Organization: Carnegie Mellon University

Pittsburgh, PA. (for immediate release)

     The controversial author of the `CMU study' on electronic pornography
   is making the news again. In the CMU tradition of rapid commercialisation
   of new technologies, the technology developed from the study will be
   used as the core technology of a start-up business, known as RimmJob
   Enterprises.

         RimmJob Enterprises' debut offering will be a Internet browsing tool
   called `Personal Porn Explorer'. Says the CEO of this dynamic young
   business:

     `Personal Porn Explorer takes the guesswork out of finding tasty porn
   on the Internet!'

     Among Personal Porn Explorer's features (quoted from the preface to the
   user manual):

     `Contruction of a detailed user profile: So as to quickly find the porn
   that YOU want, PPE can construct a psychological profile of your
   paraphilias. Contains full manual conflict resolution: Is female-to-female
   oral-anal action LESBIAN, ORAL, or ANAL? You be the judge!' 
  
    `Amazing connectivity: Now you can take part in the revolutionary
  Communications Technology that allowed the founders of RimmJob Enterprises
  their early, sensational success! You'll hardly notice the difference
  between USENET, the Internet and the adult BBS world!'

    `Report mechanism (only available in the Deluxe or Academic Porn-Explorer -
  available 4Q95): Confused by the masses of porn you've been downloading?
  Electrical Engineering degree not panning out? Blinded by the possibilities?
  The Deluxe Porn Report generator is an automatic mechanism for making
  sense of your activities. Produces reports in Microsoft Word, Postscript,
  and Georgetown Law Review formats. Comes with PRP 2.4.5 protection.
  (Peer Review Protection, a powerful privacy mechanism for your generated
  reports - not included in the international version).'

    A shareware version of Personal Porn Explorer will be available from
  Rimmjob Enterprises for evaluation purposes only.

   [The above is mendacious. For full information about the Rimm study,
   or related work, contact the author and putative head of RimmJob
   Enterprises (martin.rimm@andrew.cmu.edu)]
