The Netflix DVDs come in a red package and the SugarDVD's come in a blue one, so we're like, "Oooh! A Netflix arrived!" or "Oooh! A porn arrived!"
Jax, CEO of SugarDVD responded to Tori's statement with the gift of "Free porn for life." Since Spelling in 2006, SugarDVD has gifted several other celebrities with “A lifetime of Free Porn.” Among the celebrities who publicly accepted the offer are, Flavor Flav,Adam Carolla,Shock G of Digital Underground, and Don Magic Juan
