Telus is now offering you mobile porn:

Available on a "pay-per-download" basis, the service introduced on Jan. 8 will allow cellphone users to download pornographic photographs and videos, charging them an average of $3 to $4 for each item.

Maybe they'll make an ad of a monkey jerking off to Lily Thai. Also, what was this project called internally at Telus? Operation Beaver? *rimjob* i mean *rimshot*

What did all the fine people, working on Operation Beaver tell their parents during Christmas? "Yeah Mom, Telus is great. I'm working on this fantastic porn project right now. It's gonna blow the minds off everyone. Yeah, well our web analytics team found that 'gangbang' was being searched a lot on mobile web browsers, so I went to my boss and said 'we need to offer this ourselves to our clients'. Isn't it great?"

Telus says "there is a segment of the population that is interested in that content". Yeah, stupid fucking idiots. Telus is becoming more and more like AOL: a company for making money off dipshits. Who the fuck would pay $20/month for DRM music for your phone? Or $15/month for shitty mobile TV?

Really, if you pay $4 for a 150 x 300 picture of Jenna Jameson's meat drapes as your wallpaper, you deserve herpes.

Incase you didn't know you could look at porn on any cellphone before this came out, you just had to search for it. In 2005 reuters reported mobile phone users spent 400 million on porn for their cell phones. so grats to Telus for deciding to take a chunk of that.

For those who think that this is wrong or grotesque, wretched and demeaning...DON'T BUY IT.
Excercise your innate ability of choice and don't blame a company for providing a SERVICE, when it is not the one downloading the material for you.
Its like blaming the weather man for a crappy day.
Make your choice and voice your opinions, but don't shift blame undue towards a provider of information.

I already bought it! When I bought it, it had no porn, now it has porn. Now I want to cancel it! They want $460.00. Where's my choice here?
