Well today google has unleased their check out software for making selling products much easier. Think paypal but a bit differnt. We all know at one time paypal used to talk adult transations and always wondered what google would do in this case, well I got an official reply from google team about selling adult content/memberships etc.

gotta keep shareholders happy, and the last thing investors want to hear is that their brand new product is marred with the "stigma" of adult from the bat. can see the headlines now, NY Post "Google makes buying Porn Easier - Do No Evil?"

That's a pretty well worded reply on Google's part, props to the copywriter.

yeh i like whoever wrote that, instead of sticking your noses up at adult and telling us to fuck of, they have put it nicely and you begin to understand.

pornguy · 06-29-2006, 06:52 PM

Maybe if they get more requests they will work something out.
