Only in Canada ?
“Telus, Canada’s second-largest telecommunications carrier has started selling pornography to its cellular subscribers. The service allows subscribers with mobile browsers to purchase both photographic and video adult-oriented content from Telus, at an average of CD$4 per download. Telus decided to introduce the service after noticing that there existed a certain ‘segment of the population that is interested in that content’ from review of the mobile Web browsing habits of their subscribers ‘on an aggregate level.’ They are the first telecommunications company in Canada to offer such content. A Telus spokesman said: ‘We’re fairly certain that if our competitors in Canada haven’t launched it, they will soon. Same in the US.’”

Ah, poor Canada. For those confused about America’s northern neighbor here are some comparisons:
America: A country with four seasons: spring, summer, fall, winter.
Canada: A country with two seasons: cold and not-as-cold (but still pretty cold).
America: Has the most powerful military machine on the planet.
Canada: Has two jeeps and one helicopter, currently waiting on parts.
America: Finds it difficult to apologize, especially to China.
Canada: Apologizes as a form of introduction.
American: Wouldn’t bend over to pick up a Canadian quarter.
Canadian: Wouldn’t do it either.
