I would have to respond that due to the sensitivity of corporations to their image, that most would immediately instruct their IT departments to change their technology usage rather than be associate with *any* industry which would negatively affect their image.
A website is only a small part of their corporate image-building process, but a negative image from *any* part of the image-building work would be shot down immediately. I have a close friend who works with a very large international company, and I can tell you, they work very hard to maintain their image as a good corporate citizen in the communities in which they are involved. No...again...

They are really well done, high end content management systems with a very sophisticated e-commerce setup, affiliate system, search engine optimization, etc. The fact that they are selling porn dvds is incidental. They are examples of great Coldfusion business sites. If I can get approval from the client, I will happily add them to the list. So my vote would be to have an adult section for sites that are good uses of CF, but potentially offensive to some viewers.
