A few months ago we switched from Comcast to Verizon FIOS and finally got around to playing with the "video-on-demand" feature. There are categories for sports and health free movies and network TV shows, and an interesting one that says "adult" that, judging by the titles, consists of some of the raunchiest pornography available.
It appears one can make the feature disappear using parental controls but it is on by default.
There is no mention of the service in Verizon's advertising.
The cost per movie is $12.95 so one suspects a nice profit is being made.
Maybe Verizon is just taking its cue from Mitt Romney and Marriott.
This is disgusting! This is vile! This is the raunchiest porn ever! What? Get rid of it? Well, yeah, it is icky, but look at the deal on got when I signed up for a year's service!
See what I mean? If it really bugged him, he'd quit the service immediately.
I'm not feeling the outrage.
Dang, didn’t get to pinging it tonight. I need to think enough so I can have my rant.
Tomorrow!
