“Never mind the Internet – the TV was invented for pr0n. And now Google TV users can get their fictional passion fix, too, thanks to adult film studio Vivid Entertainment,” Robin Wauters reports for TechCrunch. “The latter, always aiming to please, is today giving birth to a dedicated Google TV app (NSFW) – or channel if you will.”
“According to Vivid, it will be the first app ‘designed to make sexually explicit content available through the new Google TV set top device,'” Wauters reports. “In high-definition, no less.”
Wauters reports, “Vivid for Google TV will be available at no additional cost to subscribers to Vivid.com, which currently offers a package of features such as streaming of Vivid’s adult movies, celebrity sex tapes, educational videos and more. Access to the site is restricted to persons over 18 years old.”

MacDailyNews Take: “You know, there’s a porn store for Android to go to. Anyone can download them, your kids can. That’s not a place we want to go. We’re not going to go there.” – Steve Jobs, April 8, 2010
“Folks who want porn can buy an Android phone.” – Steve Jobs, April 15, 2010

Google just found their competitive edge.
Well, they just made Android Geek boys orgasmically jumping for joy. Now they will never leave their basement or bedrooms. lol
Excellent news. Will the real Ballmer’s left nut stand up and show himself on Google TV. I mean the hairy one. I’m clean shaven. My chin that is.
This anonymous coward FAKE ‘Ballmer’s left nut’ is a crashing zzzzzzz
To be fair, there are parental controls, so it is possible to limit certain channels for viewing.
Also, since it is American channel, it probably shows so-called “soft-porn”, where is actually nothing “explicit” — it is just word.
Wrong on all counts.
How?
if vivid is soft core porn then all the american jokes about nasty european porn are right
If Vivid offers actual porn, then good for them and for these who watch it, but I personally do not know what they show. So I used the word “probably”.
Also, there are parental controls on GoogleTV, so I can not see how I wrong “on all counts”.
Who needs a app when you have torrents?
GoogleTV will be a hit now with gamer geeks.
The next thing we will see is an Android Personal Porn Assistant.
Handsfree !
Porn was pushed VHS over BetaMax during the early vcr wars. I hope this isn’t their “Killer” app.
the whole porn was the reason VHS won was BS. i doubt that millions of parents had huge stashes of VHS porn they would hide around the house to watch when the kids went to sleep
Yeah, because only parents watch pr0n! LOL!
Is this supposed to be a bad thing? If Apple comes out with an app-capable Apple TV, I wouldn’t want them restricting the content I can view. The iPhone is one thing, a television is another thing altogether.
If you don’t want any kids to see adult content, that’s what parental controls are for. You can lock anything down tight with a good set of parental controls.
Not my thing but I’m glad no one is trying to play the ‘moral’ police and have a say in if it can be made or not.
I think there are some great advantages to Apple’s App Store but Apple controlling what can be effectively made for the platform is not one of them in my opinion,
Steve was a family man. He wants to protect all kids from this crap. Apple tv will never deal with it.
It’s not supported by Android market.
Vivid content can also be viewed on Apple TV via iOS screen mirroring.
so because SJ opposed allowing porn apps on iOS devices that means it was the right decision?
it’s their store and they can do what they want, but competent adults can make their own decisions without Apple’s help.
Oh please. SJ watched porn. Or, maybe that’s why he was so angry.
Anyway, it’s an image thing more than anything else. I mean, porn works great on my Mac.
Gives whole (or hole) new meaning to the term “open platform”.
Vivid does hard core triple XXX stuff.
Cinemax is where you go for soft core.
Google is finally innovating and making it a simple place for your kids to surf porn. I think they need to be commended on this as everyone knows its so hard to find online porn today. So to the great minds at google. Job well done. You have bested Steve Jobs at something and won the race to bring porn to a medium before Apple did. Oh wait they would not do that.
I think the former CEO might want to offer mop services as all the well run establishments have. This will prevent the sticky floors in the consumers homes. Yet another billable Google Service.
Yeah, kids didn’t have a simple place to obtain pornography before Google TV.
“Google TV gets porn channel”
Finally Google TV found a niche. 😆
Wait, you can get porn on the Internet? Since when?
their new slogan:
Cum one cum all
