The XXX Factor (Part Two)

From Skylander, a comment on the "XXX Factor" post I made earlier in the week:
There is one other thing that you might find interesting about what porn is doing. My dad works for a hotel, and recently that hotel was sold to investors. They would like HD and a TIVO-like device in every room.

My dad has been scrounging everywhere and he recently bought 40-inch flat panels for the rooms and is now trying to find Hi-Def content for them. He talked to Sony and Sony struck a deal that they will do HD on-demand movies "at some point" and that he will be at the top of the list if he buys a bunch of their TVs. Well they had the best deal going so he bought those TVs.

Right now, though, no major movie studio has HD on-demand content. But the porn industry does. That's right--you can't see Spiderman 2 in HD on-demand , but you can see Butt Pirates of the Caribbean in full 1080i.


The best part of porn is the film names. They're little comedy classics: porn-ku.

My favorite porn film name of all time, a play on "Batman and Robin" : Cockman and Throbbin.

The Internet Police will be coming to your cube soon after they scan this post. Please remain calm.
