No Porn for You, iPod

TheBrutalTruth writes "Wired has an article explaining why pornographers are staying away from the Video IPod. From the article: 'When it comes to the iPod, Fayling said there are few rewards and many risks. Fayling emphasized the pitfalls of combining a device designed for younger audiences with content they are prohibited from viewing. "There's already a public perception that we (in the industry) are preying on youth," he said. "Without safeguards you open yourself up to more scrutiny from government and parents' groups.'"

      Ipod porn actually prceeds the video ipod!

      Here's some ipod porn

      (NSFW - If your Boss has a fetish for watching consumer electronics getting busy!)

      On a serious note - why would anyone with an iPod want porn on it? Just looking at the sleek, curvy lines of an iPod Nano seems to give most Nano owners an erection as it is....

    I was driving home the other night, and a mini-van in front of me had porn playing on the tv in the back seat. You have no idea how hard it is to smoke a cigarette, talk on a cell phone, and watch a porn on the tiny mini-van tv in front of you while driving.

  9. How it normally works by putko · · Score: 3, Funny

    A review of the porn business quickly reveals a pattern: some greedy guy (conincidentally enough, he's almost always a Jew) spots an opportunity to make a killing selling something a bit beyond the Pale.

    First it was "dirty books" and black and white softcore photos -- much later hardcore, gangbangs, bukkake and goatse style stuff. The guy starts making money -- and voila, porn is everywhere and he's filthy rich.

    If nobody steps up to the plate, I'm going to make it happen. I will be the Reuben Sturman of the iPod, damnit!
