I am certainly not wanting to argue either, but I think I may disagree with you here on this one. In the earlier article, it quotes Housely as being part of the ICM sales team, utilizing the NaughtyTweetNetwork for .XXX sales pitches.

The [ICM sales] team is rounded out with Pete Housley of The Naughty Tweet Network, who will focus on adult industry marketing
I read that to mean the Naughty Tweet Network is effectively part of the sales team representing .XXX / ICM. Thus, I think some parallels can be drawn to the criticism Chris 2.0 faced around here -- he was also just basically hired to sell .XXX. And yet he received a pretty substantial backlash over it. And now I am simply curious to see if AVN receives a similar level of backlash over working with someone who works for/represents XXX and ICM.

It makes little difference to me one way or the other, but I admittedly am curious to see how it may be perceived among GFY'ers.
