Mobile porn... anytime, anywhere!

Do you know a person who is urged of watching pornography often throughout the day? A large cellphone company in Canada has found the solution for them!
Telus, one of the largest mobile phone services providers in Canada, decided that porn is appropriate to watch whenever you want it, and wherever you are. Why waiting to get to the privacy of your house to see porn stuff, if you can watch it in your own cellphone?
Yes, that's true. Thanks to the sick mentality of the marketing guys at Telus, access to porn material is available to people on the streets, 24/7. The mechanism is very simple: the customer requests the video or photo, and pays about $3.00 or $4.00 Canadian dollars for it. It can't get any easier.
Is this a good market? Some estimations expect that the wireless pornography distribution will grow to more than $14 billion between this year and 2011. Of course, such growth can only be possible with the cooperation of individuals who actually buy such material, whose morality would be questionable to the eyes of the vast majority of people with high social values.
But Telus is a company fully aware of the importance of family values, so they arranged that, in order to be able to purchase porn through the phone, the user should pass an age verification and a credit card number. Also, parents can block the material in their children's phones.
Why would the children need to purchase pornography through their own cellphones, if they can see it in anybody else's? The idea of this industry is to bring pornography everywhere you want it, so you or your children could be enjoying the show displayed on some other person's LCD cellphone screen anywhere: The bus stop, the food court, the supermarket, the library... virtually everywhere. It's as easy as finding some pervert who enjoys watching porno videos and movies in public places, who has a credit card and owns a Telus phone.
Obviously, the reactions couldn't wait for long. For instance, the Roman Catholic community of Vancouver (city where Telus has its main headquarters), led by Archbishop Raymond Roussin, complained bitterly about Telus' new business. This priest is also planning to terminate all contracts in which Telus provides services to Catholic institutions. Other customers have threatened to end their contracts with such company. But Telus sees this as a normal reaction. Jim Johannsson, Telus' spokesman, boasts about the situation, saying that only a 'small fraction' of customers will switch from Telus as a retaliating measure.
In my own point of view, no matter how Telus tries to justify this move, it's just against all kind of moral values. But still, this is not a new industry; we cannot forget that in Europe this market is much more developed than here in North America - which doesn't make it any better.
Will Telus be successful in this new adventure? We don't know. It's early to tell. But if you live in Canada, don't be surprised to unwillingly watch porn sometime, in the most inappropriate moments... and don't forget to thank Telus when that happens!
