In the money: Who wins when President Bush doles out $168 billion to stimulate the American economy? Pornographers, it turns out. AIMRCo, a market research company focused on the adult online industry, says many porn websites have aroused interest from new customers since the checks first went out in mid-May. Some sites have experienced a 20-30 per cent growth in membership rates. A spokeswoman for one site said they polled new customers and found one-third were using Bush bucks to buy smut. “Getting more people to buy porn was probably the last thing Bush had on his mind when he came up with his ‘stimulus package,’ but we’ll take it.”

Gordon, a convicted felon whose made a fortune by facilitating online credit card transactions. He was one of the main reason why much of the online world saw Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee in flagrante delicto –– or at least why it was able to pay for that timeless piece of love and carnality by credit card.
