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....

  Hell, if the Nano had an option to vibrate it would be many a girl's best friend.

The porn industry preys on the young?! by Anita+Coney · 2005-10-28 20:33 · Score: 4, Funny

Why would young people ever want to view porn?! They're young enough to actually get laid. Why fantasize about what you can actually do?!

What sort of iPod accessories would porn on the iPod spawn?

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.

I believe jeff Goldblum said, "Porn will find a way."
A few scenes later and he is in the back of a jeep with a busted leg driving away from a raging vagina monster.

I guess we should just be grateful that both of your hands were already occupied....
