  • dotlizard, on 01/14/2008, -4/+87what a great ***** idea. why didn't i think of that?

    i didn't say that out loud, did i?
    • aussieNickuss, on 01/14/2008, -3/+45No. You typed it into digg though.
      • Dwebtron, on 01/14/2008, -1/+10how did you KNOW?!
        • Smaulz, on 01/14/2008, -5/+6Get out of my HEEAAADDD!!!!

          [edit]
          oops, too late... been done. Bury please.

        - new reality TV show in about 9 months...
    • DroogInPhoenix, on 01/14/2008, -4/+24I thought about it long time ago, I didnt think people would sell their soul to the internet for a quick piece of ass.... Guess I was wrong.
      • fiftyeggs, on 01/14/2008, -1/+49When was the last time your soul blew you? I didn't think so.
      • brad3378, on 01/15/2008, -0/+3Just wear a burger king mask as a disguise.
    • SuperWinner, on 01/14/2008, -1/+11Big Sister, great name.
      • b1kerguy, on 01/14/2008, -10/+0would it still be called the 'edipus complex' if it's your sister?
        • MacEnvy, on 01/14/2008, -0/+10Nope, that's an Osmonds' Complex (as in, Donny and Marie).
        • pintomp3, on 01/14/2008, -1/+22first off, it's oedipus. second, it's mother not sister. lastly, your joke would have sucked even if you did get it right.
      • ccourt23, on 01/14/2008, -0/+415 minutes, or less, of fame

        best line in the article
        • artofwar420, on 01/14/2008, -0/+3I'd say an average of 5 minutes is more accurate.
      • JDRay, on 01/15/2008, -0/+2"The corporate registry in the Swiss canton of Zug doesn't name the firm's owners."

        I'm reminded of the movie Caveman, in which "zug zug" indicated sex, as in "Lar zug zug Lana."
        • Akaji, on 03/15/2008, -0/+1Wait, so those peons in Warcraft were always saying "sex"? Creepy...
    • ursername180, on 01/14/2008, -4/+6And the people in the control room get to watch, zoom in, choose angles and get paid for doing it? DREAM JOB!
      • jftitan, on 01/14/2008, -0/+5Get Paid for watching porn.... awesome concept.
      • rspeed, on 01/14/2008, -0/+22Yeah. For a week. Then when you get completely desensitized to sex, let me know how great you think it is.
        • weeeezzll, on 01/14/2008, -0/+19Wonder if any of those guys ever get in trouble for doing work when they are suppose to be watching porn...?
      • fileptr, on 01/14/2008, -3/+1Guess what..You can watch all NSFW digg story's pics at work.
    • zerhynn, on 01/14/2008, -2/+5a great ***** idea,ahoooooo!
    • HarryTruman, on 01/14/2008, -1/+6Get out of my head, Charles!
    • altrego99, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1Website, please.

