...video rentals and sales have steadily grown into a $4.2 billion-a-year business (nearly 14% of all video transactions and more than a quarter of the home-video industry's revenue), the mainstream media have started to cash in on the growing celebrity of hard-core performers. Howard Stern, Jerry Springer and the E! channel regularly feature porn stars as guests on their TV shows, while film directors like Spike Lee and John Frankenheimer use them in cameos as a hip name check.

Minnie is also aboard, flirting shamelessly; if she spoke, she would be saying, "Hello, sailor!" A huge Goofy adorns the stern. And when the Magic leaves port, the ship's horn blasts seven ominous notes: "When...you...wish...up...on...a...star...
