"We're never judgmental about what people do to earn a living. They've got to put food in people's mouths," he said. Historically, the way the show deals with these kind of controversies is a mixed bag. Last year, Antonella Barba appeared in provocative online photos and she remained. But Frenchie Davis, a Season 2 singer, was dropped after reports that as a 19-year-old she appeared on a website designed to appeal to men interested in underage girls.</p><p>There is an obvious difference. Neither Hernandez nor Barba ever did anything illegal. Though many viewers believe that what they have done is morally reprehensible, it is still not a crime, and why shouldn't they have an opportunity to try and change their lives.</p><div id="continued"><p><br /></p><p>Rick's is a company that runs 15 adult entertainment clubs, and whose stock tripled last year. With a weaker economy, and lower Wall-Street salaries (up to a third of clients are Wall-Street types), '08 may be a tough year for the company. </p><p>As for how should investors deal with these types of investments, there are two schools of thought. On the one hand, the goal of any investment is to make money so if a company like Rick's provides that potential, then invest. The other school of thought takes a more moral view towards investing. While I am not a big fan of socially responsible investing, because it often is an investing proxy for liberal causes, I do feel that investing in "adult entertainment' clubs crosses the line and if we want a better world in which to raise our precious children we probably can do without these types of companies.</p><p><em>Aaron Katsman is the lead Portfolio Manager and Managing Director of America Israel Investment Associates, LLC. and Senior Editor of </em><a href="http://www.israelnewsletter.com/"><em><font color="#0072bc">IsraelNewsletter.com</font></em></a><em>.
