US Rebate Cheques Spent On Porn
“President Bush’s economic stimulus plan which involved sending cheques of up to US$1,200 to every taxpayer has provided a boom to the online porn industry, according to market research. The Adult Internet Market Research Company (AIMRCo) identified an ‘uncharacteristic’ increase in spending on online pornography since the cheques were sent out. Kirk Mishkin, head research consultant at AIMRCo, said: ‘Typically the summer is a slow period for this market. ‘But many of the sites we surveyed have reported 20 to 30 per cent growth in membership rates since mid-May when the cheques were sent out.’ The rebates were supposed to stimulate to the flagging US consumer sector, but it seems that many people are using them for a different kind of stimulation. Jillian Fox, a spokeswoman for LSGmodels.com, one of the sites reporting figures to AIMRCo, said: ‘In a June 2008 survey of our members, 32 per cent referenced the recent stimulus package as part of their decision to either become a new member, or renew an existing membership. Getting more people to buy porn was probably the last thing Bush had on his mind when he came up with his ’stimulus package’. But we’ll take it.’” — (US)

Herbert Hoover once promised Americans a “chicken in every pot.” Nowadays they don’t want chicken. They want every computer to be loaded with creampies and cumfarts. Clearly times have changed. Recently food prices have risen. Gas prices have skyrocketed. The real estate market is collapsing. The economy is a mess. But people aren’t worried about missing a meal or a mortgage payment. They’re worried about stocking up on dwarf sex videos.
In a way, it all makes perfect sense. Porn provides immediate bang for your buck. And it’s a sure thing. If you buy a share of stock for a hundred dollars, you might just be pissing it down the drain. But if you spend a few dollars on Porn’s Most Outrageous Outtakes 2, you know more or less what you’re getting: wank fodder. From that vantage point, porn is money well spent. It presents little risk and probable pleasure. And that’s why people — especially the poorest — so often spend their money on sex, drugs, and alcohol. In the uncertain world they inhabit, these things are guaranteed to provide a return on investment.
When you think about it, the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 constitutes a mass experiment in behavioral economics. It poses the question: What happens when you give some three hundred million people a sudden windfall of three hundred dollars each? And now we know the answer: they stimulate themselves.
Heh. I used my stimulus package to buy lube, a paddle, a flogger, rope, vet tape, a cupping kit, a whartenburg wheel, two new vibrators and a butt plug. Thank you, Mr. President!
I got a lower intake manifold gasket with mine. Not very sexy.
P.S: It never ceases to amaze me how so people still pay for porn with as many free sources of the stuff that are available. Then again, I suppose if at least a few people didn’t pay for it, there wouldn’t be too much.
Are you sure about that? For the most part, nobody who posts to YouTube, to blogs, etc., receives anything for their efforts. It is entirely conceivable that pornography is overtaken by amateurs and ceases to be a commercial venture. Or perhaps the porn will come from amateurs and the real money will lie in hosting it or filtering it…
hmm sure there had to be an increase in the sells of hard drives too…. ;)
