Brent Corrigan won his first Cybersocket Web Award last night, in the catagory of Best Porn Star Site...putting him in the same league with other industry heavyweights such as Sean Cody, Bel Ami, Dirk Yates, and Michael Lucas. The full list of Surfer Choice winners here:
This award is actually a much bigger deal than being "presented with a one of a kind Cybersocket trophy." The magazine's circulation of 70,000 copies per month makes it the largest freely distributed gay publication in the country, which translates to a massive free PR boost to the winners of the annual awards.
And notice too, the winners are determined by online public voting, based on unique IP addresses I presume. Obviously, the efforts by some to tarnish the reputation of Brent Corrigan in order to place two murderers like Harlow and Joe back on the streets have come to naught.
Perhaps "The Jakester" or one of the other members of the Free Harlow set would be so kind as to relay the good news to Harlow and Joe, during their next prison phone call? I'm sure it'll be a real morale booster for them!
Update: XBiz picks up the story, and not only do they correctly hyperlink to Brent Corrigan Inc (avoiding this from happening again) but they go on to write:
"Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton won Best Celebrity Site (he was not in attendance), director Lucas won Best Personality and controversial performer Brent Corrigan received the award for Best Porn Star Site."
LOL...Brent is perhaps the only person in the world who can appear in the same sentence with Michael Lucas, and usurp the label "controversial" from him. No wonder Lucas hates him!
Update 2: GayVN News covers the story, and perhaps mindful of being the primary victim of Brent's earlier tongue lashing referred to above, hyperlinks everyone with gusto!
Update 3: Jason Ridge, who we've blogged about here before, not only got his butt stomped in direct competition with Brent last night, but tonight he lost again, this time getting completely shut out at the XBiz Awards.
As Nelson Muntz would say, "Ha Ha!"
I guess having a reputation as a Harlow-supporting mental case is not exactly so useful to your career as you once thought, eh Jason?
Update 4: Brent weighs in.

Jim you beat me to a Blog Post! I was going to call Grant last night around Midnight and I fell asleep!
Oh Well!
So Michael Lucas won "Best Personality"
No Comment ;-)
"So Michael Lucas won "Best Personality"
No Comment ;-)"
Yes, well, it certainly is quite an expansive one...
The political bosses in the town where I went to college taught me how to do multiple voting when I was 17. And bringing indians in from the Cherokee reservation bought off with half pints of Ancient Age to balance out the prisoners the sheriff brought in and voted. Yes, the loyal fans turned out.
Jim--
Michael Lucas, "Best Personality"? That is an oxymoron involving the moron with the monumental ego to whom that particular Cybersocket was awarded.
Brent Corrigan is my idea of a genuine personality as opposed to the pumped up cream puff Michael Lucas, the gay adult star, who has made the caffine bloodshot eyes and pouty lower lip synonomous with gay male prima donna pain in the assism. Brent's a great guy; he will never be a narcisstic prig.
Anyway, Brent has achieved a tremendous milestone, and we are proud of his labor and sacrifice in obtaining his award.
Fascinating comment what: "Obviously, the efforts by some to tarnish the reputation of Brent Corrigan in order to place two murderers like Harlow and Joe back on the streets have come to naught." Must be referring to aw chucks and the Harlowites.
Geoff are we talking the Cherokees in NC OR Oklahoma?
My Dads family is from Union county N.C. but he was a teenager in MO and OK,sister went to school in Tahlequah OK when Wilma Mankiller was Chief.
FYI I think thats still how they vote in Okmulgee County OK I should know!
;-)
Dewayne, we are talking Jackson County, NC. I came close to getting arrested for taking pictures of simple mountain folk holing their paper ballots up to the window so they dould collect their half pints of Ancient Age. The Democrats didn't trust their voters and wanted proof. The local Ford dealer was a Republican and sitting in a car with some of his boys with guns, so the deputy had to back off. The Churkee would pretty much keep their word once they were bought off. We carried Qualla Precinct by better than four to one. This is the American way. Even Edgar Allan Poe died of alcohol poisoning being carried on a wagon from poll to poll in Baltimore.
