Columbia House, famous for its "12 CDs for a penny" record clubs, will
launch its own adult video club with Playboy Entertainment at the end
of this month. The service, called Hush, will sell pornography through
direct mail and a Web site.


While 50-year-old Columbia House is eager to cash in on the $12
billion porn business, officials are pretty hush hush about Hush.


"This will be a separate subsidiary," said Jim Litwak, senior vice
president of marketing at Columbia House. "It will be completely
separate from Columbia House, and will not be marketed to current
members. We are not using Columbia House at all, and are not talking
to existing members; this is a separate business and deal."


Columbia House, the nation's largest direct distributor of DVDs and
home video, will handle distribution, while Playboy, which has an
adult direct-mail list "in the millions," according to Litwak, will
handle marketing.


Litwak added that his company estimates that total adult video
sell-through and rentals total $5 billion a year.

I have really never gotten what the appeal of pornography is. I mean,
besides the naked ladies, what's so great about it?
