Is there no end to the misery wrought by that beastly creation, the internet? First it destroyed the music business; then it brought the movie and TV industry to a crashing end; and now, it's going after the only thing we have left: pornography. Yes, home porning is killing the smut industry, as this article in the Guardian makes clear. Sites like YouPorn and PornoTube (that's some clever naming, there, fellas) are bringing the dedicated masturbators of cyberspace for free stuff that they once had to pay for, and the situation couldn't be more dire -- after all, at a rough estimate by the International Society for Rough Estimations, pornography accounts for 99% of the internet's revenue stream. According to the article (which also features the delightful quote "The adult entertainment industry is starting to get aggressive"), pornographers are beginning to lay off their employees, which must make for some amusing unemployment applications. One upside to the woes of the skin trade, though: thanks to its, er, miminalist dialogue, at least they're not suffering much from the ongoing writer's strike.
