Another Reason To Pay For Porn Channels
ContoTV is a popular Italian hard core porn channel. Fiorentina is one of Serie A’s most storied soccer clubs. Later this month the fate of the two will become intertwined.
A milestone was reached last week in Italy when ContoTV, a hardcore porn channel, outbid other broadcasters to secure the rights to show Fiorentina’s UEFA Cup first-round tie against Groningen on September 20.
Just a publicity stunt? Probably, although ContoTV executives describe it as an attempt to offer their viewers “something different.”
This is great news for all Italian men. Think about it. All their wives now know that an important soccer game is being broadcast on a porn channel. That means for the rest of their lives anytime their wives find charges for a porno channel on a cable bill the men can claim it was just for a soccer game. For all of eternity Italian men now have a legitimate cover for ordering as much porn as they want, whenever they want.

I’ve always thought a surefire way to turn Americans (or at least American men) onto soccer would be to hire porn actresses to do the play-by-play. The idea is to have them go into character and sound increasingly aroused as one team or the other comes closer to the goal, then basically fake orgasm when someone scores (which, come to think of it, is how a lot of male soccer announcers sound when calling a goal).
The folks at ContoTV must have read my (decidedly dirty) mind.
