Invest In Porn!

While reading the recent issue of Business 2.0, I came across an interesting article on investing in the Porn Industry. Apparently there's this company called Adultvest that puts investors and porn industry businesses/people together. Kind of like Prosper !!!

I decided to check it out. Its a very fancy website [after all, porn sites are cutting edge in terms of web technology] and it lets you sign up depending on whether you're an investor or you need funding for your Adult entertainment business.

I signed up as an investor, and they promised to send me investment opportunites.
Lets see what I get. I'll post when I get something.

Only accredited investors are allowed to sign up but that easily achieved. Just say yes to the questions on whether you're accredited and suddenly you are!!!!!

Check it out. The site is totally Safe For Work. There's no adult content on it.

Anway, I got a kick out of their ad banners.

Here are some of my favorites!

Check out the bull's shadow.



The porn industry makes a ton of money. I used to work for a company that was bought by Akamai Technologies. We used to provide content distribution for porn companies[and also CNN and Yahoo]. We had a saying, "Porn built the Internet". They make a ton of money!



An explanation of how it works. I think its a neat concept.



And my favorite...this one cuts straight to the chase!!!



What do you guys think of investing in porn? I personally don't care. It called diversification!! ;-)

Maybe it'll even become mainstream some day. "Oil and gas investments aren't exciting enough for you? You need some excitement in your portfolio - invest in the Adult Entertainment industry!!!"

Not to mention its yet another way to deduct your adult entertainment subscriptions on your taxes! It really will qualify as research.
