Playboy's Seductive, Convoluted Cell Phone Thing

Now, what would you do if it wasn't exactly porn, but a reality show webisode thing? You'd participate in a convoluted cell phone-based marketing scheme, wouldn't you. There's babes involved! More »

La petite mort for man, a giant hump for mankind
Playboy capitalist Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic will take your $200,000 to book a brief trip to space. But when offered $1 million cash upfront to let an unnamed pornographer film some zero-gravity, superatmospheric nookie with the futurist-fetish SpaceShipTwo cabin as a backdrop, the space-tourism startup declined. Which leaves us here at Valleywag nothing to look forward to on the smut market once Hustler Video debuts the company's hardcore ode to Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin (Warning: Boobies and such).

'Citizen Journalism' = Porn
Dadgummit, porn ruins corporate strategy! CBS is learning the hard way that if you give people a "branded mobile platform" to "upload" their "user-generated content," the "content" they will "generate" is "nekkid womens." The Tiffany Network started a site called CBSeyemobile.com where you, the idiotic consumer, can upload photos. And now they're shocked, shocked to find out that it's full of filth, loose women, and inappropriate public demonstrations of lesbianism! Ad Age broke the story in a Pulitzer-worthy feat of journalism, causing them to (modestly) publish this rather NSFW picture, which we are prepared to say is the most newsworthy photo that has ever graced that august publication's pages: More »

Porn palace in San Francisco houses just another startup
San Francisco's Kink.com operates just like any other startup — young folks everywhere, DJ booth in the break room, plucky office vibe — except there's way more ass-fucking. That's the story from inside The Armory, the imposing 200,000-sq. ft. "castle" at Mission and 14th Streets. The Armory's dungeonlike interior is the base of operations for CEO Peter Acworth's fetish-porn production company. What began as a shy British boy's experiments — building "fucking machines" and getting girls from Craigslist to ride them — has bloomed into a business that allowed him to buy his own playland for $14.5 million. Kink.com is the cover story for this week's San Francisco Bay Guardian. If you're not up to speed on the whole fucking-machine scene, here's a one-minute SFW text primer: More »

Baby's first gay porn, courtesy of Google

Porn and ads account for two in five videos watched online
That's what the addition by subtraction equals when you compare comScore's 10.8 billion unique video streams counted in June to Nielsen's 7.5 billion — because of the two Web usage statistic compilers, Nielsen refuses to count "pornography" and "advertising" in the company's total. At first I though, "There's a difference between porn and ads?" And then I remembered: I generally like porn and I usually hate ads. No wonder it's so hard to chose between loving and hating American Apparel. [Silicon Alley Insider] -

Microsoft realizes the Internet is for porn
Mozilla ended up dropping the feature from Firefox 3, but rumor has it Microsoft is considering adding a private browsing mode to its Internet Explorer 8 update. Private browsing — also known as "porn mode" — makes dumping a browser's history, clearing its cache and blocking cookies that much easier. Apple's Safari browser has had it as an option since 2005, when Paul Boutin recommended readers use it for "birthday shopping." -

Internet safe from California porn tax
Online porn has been spared an XXXL tax, proposed last spring by Assemblyman Charles Calderon (D.-some town where no one buys porn). When even state Republicans wouldn't back the 25 percent tax on adult entertainment, including streaming and downloaded Internet content, Calderon's argument that those who produce and consume porn need to pay for its "harms" on the community started to fell apart. This week, the bill got tied up in the Appropriations Committee, from whence it's believed to be unlikely to emerge before the close of the legislative session on November 30. The term is "held under submission," and it has nothing to do with anything going on inside Kink.com's headquarters in the Mission District.

Vudu sexes up its set-top box, but is it too late?
Vudu, a startup which sells a set-top box for downloading HD movies over the Internet, has finally added adult content to the mix through a partnership with AVN. Neither Netflix nor Apple will let you watch folks bump uglies — in stunning 1080p resolution, no less. Vudu rival FyreTV won't let you download anything but porn, so it's certainly a differentiator. But is it enough to save Vudu's business model? Unlikely. At $299 (marked down from $399), the box is pricey, the selection of videos still limited, and the premise that viewers will spend up to $20 to virtually "own" Ashlynn Goes to College 3 questionable. And of course, the real competition isn't other paid services — it's the millions of hours of free porn available on the Internet.

