And here we thought the site was just annoying: Stickam, a video-sharing service, is owned by a Japanese operator of porn websites, Brad Stone reports for the New York Times. A former employee claims that "Stickam shares office space, employees and computer systems with the pornographic Web sites." That's disturbing for parents, considering that Stickam lets 14-year-olds use the site, and disturbing for media companies like Lionsgate and Warner Brothers Records, which have run promotions on the site. The kicker to the Times story? Anti-pornography crusader Donna Rice Hughes says parents need to "exercise caution" when viewing the site's racy videos. Hughes, the former model who brought an end to Gary Hart's 1980s presidential campaign, could tell Stickam a thing or two about undesirable connections.
