Adult Content Revenue To Pay For UK 3G Licenses
Makarand writes "According to this
article in The Guardian mobile phone companies in the UK
are turning to soft porn in a bid to recoup the billions they have splashed
out on third generation licences.
If the industry can persuade regulators that they can come up with a
fool-proof way of registering phones that are owned by those who are 18 and above
it will clear the way for a major new revenue stream using adult content.
Dedicated teams at companies using 3G licenses are already looking into
making money from adult content."
UK mobile phone companies are selling pornography?
Pornography is indistinguishable from rape. It runs women through a blender, converting their bodies into liquified youth. There is no such thing as consent in pornography, because every person involved is there because of dire economic need. But we tolerate women's public humiliation and public rape, because men universally crave and devour pornography.
How can they justify profiting from such exploitation? I understand their stock prices are slipping and they're desperate to pump some new revenue sources, but pornography is unconscienable. Every dollar these companies make is now tainted with the blood and tears of exploited women.
This calls for a boycott. This calls for a public outcry. There is no excuse for sitting by the sidelines and watching the world go by. Everyone who does not actively oppose this move is complicit in human suffering.
The Ten Commandments tell us, "Thou shalt not rape!" The Bible also tells us to love our neighbors as ourselves. These companies fail.
If we let them sell pornography like this, then it's a slippery slope down to having them sell videos of executions. If you thought it was bad that Dale Earnhardt's autopsy photos were almost published, imagine if you'd had to see photos of electricuted criminals in your Sunday newspaper.
The need to exploit others for profit is a pervasive one in our society, but it's not one that we can't arrest as we arrest other criminal passions. The free market cannot thrive unless we police it for criminal activity such as this, just as it cannot thrive unless we police the market square for pickpockets.
Pornography kills women's souls. Pornography burns men's souls. There is no victor here, except for the ugly head of capitalism. Mobile phone companies must not be allowed to perpetuate this abomination against humanity.
my dick is so hard right now
Just use this new gimmick!
