Don't you think that's good news for porn membership sales? After all, ~$30 for 30 full days is a pretty damned good deal when broken down in to hours of entertainment per dollar spent.  |
Yes you are right. Nightclubs do more business, strip clubs, movies, porn...all forms of adult entertainment always kick ass during recessions. People look for escapism.
I can give you a pretty good example: I just moved to Vegas at the beginning of Oct., before that I lived in S.C.
And my band played the little crappy clubs in that area. And I got to know a lot broke ass redneck fucks. lol
Those people lived in tiny trailers and half the time were out of work. Most of 'em had a couple of kids and they drove cars that were held together by the rust holding hands.
Yet somehow, someway...they ALWAYS had a bag of pot, a refrigerator full of beer, a carton of smokes, and would be out drinking at clubs.
So even when people have hard times, they will still find a way to do the things that make life worth living to them. The little things that they enjoy.
