"The first thing we do when we invent a new technology is have sex with it"
With a teaser quote like that, I couldn't help sharing the trailer for Wednesday night's Vanguard: Porn 2.0 investigative report on Current TV. The episode, airing at 10pm ET, November 11 (and in full below, thanks to the miracle of Hulu.com), features Kink.com and Wicked Pictures, among others, and estimates that online porn is a $3 billion a year industry with 266 new adult websites going live every second, and an average of 2 million people looking at porn online at any given minute, with up to 70 percent of that traffic coming during the standard workday.
The Current TV network is on Direct TV channel 359, Comcast 107, and Dish Network 196, if you're as intrigued as I am.
