In the early 2000s, Extreme Associates was one of the most controversial gonzo porn production companies, famous for its outrageous videos which often featured fictional rape and murder scenarios. In August 2003, a grand jury indicted the company on federal obscenity statutes. The financial burden of the defence led Extreme Associates to seek funding from the pornography industry. However, the industry turned its back on them. In particular, Larry Flynt – owner of porn colossus Hustler and ‘elder statesman’ of the pornography industry – condemned the company and engaged in an online debate with Extreme Associates producer Robert Zicari. This article analyzes the legal history of Extreme Associates’ trials and the reaction of the porn industry as a whole, trying to answer a simple question: ‘What is too “Extreme” for pornography’
