Telecom gets into big Porn

Can you imagine how pissed Ms T. Gattung must have been when one of her minions knocked politely on her door to say that they were about to spend untold millions on buying a giant pornography portal: www.ferrit.com ? Hmmm. Best practise is usually to clear up such matters before launching a new multi-million dollar on-line business. You know, checking your chosen brand name isn't shared with a US-based purveyor of XXX goodies called Pornville, based in Texas.

Anyway, somebody didn't, so they had to cough up a lot of cash. Or maybe it's just a publicity stunt to buy column inches for the faltering start-up. Whatever, this was reported on page 3 of Friday's NBR, who usually check their facts quite well before going to print.

Also in the current NBR, in their lovely, bitchy Private Bin, Ferrit gets a bit of a kicking for its advertising campaign. Worth a read.
