Quickie: Is Free Porn Killing Off The Industry?

Playboy is reducing it's frequency in publishing, and throwing tamer parties. Gay titles such as Mandate Playguy, Torso, Honcho, and Inches have gone off to the great porny heaven in the sky. Turns out getting naked for pay isn't as lucrative as it once was (unless you are in Bible college), and just as it goes in the rest of the media, it's because the "Democratic" web has allowed us access to too much free content that we'll no longer consider paying for it. Even celebrities can't make money off their cleavage anymore; not when any anon tipster with a camera can spread your boobs around faster than any porn producer could have on his casting couch. And that's just sad.

Seth Rogen Dipped His Toes in the Sea of Porn, Decided to Go For a Swim

Seth Rogen must have had a little too much fun making Zack and Miri Make a Porno (which we haven't seen but our mom just loved), because he's now trying to develop a "porno-based" comedy for Showtime.

Rogen and production partner Evan Goldberg are developing a comedy series for the pay cabler about three twentysomethings who learn about life and love while running a pornography shop.

Rogen and Goldberg will exec produce the as-yet untitled project.

Matthew Bass, who is credited as an assistant to both comedy filmmakers on "Pineapple Express" and "Superbad," will pen the script and co-exec produce.

Wow, what a departure from everything else Seth Rogen has done!

But really, who are we kidding trying to make fun of this guy? We'd do him in a second....
