CNBC's Jim Cramer 'Not Crazy About' Online Porn

NEW YORK—During this morning's "Squawk on the Street" show on CNBC, host Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer (pictured) and David Faber were assessing various stocks when the subject of Abercrombie & Fitch's recent price drop and problematic outlook was raised by Quintanilla. Before he could even finish his sentence, Cramer interrupted him with his take on the apparel company and its embrace of 'soft porn' in its ads, which led to additional observations on the subject of porn. "I think we're all tired of the scantily clad teen ads," he said. "You know what? I'm tired of it. I don't know about you." After a slight pause, Quintanilla suggested, "David and I are struggling with this..." "If I want to buy a six-pack, the heck with it, I'm going to buy a Coors Light," continued Cramer. "Six packs belong in beer, not in advertising. I look at their advertising and I say, jeez, this is like between Game of Thrones and this, surrounded by pornography, surrounded by soft porn." Faber, who had been looking on silently, commented, "It's about 30 percent of the traffic on the internet anyway, so..." "I'm not that crazy about that, either," said Cramer. "As you shouldn't be," replied Faber. "As you shouldn't be." Expanding the scope of the conversation, Cramer noted, "I think a lot of the video problems on the internet is that people don't want to be matched up alongside porn; it comes out everywhere." Both of his colleagues nodded in sage agreement. "That is actually a very big issue..." said Quintanilla. "That's true..." added Faber. Cramer then added an odd (but not so surprising) non sequitur, "I'm not a big porn user ... but I know it when I see it, to quote Potter Stewart." "Yup, Potter Stewart,' said Faber before interjecting, "I think we should move on from this subject." "Yeah, yeah, yeah," agreed Cramer enthusiastically. Cue commercial break.
