You cheapskates are really ruining this economy. First, you decided you couldn't afford to gamble. And now you're giving up on another industry that could be crucial to pumping up our flaccid economy: porn. According to The Economist, revenues in the $6 billion a year adult entertainment industry have dropped by 30%-50%, with some producers claiming that they're down by as much as 80%. Film production has dropped from 5,000 to 6,000 a year to about 3,000 to 4,000.
