It is an up and down industry?

All phases of the economy are taking a hard blow?

Everyone is getting the shaft?

I think the Internet has caused more problems for the porn industry than the recession. Why would anyone pay for porn when so much of it is available online for free?

With a Smart Phone, I can make my own and do my own distribution, for free. Sexting takes the next step, and the technologically moribund porn industry suffers.

The Obama economy came and sucked the life out of the porn business. Picture that.

In the porn industry, a recession is referred to as shrinkage.

Looks like porn sucks as a place to work.

Stop mentioning the real reason.

I want the money people behind porn to continue to try to pour money into it to revive it until they are all broke like the newspaper people are doing. If the investors in this crap could all wind up penniless it would be a very good thing.

Just crack jokes.

It also gives a new spin to the term “stimulus package.”

We could help both industries by allowing flights exclusively for joining the mile high club.

I doubt the Fed will be pumping any liquidity into this market. The underlying assets are often falsely reported, and offer only fake interest in spite of excessive exposure. They used to make money hand over fist, but it seems their core consumer has instead turned to self-service.
