YouTube To Porn Industry: You’re Not Welcome Here, Clothed Or Otherwise
*** This page is safe for viewing at work, but following any links on it will likely result in a truck load of boobies splashing across your monitor. ***
A few days back I was catching up on my web surfing when I stopped by the xFanz MySpace page. I wanted to see if they had posted any new videos to YouTube from the 2007 AEE (Adult Entertainment Expo) that went down between January 11th and 13th in Vegas. Well, when clicking on any of the YouTube vids on that page I got the “This video is no longer available” message.
At this point you might be thinking: “No shit Sherlock, of course YouTube deleted a bunch of obscene videos uploaded by some porn site. What did you expect?”
There’s a couple of problems with that train of thought though…
1. xFanz isn’t really a porn site. It’s a mix of adult entertainment news, social networking, porn movie reviews, and blogs. It’s a far cry from being safe for work, but in-your-face-boobage isn’t their thing. More info about them can be found in the xFanz Wikipedia article.
2. The videos they produce are anything but obscene. Thus far, they’ve all been little clips from conventions, interviews, behind the scenes on sets, etc. And, any of them that happen to have boobies in them don’t get posted to their YouTube channel.
Already knowing the above I was left thinking…
