NEW YORK, July 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- An unforeseen and surprising
beneficiary of the Economic Stimulus Plan, a plan that George Bush contends
will "boost our economy and encourage job creation," has surfaced this week.
An independent market-research firm, AIMRCo (Adult Internet Market Research
Company), has discovered that many websites focused on adult or erotic
material have experienced an upswing in sales in the recent weeks since checks
have appeared in millions of Americans' mailboxes across the country.
According to Kirk Mishkin, Head Research Consultant for AIMRCo, "Many of
the sites we surveyed have reported 20-30% growth in membership rates since
mid-May when the checks were first sent out, and typically the summer is a
slow period for this market."
Jillian Fox, spokeswoman for LSGmodels.com, one of the sites reporting
figures to AIMRCo, added, "In a June 15, 2008 survey to our members, thirty
two percent of respondents referenced the recent stimulus package as part of
their decision to either become a new member, or renew an existing
membership."
The economic stimulus plan, which includes a check for up to $600 for
individuals and $1200 for married couples (among other benefits), is the
product of an agreement between House leaders and the Bush Administration,
focused on reviving a struggling economy in the wake of a flagging economy.
Fox also added, "Getting more people to buy porn was probably the last
thing Bush had on his mind when he came up with his 'stimulus package,' but
we'll take it."
