Admit it. You have laid awake wondering exactly who the first person who thought up the idea of putting porn on the Internet was -- and kicking yourself that it wasn't you.
A new indie comedy-drama, "Middle Men" might serve to soothe your mind on the history aspect, at least. Apparently, the first person to come up with selling porn online was an ordinary businessman, who decided the Internet was populated by nerds who might be interested in buying some adult entertainment. The downside of this generous and profitable idea was that he ended up embroiled in all kinds of drama and danger -- porn starlets, Russian mobsters, international terrorists, federal agents, and con men all ended up at his door.
