(VAN NUYS, CA) -- Tom Zupko's second release for Extreme Associates, Ass Clowns, hits the streets today. Zupko, currently basking in the critical glow of his Extreme debut, In The Days of Whore, says that Ass Clowns is a much different show from Days. "Ass Clowns is more down and dirty, shot on DV rather than beta and not story driven," the mad director explains. "It's a series of vignettes based around parental, societal, and religious abuse."

Ass Clowns stars Taylor St. Claire, Kendra Jade, Cat Langer, Amber Woods, Luciano and Brian Surewood and features special guest appearances by former Extreme contract girl Kristi Myst, former XPW wrestler Jake Lawless and adult entertainment industry legend Sharon Kane. "It's really a twisted piece." Zupko says. "It's not at all like Days, but then again, it wasn't supposed to be. The scene with Kendra and the live earthworms with Anthony Crane reading Revelations is way over the top, probably one of the sickest and most bizarre things ever shot. And, as always, Taylor was sensational. She really got put through the ringer and never complained once. Given the brain-dead, zombie-esque walk-through-the-motions performances of most of the washed-up skags in this business whose M.O. seems to be to bitch and complain, it's really refreshing to have a girl as gorgeous as Taylor willing to go so far and put so much into her work. Truth be told, I'd rather see Taylor in two scenes in my movie than two new cunts who fuck like 2 x 4's, have the sexual charisma of Elizabeth Taylor's body fat, and whose acting abilities make Pam Anderson look like Meryl Streep. In my opinion, Taylor is the best female performer currently in the business, and if she's not nominated for starlet of the year, it would be a fucking shame."

Like all of Zupko's videos, Ass Clowns is sure to offend just about everyone. Starting off with a dyslexic St. Claire being pounded in the ass as she is covered in soap opera star Luciano's brain matter (literally) and ending with Ms. Jade and her erotic adventure with Reverend Crane and the amorous nightcrawlers, Ass Clowns goes where very few videos have gone before. "Believe it or not," Zupko elaborates, "Ass Clowns is actually more erotic than Days. I mean, there's some shit in here that breaks every rule and taboo, but it's also ripping peep-show booth raunch. Every girl gets fucked repeatedly in the ass, D.P-ed, gang-banged and smothered in jizz. No hole is left unscathed. And needless to say, and perhaps most important of all, I once again expose all of the frauds, kooks, and hypocrites on this god-forsaken planet, including priests, cops, politicians, the bourgeois, and most important of all, 99% of the directors and producers in pornography."

Also featuring Cat Langer painted silver from head to toe, playing with toy figurines, as she's being attacked by Valentino as The Tooth Fairy, Brian Surewood as a space alien and Claudio as the Easter Bunny, and Amber Woods being dragged into the woods to have sex with two corrupt cops while her boyfriend is forced to watch, Ass Clowns is an unforgettable surreal XXX trip. It is already being talked about in industry circles, and the debate rages as to whether Zupko is a porn visionary, the anti-christ, or a self-promoting hack. "I guess in reality I'm kind of a combination of all three." Zupko laughs.
