...pornographers, Rob Black is considered a sleazebag. His movies are packed with images that the porn industry itself has long censored (rape, drug use, hitting women with dead fish), and he gleefully rebels against the industry's recent agreement to have its stars use condoms. At last month's Video Software Dealers Association convention, held in 115[degree] Las Vegas heat, Black, 25, stands in a black suit with a black sweater, his face multipierced and satanically goateed. His mother, a plump, pleasant-looking nurse from Rochester, N.Y., bursts into the curtained-off adult section of the convention floor toting...
Although emotional mother-son scenes are still rare in the porn industry, the conflation of mainstream entertainment and hard-core films is not. As porn-video rentals and sales have steadily grown into a $4.2 billion-a-year business (nearly 14% of all video transactions and more than a quarter of the home-video industry's revenue), the mainstream media have started to cash in on the growing celebrity of hard-core performers.

...also producing Judge Joe Brown. Brown is the only TV judge who continues to sit actively on the bench (he's using some of the vacation he accumulated over eight years to tape his show). Like Sheindlin, he rolls his eyes and yells at the punks in his video court ("Don't call the court 'Dude,'" he tells one youth). Brown, 51, grew up in South Central Los Angeles and has the fervor of a missionary, spouting buzz words like "com-mun-i-ty." His producers, like those for the other shows, scour court filings in search of camera-worthy...
