Amusing that she has such little comprehension of online that she thought you could just 'stop' a viral video. Also amusing that she made my MD make me recut it with "adult entertainment, the way it should be done" and then try and 're-viral' it.
They spend SO much money on pointless middle management and don't 'get' how the internet works. And they don't want to be seen as a porn company, when they are a porn company.

Damian look at the other side of the coin.
Do you think they didn't want their name associated with a video anyone with a camera could make?
Do you think that going into the bottom of the market quality wise would harm their brand?
Do you think after 15 years of the Internet the people who run these top quality sites and brands DON'T know how the Internet works?
Do you think that they see their traditional markets STILL as the best place to sell THEIR product?
Maybe they just don't want to be seen as a porn company that makes content anyone with a camera can produce?
This POV needs a thread of it's own. Who will read it from the other persons POV?
