I think there are a lot of ways...but I'm not gonna really go into my ideas for on the cheap branding because they could easily get used before I can and kill my little plans but if that much was needed just for start up coffers - most net based companies today wouldn't be here.

I'm not gonna tip my hand about the specifics of things I'm working on but I'd have no problem and would probably enjoy kicking around ideas in a general fasion with you.

My main interest is non-adult as well with this

I love this scenario.

Place bet on horse race/dog race/sporting event.

Receive reminder on cell phone and option to stream race or event onto your cell phone .

Frankly adult bores me to tears these days.

SMS is gonna rock in the near future.

The problem is, there are a lot of do gooders who would create boycotts, start phone banks and other techiniques to force channels not to accept "porn" commercials.

I think the commercial was fine for prime time TV but I am hardly the normal consumer.

Another thing to think about is buying spots of TV. From what I understand when Girls Gone Wild first ran commercials they had to guaruntee so many spots and prepay. ( I think ti was up to $1 million in cash). So it takes some bank to get this going.

I remember Paolo from tripleX was trying to do something similiar for his campusfuckparty website ( or whatever the site was). I saw the commercials, they were very close to the GGW ones, and I think they would have sold well.

Not sure whatever happened with it. He might be a person to talk with.

per el davidarino:
"You'll see it on MTV, MTV2, USA, Comedy Central, E, and much more."

I'm mainly interested in doing this with non-adult shit...tho it may be edgy per se, it won't be porn so do gooders aren't really relevant.

Finally some cool info being tossed around here tho.
