Penthouse is adding a new dimension to its porn by launching the world's first 3D adult television channel. On Tuesday, Penthouse 3D joined the lineup of Europe's Astra satellite network. Television sets equipped with 3D technology still have not gained widespread popularity since manufacturers began touting them last year, and there has been "a relative dearth of 3D programming," says Mark Hachman in PC Magazine. Will the new Penthouse channel help boost sales, or will the interest of European viewers fail to be aroused?
This is a perfect match: "Fake jiggling breasts, pert bobbing behinds, and the rampant thrusting of hips" make porn an ideal candidate for 3D treatment, says Steven Mostyn in The Tech Herald. "European smut lovers will be thrilled" with this new channel.
