Economy Affecting Romance?

Economy Affecting Romance?
NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. -- When you receive something from a guy, it's the thought that counts ...right, ladies?Wrong! Well, wrong according to reports from the Big Apple's diamond district which say the economy is having a negative effect on romance, and it is the prospective brides that are getting the short end of the economic stick.According to diamond retailers, more grooms are buying cubic zirconia rings instead of real diamond rings for their engagement rings thus making brides in New York victims of the recession."There are people who will buy a setting and put a CZ in it for now, hoping to replace it later," said one private jeweler.A luxury jeweler said some of those grooms not purchasing cubic zirconia settings are instead turning to one-carat diamond rings instead of the more traditional and expensive two-carat rings."The budget used to be $65,000. Now it's closer to $10,000," said the jeweler.As you might have expected, not all brides seem happy with the cost-cutting measures of their potential spouses."The women are little hostile about it," said a jeweler. "They have been waiting a long time for a ring!"
-- You know, Voyeurwebbers, there's a reason that song says that "diamonds are a girl's best friend" and doesn't say "zircons are a girl's best friend", hehehe! Let's face it, almost everyone is curbing their spending these days, yet that is precisely why Voyeurweb is so popular throughout the World Wide Web. The cost of a one-year membership to our sexplicit sextions such as Red Clouds, Home Clips, or our massive archive, Funbags, among others, is about as much or less than most other adult sites charge for a one-month membership. Why do we do this? Because we really do care about our global -- and growing -- Voyeurweb family, and we figure you need at least one place on the Internet where you can still enjoy adult entertainment to help relieve the stress of today's world without adding to that stress. Besides, there's nothing like viewing all the lovely ladies at each of VW's many sections, whether free or requiring membership, to take your mind off your problems, and give you a good reason to smile, hehehe! -- Igor
EYE ON: Web-Cam Strippers by K.
If you're one of the 300 to 500 Swedish citizens who use a Web cam to provide adult entertainment on the World Wide Web, Voyeurwebbers, Eye, regrettably, has some distressing news for you. The Swedish Tax Authority announced it is targeting Web cam strippers who fail to report their Internet income when filing their taxes. Tax authority officials said an estimated 300 to 500 people in Sweden earn money online by stripping and/or performing sex acts that are posted to the Internet. All but one of the 200 individuals identified by officials have not declared their income."Young people are usually seen as poorly informed about how to file their taxes. That might be one explanation, but another reason is that their clients don't want to be identified," said Dag Hardyson, project manager for the tax authority's investigation of Internet businesses.Stripping is completely legal in Sweden, but those who earn money doing it are required to register for a corporate taxation certificate and to keep records of income and expenses. As Eye sees it, Voyeurwebbers, Sweden's Tax Authority is not only wrong to go after Web-cam strippers, they will also be wasting Swedes' tax dollars by doing so. By its own admission, the tax authority has only been able to identify 200 Web-Cam adult performers online who are Swedish citizens (Eye has found 20 of them so far), yet estimates there could be as many as 500 Swedish citizens who earn a little extra money by providing adult entertainment online. Given that small a number of potential taxpayers, it would most likely cost the Swedish government more to administrate the Web-cam stripper tax program that the country would receive in tax revenues. And why tax just the Web-cam adult entertainers? Isn't that discriminatory in Sweden? K.

The Movie Biz

Barry was hired to play trumpet on a movie score and was thrilled when he got to take two long solos. After the sessions, he couldn't wait to see the finished product. He waited a month and then asked the producer when and where it was going to play. The embarrassed producer explained that the music was for an adult movie and it was out now. Barry put on a hat and sunglasses, pulled up his collar, and sneaked into the adult movie theater. He sat far in the back, near an elderly couple who were also hiding. The movie was the filthiest, most perverse flick he'd ever seen... halfway through a dog even got in on the action.Embarrassed, Barry whispered to the old couple, "I'm only here for the music." The woman looked back and whispered, "It's okay. We're just here to see our dog!"
