I'm really hoping the FTC or someone gets involved real damn soon and just starts inspecting all these major players from Sponsors to Processors.
And for those of you who think they won't do it...guess again...the gov would love nothing better to do than make an example out of a big time pornographer.
Do you people working for these companies not realize what this is?

Let's not forget the criminal aspects of the CRIMES these sponsors who shave are committing.
I'm serious...I truly hope one big sponsor gets busted, is exposed, loses everything he owns, and ends up in jail...then maybe we just might see some clean up on that end of this biz.
