Hello friends. Another Valentines Day has come and gone and I hope it was as sexy and enjoyable for you as it was for me; although that’s highly, highly unlikely. (Not many people know, but when the holiday was first invented back in the 50’s, Hallmark asked me to be the spokesman for Valentines Day. Well, Hef doesn’t commercialize his sex appeal, so I declined.)
But I’m blogging today to discuss two recent news stories. One about the porn industry and the other about Rambo (strangely unrelated postings).
The first has to do with the recent earning announcement from my company, Playboy Enterprises. My friends, do you need any more proof than this that free internet pornography is killing the adult entertainment industry?!? Pundits discussed Playboy’s earning and wondered if our poor results were the harbinger of a recession. Recession?!? Those kats need to read their history books. Adult Erotic Films and Material are recession proof. When times are good, you buy pornography to relax from work. When times are bad, you buy pornography to forget about your crappy situation.
My next topic that has hit the news stands again is about the movie Rambo. Seems that watching this movie in Burma, you may know this country as Myanmar, but it will always be Burma to me, will get you 20 lashes or 10 years in prison. First question, who the heck chooses 10 years in prison over 20 lashes? Those must be some serious wallops! Second question, why can’t the US government impose the same penalties for watching this movie?
