No Bullshit here. Pick up a Wall Street Journal and you'll see it. Why don't you think the Mormons pull off the porn channels in the Marriot hotels they own? HMM?



That number has become an unexamined truism that is thrown around whenever mainstream media writes about porn but it is BS invented by the anti-pornography movement of the 80s. Dig far back enough and you'll find the number has nothing to support it, it's a complete fiction.

It came out of the anti-porn movement's attempt to make porn big and scary but since then losers like AVN have helped keep the myth alive.

Years ago, when DVD sales were booming, there was a Salon article on Evil Angel that found they made $7 million a year and Stagliano took home $1 million of that. Sound like a industry making more money than professional sports to you?

I'd guess that the inflated numbers try to take into consideration the profits of strip clubs, that's where the real money is probably made, but 'porn' itself is not making anywhere near what is claimed.

The vast majority of cable profits go directly into the pockets of the cable companies and hotels, not the porn companies. The internet is often considered a source of revenue in these estimates as well but these days I'm sure the industry is losing way more via the internet than it is making.

Why do you think whore's are crying and whining everywhere about not being able to find work right now?
