Fox- the bastion of conservative morality!!!

Wife told me about nightline (i think that was it i dont watch the so called news) in which the exploitation of 18yr old girls and the horrendous things they have to do was shown. BUT...who profits from this porn? Why Fox, AOL, Marriott and Hilton (by offering the films in the rooms).
MOrality my rear end!

3. Yes, these are the companies making a profit from porn

Mainly these major mainstream companies. Marriott -- owned by Mormons, isn't it?

They make millions from the porn industry. And don't forget that AOL is a Time-Warner company.

Some of you may remember that Fox (O'Reilly) made a big fuss about a porn movie shot on the Indiana University campus with students. After O'Reilly had a hissy fit about it on his show, it became the #1 selling porn video in the country. Kinda like the porn version of Oprah's book club.

Makes you wonder. At the heart of the Republican morality crusade seems to be a very perverse sexual repression.

4. The Surveillance Camera Players explain it all for us

Regarding sexual repression and the right wing:

5. I saw that piece

It talked about how 18-year-old girls are snookered into porn by the lure of modeling/acting and then are pushed to do hard-core, damaging stuff (use your imagination). They can't use condoms because "fans" don't like it and therefore the corporations don't like it. They have no healthcare insurance even though they're exposed to all sorts of horrendous diseases. It's very sad. Most of these girls are just out of high school and naive, not these worldly sexpots most people probably imagine.
