An armchair economist with day-glo orange penis

Indeed the internet is a vividly wild and delirious wilderness rife with voices crying out for a sympathetic ear. Most often all they can handle is a pathetic ear, but hope and delusion springs eternal. Speaking of which, I ran across a singularly insipid tantrum from some sot with a twenty-hour-a-day porn habit and delusions of business acumen.

You can get the full bouquet of his ideological vomit here.

Some heavily edited excepts follow for those unwilling to hold their nose that long.

Problem: The first thing I mentioned was for websites that are feeling the pinch to lower their prices especially in the down economy. Webmasters everywhere are claiming that slow sales is hurting them and that some are even going out of business. <> They fail to realize that their customers today are not as stupid as they once were.
Solution: Quit screwing over your customers. Be straight with them. At least attempt to update information instead of insulting them. How long has Tawney Stone been 19? Umm, since the site started years ago? We are all happy to make money. But seriously, if you don’t provide any updated content, do you honestly expect to retain those customers after they have seen virtually everything on the site? Those webmasters with skills, help out the newbies so that they can do things the right way. Offer your services for free….yeah…I said it, for free. Not all of the time but pro-bono work sometimes has a way of finding more work coming back your way. You never know who will have huge success and one day, you might need a favor as well.

1. There's only so far you can cut costs before it becomes nonviable. Porn is not pure profit.
2. Very true, customers are not as stupid as they once were. In many cases that level of mental deficiency would be an improvement. (And before someone goes all high and mighty on me, I am not talking of individuals; I'm talking of the whole. Kiddies, that bell-curve is rolling to the left a bit more every day.)
3. Why assume they are looking to retain customers? The internet is infinitely mutable which makes it quite cost effective to jump from one project to another. Old sites will still attract paying customers where it's still new. Old customers will have long since looked for the next best thing.
4. Are you fucking kidding? He not only thinks they should drop their prices because he wants to stretch his allowance a little further, but wants the highly skilled webmasters to donate their time? Obviously this twerp has not the first clue as to how many hours a good webmaster has to put into a project. And to do so in the shiny hopes that it will be remembered or appreciated when it's time to allocate funds later leads to weekend benders of rotgut and self-hangings using their own belt.
5. And good-luck attempting to appeal to their long-term thinking after you've just said they are money-grubbing thieves interested only in the immediate. Way to go sport.

Oh this one is especially juicy.

Problem: Let’s get one thing straight. You have sex for money. Pure and simple. While I would agree this is an art form, it what it is. The only difference between a porn star and an escort is there is a camera involved.
Solution: <> Give something back to those who pay your bills and I am not talking about the director or producer. They get laid enough. You want to make a difference, try laying one of your fans. <> Do a free shoot once in a while for newbies in the business.

1. Of course they're having sex for money; it's how they're intending to make a living. Used condoms and half-full bottles of lube are not generally accepted in exchange for goods and services.
2. Insinuating they are prostitutes with inflated attitudes makes me think he's got a private agenda.
3. By the way, several porn performers past and present have indeed allowed fans a chance to have sex with them. The caveat here is that the fans had to pony up the cash for the encounter. Methinks he's aiming for more pro bono work.
4. The performer's body is their livelihood. They fuck anyone on camera for free when that footage is going to be distributed for profit and they've destroyed their worth in the industry. The blow to their personal finances would be catastrophic.

If there is any justice in the universe, his parents will evict him from squatting in his own squalid filth in their basement and the sun will shrivel him like a slug deposited on a salt lick. In any case, the cheezy-poof poisoning has permeated his nerve bundle.
