Porn is a product. And in the end, the real true worth of any product and/or service is ultimately determined by how much someone is willing to pay for it.

That's called Free Enterprise. Capitalism.

Fuck the "blue book price". Fuck what some antique expert on PBS thinks your dead Aunt Tilly's vintage quilt will fetch at auction..etc. Fuck the great "buzz" surrounding your sure fire, indy movie. Fuck the TOPPS magazine report that claims your baseball card collection is worth a million dollars etc. That's all hype. And it doesn't mean shit.

Tell me what you sold it for! What did Mr. John Q. Public pay for your shit? That's what it's worth.

That's the only true determination of market value...and it's called the bottom line.

The overpriced diamond ring you bought from Zales for your former girlfriend is worth exactly what you pawned it for the day you caught her fucking your best friend.

And if you took the $75 bucks from Mr. Pawnbroker--- then that's what your "mistake" is worth. Sad but true.

I don't know exactly where porn is going in the future. But I know one thing for sure....

There's no such thing as a self-made millionaire. Porn--- much like life is a zero sum game. And for every seller there has to be a buyer to keep the game going...the exchange of currency.

The companies that "keep on keepin' on"....year after year...the guys who have the big boats and the mansions on the hill.....have figured out that you need to produce whatever product the guy on the street is willing to pay for.

And if he's willing to pay MORE then what it costs you to PRODUCE it...then you have a winner. A profit. And you keep on giving him more of the same fix...no matter how shitty the rest of us "80's Retro Porn Junkies" think his "stuff" is. If it sells profitably...in volume...it's a winner. Period. Because that's the definition of a money making enterprise..be it porn or widgets.

Cuz the truth is....if "Debbie Does Dallas" was truly what "today's" America's porn buyers wanted as a whole....I promise you...someone would dig up Bambi Woods asap... and we'd be seeing her blow Ron Jeremy in some locker room scene 30 years after the fact. And how scary is that?

P.S. AP Report 9/8/: Ginger Lynn scored a controversial second round TKO over Traci Lords in a celebrity boxing match in Las Vegas last night. The fight was stopped by Nevada State Athletic Representative Marc Rattner and ringside doctor Flip Homansky on advice of referee Richard Steele. Miss Lords was hospitalized overnight in LasVegas for observation as she denied ever being in the ring with Miss Lynn??? Lords indicated she plans to sue World Modeling's Jim South and promoter Don King for "pain and suffering" as a result of this booking.
