Government sponsored porn?

This really all comes down to whether you agree with pornographic videos or not. Apparently the current Conservative government does!

According to this artice from The Globe and Mail, Human Resource Development Canada and Heritage Canada, two federal government agencies, are sponsoring internships at a company called Hot G Vibe. The company makes erotic toys, and instructional videos on how to use them. They are in need of "Final Cut Video Editors," and the government is willing to sponsor these positions.

When you think about it, the government frequently sponsors internships at companies, and indeed at some film companies. The only difference in this circumstance is the content of the film.

I myself am against this, as it is a clear example of taxpayer dollars going to a less than reputable, and offensive at best industry. No word from either the PMO or other parties yet.
