Adelphia Gets Freaky

Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

Apparently Adelphia cable wants us to love ourselves. Intimately. Starting Friday, Adelphia of Southern California (and most of its cable providers around the nation) will make triple X pay-per-view channel Spice Platinum available to its subscribers. This makes them the first major cable operator in the US to offer hardcore action.

If you don't live in porn valley like we do maybe you don't know what "triple x hardcore action" is. Well, friends and neighbors, that includes anal sex and visible ejaculation according to the Los Angeles Times.

Spice Platinum is owned by Playboy, a company that broke new ground earlier this week by releasing itsPlayboy: The Mansion video game which is, you guessed it, for adults only. Not content to merely dominate the mail order, dvd, and internet markets, porn is ready for you now with just the click of a remote or the pressing of a start button on a controller.

Yay.

Too bad we live west of Sepulveda Boulevard in the valley where we can only get double x action through Time Warner Cable.
