A recent study reported by ABC News reveals that Utah consumes more online pornography per capita than any other state.We win the porn race! Suck it, Montana!
Some of my favorite excerpts:
- Church-goers bought less online porn on Sundays. (Still, I have to wonder if there was a post-church bump...no pun intended.)
- Residents of 27 states that passed laws banning gay marriages boasted 11% more porn subscribers than states that don't explicitly restrict gay marriage.
- States where a majority of residents agreed with the statement "I have old-fashioned values about family and marriage," bought 3.6 more subscriptions per thousand people than states where a majority disagreed.
- A similar difference emerged for the statement "AIDS might be God's punishment for immoral sexual behaviour."
- One comment by a reader of the New York Daily News: "Its not that they look at anymore porn than anyone else, it is that they are too stupid to get it for free!!"
- "One natural hypothesis is something like repression: if you're told you can't have this, then you want it more," Edelman says.

Well, it's cold here. We can't go outside, so we have to watch SOMETHING.
Actually, I'm not surprised. The fact is... the internet has made it a lot easier to do things we wouldn't normally do. Chances are someone isn't going to think about porn so much that they drive down to Vegas to buy porn and view it in their homes. Chances are, they wouldn't.
But...ha ha...the internet? Well, we can do whatever we want, within our homes... it'll make you popular...everybody's doing it... nobody has to know...you know you want to.
Internet= more opportunity to do things you probably shouldn't.
