Furthermore, because of the refined sensibilities of those who buy porn, the use of condoms is discouraged.  As a result, AIDS is now a major health problem for this &#8220;industry&#8221;.<br \/>\nSome of the nation&#8217;s largest entertainment conglomerates and hotels are purveyors of porn, including Rupert Murdoch, whose company owns the politically conservative Fox News; Time Warner; Comcast; and the Marriott.<br \/>\nThe Omni hotels, much to their honor, have refused to offer porn to their guests, a decision which they estimate costs them $1 million in lost annual revenues.<br \/>\nAfter listening to this program, I have a suggestion for the producers of porn films.  Since money is your only object, why don&#8217;t you put yourselves in front of the camera, firing squad style, and supply your starlets with semi-automatics?<br \/>\nFor a CD or DVD showing you being sent to the Hell you deserve, I&#8217;d gladly pay, oh, $250.