    • ryusen, on 01/15/2008, -0/+1really? i DID think of that.. too bad i live in the wrongest country to try it.
    • Spatan007, on 03/16/2008, -2/+1well while you think of that business model look at this baby photo
      http://digg.com/gaming_news/Xbox_Baby_Her_name_is_ ...
  • iambetterthanu, on 01/14/2008, -3/+100This might not be your cup of tea but this is simply a genius idea. Free Sex for free actors. The possibility for a insane amounts of content. Simply genius !
    • novask, on 01/14/2008, -1/+9Except when the guy goes for the money shot before the cameras are even turned on.
    • colincornaby, on 01/14/2008, -3/+18Have you ever seen the sorts of people who go to brothels? I'm not sure I'd want to see that "content."
      • Tuto, on 01/14/2008, -0/+24Tell you the truth i would probably find it quite refreshing. Watching ordinary guys that i could relate to ***** beautiful women instead of your average male porn star with a 13 inch dick and a six pack that you could see under a winter coat. Even though i always keep my eyes on the girls i think ordinary guys would bring a certain amount of realism which i feel is lacking in your standard porn movies with your standard male porn star. Just to make it clear i personally don't use brothels so i cant really relate to those that use them, but i can relate even less to porn stars.
        • Fiola, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1Yeh but do you really want to see a fairly unattractive male in his 40s packing a big beer belly in your porn? Realistic, but probably not something everyone wants to see.
        • Tuto, on 01/14/2008, -0/+0I don't think it would matter to me. Like i said i keep my eye on the girls so it doesn't really matter to me if the guy has a wrinkled 40 year old mans ass or a tight young mans ass, i just don't pay attention to it and i think the director understands not to focus too much on the guy..
        • miken32, on 01/14/2008, -0/+18Quoting people out of context is fun:
          "it doesn't really matter to me if the guy has a wrinkled 40 year old mans ass or a tight young mans ass" -- Tuto
        • Tuto, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1Dude seriously weak.....
          Hilarious, but not when done to me :)
    • davidlow, on 01/14/2008, -0/+6Yeah, but with the writers' strike they might as well be grunting the whole time on camera. Oh, wait a sec.
      • LeeSoong, on 01/14/2008, -0/+2IT'S A TRAP !

        They're trying to bust up the writers guild !
    • weeeezzll, on 01/14/2008, -0/+3Well, it's a novel idea, but it's not financial genius by a long shot. Guys don't get paid a lot of money doing porn, so the savings are negligible.
    • tuntcickle, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1this is going to be a valuable source of comedic internet videos for a long time
  • netvalar, on 01/14/2008, -2/+12That is a creative way to get free content that others will pay bucks for. So how many other ideas are out there like this?
  • masterofgrond, on 01/14/2008, -1/+190"Hey guys, you know that thing we invented a while back? With the bread and the slicing? Yeah, I think I've got an idea that beats it."
    • doctorfungi, on 01/14/2008, -40/+8Dugg for most original take on "best thing since sliced bread" ever.
      • hansonc, on 01/14/2008, -4/+48buried for explaining a joke as old as sliced bread
  • Katana, on 01/14/2008, -0/+105If they are not paying for sex, doesn't that mean it's not prostitution and legal in most countries?
    Would be a great business model if it was.
    • TheYar, on 01/14/2008, -0/+14The women are being paid to have sex. But I guess it's porn and not prostitution.
      • cawpin, on 01/14/2008, -2/+3Yeah, it would be porn. Although, to be in a film sold in the US I believe you have to be in the SAG, which costs like $600. I guess the website just pays it for you and hopes they get more than that in profit.
      • Godpigeon, on 01/14/2008, -0/+3umm.. that only counts if it's a union shoot. There are plenty of films of all types that aren't union.
    • sonoran, on 01/14/2008, -0/+3Ha ha yah! Plenty of celebrities have sold their own sex tapes for profit. If this were prostitution, they'd be guilty of it too.
    • ReadItAndWeep, on 01/14/2008, -0/+7In most modern and civilized countries prostitution is legal and regulated as it should be.
  • Dradis, on 01/14/2008, -1/+75I was expecting the Google of brothels.. Ad-supported prostitutes.
    • canewediggit, on 01/14/2008, -0/+17looking for 'spank me, baby'? - ebay.com
    • yeti22, on 01/14/2008, -0/+2That's exactly what I thought first. Free sex in a room plastered floor-to-ceiling with ads. But this Big Sister idea is much better.
  • oOLiquidNightOo, on 01/14/2008, -12/+294madam: what are you looking for?
    guy: well, i have $10.00.
    madam: come with me.

    [she leads him to a back room and opens the door. the room is empty besides a chicken.]

    guy: what the hell, what do i do with that chicken?
    madam: for $10.00, anything you want.

    frustrated, the guy "satisfies" himself with the chicken and leaves. a week later he returns.

    madam: what are you looking for?
    guy: can i get anything for $5.00?
    madam: come with me.

