  Exploitation Now - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Exploitation Now was a webcomic drawn by Michael Poe (generally referred to simply as "Poe") on Keenspot from July 2000 to August 2002.
Exploitation Now was notorious for its use of fanservice, sex, violence, and anime references, including anime-style artwork.
In the beginning, Exploitation Now concerned a female porn star and a male moogle-like person, and their comedic (and sexy) mishaps, such as accidentally summoning tentacle monsters.

 Exploitation
The president of Stanford University claimed that big-time college athletics “reeks of exploitation,” because the universities gain a great deal of revenue from the services of the athletes while the athletes (whose graduation rate is much lower than that of non-athletes) gain little from their college experience.
For present purposes, an exploitation claim refers to statements that A's interaction with B is (or is not) wrongfully exploitative or to statements that presuppose such a claim.

 Salvation Inc.: Reality-TV Doesn't Exist
It is exploitation of the blue-collar workforce, and a brazen conjecture to glorify the CEOs and the big bosses, shown in television's beautiful, magical nomenclature to compel us to feel empathy for the persons in charge.
Television is the greatest educational tool ever invented, yet it is used for glorification of the mundane by the rich, used to rob humans of their subjectivity and replace it with objectivity.
Now, the fabrication of truth has been commodified, the show is marketed as a 'reality-TV' show, and leads the public to believe that nothing in the broadcast is contrary to reality.

Now, as long as the transformation problem is somehow related to the solution of the problem of relative price determination in a capitalist economy, I don't think Keynes is going to be too much of help.
Now, on exploitation: if you take the total output as given, then in a two class society it has to be shared by the two classes only (as long as we assume that whatever is produced is used and not wasted).
Now, I say that, in this case, the rate of exploitation should be determined by the ratio of labor time it takes to produce what capitalists appropriate (both as private consumption and constant capital goods) and what workers appropriate (consume) of the total net output.

Now suppose that ten of these families starve themselves for a decade--living on little more than half-rations--to raise the cash to buy farm machinery, irrigation systems, fruit trees, et cetera from the cities.
Now at this point the standard response is that the example is rigged: that in the real world those who own property and hire labor and live richly gained their wealth not through sacrifice but through a combination of luck and theft and having chosen the right parents.
Exploitation exists by the very nature of the "hiring" process whereby the worker is entitled only to a productivity-determined real wage that is less than his or her average productivity.

I even think of European exploitation, of Jesse Franco, Jose Larraz, and Lina Romay, before I recall the Poverty Row sleaze that was churned out of Wardour Street, London, on a regular basis until the end of the seventies.
Well, in addition to noting that nothing traveled quite as badly as British exploitation, it also tells you that there’s very little fondness for it, even in its homeland and despite the gently ironic nostalgia that is so fashionable in current film discussions.
Like the exploitation films of the 1970s, they are largely dismissed by the critics and (often) the public at large.

Michael Budkie, executive director of SAEN and author of the report, said information gathered from USDA inspection reports [of the University of Pittsburgh's facilities] described violations that included the use of expired drugs, housing of 35-inch primates in 32-inch cages and unnecessary isolation of disease-free primates, among others.

The addition was prompted by a DOJ initiative, led by the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section of the Criminal Division, to crack down on misleading domain names following enactment of the Prosecutorial Remedies and Tools Against the Exploitation of Children Today Act (the "PROTECT Act") on April 30, 2003.
Among other things, the PROTECT Act created a new federal law, codified at Title 18, Section 2252B of the United States Code, that makes it a crime to knowingly use a misleading domain name on the Internet with the intent to deceive a minor into viewing material that is harmful to minors on the Internet.
The new feature has been added to the CyberTipline, which already provides members of the public a means to report child exploitation crimes, including the trafficking of child pornography, online enticement of children, child prostitution, child sex tourism, non-family child sexual molestation, and obscenity sent to children.

From a very young age, Poe’s dream was to be a comic artist when he grew up, and though he was briefly distracted by other goals such as wanting to become a Ninja or a Jedi, he has more or less remained true to his original aim all the way through to the present day.
In 2002, Poe ended Exploitation Now and immediately began work on a new project, the epic fantasy manga Errant Story (ongoing).
To his surprise, not only did the first printing of Exploitation Now in book form sell out, many of his fans also followed him to this new project and applauded his change to the more serious story-telling he had been evolving to in the latter half of Exploitation Now.
