I wonder how John Logie Baird Have prospered if only he'd dared To put on the air Sweet pictures of bare Young ladies? How would he have fared? You may treat this notion with scorn, But cornering the market in porn, Much wealth he'd accrue, In those years, so few, Before his TV sales were gorn.
(Baird's early mostly mechanical devices were soon overtaken by electronics developed iirc by EMI.)
