I love this quote, because it's so true.

"Skepticism is in order, though, because as David Klatell, associate dean of the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism notes, "[Pornography] is an industry where they exaggerate the size of everything."

Back in the day when other programs used to share their numbers with us verbally we always had a rule to divide by 2 if not 3 depending on who you were talking to.

I think the $ around the porn industry as a whole is irrelevant and the more important factor is that pretty much 99% of men enjoy watching adult entertainment is the more telling factor. It's a huge market.

C'mon Alli, give us a ballpark of what you think. You and a few other may actually have an idea, so there isn't rampant speculation.
