The Man Behind Online Porn's 'Steve Lightspeed' 246
Carl Bialik from WSJ writes "'In the online pornography business, just about everybody has heard of Steve Lightspeed,' who runs a network of sites, reports the Wall Street Journal Online. 'But few in the porn world know much about Steve Jones, the 39-year-old married father of two behind the Lightspeed persona -- and that's the way he wants to keep it.' In WSJ.com's profile of Jones, tension between his job and the rest of his life is evident: 'He said he and his wife mostly socialize with others inside the porn business, in part because it avoids the awkwardness of explaining his line of work. "Most of our friends tend to be in the industry," he said. Relationships with family members can also be tricky. Mr. Jones's mother works for Lightspeed Media, handling customer service duties, but he said some relatives don't know about his work and likely wouldn't approve.'"

Yeah right. And Steve Ballmer's children have never touched an iPod or used Google.
They'll have an idea something is not quite right. Moving house because the neighbours won't let you play with their kids? Not at all suspicious.
Keep up the good work though, Superdad! Shame you can't get that bumper sticker "Your AP kid gets DP'd by my kids".

You don't owe him anything. If anything, he owes you a few boxes of tissues.

Yeah, if you don't start with a horse, a midget, a tub of lard and a big blue tarp it hardly qualifies.

I guess in this case, "keeping up with the jonses" would have a whole new meaning eh?
