Vivid Loves VOD: “My Ex-Girlfriend”

In a spookily timed touché to all the gloom-and-doom prophecies hitting the news wires this week that the interweb is killing the adult industry's main source of revenue from DVD sales, Vivid announced this week that it will (up)skirt its usual distribution channels and release the upcoming "My Ex-Girlfriend", starring former Penthouse Pet and recently minted Vivid girl Brea Lynn, exclusively via Video On Demand instead of on its usual shiny plastic disk thingies early next month. (In mainstream entertainment, movies that are released direct to DVD are usually seen as a liability, but in Porn Valley now the direct-to-VOD thing is apparently a feature.) The good news is that we won't have to wait as long to see Brea in action as we would if we had to wait for the screener to arrive in our mailbox. The bad news is that if it turns out to be as bad as "Kim Kardashian Superstar" (unlikely, but still), we'll be denied the satisfaction of turning our DVD into a decorative candleholder or chcuking it under the next street cleaning vehicle that passes our living room.
