Best November Sweeps Ever, Part 4
At least the venerable CBS newsmagazine "60 Minutes," class act that it is, remains immune to the ratings wars, yes?
(I comedically clear my throat here.)
From a press release:
You won't read phrases like "adult entertainment" in their annual reports, but American companies like General Motors and the Marriott Corporation have been profiting from the distribution of pornography to a hungry American public that snaps it up to the tune of $10 billion a year. This and other surprising facts are revealed in a double-length segment on the pornography industry reported by Steve Kroft on 60 MINUTES Sunday, Nov. 23.
Yup, "60 Minutes" Gone Wild!
A double-length segment, no less, on the porn biz! And revealing something we already knew: Yup, DirecTV (owned by GM, although soon by News Corp.) probably mints a fortune off its adult offerings. As do hotels with in-room entertainment like Marriott.
Gotta admit, though, that this number astounds me: According to the "60 Minutes" report, porn is viewed by 40 percent of hotel guests. That's a hefty number. Take out family vacations (except for a handful of kinda weird families), and that means you've got a lot of business travelers watching a lot of porn on the road.
