“He’s an archetypal Net creation— a bottom feeder who has inserted himself into the higher ends of the food chain” — Austin Bunn, The Village Voice
“He has elevated moral and spiritual schizophrenia to surreal proportions” — Michelle Goldberg, Salon.
“Ford exposes drug use, mob connections and murder plots, and details the operatic dramas of porn stars’ daily lives.” — Evan Wright, Rolling Stone
“Porn even has its own Matt Drudge — a not-always-accurate Web Industry gossip named Luke Ford, who shares his prototype’s political conservatism and salacious obsessiveness yet is also, go figure, a rigorously devout convert to Judaism” — Frank Rich, New York Times.
