Porn Stimulus

Looks like Bush's economic stimulus package does stimulate the economy. Parts of it anyway. As LAist reports, "According to the independent market-research firm AIMRCo, the porn industry, specifically online properties providing adult content and erotic material are experiencing some swollen numbers in recent weeks thanks to the checks of up to $600 for individuals and $1,200 for married couples that the Administration’s Economic Stimulus Plan handed out this spring." Says a press release, "Many of the sites we surveyed have reported 20-30% growth in membership rates since mid-May when the checks were first sent out, and typically the summer is a slow period for this market." Now, why are we not surprised?
