Last night, I dreamt that dumbfuck, aka Jensen Ackles was in some movie about Vikings. I think it was a romantic comedy. My subconscious made a note that this must have been one of those before-they-were-famous-a-guy's-gotta-eat type things. I even saw the poster. ::shudder::

On a completely unrelated note, my brain works like this: I think about Netflix. Netflix sends you movies through the mail and, often, you might not remember what they are. What if they were porn? Hey, does Netflix rent porn movies? Can they? I mean, could they be sure the renter is 18 or older? I guess so, since you need a credit card. But my sister is 17 and she used my mom's for her account. Maybe they ask you your age on the account info and won't rent porn to people who aren't 18. I wonder if there's just a porn version of Netfllix? Probably.

This has been a frightening, if brief, trip through TV's head. Enjoy.

Friends and I have pondered the NetFlix Porn thing before, and figured somebody must be doing that--if not it's a gold mine waiting to be tapped.

I was just going to say... if PornFlix doesn't exist yet, someone's missing out on piles and piles of cash.

Hmmm. I am, in fact, lacking piles and piles of cash. *ponders*

[gryphonrose.livejournal.com]

Me too! Let's start it! I can do the graphics, the copy, and maybe some of the HTML coding!

[viridian.livejournal.com]

I can uh... uhm... yeah, I dunno any porn suppliers. FAIL.

[gryphonrose.livejournal.com]

That's okay--somebody's got to buy the DVDs.
;)

I hate to burst your bubble, but a Google search of the phrase "netflix porn" turned up three "rent porn DVDs by mail" services in the sponsored links:
www.sugardvd.com
www.wantedlist.com
www.DVDXcitement.com

[gryphonrose.livejournal.com]

Yes, but none are WetFlix! Which is the name my friends and I came up with. It's perfect!
:)

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

This entire thread of speculative business-ing was fabulous. Thanks guys.

[gryphonrose.livejournal.com]

Happy to oblige. Now find me some angel investors! :)

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

This could work, call me crazy. Maybe you just have to pitch it to Netflix. Using their infrastructure, your overhead would be low, and they'd take a chunk of profits, but you'd assume less expenses upfront.

[gryphonrose.livejournal.com]

Hm, only thing is, they might not want to be associated with it because of the family-business image. Now, that doesn't mean it couldn't work on the sly--get them to back it, use their structure and systems, change the graphic look enough to be a separate entity, etc. Know anyone at NetFlix who might be willing to talk about this possibility?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Heh, alas no. I thought about how they might not want to associate themselves with this, too. All it takes is the wrong person getting a copy of Edward Penishands, and they're in trouble.

But, still! They're an evil corporation, right? They should want a piece of that sweet, sweet porn-money pie!

[gryphonrose.livejournal.com]

Who doesn't, really?
Cue horrible double entendres here.
:)

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

We're talking about marketing porn, here. I don't think we need to even use double entendres. I'm pretty sure we can just "COCK, WE HAVE IT," and get customers.

[gryphonrose.livejournal.com]

Oh, I meant double entendres here--lots of remarks about "sweet pie" and so forth. :)

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Ha! Didn't even think about that. Ah, yes, everything is so loaded when you talk about porn. Like that sentence, for instance.

[gryphonrose.livejournal.com]

At least it makes coming up with a good tagline easy. :)

Since one can review what is in there queue and what's been mailed to them on netflix, wouldn't that mean that the kid would risk his/her parents knowing they rented porn and raising a stink (assuming of course that the kid doesn't have a credit card of their vary own that their parents doesn't know about and that they can get to the mail before their parents on a consistent basis).

For the average teen I think there are far easier ways to get their hands on porn to be perfectly honest.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Easier, perhaps, but the advantage of mail-order DVDs is that, with an outfit like Netflix, there is no assumption of the content contained within. Whereas there are a hundred ways you can accidentally out yourself on a computer with downloads or get viruses etc. Porn-by-mail seems a safe way to be anonymous.

[newredshoes]

I would so pay to see that movie.

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Well, seeing as the poster seemed to feature you-know-who having his head between the legs of a rather bustacular Viking maiden, erm, I'll pass thanks (it looked like softcore comedy/porn).

[ivy03.livejournal.com]

You dreamt about Jensen Ackles. *snerk*

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, in fact, I think I dreamt about him twice last night. The first involved some insanity at work, but I can't remember it in detail. The second was more explicitly about him. Yeah.

[ivy03.livejournal.com]

"Explicit," huh?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Oh for the love of...no!

Well, er, it did seem to be a dumb-blonde dirty-humor possibly-soft core (in the way that, American Pie is) flick. I think the Viking maiden was Jenny McCarthy.

[montisello.livejournal.com]

Why is Jensen Ackles a dumbfuck? He's so pretty -- doesn't that negate any dumbfuckery he may exhibit?

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

Ah, sorry, it's not meant to offend, really. It's just that the roommate, feiran coined the boys of Supernatural to be Dumbfuck and Fugly. Now, it goes without saying that the behemoth with the bad leftover 90s haircut is Fugly (aka Sam). But she couldn't rightly slight the looks of the other one, so she attacked his oft-questionable intelligence. Thus was Dumbfuck born (aka Dean). I just use it interchangeably for the actor as well. And you're quite right, he is rather pretty.

[montisello.livejournal.com]

Hehehe...

I'm not offended, I'm just used to the daily paeans to those two from my flist that it grabbed my attention

Fugly and Dumbfuck. Oh, lord, its wrong how I can totally see that. I hope I don't get kicked out of the Sam and Dean Rule the World church for my unbelief...

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

How can they toss you out of a church for telling the truth? Oh, wait...

[ivy03.livejournal.com]

he is rather pretty
AHAHAHA!!! I WIN!!!!

[trinityvixen.livejournal.com]

I never said he wasn't!
