Doug, old harline socialist that he is, failed to notice that this little looney IPO is actually an ESOP:

The models, known as efoxes, must be between 18 and 35, must provide all of their own wardrobes and effects, must work for hire as independent contractors, must give Efox all rights to nude and semi-nude photographs created with Efox, must agree not to pose for any other online website, and must give up any right to sue Efox.

In exchange for this, Efox will pay its models with 500 shares of Efox stock.
