I can see it now...

Interviewer: "Tell me about your last three employers."

Employee: "Well, after my stint writing instructions on
"Using credit cards to gamble" for MegaBucks
Casino, I moved to SW Pirates Inc., where I
documented their CD copying and cracking
tools. They had a RIF after the start of the
DOJ investigation, so I started looking for
work again. That's when I landed my last job,
working for Wendy's House of S&M, writing
instructions and warnings for their "hard
core" line. Is something wrong?

I'm not morally opposed to porn (though there is quite a lot of it that I
don't find attractive at all), but I would not work for a pornography
because I would not want that name on my resume to be seen by future
prospects who might have a problem with it.

I get the general impression that porn is more objectionable than working on
weapons (things that kill) or privacy-encroaching technology.