    [again, she leads him towards the same back room. this time, she stops at the adjacent door and opens it. the room is jammed with guys, the man walks in.]

    guy: what the hell, what's going on in here?
    guy 2: look through the two-way mirror. the dude in that room is having sex with a 95 year old woman.
    guy: aww, this is gross, i paid $5.00 to watch this?
    guy 2: dude, this is nothing. last week we watched some dude ***** a chicken.
  • xdvx, on 01/14/2008, -2/+14Free Sex sounds great
    • SuperWinner, on 01/14/2008, -11/+4Ya, but your girlfriend want s $10,000 solitaire diamond ring.
    • passedoutghost, on 01/15/2008, -0/+0Well technically it's not free, because you'd be giving away your rights to your "sex tape"
  • Skunkhair, on 01/14/2008, -3/+17i know i can't be the only one thinking, "I would so totally pay to join that website." The idea is pure brilliance.
  • damnitdaniel, on 01/14/2008, -3/+66The idea's great and all, but jesus, look at that monitor setup! I want that!
    • b1kerguy, on 01/14/2008, -1/+35a true techi, article on free sex, "look at that setup" its ok, i do the same thing
    • shinythingy, on 01/14/2008, -1/+15only on digg
    • Radan, on 01/14/2008, -0/+9That guy on the picture has now on this day been nominated for the "Worlds Greatest Porn Surfer" award.
  • trisquithere, on 01/14/2008, -1/+8was i the only one who actually want to Bigsister.net?
  • smacksaw, on 01/14/2008, -4/+68So I can see ugly, chain-smoking euros banging strung out heroin addicts, and all for less than $50 a month?

    Where do I sign up???
  • SACubeMonkey, on 01/14/2008, -2/+3Looks like somebody else was watching g4 last night.
  • Dested, on 01/14/2008, -6/+2Link anyone?
  • Devachan, on 01/14/2008, -2/+7from the article: ``This is National Geographic for adults. Everyone's curious to watch their neighbor.'' ``It's what the people want, to see normal people.'' Me: No, No, & NO WAY!! They haven't SEEN my neighbors!! yukky.
    • aduzik, on 01/16/2008, -0/+1I saw that and thought, "no, National Geographic is National Geographic for adults."
  • egonSchiele, on 01/14/2008, -5/+31why would anyone go to the website when you can just have sex?
    • AlienHairball, on 01/14/2008, -0/+14Because many people don't live anywhere near that brothel... ;-)
    • bloominoctober, on 01/14/2008, -1/+7Because Digg users can't "just have sex"
    • xt0ph3r, on 01/14/2008, -0/+16You're right. This "porn" thing will NEVER take off.
  • alex7575, on 01/14/2008, -4/+36Everyone digg this down now, so my wife won't see this...
    • azimir, on 01/14/2008, -1/+9Are you afraid she'll take Big Sister up on their offer?
  • Gryffydd, on 01/14/2008, -3/+22There's the possibility of one or two other catches....but some penicillin should take care of those.
    • jdog7117, on 01/15/2008, -0/+1In Nevada, legal prostitution is very regulated. Prostututes are tested very often for STDs, and condoms are mandatory. Since 1986 when the testing began, not one prostitute has tested positive for HIV.
  • Halfwit88, on 01/14/2008, -10/+8You had me a free sex
  • Johnson2008, on 01/14/2008, -3/+6I wonder if there is any rules to what you're wearing? I'd Go with a Lucha Mask in my 15 minutes of fame.
  • dupswapdrop, on 01/14/2008, -2/+8Packing my bags the girls there look hot. Now do I wax my body or just play the ape man part.
    • doktorrocket, on 01/14/2008, -1/+13Shave "GoldenPalace.Com" into your body hair and they'll cover your travel expenses.

