"Business 2.0 has a feature on AdultVest.com, a service that matches investors (with purses of varying depth) and adult entertainment companies (with profit margins of various girth).

Whenever mainstream news reports repeat rosy, seldom-factchecked figures like $12 billion to describe the size of the porn industry, I cringe. Porn =! get rich quick, any more than internet = get rich quick, and there's more to those numbers than typically meets the ink.

Leaving aside what feels like an oversimplified and overeager portrayal of the sector's investment risks (actual f'in quote: "there's silly money to be made here"), it's still an interesting feature. Just read with an extra-healthy helpin' of skepticism."

Bill I keep hearing about this company from all my mainstream friends.
I have to be honest and say I havent looked any deeper into it.

They are succeeding in getting mainstream attention but I aint buying it.
