PornHub offers to buy Vine video platform from Twitter to let people post X-rated clips
The adult site wanted to restore Vine to its "NSFW glory"
THE PORN megasite has offered to buy the microvideo app from Twitter, saying "six seconds is more than enough".
In a letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey from Pornhub VP Corey Prince, the porn giant said it would help "restore Vine to its NSFW glory".
"We figure since Twitter has dropped (Vine) and is having significant layoffs, that you and your stakeholders could benefit from a cash infusion from the sale of Vine." The porn baron's letter said.
"Not to mention we would be saving Vine gems like 'Damn Daniel,' 'Awkward Puppets' and many more."

"We value you, your Vines, and are going to do this the right way. You’ll be able to access and download your Vines.
"We’ll be keeping the website online because we think it’s important to still be able to watch all the incredible Vines that have been made."