Even porn execs have bitter domain-name battles
The Fed love a good porn investigation. Allegedly, John Gray, CEO of the strip-club-industrial complex Spearmint Rhino, has been illegally taking control of domains owned by his former business partner, Michael Ninn, best known for the kind of arty, high-gloss hardcore films that almost take themselves too seriously to be porn. The FBI is rumored to be investigating. On the one hand, it's good that the naked-lady biz has its corporate-level disputes treated fairlly by the cops. On the less-lubed hand? The tipster alerting us to this case offers a better remedy: Perhaps Mr. Gray could focus on his actual naked-lady biz and drop the overpriced drinks and cover charges. (Photo via AVN)

Child Online Protection Act gets sent to time-out a third time
Defeated a third time this week: the Child Online Protection Act, a 10-year-old law deemed unenforceable twice by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, and once by the Supreme Court. The American Civil Liberties Union argued that though the law is written supposedly to prohibit minor's access to "harmful" materials online, it could land your average sex blogger selling CafePress g-strings up to six months imprisonment for not blocking underage Web users from their site. Though the guidelines for what's considered "harmful" have been deemed overbroad, it's anticipated that the Bush Administration will seek another appeal. Better hurry if he wants to block Obamaporn before he rolls out of office. (Photo by Silveira Neto)

MeeVee's cocked-up new strategy for growing a late-night audience

From their launch in 2000 as a "TV Guide killer" to their recent shift into online video listings, MeeVee has never managed to find an online-video niche — but this slip-up suggests one. The site has been up for sale since April. Clearly, these guys are not partying with YouTube's porn team nearly enough.

Politician threatens to sue Comcast for not fighting child porn the right way
Broadband provider Comcast is pushing back against New York state attorney general Andrew Cuomo's demands to support his anti-child-porn campaign. Comcast and 16 other ISPs signed an agreement with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which maintains a blacklist of suspected illegal porn sites — but for Cuomo's office, that isn't good enough. They insist that in addition to blocking websites, Comcast must fall in line with Time Warner Cable, Verizon, Sprint, AOL and AT&T in shutting customers out of all or part of Usenet, the network of Internet-based discussion groups, and contributing funds to root out more child porn providers. It's not the most practical or even Constitutional approach, but a good move for headlines. Comcast has until Friday to respond to Cuomo's request to sign his code and kick in the cash.

Facebook-for-fetish makes accidental porn model
A dating site billing itself as the Facebook of kink has played host to the accidental debut of actual Facebook user Becky Spraggs as a model-for-hire. According to Spraggs, photos from her Facebook account were used to make a fakester profile at FetLife.com, listing her ex's mobile number as her agent's with the come-on "I want to be used and abused." The profile elicited 50 phone calls offering her work. FetLife's founder John Baku says he removed the profile within 30 minutes of hearing the complaint — not from Spraggs, but from a reporter. As much as we journalist types like looking at your naughty Internet bits, next time someone accuses you of being kinkier than you want to admit online, maybe try hitting up the tech support guys first? -

Playboy contest morphs into Dutch auction
At least four of the nine women chosen by Playboy editors for their hottest blogger contest are actively playing to lose. None of them would let us run their emails from Playboy.com's editors, but there's a clear pattern: Playboy emailed blogstars like Xeni Jardin for a chaste headshot photo to go into an article about sexy bloggers. The emails didn't explain that (a) it was a poll, and (b) the point of the poll was to get the winner to pose "topless or nude" — no G-rated shoots — for the magazine's website. Only sex writer Violet Blue seems openly thrilled to be in the running. Here's an idea: Everyone vote for Violet. Spare the rest of us the awkwardness. [UPDATE: TechCrunch has one of the emails.]

