Nudity On The Web Not Easy Enough, Says Mark Cuban

Mark Cuban, the Internet billionaire and potential Chicago Cubs owner, has spent much of the last few years taunting Internet video providers, particularly YouTube, via his blog: He figures they can't pay their bandwidth bills, can't sell ads, have huge copyright problems, etc. His newest complaint: Not enough naked people.

Its possible to find PG 13 type videos,but its really difficult to find R rated videos. Sure there are Playboy or Mr SKin type sites that will titillate us, and there are the sites where college kids go wild, but thats not what Im referring to. Where are the internet videos that cover grown up subject matters, where nudity "that contributes to the subject matter" isn't considered gratuitous or pornographic ?

Onyl American freak about nakedness. As if Wealth covered your hairless body better.

[NightflyLester]

Crap, there goes any hope for him to be the new owner of the Chicago Cubs...

[rbspickles]

Can't he just get naked and stand in front of a mirror?

[Tommygun264]

DANGER! DANGER! That man is discussing mature subject manner in a logical, intelligent fashion. He is dangerous!!! Is it just a coincidence that he is perhaps the only billionaire I think I could handle seeing nude without wanting to gouge my eyes out?

To paraphrase Bogart, "So many naked bodies, so few brains."

Is anybody shopping remakes of German films made from the end of WW I till 1933? The ardent amateurs have the market. There are artful, amateur videographers, producers, directors & models who are in it for the love of being creative. They can & do exceed what passes for the cinema in 2008. The technology has been mastered by the amateurs & bollywood. A producer & director can turn a script into art if it pleases them. If the SAG decides to strike, it might induce the amateurs to show us what they can do with suitable scripts & 'unknown' actors. There may be artists who will do musicals, film noir, drama & anything else Hollywood & Europe did since the cimema became art. Who knows what the craft unions will do when the amateurs take over the art of the cinema?
Money is getting tight. The amateurs can be counted on to create cinema of all sorts on less than a shoe string.
A guy like Mark Cuban can have a lot of fun teasing & bettering the efforts of traditional money people. Since Mr Cuban knows how to make money & really loves making money, he could make his mark on the cinema. (pun intended). Others will join Mr Cuban in similar enterprises.

Americans can't handle adult discussions of sexuality. If they could, groups such as the American Family Association and the Media Research Center wouldn't exist. That's because those groups like their sex the old fashioned way: dirty, dirty dirty!

Oh, and from whores.

[KillTheMessenger]

I agree. There is not enough adult material on the internet. I am especially missing fact based political discussion and science backed public discourse.

You've been on the right wing pages too much!

Please take all of Mark Cuban's toys away from him and put him on the internet, nude. Then warn me, so I can avoid the pictures.

[situationcritical]

I don't know, the times when Cuban's trimmed down a bit, he looks kinda hot.
