Fleshjack Flub: Dildo Contest Goes Awry After The Sword Leaks Winner’s Name

Last week, The Sword received a tip revealing that Cocky Boys performer Jake Bass would be named one of the six winners in Fleshjack’s annual “Fleshjack Boy” contest. This was verified, re-verified, and then re-re-verified again with a source inside Fleshjack who had direct knowledge of the fan voting results. But instead of announcing Jake Bass as one of the six winners today, Fleshjack changed its own contest rules and extended the fan voting for an additional week.

You’ll remember Fleshjack’s tweet from July 12th in which they announced the total vote count and the end of the voting period:

More importantly, you’ll remember Fleshjack’s tweet from July 12th in which they announced that their CEO had decided to award SIX winners, given the closeness of votes between the 5th and 6th place winners:


So, while the CEO of Fleshjack had already determined who the 6th place winner was (Jake Bass, per my Fleshjack source), Fleshjack decided to change their minds and, as of today, have started the voting process all over! (On the bright side, Seth Knight was named one of the top six today, which means no one is going to be murdered.)

Posted to the Fleshjack blog today:

Even Brent Corrigan acknowledges the top six vote-getters in this video announcement released today. Interestingly, whatever else he had to say about the top six was coincidentally cut off when the video abruptly ends! What did Fleshjack edit out of this video?

 

Good grief. As if everyone wasn’t tried of this stupid contest already, now they’re forcing us all to sit through another week of campaigning. Hopefully, the remaining contestants will do NOTHING and will ignore this stunt, not just because it’s an annoying stunt, but more so because Jake Bass was already the rightful winner at the time the contest ended. And, even if you don’t believe that Jake Bass was the 6th place winner (he was), obviously someone came in 6th place when the Fleshjack CEO made his decision to award six winners on the day the contest closed last week! What happened between then and today? Any performer who campaigns at this point is just allowing Fleshjack to use them for another seven days of publicity, free of charge.

Also, changing the rules of your own contest because someone leaked the results to a blog? I know you’re a toy company, but that doesn’t mean you have to act like a child.

  1. Jake Jaxson, the owner of CockyBoys just posted a heartfelt message on his blog about “Fleshjack-gate”! Worth reading- JakeJaxson.com

  2. This is not surprising.

    We’re talking about the same company that for years let affiliates have their trademarks in their domain names so long as the traffic benefited FleshLight/FleshJack. Then all of a sudden they decide that they’re enforcing their trademarks and take the domains from affiliates. It turned into a many page thread on an adult industry board and NOBODY agreed with the companies decision because they were benefiting from all of the traffic anyway. Just a cheap ploy to cut out the middleman who spent years on search engine optimization and driving sales for the company.

    The worst part is people had even requested and received permission years ago to do this. The CEO just changed his mind one day.

    Now they’re trying to get free publicity out of gay porn stars.

  3. So in essence The Sword cost Jake Bass the win by blogging about it based on an unoffical tip? What’s next: The Sword reporters chasing Mick Lovell through a tunnell in Paris on electro scooters?

    Porn News gettin’ heated! Stay tuned.

  4. ZACK—WHO WAS YOUR SOURCE!? When Fleshjack first denied your story you said you had sold proof! Tell us what you knew, saw or heard that caused you to make the prediction! Knowing that will end the conversations and will prove your point once and for all….and SILENCE the haters!!

    Also, How funny…no one (accept Seth) is talking about the Winner today…..just Jake & ShadyJack!

  5. If Jake Bass doesn’t win again, he shouldn’t throw his fleshjack out of the window, he should use it to bludgeon the CEO to death.

  6. Will it be a Chris Rockway or a Cash Hunter Fleshjack? Plus, if you didn’t win the contest all you have to do is wait 3 months…like Rod Daily and Marcus Mojo…and they will go ahead and mold one anyway.

    Y’all old enough to remember “Who Shot JR?” They filmed about seven reveals and some low-level flunky leaked one of them to the tabloids. The producers immediately threw that footage in the garbage. Since then that’s been the standard trick for those things. As soon as I saw the leak I knew Jake was in trouble. Legally though, it’s their contest; they can do whatever they like with it. Maybe it’s just a way to drum up more sales for Jake.

    1. But JR was not working his ass off asking all his fans to vote and giving another company a bunch of FREE publicity in return. I think what Flesh Jack did here is just mean. It’s clear to anyone with a brain that Jake was the 6th place winner and they intended to reward him. So now that they did this….why would Jake want to help them drum up more sales?

  8. We shouldn’t be played by Fleshjack! If they are changing the rules at the last minute and drawing this stupid thing out longer- forget it! The toys are cheap plastic anyway! And Zach’s last line in the article is brilliant and it’s this kind of writing that makes the sword the best gay blog ” Also, changing the rules of your own contest because someone leaked the results to a blog? I know you’re a toy company, but that doesn’t mean you have to act like a child.” haha!!!!

  9. Jake Bass better be the 6th place winner or I’m throwing all my fleshjack related toys out of my window! This is just madness!
