Ripe For A Federal Takeover?
Guess what the pie chart above represents?
Wrong, wrong and wrong. You’re not going to get it, trust me.
It displays in graphical and thus oh-so-authoritative form the proportional consumption of select countries in 2006 of, erm, porn.
Pervs!
Just don’t ask me how I came to be in possession of this factoid. As ever, whatever I did was for you, dear readers.
Between them, the top 16 national consumers of porn spent over $97 billion on porn. The porno industry is larger than the revenues of the top technology companies combined: Microsoft, Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, Apple, Netflix and EarthLink. It’s also larger than the GDP of all but five African nations.
Which is hardly surprising. Forget all that BS about the interweb being created for the military, for the economy, for the education/control of people worldwide, etc. The brainiacs behind the net had only one goal in mind: the ultimate domination of porn.
The article detailing this is a treasure trove of random information. For instance, Elmhurst, IL, is apparently the porn capital of America, as its residents were responsible for the most number of searches for the terms porn, xxx and sex. Must be a whole lotta people there with time on their hands…
There’s more: 20 percent of men and 13 percent of women supposedly check out porn at work, while 40 million men and 10 million women regularly visit porn sites. You go, girls!
Are the Democrats not aware of the potential revenue to be garnered from a federal takeover of this sector? Barney Frank, King of Porn, anyone?

I understand porn is one of our greatest exports.

I’m guessing that all those Elmhurst, Illinois, porn hits come from the living room of my friend Dave.

Yet another industry that California can’t take advantage of properly…

Thoughts:
Italians don’t need porn, because they’re gettin’ some. Obviously.
No, he would have to be Porn Czar.
I can’t wait for the video that includes the line, “Ooooh baby, you’re TOO BIG TO FAIL!”

Arby – please tell Dave that he’s made Elmhurst infamous. And that he might go blind if he doesn’t give it a rest.
Christine – great line, wish I’d thought of it! With a mind like that, are you one of those 10 million women who look at naughty things on the web, then?

No, but with a mind like that I write some interesting stuff
and profitable, too, on occasion.
