CWA Says Columbia House Should Blush Over 'Hush' Porn Promotion

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 /Christian Wire Service/ -- The New York Post reports today that “Columbia House, famous for its ‘12 CDs for a penny’ record clubs, will launch its own adult video club with Playboy Entertainment at the end of this month. The service, called ‘Hush,’ will sell pornography through direct mail and a Web site.”

“Here’s another white collar company willing to soil itself by trafficking in pornography,” said Jan LaRue, Concerned Women for America’s chief counsel. “The execs at Columbia House need to understand that if they knowingly distribute obscene porn through their ‘Hush’ subsidiary, the company and the execs responsible are subject to federal prosecution and asset forfeiture.”

According to the Post, “Among the recipients of Hush marketing dollars … will be Howard Stern, with Hush sponsoring contests on Stern's syndicated radio show. Hush will also be promoted through direct mail and through ads in adult magazines.”

“As usual, when mainstream companies decide to sacrifice corporate responsibility and image to chase porn profits they claim it will be ‘tasteful’ material. What taste-o-meter are they using that qualifies Howard Stern for promotion?” LaRue added.

“We were pleased to hear Alberto Gonzales say at his confirmation hearing that if he becomes attorney general, obscenity enforcement will be one of the things that he focuses on,” LaRue concluded.

furthermore
if that rightwing hag was REALLY concerned about obscenity, she'd be asking the Catholic church why they think it's ok for priests to fuck little boys and then get transferred....

Here is the original New York Post version (for those that were offended)

http://www.nypost.com/business/38078.htm

Columbia House, famous for its "12 CDs for a penny" record clubs, will launch its own adult video club with Playboy Entertainment at the end of this month. The service, called Hush, will sell pornography through direct mail and a Web site.

While 50-year-old Columbia House is eager to cash in on the $12 billion porn business, officials are pretty hush hush about Hush.

"This will be a separate subsidiary," said Jim Litwak, senior vice president of marketing at Columbia House. "It will be completely separate from Columbia House, and will not be marketed to current members. We are not using Columbia House at all, and are not talking to existing members; this is a separate business and deal."

Columbia House, the nation's largest direct distributor of DVDs and home video, will handle distribution, while Playboy, which has an adult direct-mail list "in the millions," according to Litwak, will handle marketing.

Litwak added that his company estimates that total adult video sell-through and rentals total $5 billion a year.

At the Luxor ... any time you turn on the TV it went to a "splash screen" that had a little window in it for movie previews. It always started "at the beginning" and the first "movie" preview was always for their adult entertainment channel.

When you pressed the menu button, up came 1. Hollywood Movies 2. Adult XXX movies, followed by Rent a Game, Internet Email, Room Account, etc. The default selection was always set at "2".

You just gotta love it.
