Porn company dupes advertisers, gets caught

A pro-family organization is responsible for dismantling what it calls a pornography scam involving major advertisers.

WorldNetDaily reports Florida Family Association founder David Caton discovered that major American companies were giving their advertising dollars to support the porn industry, and most of them were unaware of it. A pornography company based in Belgium, says the report, "slipped onto the vendors' site lists with non-entertainment, scientific descriptions that masked their true content."

"We learned that an international pornography company is attempting to move the industry from a subscriber-based type of user service to an advertiser-based service," Caton explains.

The switch in advertising strategy allowed the pornographer to offer the inappropriate content free-of-charge because of advertising support, so even children could access it through generally safe websites. Caton contends the operation was a blatant deception.

"The Internet sites that they had had applied for various advertising network buys," he points out. "They got their description changed so that the people who were buying the big mainstream companies did not know the content of these particular websites."

Once Florida Family Association notified the companies -- including Allstate, Bank of America, and JC Penney -- the advertisers cancelled their ads and are taking steps to prevent promoting porn in the future.