What's obscene? If you ask Google, less and less every day
Do Floridians search more passionately for "bukkake" than "ethanol"?. Nobody thought to enter that data into the public record until Clinton McCowen, the proprietor of CumOnHerFace.com, was slapped with obscenity charges by the State of Florida, and his defense attorney turned to Google for aid. Last week, when the defendant settled out of court and accepted a three-to-five-year prison sentence, it seemed like the Google Trends defense was dead in the water. But McCowen's lawyer, Lawrence Walters, still believes Google's positive response to his subpoena — soliciting the frequency of sex-related search terms by community — bodes a shift in American morality. Simply put: Google has forced us all to confront just how kinky we are. More »

Well after the Eliot Spitzer scandal has subsided and bronzed call girl Ashley Dupré no longer makes headlines, she's dropped her case against Girls Gone Wild's entrepreneurial ex-con Joe Francis over the online release of a video characteristic of Francis's oeuvre. We can only hope the young Dupré, pictured here in her high school yearbook, walked away with not just a settlement up front but points on the back end. Sadly, the market cap on her performance can have only been diminished by the wait — I can imagine a band manager-type, buoyed by well-bankrolled rap videos, holding out for mainstream money. More »

What keeps YouTube free from hardcore porn?

The battle for the iPhone's soul: handshake deals or hairy palms?
How to grow the iPod market beyond the faddish, technofetishistic trendizen crowd? Analysts, and Apple, are looking to the corporate market, with better security, email support and GPS. The problem? The device is tethered to a single carrier, Apple hasn't played nice with corporate IT in the past and, frankly, the suits bore Steve Jobs. And you are never, ever, to bore Steve Jobs. The real problem is that customers might want to keep the iPhone a personal device to lug around with their Blackberry and company laptop — so that they can have a personal browser free from management's all-seeing eye.

Now, according to the Times, the ISPs are paying over a million dollars to Andrew Cuomo's office and promising to block child porn sites as identified by the office — to all their subscribers across the U.S. As despicable and exploitative as child porn is, blocking it this way is a terrible move.

Playboy manages to lose money online
Playboy lost $3.1 million in the first quarter as revenues dropped 8 percent to $78.5 million. Playboy EVP Bob Meyers blamed digital revenues, which fell 3 percent to $15.2 million. Silicon Alley Insider gasps that the declining digital revenues are "Not A Typo." But with free porn sites like RedTube and YouPorn, why would anyone pay Playboy's $19 per month subscription fees? Truth is, if Playboy wants to charge, it's going to have to find a niche like SuicideGirls has — and, is there a better word? — exploit it.

If they're turning to the Kindle to deliver their porn, Amazon's not telling. Not entirely. We've got numbers on how well the same books sell in print, but not for their Kindle counterparts. Better figures might be possible if everyone's who's spindled their Kindle dropped Amazon a line.

For a woman's password, offer chocolate; for a man's, try porn
45 percent of women will give away passwords to strangers pretending to be market researchers when offered a chocolate bar in exchange, according to Infosecurity Europe's survey of 576 office workers. Men fell prey to the scheme 10 percent of the time. Surprised? Don't be. That's addiction. Chocolate contains anandamide and for women in particular, its a psychoactive and addictive food. Academics report that 40 percent of women crave chocolate more than any other food. 53 percent like it better than sex. Meanwhile, only 15 percent of men have a similar hankering. But that should lead to an obvious conclusion for anyone trying to snag their passwords: ComScore reports that more than 70 perent of men from 18 to 34 visit a porn site each month.

Fired employee plots discrimination lawsuit against Penthouse site
Despite such perks as "all the porn you can watch if you've a mind to," a former employee of Adult FriendFinder, the user-generated porn site now owned by Penthouse, plans to sue the company. He says the company fired him because of "his activism on behalf of gay, lesbian, and other alternative lifestyle folk." The ex-employee says he isn't gay himself, but that he "pissed off" FriendFinder president Rob Brackett by criticizing the company for not serving the needs of "the alternative lifestyle community." Also, he says FriendFinder's office isn't wheelchair accessible. So there. For more such rants, this ex-employee has set up a blog called 445shermanesque, titled for FriendFinder's street address in Palo Alto. Until Craigslist took it down, he'd also posted an ad soliciting stories from other ex-employees who had been "Rode Hard and Put Away Wet." A screenshot of the pulled ad is below, in case you'd like to participate in the fun. More »
