story category Cable's Solution To A Recession: More Porn
Carriers to advertise adult fare more, lower prices
(old news - 06:34PM Wednesday Mar 11 2009)
tags: business · alternatives · cable · content
Former Adelphia CEO John Rigas used to have such a moral objection to pornography, he wouldn't allow his cable company to offer it. Unfortunately for John, he didn't have quite the same moral qualms when it came to illegal financial practices. Were he still in business, Mr. Rigas would likely be outraged to hear that in order to fight both the recession and telcoTV competitors, cable and satellite companies are going to push porn harder. According to Ad Age, cable and satellite carriers are going to ramp up advertising adult fare on other channels (albeit only at certain times), and lower the prices for many adult offerings. Ad Age also surmises that the availability of free online porn is also playing a role in the decision.

There are some good sites where one can get for a reasonable fee legal, DRM free pr0n, unedited and much better than cable offerings. Of course, with the 250 GB cap things could get interesting. One wonders about the fortunate Comcastic "coincidence" that this little rule they put in helps their services against the competition that is better and cheaper. Just a coincidence, definitely.

A number of years ago, I stayed at a hotel in a certain southern state. Was flipping through the channels and came across one of their adult PPV channels where the filter wasn't working. The filter killed the color, but the channel was watchable in BW and the audio was fine.

If you turned off the audio, the video could have almost run on prime time network TV. Everytime there was a closeup of anything remotely interesting, the editor picked the most boring part of the picture and zoomed the entire screen to that area.

Basically you heard a lot of heavy breathing and sighs, with closeups of the back of a head, or bedposts shaking.

Ahh! That wasn't pr0n I was ordering back when I was an Adelphia subscriber? Oooh!

Then perhaps Mr. Rigas could more fully explain the ins & outs (and there were plenty of 'em) of what I was watching, because I'm pretty sure those weren't Walt Disney productions.
And though I can't define Walt Disney, I generally know it when I see it.

John Rigas and Son Tim

may be into porn these days. The men in the place where they currently reside are rather lonely and John and Tim may be having relations with these men at the Federal Correctional Complex, Butner, located about 45 minutes northwest of Raleigh, North Carolina.

Well, one can hope!

Morals

Don't get me wrong, I like porn. But that doesn't mean it's healthy, even for someone over 18 years old. I like cigarettes, that doesn't mean that's healthy either. So in my opinion, more porn on TV isn't a good thing at all. There's already more than enough on the internet as it is. But when you watch a Britney Spears or Rhianna video-clip, I mean, I don't see alot of difference besides they have cloths on. Having cloths on doesn't mean it isn't perverted. The same goes for someone being nude doesn't mean the actual action or situation he or she is in is perverted. And those kinds of video-clip are broadcasting on day time for people of any ages, so yeah, ask yourself what is right or wrong.

In this way of thinking, more porn on TV will not make it worst, since it's almost already at it's peak.

I have to wonder...

How can a publication that deals with advertizing (including pay TV services) can get their basic facts wrong:

"Late last year, Rupert Murdoch's DirecTV quietly ended its moratorium on hyping adult video-on-demand offerings on other channels."

Um... Murdoch's News Corp is no longer the controlling interest in DirecTV... Liberty Media is.
