But if it was, I'd probably handle things the same way. Steve Lightspeed, AKA Steve Jones, runs a large online porn company. Actually more of a network given that the company maintains a number of web sites. I learned that from the article, not personal experience.
I've heard jokes that if porn was outlawed on the Internet there would be like one web site left. It's not quite that bad, but there's no doubt that porn has contributed to the growth of the Internet. Lots of adults and way too many kids, want to view porn in the privacy of their own home and the World Wide Web makes that easier than ever before.
There's no doubt that porn makes money. I think it probably makes more money than other online commerce, but that's a guess. It seems like the borderline quasi-acceptable areas of society seem to profit, at least for the owners of companies.
Not judging right or wrong, it's a part of the world and not going away. I have no idea how it is viewed in other countries or what they think of the issue, but it's a political hot button in the US. At least to some extent, though it appears that some universities may offer more porn classes soon.
Still, the story came up big with the Wall Street Journal, so I thought I'd mention it. Not that I wouldn't mind being in that particular publication, I don't really want to be know in this way. Course after paying taxes yesterday, maybe it wouldn't be too bad.
Just remember if I submit my resume to be your DBA, I didn't leave this particular job off my work history.

Hmm..will readily admit that of your many personas this one I like the least (actually "not at all")...think you should definitely keep your lightspeed days hush-hush..

What is really bad is that you are advertising "LiteSpeed" in the same newsletter. Coincidence?

Don't linger too long at the 'wasarrested' web-site ... it gave me a few pop-ups on exiting ... MagicKillah took care of the rest ...

wasarrested .com was completely blocked by our iPrisim web filter. They have it listed as an "adult" website.

I wondered why you have all those shetland ponies. Now where do you keep the three midgets?

I'm afraid I can't see the humor in it like the other posters seemed to be able to.
