Oslo - Two young Norwegian environmentalists have created a pornographic website in an attempt to raise money for various organisations working to protect the environment, one of the two said on Wednesday.
"In light of the turn things are taking in the world today, I think that this is a very honorable way of raising money for environmental causes," said Tommy Hol Ellingsen, the 27-year-old creator of the www.fvckforforest.com website. Visitors to the site can pay $15 a month to view explicit videos of Ellingsen making love with his 21-year-old girlfriend Leona Johansson.
The two plan to donate most proceeds from the site to different environmental organisations, although, they admit, their organisations of choice are still hesitant to participate in the project. Meanwhile, the Norwegian Employment Service unwittingly supported the initiative when it allowed Ellingsen to take a break from his job-hunt while he developed his website project, which the agency believed consisted of selling T-shirts online.
With only about 200 subscribers, the site has not yet made a profit, Ellingsen admitted, but he said he hoped that more publicity would help attract enough web-surfers to allow him to donate $10 from each subscription to environmental organizations.
