What do CBS and the Broadway musical Avenue Q have in common? They both know that the Internet is for porn.
The musical knew it back when it opened in 2003 (the show contains a song called “The Internet Is for Porn”). CBS discovered it only recently.
In an attempt get in on the trend toward citizen journalism, CBS encouraged the public to upload visuals to its grassroots news site CBSeyemobil.com. Upload they did. Taking photojournalism to a whole new level, many of the site’s “reporters” added images of a sexual nature.
"We've been posting user-generated content since April, and this is the first known incident along these lines," a CBS spokesperson told Ad Age. "It was removed promptly and we will redouble our efforts in this regard."