Geoff my Mom was in Chicago in 1960 and witnessed the Daley machine in full force including all the Republican ballots that went missing and the fact in Democratic wards Republicans were told to go Downtown to vote!
Oh and Demos were told to pull the "Straight ticket" lever spending less than 5 sec in a poll booth! They didn't want you to "think" about your candidate!
Chicago was one of the worst in the 60's under Dictator Daley and his Fascist Goon squad!
The 1968 convention simply bared the "Ugly city" for all to see!
Still remember Walters admonition
"There just a bunch of Thugs Dan!"
After Dan Rather was just belted by a Daley Goon on the convention floor for "witnessing" strong arm tactics by a Daley goon on a Delegate,,,not a bad thing actually ;-) Dan NOT the Delegate!
Dewayne, Dan Rather getting solar plexus punched by a Chicago detective is absolutely the funniest thing I have ever seen on TV. That and Walter saying, "They're a bunch of thugs, Dan, just a bunch of thugs." My dad and I laughed our asses off and practically fell off the couch. The street riots in Chicago were Communist led with direct input from Moscow. I was 15 going on 16, and it was a very eventful August. I listened to Radio Prague on shortwave as they suddenly signed off, and I started going door-to-door for Ed Gurney for Senate.
"the winners are determined by online public voting, based on unique IP addresses I presume."
Hehe, Jim, I don't want to depreciate Brent's uber-popularity :-) but multiple voting from one IP address was definitely possible (from different e-mail accounts).
And I guess it's quite obvious how I know that (and everyone else :)
Hmm, I wonder who voted for Michael Lucas...Didn't they mean George L.? I'm terrible with names too :-)
Admittedly, I don't know much about this guy but, judging by his comments/statements here and there, I would say he totally lacks a sense of humour and self-irony.
jim,
Respectfully, you would not be trying to "interfere with Jason Ridges celebrity" with the latest update to this post?
He takes that very seriously.
Hehe, not "interfere with" his "celebrity," but "use."
But, what does it matter anyways, as the "audience is not listening"?
Although somehow, they do still vote for awards, LOL!
"...but multiple voting from one IP address was definitely possible"
Yeah, I never tried CS voting myself, so I suppose that could be the case.
I wonder if they could have thrown out such duplicate ballots during the counting stage, however? But who knows; I looked for some indications of their voting safeguards online, and found none.
I just figure they are Cybersocket; hence they must know a thing or two about these teck-no-logical doo-hickeys we spend so much time typing away on.
yeah i figured that out (cybersocket) but the poll on MY Blog is IP restricted and only one vote per week i will take it down next week and publish the results,,Brent still won handily but then what do you expect Brent Corriganinc is my biggest referring link
Geoff what was your take on Sen Ed Gurney he seemed somewhat of a tragic figure(his legal problems despite aquital) and yet historically he blazed the trail for the "Southern Strategy"
"I wonder if they could have thrown out such duplicate ballots during the counting stage, however?"
Not sure, but if they did it would have been in fact discriminatory because all votes (but one) from one IP address sent by different people (using the same PC or sharing the same IP address) would have been eliminated.
Dewayne, 1968 was a traumatic year, and I am really happy that the
nightmare of the '60's and '70's passed, and the world didn't come to
an end. I hiked a couple of miles down to Republican Headquarters on
Lake Eola one Saturday morning, and some very smart people laid out a
plan to the hundred or so volunteers assembled for our contacting
every voter in the city and getting them to vote Republican. (It
worked. There was a near Republican sweep in Orange County.) But there
has to be a homo story in all this. Little 105 lb. faggot me met a
beautiful straight boy who made my knees go weak, and I spent the next
ten Saturday mornings riding bitch on his Honda 350 while we canvassed
the city. Blond hair, blue eyes, muscles, motorcycle.
Ed Gurney was a Yankee and typical of those who moved to Central
Florida after WWII. Gurney was not racially prejudiced to my knowlege,
but the '68 elcection got to be all about race, because we literally
had race riots that fall and because Leroy ColLins was an infamous
November Lima. I'm sorry I'm having trouble putting my thoughts
together about this, but most of my memories are of unrequited sexual
desire.
O Joran, please, please fuck me and kill me!
