I’m guessing we need about $4,000 in seed money, plus some bucks for packaging, shipping, handling and beer before this takes off. Just think of the possibilities.

First there were teletypes, and some wags started sending ASCII images. Soon the images sent included naked women. Then the thermo-fax came along which made sending images of boobs in poor quality B&W even easier. Today’s technology allows us to attach full color HD photos of smut to emails and share it instantly to a boss or spouse. The next technological leap is intuitively obvious to the casual observer.

A few years from now, when the price for a 3D printer becomes affordable for the general public, we’ll be able to send even better pr0n. Once that happens, it’ll only be a matter of time before fully-automated color 3D tactile .gif animations will be possible. Teenage boys around the world will rejoice and cough up lots of expendable cash for the *ahem* service.

Who’s with me on this? If everyone who reads this post sends me $15 (cash only – no checks) I’d be happy to set it all up, and promote almost certain prosperity for the readers of The Overnight Open Thread.
