Consumer Electronics Show
By Bryan Gardiner
It's a dirty little secret that's not all that dirty (or secretive) for those who follow technology trends.
The porn, or "adult industry" to use today's preferred nomenclature tends to serve as something of an oracle when it comes to predicting which technologies eventually make their way into the marketplace and which ones don't.
If you want to know where consumer technology is heading, look to porno and war, or so the axiom goes.

Twenty-five years ago, it was the adult industry that played a major role in shaping the future of American home entertainment, at least for the following 15 years or so.
Suffering from stagnant theater and video-booth revenues, the industry made a bold decision to shift toward a new method for distributing its content.
In the process, porno cozied up to a budding VHS format in lieu of what many considered to be its superior Betamax cousin.

But nevertheless, when the adult industry gave the thumbs up to VHS, the result of the format war was pretty much a foregone conclusion.
What followed is now common knowledge. The explosion in the early 80s of VCRs and home-video rentals did for the adult industry pretty much what TV did for pro football.
Today, of course, there is a new format war at hand, one between two high-definition discs whose similarities far outweigh their differences.
Nevertheless whether it be out of habit or simply a wish for the whole thing to be over and done with many have started looking toward the adult entertainment industry to get a better feel of which way the high-definition winds are truly blowing.
As was expected, the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show saw even more posturing and politics between the Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD camps, with each side announcing a new set of alliances and predicting that the end of the war was imminent.
Indeed, the success of this high-definition duel, as many have noted, will likely hinge on the partnerships that each coalition creates both with the consumer electronics and film industries.
And while today's home video market environment is far different from that of the 1980s, the adult industry is again poised to play another leading role in the final outcome. That is, if it can choose.
Porn outsells Hollywood
Although the vagaries of entertainment accounting have become legendary, it is universally acknowledged that the U.S. adult-film industry, at around $12 billion in annual sales, rentals, and cable charges in 2006, is an even grander and more efficient moneymaking machine than legitimate mainstream American cinema (the latter's annual gross came in at $9 billion for 2006).
During this year's AVN Awards AVN (or the Adult Video News) is a glossy magazine that's basically the Variety of the U.S. porn industry the media network released its annual survey of the U.S. adult entertainment industry.
The figures were impressive. Total revenue for 2006 came in at an astounding $12.92 billion. Overall, delivery costs were down for the year, according to AVN, a fact that supposedly accounted for the industry's continued growth.
On the video side of things, while the adult industry saw a significant decrease (15 percent) in sales and rentals last year, the sector managed to remain the largest (28 percent) in the adult entertainment market, accounting for $3.6 billion in 2006 this, despite increasing competition from alleged Internet-based methods of pornographic distribution.
And with video sales remaining the industry's main breadwinner, it was only a matter of time before the first high-definition adult film made its way to the public. The industry, not so surprisingly, chose HD DVD.
Like with a 108-inch LCD television, it wasn't really about practicality as much as it was being first to market and finding a cheap way of doing so.
In December of last year, Wicked Pictures released the industry's first HD DVD title, "Camp Cuddly Pines Power Tool Massacre."
Vice President of DVD Production, Jackie Ramos, characterized it as a movie about people having sex ... and then getting killed.
"Camp Cuddly" also happened to be one of Wicked's more popular titles (it had already seen a DVD release earlier in the year) and the company felt there would be continued demand for the movie in glossier high-definition iteration.
Are HD breasts better breasts?
"A lot of people are, like, you sure you want to see porn in HD?" said Ramos at this year's Adult Entertainment Expo. "We happen to feel that they do. We didn't negate ... we still haven't negated Blu-ray, but it was much more cost effective to go with HD DVD."
As Ramos puts it, Wicked chose HD DVD primarily because of Blu-ray's prohibitive expense and lack of market share, as well as the fact that it is generally cheaper and easier to produce using the format.
"Right now, [HD DVD and Blu-ray] are so new that people are confused. They don't know which format they want. Our primary goal was to bring some sort of high-definition product to the consumer. There's something to be said about planting a flag and being first, and we wanted to stay ahead of the curve as much as we can in terms of technology."
In addition to being first, the plan for now, according to Ramos, is for Wicked to continue presenting its most popular titles on HD DVD and eventually move to a day-and-date DVD and HD DVD release scheme.
Again, he stressed that the company was not ruling out Blu-ray.

To defend the nine-year-old Child Online Protection Act, government lawyers attacked software filters as burdensome and less effective, even though they have previously defended their use in public schools and libraries.
"It is not reasonable for the government to expect all parents to shoulder the burden to cut off every possible source of adult content for their children, rather than the government's addressing the problem at its source," a government attorney, Peter D. Keisler, argued in a post-trial brief.

A few minutes later he comes out yelling: 'I can't believe it. This DUMB B**** blew the audition.' Jerry takes a while to cool down. Then he says 'We got no choice. We got to use her.'"
"So before you know it this skinny Dago B**** is naked and doing Harry."
When asked why Ms. Pelosi left the adult film industry, Ms. Spelvin replied: "She tried to make a go of it. But she was so dumb she didn't know that a body double is even lower on the totem pole than a fluffer. I heard rumors Pelosi made a low budget, poorly lighted, grainy stag film in Mexico with a guy who had a beer belly, acne and, bad teeth, but I never saw it. I also heard a rumor that the Democratic National Committee was destroying all the copies they could get their hands on."
