Bad times in the Sullivan Empire?

[richy]

Yup. Darker Enterprises mutated out of Sheptonhurst and was set up by one of DS's northern managers some years ago, Ray Darker. Clive is DS older brother.

[jj]

They married while he was playing under her (!) at Birmingham City. He's long gone, in both senses, I think.

Tell someone who cares

Millions of dollars doesn't make a happier life.

Just look at the suicide rates and which classes they come from.
Its not just the wealthy.

Happiness is a state of mind not a bank balance.


Having never had the opportunity of being ripped off by DS I feel slightly agrieved that I can't know exactly how you guys feel towards DS and use of advertising.No doubt if I were living in the UK I would have fallen prey-but then I might have also gotten even-my nature-humble but persistent.

Had he pulled the same stunts in OZ he'd be nursing some pretty nice scars be they physical,emotional or monetary.

When all is said and done forget him,that is the biggest insult you can ever give a so called 'big man' who's worth millions.
Talk about people that have done something positive for the UK scene.There are a few notables that are worth praising without having to resort to this DS who has obviously made a heap of dosh from the adult industry under a dubious cloud.

I will rejoice the day that such a thing as Mail Order Porn within the UK is legal.

Seeing as DS introduced R18 hardcore in august 2000 I think he deserves some acknowledgement.

.....and Mussolini made the trains run on time.

...this country could do with a Mussolini...
...Mugabe gave Black farmers a head start...

DS was a very crude exploitation artist - a business man who knew the right buttons to push. He used the weapons of titillation and exaggerated advertising to lock into a human desire. Forget Ronnie Biggs, the biggest swindler in the UK over a 30 year period must have DS in the top 10. (I am not bitter).

Yes, all that "See The Youngest Teenies In Extreme 'Farmyard Action! 45 full length features for just ?9.99!" cobblers. Come to think of it all those fuckers who got sucked in by this crap deserved all they didn't get. Pervy smalltime cheapskates.

Well, that's about half your client base alienated......

[magoo]

Hang on Dibble! How the hell can someone who is just learning the ropes of punterism avoid DS. Hes the only one who advertises and is noticed by the public. In the pre-internet days only a select few people would be aware of Your Choice etc and hence fell into Sullivans well publicised rip off adverts.

Dont seem to recall HCC or Angels ever advertising anywhere.

I think the Sheffield bloke is Richard Darker.

Clive always represents the company at licensing hearings. Says he is from a firm of consultants "employed" by Darker Enterprises.

Can anyone remember a DS company called Ben Foods Ltd? They didnt sell food just rip off soft vids!
