fluorescent tanned geeks....:>

It wasn't too long ago when porn executives faced many recruiting
challenges. One of the biggest, they say, had been matching promises of
stock-option bonanzas and early retirement by Internet firms.
But that was more than a year ago, before the NASDAQ tanked and dot-coms
collapsed. The fallout has been a boon for adult entertainment, Vivid
Entertainment Group President Bill Asher said.
"At least I know my paycheck isn't going to bounce," said Jon, 25, who
asked that his last name be withheld. Jon told the Times that he jumped
to
take a Web designer job at Vivid after he was laid off last winter from
Los
Angeles music start-up ArtistDirect Inc.
The company, which makes up to six adult videos a month and recently
expanded its online team, says that 35 percent of its technical staff
hail
from the dot-com world.
Jon now spends eight hours a day digitally covering up female nipples
for
the company's front-page, which entices visitors to pay for the full
peep
show. "My mom would kill me if she knew," he said.
