Not sure how this one slipped by me for 2 months…

My head would have exploded for sure.
as long as I live, I will not understand how Robbie Williams can sell out Wembly Stadium

Because he's the greatest f'in entertainer on the planet.

As long as I live, I will not understand how Americans don't see that.
I am sure Karl Wallinger appreciates him but I don’t get it either…is he still popular?
All free speech issues aside, this poses quite the dilemma for Smackie - Look, if AZ wants to pay for it's portion of the wall this way, who am I to get in the way?  At least I'm not paying for it….

AZ Lawmaker Wants to Tax Porn Users to Pay for the Border Wall
The phrase "Porn Users" kind of weirds me out.

I don't write the headlines, I just share them.

Though, I nearly went with the Gizmodo headline when I shared for that reason (it was the Giz that got me to the AZ Mirror….)
never going to happen
what I don't understand is ….who pays for porn…is that a thing?

well true and as I typed that thought ran through my mind

I do go to see lots of live music and buy their merch
I don't go to see The Empire Strips Back
Now I don’t know how porn works mind you… too busy getting the real thing but don’t they usually show you clips and for the good stuff ask you to pay?

It’s like a cock tease…
Hey Smackie, have you ever seen this?

I pay $7.99 a month for a Google Play Music subscription.

Why am I afraid to click this given the topic?  I might save that until I get home…

It's $100 billion industry, so somebody is.  Not me though…

I 100% believe it, but that still shocks me a little based on what's available
I I'm sure there are fans of certain 'artists' that people are willing to pay for
seems like a small audience

this article mentions that

(I always go to businesinsider for porn tips ;) )

also one other revenue stream I forgot about….but not 100 Bil
Last but not the least are the major hotel chains like Marriott, Hilton and Westin to name a few. These bring serious money to the industry without ever a mention of the same in their official reports. Adult titles are available across the world as ‘in-room entertainment’ in most countries around the globe.

i don't get this reddit - it mocks folks for claiming to be sexually active, when they are not?  so they're laughing at the boasts?  i could see potential if they actually roast the false claimer, but the comments are lame… am i missing something?  (predictable response: "a sense of humor" ;D )
