Telstra directs Idol fans to porn site

13:11 AEDT Mon Nov 22 2004

Newspaper advertisements congratulating Australian Idol winner Casey Donovan mistakenly directed fans to a gay porn website.

The half-page ads, placed by Telstra's internet arm BigPond on Monday in Melbourne's Herald Sun and Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspapers, direct readers to caseydonovan.com.

But anyone calling up the website will be confronted by a full frontal nude picture of American porn star, Casey Donovan, and links to sales of his gay porn DVDs and videotapes.

Australia's Donovan, a 16-year-old who won a lucrative record deal with the BMG label when she won Australian Idol on Sunday, has a personal website under construction at www.caseydonovan.com.au and a website set up by fans at www.caseydonovan.org.

BigPond corporate affairs manager Craig Middleton put the gaffe down to "simple human error in the last-minute preparation of the ad".

"Obviously everything was put together last night after the winner was announced and unfortunately, the 'au' dropped off the address," he said.

Bigpond had alerted web filters to add the porn website to its databases to prevent children unwittingly viewing pornography.

"We have spoken to the Australian Broadcasting Authority about having the other site taken down or blocked but because it's rated R, not X, we have no option there," Mr Middleton said.

Sydney web designer Jared Fusedale set up the fan website at www.caseydonovan.org through his company, Fusedmedia Australia Pty Ltd.

Mr Fusedale, a fan of Donovan's, set up the website for fans to run as Donovan made her way through the competition.

The website has already received more than 270,000 hits, and features a picture gallery and a message board for fans.

Mr Fusedale said the porn movie website was "dodgy" but there was little he could do to avoid the problem of fans mistakenly clicking through to the website.

"Once you have a domain name, you can do anything you like with it, but we've had a lot of people (trying to find caseydonovan.org) say they can't look at the website because it's dirty," Mr Fusedale said.

"The thing is every name relating to Casey Donovan or Casey has been taken up so there's not much we can do about it... but it has been pretty well marketed with the fans.

"Obviously this is a fan website we're providing for Casey and it's worked pretty well because of the result last night."

A spokesman for BMG, which manages Donovan and produces her official website, could not be contacted.

The American porn star's website is connected with www.hisxpress.com, the online arm of Massachusetts production company Falcon Video, which offers for sale hundreds of movie titles and full frontal nude pictures of dozens of male models.

      I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..

      A little PU bush story

      They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to move wrt the other.

      I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.

      I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?
