iPorn
Everyone’s writing this week about the introduction of the brand new video-iPod. Hell, I’ve been excited about having a portable TV since I was about 12 years old riding the bus to school. I always imagined having a TV-watch… I was even convinced that they existed back then (but, then again, I’m always convinced that things must already exist somewhere…).
This week, the excitement of the iPod brings with it the excitement of more portable porn. The Japanese have been walking around town in public with hentai for decades, but for some reason us North Americans tend to hide our sexual fantasies.
Today, This is London published an article about the emerging market for iPorn (as I like to call it). The article discusses two web sites that have already been set up to help individuals put porn on their iPods. One of the sites simply offers step by step instructions for transferring porn to your iPod and the other site goes on to offer free video footage from a man’s point of view:
It offers three videos free, apparently to tempt people to sign up for a soon-tobelaunched subscription service.
‘Isn’t it funny how Smut Peddlers seem to be the first to develop new uses for technology?’ reads the website.
‘Well just when you thought there were enough ways to furtively enjoy pornography, a newcomer emerges.’ Offering ‘porn-to-go’, the site suggests users view the porn by holding the iPod at crotch level. ‘Combined with the portable and discrete nature of the iPod this is the best mobile porn experience ever,’ the website states.
The article also goes on to address Christian concerns, but thankfully the author uses sarcasm to brush away the ‘moral implications’. He says that Christians are concerned that the new video-iPod, and the porn sites catering to creating videos adapted for the iPod, since it may facilitate children to get their hands on porn at an early age and will allow people to walk around viewing porn in public. But, like I said earlier… the Japanese have been walking around town in public with hentai for decades…
