Embrace and line up to sell products that they know are frauds.
The problem is most have a very short term mentality, its make money and get out quick. It would be interesting to ask what is your 5 yr and 10 plan and see how many have working in adult in those plans.

Can't that be said for a lot of industries that are not torched by the mainstream? The most popular video games are about being a gangster and shooting cops and fucking hookers (Grand Theft Auto). The top selling album charts are filled with rap and hip-hop artists who sing about degrading women, doing drugs, and shooting other people. The most popular TV shows involve some sort of sexual theme to it. Heck, did Britney Spears gain her popularity at 17 from her vocal skills?
The fact is, this kind of stuff goes on all over the place. As a society though, certain industries have been deemed evil while others are considered OK. It's socially acceptible for the church to bash gays, single mothers, and porn, but seen as a "war on religion" the minute someone turns around to call them self-rightous. If the porn community single handidly ended poverty and solved world peace, there'd still be that negative stereotype hovering over it. Yet no one seems to mind that Catholic priests as an occupation have the highest percent of pedophiles among them.
But I believe that these stereotypes are created by the extremes of our society. Is a majority of the country against porn? Probably not if you look at the sales of it. Will it ever be socially acceptible to discuss what porn sites you belong to at work? Probably not.
I've gotten a bit off topic but my point is that although I don't believe in supporting illegal activities, I don't think it is anyone's responsiblity to go out of their way to convince the public that the stereotype is wrong.
