    Was there ever any doubt there's more money in mainstream stuff than adult?
    I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
    I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                    nah, kinda just grounds you with all the "bling" and "im a player" that you see around here. couple mill really isnt shit nowadays, but around the adult world you would think that it was a billionaires club. thats all i was pointing out.

                                Yes it was. And I met that girl who did Spanx, I cant remember her name. She was here in Seattle at Nordstroms 2 weekends ago. Shes not very good looking in person, but you have to admit shes doing pretty good.

                                  Richard Branson didn't make his money from the internet.

                                      The suggestion "There is more money in Adult then Mainstream" means that the poster thinks that he made his money ONLINE in MAINSTREAM instead of adult.

                                      Besides I like picking on Tom.

                                        No, it doesn't. Especially when you consider that in the same post he made reference to "hef" as in Hugh Hefner the founder of Playboy. Clearly, he was referring to the adult industry as a whole, not just online since Hefner isn't exactly known for his internet successes.

                                            A person being to proud to admit they're probably wrong is very common on GFY. This is a classic example.

                                                  Obviously you are. I'm not the one having to back up my statements.

                                                  By the way, did it occur to you that anyone who knows anything about Richard Branson would know that he didn't make his money from the internet?

                                                      Branson could run for Prime Minister in the UK and win without much fuss. What is even more impressive is that he lost that fortune..more than once.

                                                      Any man that signed the sex pistols is okay by me.

Now keep in mind that is usually for the British tabloid press. So, when he launched the direct flights on Virgin from London to South Africa he dressed up as a warrior, etc. That is his style. Remember this is the guy that made his fortune from Tubular Bells. He is the London Playboy version of trump...think Austin Powers but actually cool.

The first craft is to be the VSS Enterprise, in an acknowledged nod to Star Trek's USS Enterprise; the second, also named after a Star Trek craft, is expected to be named the VSS Voyager.

The dude is kooky and down to earth IMO and was just having fun on his island. You see Russell Simmons crib and his wife cannot shut up about the gold this, and the versace that, and the creepy bodyguards standing in the back. Good to see a guy like Branson just having a good time with his money.
