I have heard this story (about personalized porn ) before reading the blog post. At the time I wondered how many people would be comfortable doing so, but in all of NY I figured it was remotely possible. Now, I realize it would be the perfect lie because it was "obvious" that he would not have any material left over, and as a rumor it could easily spread.
I would have that suspicion even if he posted about how he made up the whole story for a blog post and it got him traffic. Or at any level in this recursive tell-a-tall-tale-but-it-was-all-a-lie process.
