Porn stars and CES

Unlike some of our partners in crime, I didn't make it to
the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this year, though had I know that the Adult Entertainment Expo was also
taking place in Las Vegas that week, I might have given more consideration to going. Gareth Mitchell of the BBC has a
funny anecdote about how he became trapped in a bar at
CES by a cavalcade of porn stars as they sashayed down the red carpet. Mitchell wisely points out that a lot of
electronic innovations in the audio/visual realm have been propelled by the adult film industry. Indeed, it was porn
that caused VHS to catch on and Beta to eventually fizzle out. If nothing else, perhaps seeing those intrepid stars of
all things naked and penetrable reminded the vendors at CES of that fact.TV Squad Hot Topics
