Hear hear. I'm sick of the Ted Bundy dodge. Ted was a nutcase hung up on rough sex and killing women. Let's also not forget that he used to volunteer in a rape crisis center (where he met Ann Rule who parlayed that friendship (along with some solid writing skills) into becoming the queen of true crime). That's how the guy was, he was willing to get his jollies any way he could, even by masquerading as a supportive and friendly voice on the other end of the phone counseling traumatized women. Notice nobody ever uses Ted's involvement there to try to ban rape crisis centers. It's always "porno drove Ted to killing", newsflash: a powder blue VW bug drove Ted to his killings (bugs were the car of choice for serial killers back then, nobody is quite sure why, now it's vans which makes a lot more sense).

Yup, we can always nail ol' Ted Bundy on the catch-22, can't we? Bundy claims that pornography was a factor (not the only factor, but a factor) in making him into the swell guy he turned out to be, but since that swell guy turned out to be a serial murderer, we can claim that he has no credibility on the subject. How can we possibly believe anything that the glib-tongued Bundy had to say about anything (especially when the topic at hand was himself and his thought process and the effect that pornography had on that process)?

As if there could be a better expert on Bundy's thought process than Bundy, himself.

"Our industry is, for the most part, recession-proof," said Jim Monroe, vice president of Van Nuys-based Vivid Video, one of the world's largest producers of explicit adult entertainment.

So are most industries that depend on an addicted population to keep business rolling smoothly. Of course, if the industry was unable to endlessly recruit new "adult" film "stars" to satisfy the jaded and bored clientele (how many more times can someone get their jollies from the same old video they've already seen hundreds of times?), and was forced to rely instead on an increasingly aging set of "actors" ("Debbie, Age 62, Attempts To Do Dallas One More Time"), I wonder how recession-proof the industry would be...