      I just made that up, but I don't know that it's not true.
  • noahhoward, on 01/14/2008, -3/+7Here I was thinking the catch was going to be some STD.
  • Homerr, on 01/14/2008, -3/+421. Get some ho's
    2. Open brothel
    3. Get teh internets
    4. Profit!
    • qwertyuio, on 01/14/2008, -1/+12Yes, there's really no "????" step in that.
  • ElementEVE, on 01/14/2008, -7/+1i saw a doku about it 2 years ago... OLD!
  • WoundedCow, on 01/14/2008, -2/+14And where do I go to invest $10,000 in this????? Screw that PacWest fund which gets me 9.8% a year...this is going to explode!
  • sremick, on 01/14/2008, -2/+12I don't know about you, but I'd look at it as being willing to pay $150 to NOT have it filmed, saved, and broadcast all over the internet.
    • loganhuddleston, on 01/14/2008, -2/+2good point, but im pretty sure nobody knows who i am in europe.
      • ro0ke, on 01/14/2008, -0/+4Yeah, and it's a good thing the Internet only exists in Europe
    • Gryffydd, on 01/14/2008, -1/+1Not only that, but I'm sure some people would really get off on being watched...
  • 4degrees, on 01/14/2008, -1/+4got my plane ticket already.
  • need4speed, on 01/14/2008, -1/+9watch out people! go watch the film hostel 1 and 2, you'll see what i mean! :D
    • Jones82, on 01/15/2008, -0/+1I don't know if :D is the appropriate emoticon for that
  • hedron, on 01/14/2008, -17/+2*sigh*

    Yet another sign of the repugnant moral degeneration of our society. I would like a copy of the list of subscribers as they will be the first to be sent to camps for "re-education."
    • minoss, on 01/14/2008, -2/+16Sex is evil! Quick, must get to moral high ground.
      • hedron, on 01/14/2008, -6/+3No.

        Sex is not evil.

        Denigrating women just to get your rocks off is evil.

        Do you people even know what you are putting these women through? Statistics involving suicide rate, depression and drug use demonstrate clearly the damage prostitution costs.
        • DrDabbles, on 01/14/2008, -1/+4Dentists have the highest suicide rate of any profession. So, by your logic, oral hygiene is evil too!

          Listen, in life everyone makes choices. Some are good, some are not so good. Choosing the be a prostitute is probably not the best choice one can make, BUT, the data shows that most of them have a long history of sexual abuse. Perhaps the reasons for suicide and drug addiction run a little deeper than being paid to have sex, no?
          • hedron, on 01/14/2008, -1/+1Actually, of the health care profession "shrinks" have to highest suicide rate. I have no idea what profession has the highest rate over all, but I'm quite sure prostitution or porn star isn't high on the job satisfaction list.

            Highest suicide rates aside, my logic has nothing to do with how happy these women are. My logic has to do with the fact that porn is a sign and a cause of the decadence of our society. When morals erode you wind up with a situation like the French Revolution.

            In the end, all these people in the porn industry need to be strung up on a tree and hanged or at least bludgeoned with the nearest metal cylinder. They don't belong in civilized society.
        • minoss, on 01/14/2008, -1/+2I fail to see how paying to have sex correlated to degrading women. I paid for lunch about 15 minutes ago. Does that mean I degraded the food workers there? Would a women paying a man for sex (yes, it happens) also be degrading?
          • hedron, on 01/14/2008, -2/+1I think my IQ just lowered by 2 points just reading your dribble. Even so, it hasn't lowered enough to form arguments so witless as to allow someone so intellectually bankrupt that he thinks comparing buying lunch to prostitution is an adaquate analogy.
          • minoss, on 01/14/2008, -1/+1You made the assumption that the exchange of money some how degrades one of the parties involved. I pointed out that is not true for ANY other market. The only thing wrong with my analogy is your predisposition to sex.
      • hedron, on 01/15/2008, -1/+1Re-read my posts and you will clearly see I never made any such correlation or analogy or otherwise between paying for something and immorality. I'd suggest you take a look at this website before responding to someone whose IQ could be factored by yours.

