<<Wednesday April 11 9:58 AM ET Yahoo Gets Into the Porn Business SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) - Internet company Yahoo! Inc. has begun selling pornographic videos online, company officials have confirmed. Yahoo!, whose Web pages are viewed by about 185 million people a month, has opened an online store selling thousands of hard-core video tapes and DVDs. The company earns a share of the sales. Yahoo! officials declined to talk to the Los Angeles Times about the pornography sales. In a written statement Tuesday, they said that ``under stringent control, adult products have been available through Yahoo! Shopping for more than two years.'' The company has expanded efforts to block underage shoppers, requiring buyers to register an e-mail address and enter a credit card number. The card is checked to verify shoppers' ages. Analysts told the Times that the sale of porn may alienate companies that advertise with the company. Yahoo! is expected to report its second consecutive quarterly loss today. Other major Internet companies, including America Online and the Microsoft Network, have stayed away from pornography sales.>>

The LIZ brought back old memories of the heady days when I had free shares and a locked-in profit. In the last year, though, I have put that-and-more back up on the points, and am counting on Oheri and Vogt not to roll the seven for quite some time. Crap-outs seemed to have been characteristic of his predecessor, who may have been throwing the bones with his eyes tightly shut (Or while staring at the cocktail waitress-but probably not keeping an eye on our money). Thus WINR is still, to this day, in a sector where one expects to find companies that try to build empires running back-country stills, shaving piston heads for amateur funny-car racers, or packing shotgun shells for militia groups (The Russell Bubba&Stinky 1500?) We may find, as the information comes forward, that WINR has been left further behind the curve than any of us thought within the capacity of even a Bubba&Stinky-index CEO. But companies in this low-rent part of the market usually survive only until their founder and visionary surpasses his limit. Then the shareholders are-as often as not-left wondering if their company ever existed in the first place. In WINR’s case, there seems to have been a board that was willing to step in and run off the visionary-du-jour before his vision resolved into a Koop-De-Grass for the rest of us. The interesting part is that the new guys didn’t decide to just bury the patient. Instead they signed on for the mountain-moving task of at least bringing us back. I never could resist entrepreneurs with that much fire in their bellies. While I may be taking down the first few points that pop on the early rolls, we may yet see that streak that will get us comp R,F & B. Have a nice Easter, everyone, and keep a good thought…
