Yes I know its already been on Wired and all the other magazines.
I just got my first iPhone (lawyers get all the cool stuff last) about a week ago so naturally I´ve been checking out different apps. I think this reality browsing might just be my thang. At least it helps me to find decent kebab and/or pizza no matter where I am - and its free. It only works with the new s-version so you know you´ve got to update if you ain´t carrying one.

The unspoken truth in business and especially in the entertainment business is the fact that adult entertainment generates a lot of money. Now, when I say "a lot" I mean a lot.
For starters I´d recommend that you´d take a look at the book "Reefer Madness" by Eric Schlosser. It was first published in 2003 so there´s a good possibility that you´ve already seen it.
I especially recommend the section "An Empire Of The Obscene" of the above mentioned book. You´ll find it through pages 109 - 211 of the said book.
I´ve always said that the brightest innovations in marketing and advertising come from the adult entertainment industry (that´s "porn" if you haven´t understood it yet...) and gambling. This is a statement that I´ve stolen from much wiser people than me. If you don´t believe me just begin to research the origins of web thumbnails... that´s right... it was Playboy who first had to face the fact that it´s rightfully copyrighted centerfolds were distributed online without permission.
We now live in a time where TV shows like Big Brother bring the primal and most basic human phenomenon like intercourse into the living rooms of ordinary people. While the creative and artistic value of such shows can be argued the good thing in my opinion is that such development helps to dismantle the hypocritical attitude of general population.
Just admidit: sex sells.
And the bonus is that we finally live in a time where talented people seek a way of living in the said line of business, just take a look below:
