Glass Porn: Coming To A Screen Near You
Jen McEwen and Jesse Adams are the founders of Mikandi, Android’s first and biggest adult app store. You might remember them from their latest snafu with Google over an adult app for Glass.
Basically, they created an Instagram-like app for Google Glass, only instead of filters, they were all about the adult POV content. The app would have been a stream of people’s most intimate and naked moments — ready for you to browse and engage with.
Google made like an ninja, changed its policy to block adult content, zapped Mikandi’s API limit (preventing them from updating the app), and generally froze them out — basically, the best rendition of Apple we’ve ever seen. Mikandi did what they could: they re-released Tits and Glass with a filter that directs all porn content to their site instead of the Glassware app. You can see and take hot pictures with Glass using their app — but these need to be Safe For Work for them to show up for other users using the app.
It’s a lot like what Tumblr was doing when they blocked certain “adult” hashtags from being accessed on mobile devices. By making people go on the web to access adult content, Glass is able to separate itself enough from pornography to feel legit.
The end result is a total bummer, but Mikandi can’t be kept down. In a shameless display of the right of users to use their devices as they see fit, Mikandi has teamed up with adult giant XBIZ to create the first Google Glass porn.
“The first thing everyone thought [when Glass came out] was, ‘OK, it’s obviously going to be used for porn,'” Mikandi co-founder Jesse Adams told Arikia Millikan, who was there during the filming.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but that’s certainly the first thing I thought.
With the help and talent of adult stars Andy San Dimas and James Deen, the first ever glass porn was underway — and boy, did Mikandi have fun injecting little nods to Tits and Glass and other issues that Glass users have encountered (such as the devices inability to recognize certain “objectionable” words).
Here’s the trailer (it’s safe for YouTube, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s safe for work!):
I hope they title it “#Glassholes.”
