on the Howard Stern Show to promote XonDemand later this month.

“What Howard Stern is to satellite radio, I’m going to be to streaming video,” Goldstein said.

And that’s just what XonDemand’s brain trust anticipated when they hired him.

“It’s through these high-level relationships that we want to take XonDemand from where it is today to a much higher level,” Ryan said.

XonDemand hosts 514 studios and streams more than 15,000 movies

..and if he still has the statue of the finger-
I'd like to buy it and I already made a promise to the local city hall that I won't put it on public display.

of course he's not going to be homeless. anyone like that has a million dollars + in their name, even if they go broke.

He does still have the finger..Ive been trying to convince him to sell it!

That may be true but trust me his living conditions are pretty bad.

I do not know him, or his story, However I am glad to see a guy come back up once he gets knocked down, it shows character.

congratulations are in order. :okthumb:

There is a price for everything. Ill ask him!

My BBS was in Screw magazine once. I think I still have the copy around here some where.

He really did hit rock bottom. it was very sad to see. He is a wealth of stories that could leave you entertained for hours.

We are glad that it works out for all of us. The internet broke him so we hope it can now bring him back to life!

You should read up on him! Very colorful guy!

Very Cool.. He has every copy as well. he brought lots of old ones in for us to read!

That may be true but trust me his living conditions are pretty bad. [/b][/quote]
However he was living.......in new york, how he was living, is probably about average.

Not even close!!! I own section 8 housing in the ghetto that is nicer than where he is currently living!

Will he be a millionaire once again and live fine like wine in no time no doubt. I think so.

The think is anything less than the million dollar lifestyle is hard once you fall from the top.

I'm sure there is,
"Let's make a deal"

The statue got used to a Floridian climate and I live 20 miles North from where he lived.

I hope he won't hold against me that I was one of the people who put a nail in his "screw", pun intended
;)

Cleo,

OK… but can I bill my bid to one of your accounts?

Hey Serge , If I make a statue of my Northern curve how much should I ask for it at auction?
