Holy Smokes! even CNN has a "porn biz collapsing" article

This is getting freaky. Everybody and their brother are writing a "porn not recession-proof" article.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/LIVING/10/05...lls/index.html

Adult entertainment "facing its first downturn ever in its history," company says
Internet, sour economy means models are working for cheaper rates
DVD and magazine sales are struggling during the recession
"There's always money to be spent on sex," says couple at expo

Seems to be mostly brick-and-mortar ink and paper and dvd oriented.

I love stuff like this!

The sky is falling, everyone should quit.

I don't see any mention of credit card declines in the article though.

Publicity for porn...probably a good thing.

Should be a whole lot less competition a year from now not to mention a lot less sponsors to choose from.

Those were exactly my first thoughts

DVD sales have been falling for years but now they are dropping in huge numbers.

The major studios are hurting bigtime along with us webmasters.

CNN categorized the article under "Where the Jobs Are" and "CNN Student News". It's interesting to note that they're targeting readers who are jobseekers or college students. I wouldn't be surprised to find out some conservative religious group is behind this article, to deter people from considering a career in porn.
