You guys seem to think we made the decision to post this today. We made the decision years ago. People like to fuck, laugh and watch things die. Consumption Junction is in the sex, humor and violence business.

We've always posted content like this. We have a LONG history of it. Go back in our site to 9/11 and look at what we posted then. We had the shocking momemts live when the big news sites were down because we can handle more bandwidth then them.

We have an obligation to our fans to post these items. CJ isn't a porn site that posted a beheading video. It's an archive of all the crazy shit that goes around the Internet. Sex is only part of it, understand? We are the car wreck on the Internet where people stop and stare.

We are the destination site when there is a current event. It doesn't matter if it's a beheading or the star wars kid. When there is famous content on the net we post it! Not doing so would be destroying our business model. Nothing anything any of you say could ever change my mind. The cold reality is that you don't understand my business.

I think most of us do understand your business - some of us just don't agree with it. There is more to life than just business.


Something legal that sells really well is underage non-nude. Some people make good money from it, others wouldn't have anything to do with it if their life depended on it. Those probably do understand it all too well, they just have a little pesky thing called morality, or a conscience if you will.
