Anyway, I don't really care about Hustler's association with Acacia... that wasn't really my point... I'm more interested in the future of these big name-brands and the affect of the Internet on pop-culture -- I suppose this is not the place for intelligent theoretical discussion... Can you blame me for wanting to see the Internet FINALLY go mainstream? When I see MILFHunter graffiti in the public library -- that makes me happy... That's my agenda -- I want to see some homebrew internet companies get some street credit because we fucking deserve it and the time is coming IMHO.

Fly,
I have no problem engaging in intelligent discussion, you just didn't start it out that way. Thanks for clarifying the shaving comment because their is a big different. We have never shaved and never will.
Now...regarding your point above. Pure adult Internet companies have kicked ass on the big brand names for years. That is no secret.
All I'm suggesting is that Hustler is catching up fast and will be right there with some of the leaders like MilfHunter, etc. Why? Killer content.....
For years, this biz was more about billing schemes than it was about content. A company like Hustler is not going to get involved in ripping off customers, so for a long time they could not really compete.
That is changing fast with new Visa/MC regs and customers sick of getting ripped off. They are flocking to sites that they TRUST and sites that offer Original, High Quality Content. Hustler is now very well positioned to become one of the leading on-line companies.
But I agree with you that some of the great sites out there like MilfHunter are getting much more mainstream and will continue to do very well also.
Bottom line - Old school companies who have not learned out to evolve....WILL die. Those that can play by the new rules, will survive and prosper....
