Stan Antonuk and his team at Swappernet have allegedly began marketing their at-home sex partie that encourage wife-swapping at several of the popular nudist resorts around the Tampa area. It seems like some nudist don't like Stan's approach and cross marketing vision. Homeowners from one of these clubs, Caliente located in Land O'Lakes Florida, have been protesting Stan's strategic alliance vision in the Tampa Bay News Channel 9 and Tampa Tribune's website known as http://www.tbo.com/.Stan and Monique Antonuk from Palm Harbor Florida have heretofore enjoyed a rather posh lifestyle. Living in his well appointed Lansbrook home (1), 41 year-old Stan Antonuk seems to be a successful Chief Executive Officer of an online advertising company that is publicly traded on the American Stock Exchange (2).
But, if the public filings of Antonuk’s Kowabunga (AMEX:KOW) business are closely reviewed (3), they reveal a seedy underworld to the Antonuk’s otherwise wholesome life (4)(5). In fact, most of the earnings for Kowabunga come from their “Direct Marketing” (6) division which includes such obscene sites as swappernet.com and eroticy.com revealing that Antonuk’s “Online Advertising” business is really a front for an online porn and sex business. To earn some of these profits, Antonuk promotes home-based sex parties that encourage participants to engage in wife-swapping (known as “Swinger Parties”) not only in the Tampa Bay area but across the country.Antonuk recently found himself “swinging” on a slippery vine when he and his Kowabunga company teamed up with managers of the Caliente Nudist Resort in Pasco to promote wife-swapping among nudist as well (7). Seemingly, to the Antonuks and Kowabunga; the more the merrier and nudist were ripe pickings!
Now, Antonuk is finding himself answering several questions that he has not formerly been confronted with. For example, what is the difference between the “for-profit” swinger parties and illegal brothels, escorts, and prostitution rings and is this proper business for a publicly traded company to be engaged in? How would the Antonuk’s neighbors in Lansbrook feel if they knew of the swinger parties that Antonuks promotes?
In fact, these are tough questions. Religious organizations like the Countryside Christian Center (8) are demanding answers. One thing is certain, Antonuk must have been following the recent trial of fellow pornographer MaxHardcore (Paul Little) very closely. Unfortunately for Paul Little, and Antonuk, a federal jury convicted the 51 year-old Little of 10 counts of selling obscene material on the Internet with each count carrying a maximum of 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine (9).I hope the Antonuks have now learned….they can’t screw nudists like they can screw other swingers!
