Forget the public outcry, just take into account that it wouldn't make good business sense.

Instead of trying to think of companies that WON'T buy advertising because it's a bad fit to begin with, you should be thinking of the ones that would fit.

Why would a movie starring a "nun" character ever even get MADE to begin with, much less advertise on a porn site! lol

No, the "heavy dose of reality" is that there ARE lots of movies made which would fit perfectly with advertising on porn sites. And some that don't.

For instance, I'm sure that "The Hangover" did targeted advertising in different places than "The Passion Of Christ" did.

Also...again I say that the cigarette industry is a multi-billion dollar industry with NO advertising outlet. The govt. has shut them down everywhere. They have been reduced to hiring girls to go out to nightclubs and hand out free sample packs of cigarettes and coupons for more cigs.

That is the big monster that I'd love to snag for advertising on porn sites.

And then there are the liquor companies.

And here in Vegas there are billboards for doctors in California to get you "legal" so you can buy pot. And how about plastic surgeons that do boob jobs?

The "heavy dose of reality" is that there are lots of advertising opportunities IF things worked out well for this first step.

No, I don't expect us all to make millions tomorrow because of this. But I do see it as a first small step. It could go absolutely nowhere. Or it could lead, down the road, to something bigger than we've ever had before.

Kev, great job! When this takes off, there are a lot of people who will be benefiting from what you started. :)

However, going by what Tony404 posted this can hardly be seen as mainstream crossing over if the person(s) responsible come from the porn side to begin with. It sounds like the porn side has managed to get into mainstream.

There's a reason most newspapers don't accept ads from adult and that's the same reason most if not all mainstream advertisers shy away. At least for now.

You and I are about the same age so we've experienced the same things that have changed over time. We grew up watching I love Lucy where they had to sleep in separate beds on TV and now on the Bachelor he gets to romance 10 girls in prime time almost to the point of softcore porn. The fact that people like Pam Anderson and Paris Hilton can have sex tapes and still be accepted by the general public shows a growing tolerance for adult and I think the internet has played the biggest part of all.

There's a huge wall society has built between mainstream and adult and no one thing will bring it tumbling down. It's going to have to be dismantled brick by brick and time will tell what part this has in it's demolition.

I'm not dissing the idea, I just question whether it will have any impact anytime soon.

The only thing is it has to be targeted to the audience. So no, you wouldn't pay to advertise a children's movie on a porn site. Just like you wouldn't pay to put an ad for it in Maxim magazine.

But pretty much any adult comedy or action movie or sci-fi movie that isn't primarily for children could definitely benefit by having their trailer on porn sites.

It's all about effective targeting and marketing.

Of course, they could just all say "no way" like they always have. Or this could be the first baby steps towards something new.

No reason at all for this weeks "Dinner For Schmucks" or "The Other Guys" not to be running their trailers on porn sites too. Or that stupid new "Pirahnna" remake.

Millions of eyeballs waiting for them.

When George Lucas is putting ads on your thieving site, let us know and I will bow before you in awe. In the meantime, you got a movie made by a porn guy, about porn, put on a porn site that built itself by stealing everyones movies. Not really something to pat yourself on the back for, it's not that impressive considering who made it and what it's about.

The only impressive part is how many bro-ass kissers there are in this thread. You are personally contributing to the demise of the adult industry and are getting praise for it.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves. :2 cents:

Male acai , as shortly lived as it seemed to be, was more of a mainstream to adult bridging of markets than this... :2 cents:

So yeah, if Kevin can take that huge ball of traffic that Mansef/Manwin has thus far been unable to monetize very well (how can they? paysites aren't gonna sell that great off of it for obvious reasons and cam/dating is played out) and sell prepaid ad spots to mainstream...then that is going to open up opportunity for ALL of us.



Even with my comparably small traffic I could easily see a very nice paycheck on prepaid ads if this leads to other companies following the lead of "Middlemen"

The guy bought ads on a tube site.

What does that have to do with Epassporte?

Second, the movie was shown in 7 cities.
How do u expect millions of people who saw the movie trailer scattered across the world to go to those 7 cities to see his movie?

U can't.
His movie will make money once it hits DVD and PPV.


I am not his PR guy nor am I involved in the movie, I am just saying that you guys have no idea what you are talking about, and it's why I dont waste my time here any more.

I (and many others) tried everything we could over the years to get ANY "mainstream" business to advertise with us. I worked my ass off about 10 years ago trying to get a liquor or cigarette company to advertise on al4a and ampland to no avail.

You just pulled off a game changer there buddy. If this works out well for "MiddleMen" it could be the start of a new revenue stream that has eluded all of us since the mid 1990's.