        I know, it will take enormous amounts of concentration and mental discipline, but hang in there bucko! You can do it!
  • iveo83, on 01/14/2008, -1/+2No sample videos?
  • oxphantomxo, on 01/14/2008, -3/+6Do I have to say it,
    Pic,s or it didn't happen !
  • grey580, on 01/14/2008, -1/+2Oh man..... Brilliant!
  • projjalc, on 01/14/2008, -0/+11"'Sex is no taboo,' Nick says, though he asked that his last name not be used."
    Having a sex video (or four) on the internet should help preserve his anonymity.
  • astrotrain, on 01/14/2008, -2/+5"The 36-year-old bank-security technician drove eight hours from his home in Metz, France"?

    Wasn't this guy afraid of NBC being on site to film "To Catch a Predator: France Edition"?
  • bigteebo, on 01/14/2008, -1/+3I wonder if Iceland Air has tickets available to Prague right now, hmm....
  • donkeySays, on 01/14/2008, -1/+9January 14th, 2009: Google acquires BigSister.
  • kamtsa, on 01/14/2008, -0/+4Big deal, free sex. Certain people even get paid for having sex.
    ;-)
  • hendrixlives64, on 01/14/2008, -0/+3all right, the girls will be hot, but they'll be getting banged by any fat, balding, needledick that walks through the door..
    i wouldn't pay $40 a month for that...
    • blackjack75, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1Not today, but trust me, in ten years, it'll feel "just fine".
  • snoutspout, on 01/14/2008, -1/+3sorry for playing the "ooooold" card... but that story is more than 2 years old
  • neko6, on 01/14/2008, -3/+8Yeah, online porn!
    ...
    ...

    Dad?!
    • DrDabbles, on 01/14/2008, -1/+2Better than, "Mom? Granny?! SIS!!!!!"
  • Cowboy1015, on 01/14/2008, -3/+2Very good model to take advantage of these sex addict morons, $150 dollars to have your sex video on the internet???
  • theNazz, on 01/14/2008, -1/+10The title of my movie would be '15 seconds to paradise'... five of those seconds would be for the opening and closing credits...
  • Gryffydd, on 01/14/2008, -2/+1I can just imagine what's going to happen when all these diggers get there. After their performance they'll be told it's only free if they last more than 58 seconds...
  • bitterbug, on 01/14/2008, -0/+5This has been going on in North America for a few years. Showcase or Bravo had a series on sex and society, and one of the episodes was about a New York company will film you having sex, so that your partner is no longer a prostitute, she's an actor. You could also direct and shoot the scenes if you just wanted the voyeur kick.
    • buckrogers1965, on 01/14/2008, -0/+3I never could figure that out. Paying to have sex is illegal. Paying someone to have sex on camera is legal.
  • Shroomie, on 01/14/2008, -1/+1So... When's the next flight to Prague?
  • LomasLou, on 01/14/2008, -1/+1It seems that if anybody can have sex as often as they want for free, then this would seem to reduce the market for pay for porn online services. Like bears eating their young or something.
  • NBMFTW, on 01/14/2008, -1/+0This was in 'Loaded' magazine, in the UK, about a year ago. Awesome, though!
  • Rsulliv1, on 01/14/2008, -2/+3Forget about posting something embarrassing on MySpace, that now a secondary concern.... what if potential employers can search for you on the Big Sister website?

    Interviewer: "So, I did some research and... it appears you have exceptional... stamina".
  • sark666, on 01/14/2008, -0/+1I'm ready for my close-up
  • blackjack75, on 01/14/2008, -2/+1Hum, a porn site that gets only 10-15k *hits* a day and they call it a success? They don't even mention the unique visitors.

    Usual press trick of telling people it's a success in order to get actual success. From the number it's not.

    PS: For those not familiar with web server stats, a hit is counted for every single element on a webpage. Eg. one pageview on a page with 20 images = 21 hits.
