Kink.com Lays Off 15% 11% of its Staff

kink.com lays of 15 percent.jpg

You might want to sit down for this one. Because when online porn companies start reducing its staff due to the economic downturn, you know times are tough. Local porn superpower Kink.com laid off 15% 11% of its staff yesterday. Founder Peter Acworth confirmed this today. Kink.com is headquartered at the San Francisco Armory, a "200,000 square foot 1914 reproduction of a Moorish Castle that served as a National Guard Armory and Arsenal until the 1970s." Is bad organizing, with Acworth at top and not much structure after, to blame? Alas. Anyway, in addition to producing stellar pornographic cinema, they host parties, photo shoots, live action play, and more. [Inset filmed fornication joke here] Update: A Kink.com rep tell us that they "laid off 11% (12 people)."

never were truer words spoken.

although pornhub isn't helping.

WOW. They'd been growing like mad.

Working for that company is the only aspiration I have in life.

'Scuse me while I go jump off that fuckin' bridge.

Better go before they put that net up.

whatever happened to that cafe they were going to open on the ground floor? i was so looking forward to cafe con leche.

Does anyone actually pay for porn anymore?

why is the assumption that Acworth is to blame?


Five links none of them to the source article. pretty please a link?

Maybe Larry Flynt and that Girls Gone Wild guy really do need the $5 billion dollar bailout they're asking Congress for. With all the sex joints closing around town, maybe sex has gone out of style.
