...that revenue came from Western Europe, where mobile porn is more widely offered by carriers. "There's less of a drive to regulate the industry in Europe," says mobile-industry consultant Chetan Sharma, who adds that U.S. and Canadian carriers have largely avoided carrying porn applications for fear of a public backlash. Before the new iPhone was announced, Juniper projected that revenue from mobile adult content would rise to $4.6 billion by 2012. With millions of 3G iPhones in the market, Juniper's principal analyst Windsor Holden says, the number could grow far larger. "A huge portion...
...surrealism that permeates Congo's jungles builds in the tense run-up to the presidential elections of June 2006. Mealer finds himself in eastern Congo waiting for the possible emergence of Commander Cobra, a mysterious militia leader in charge of 2,000 soldiers, mostly children, who are ruled through fear and black magic.

Not visual effects, you understand: these folks don't sit at computers and play with pixels, a technique that requires an actor to stand in front of a green screen and mime fear. They are old-fashioned craftsmen, using spirit gum and other medieval (and modern) applications to devise prostheses so horrid, so hand-made, they'd scare anyone on the set. In a tradition stretching back to silent-film star Lon Chaney, the SPFX makeup men, in essence, build scary masks. They make horror...
