Will terrorism kill our industry?
 

Hey..

I'm just wondering what will happen to our industry if/when the USA is hit with chem or bio or nuke weapons. I mean, people are going to be scared shitless wondering if they'll survive...porn will be the last thing on their minds!

What do you guys think?

anyone who puts their mouse and keyboard away is letting the terrorist win..

anyone who is too afraid to look at a pic or video of a nice ass or great set of tits is again letting terrorism win.

dont let them, convince your surfers to keep bookmarking and buying new memberships and not to let these terrorist push us around!

its the only way we will make it thru all this :thumbsup

Widespread death and disaster would be good for our business. Surfers will be too scared to go outside. So they'll spend more time at home masturbating.

wackin off is like peeing, they gotta do it every day

porn aint going anywhere

That's a good point, but I'm just curious.... How was business right after 9/11?

I would imagine that if a dirty bomb blows up in Denver or Chicago or Los Angeles or wherever... People would be using all their cash for gas masks and radiation suits, not porn memberships.

I hope I'm wrong though.

The morning of 9-11 was very quiet

But by the afternoon my AVS sites were busier than ever

Stayed that way for a few days

Not sure why it happened that way?

Maybe more people on the web looking for news and stuff?

Wow! I wouldn't have guessed that. I thought everyone in the world decided to go buy gas & bottled water that day.

Porn will always survive.

Csan we still hope for terrorism to stop?

At the risk of crinkling up my tin-foil hat, I'd suggest that a major terrorist attack WOULD spell serious trouble for the legitimate porn industry, among others that aren't in perfect alignment with hard right conservative values.

I've noticed a trend lately when interviewing various governmental spooks and muckity-mucks (Perle, Rice, Rumsfeld, et alia). When asked about the reaction to a new terrorist attack, every one, without exception, suggested that nation-wide martial law would be imposed until "the crisis passed". After hearing the same message from the 4th or 5th person (each in different forums) it occured to me that the whole martial law meme was something they're deliberately trying to get into people's heads so they don't go rioting in the streets if/when it happens. They're softening the hard landing.

I suspect that the 'crisis' may take a particularly long time to pass this time around, in whatever form it takes... and as a result, I'd say that either engaging or avoiding helter skelter will probably trump porn by a few orders of magnitude. :ak47:

Of course, if you take my idle ramblings to heart and are now starting to stock up on .308 shells and gas masks, you should seek professional :helpme :1orglaugh

Signups go up when people are stuck in their homes with nothing to do but jerkoff.

My concern exactly. Although I'm intrigued by the point made earlier about people being more confined to their homes with nothing to do...except jack off.

So have any of you guys made alternative plans just in case it all goes to hell in a handbasket?

hahha :thumbsup

ya if that happens the first thing i will be worried about is a drop in sales......

No shit, Sherlock.

I don't speak retard

I agree, Tommy Franks started the Martial Law talk a year ago and recently they've all been saying it. Although I find it hard to believe that it could happen without insane riots and a serious opposition from the left, and hopefully some people in the Pentagon. It would take a nuke attack, and I don't think even Bush is stupid enough to let his terrorist friends set off a nuke in the US. 100k dead people and everyone would be a family member of a victim demanding answers.

Just imagine US under martial law. :(

...with Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld in charge. :helpme

Excuse my ignorance, but what would martial law in the US entail? Who would be in control? How would life be different than it is now?

if people stayed in their houses, there would be MORE demand for porn, not less

There are a few things people keep doing under great stress or / oand war. Fuck, Drink Eat and Gamble. Keep that in mind.

We have more chance of newbies/waveriders killing our industry then terroriste :2 cents:

:1orglaugh
I think it may have an effect but i'm not sure how big it will be

nation-wide martial law would be imposed ?

You're full of crap post some links.

:Graucho

Yeah. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, I just wonder what life would be like if we were under martial law? How would things change? I would like to see some links about it if you have any. Thanks!!!

Don't think so..but again everything is posible..:2 cents:

Entertainment and vices always experience a boom during wartime. Tired soldiers coming home need entertainment to keep their minds off their shell shock, lonely women at home need something to do, and nobody wants to really think about what's happening, so they numb themselves.

But yeah.. the whole martial law thing is a little scary. China, here we come. :eek7

This post probably makes less sense than any other post I've ever read on gfy. And that's saying a lot. :1orglaugh

I'm gonna go ahead and assume you're someone's character, because the alternative is just mind-numbing. :1orglaugh

Well Holly, bury your head in the sand if you want to, but preparedness makes a LOT of sense to me...whatever happens. :321GFY

Will terrorism kill our industry ?


Not before Bush does.:2 cents:

Obviously the news has gotten to you guys head

"Will terrorism kill our industry?"

thats some dumb thing g w would say

cencorship would kill porn before "terrorism"

smarten up guys, i love ya

Porn and drugs/alcohol are two vices, it doesn't matter how fucked up their lives are they still want it.

:fart: -----> DICTATORS

You're right Amy. I've got my shovel in hand and I'm headed to the backyard right now to start digging my post-apocalyptic porn readiness shelter. Thanks for making me more aware. I almost dropped the ball on this one, big time!

You da mang, dawgg. ;-}

Porn will stay forever...... Dont matter what happeds

I think ALL business will suffer if that happens...

But to me... porn may ease the tension and help people relax... so who knows?

I think you have issues.... Or you're high right now, I can't figure which one....

People will always need porn and no matter if it war, terrorism or anything else. Porn, sex makes people to forget about problems and relax. I think it`s not only physical necessity but a psychological too :)

people this industry will last for ever

nah, i'll be beating myself like a bongo drum until the very end :winkwink:

No chance. People will want more of it.

yeah, gotta look out for censorship.

ok, not trying to sound like a wack job here....but...




don't imagine it...prepare for it...

Elli is right on.

As an example of one part of our industry, the camgirls I am friends with all experienced an INCREASE in paying viewers post 9/11. People were freaked out, scared, out of sorts, etc. . . . and they were spending more time with girls in pay-per-view cam sessions.

Too true.

I'm so glad you guys brought up this point, because I hadn't really considered it before. I'll just assume that as long as the internet exists, so will internet porn. Somone pass me a beer. :thumbsup

What are Bush and Ashhahahahaha doing to kill the porn industry? What am I missing. Have any links on the topic?

NO FUCKIN WAY! WERE HERE TO STAY!!!
