in 2006 ... Perry's 1995 financial disclosure showed he owned between $5,000 and $10,000 in stock in the company Movie Gallery. He was at the time state commissioner of agriculture.
Why is that significant? Because the now-defunct Movie Gallery, once a competitor to Blockbuster, was known for offering XXX porn rentals....
An AFA spokesman complained to a local newspaper, "There were hundreds of these hard, nasty-looking videos that were extremely graphic."..
Asked about the investment by Salon, Perry spokesman Mark Miner argued that it is a non-story. "It was a regional video chain just like a Blockbuster or any other," he said, adding that Perry had bought and sold the stock in 1995. (Perry's stock holdings were put in a blind trust in 1996, so what he has owned since that year is not publicly known.)

Governor Rick Perry’s presidential campaign office did not respond to repeated requests regarding his ownership of stock in Movie Gallery, a video rental company that was boycotted by American Family Association for the pornographic and violent films it sold and rented. Some of the titles included Teens with Tits Vol. 1, Teen Power Vol. 4, Teens Never Say No, Big Tit Brotha Lovers 6, Bisexual Barebacking Vol. 1 which from its title and cover appears to advocate gay and straight naked fornication and sodomy.
....
Until it went out of business in 2010, Movie Gallery , the nation’s second largest video chain, was the largest distributor of pornography in America and the only major retail chain to sell pornography in its flagship stores. The margin of profit on porn allowed the chain to undercut rental prices on mainstream videos, forcing mom-and-pops out of business. ....
So, this is the kind of man that Republicans want to lead the nation? Yech!! !
