The US states that download the most porn...


Eight of the top 10 pornography consuming states gave their electoral votes to John McCain in last year's presidential election – Florida and Hawaii were the exceptions. While six out of the lowest 10 favoured Barack Obama.

Church-goers bought less online porn on Sundays – a 1% increase in a postal code's religious attendance was associated with a 0.1% drop in subscriptions that day. However, expenditures on other days of the week brought them in line with the rest of the country, Edelman finds.

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."


It would be funny if it wasn't so tediously predictable.

Amm, question...*thinks*

Is it a sin to view porn on Sundays?

No but when you are busy at church and with our family you don't get to go on as much.

But yeah, what is the point of these results?

He's trying to say that religious repression and homophobia results in more porn subscriptions?

likely because those states have less access to the internet and so they have to buy vhs and DVDs

I'd guess it would be something about some people who claim to be very religious being a bunch of pr0n-addicted hypocrites.

See the movies Mark and Ted's Sexcellent Adventures and Larry Craig in Happy Feet for examples.

Most of it, iirc, is Sarah Palin (Nailin' Paylin') or WYTYG related, you know.

And yes there is more to do ... clean up oil company fuckups and make sure our igloos are properly insulated, thankyouverymuch.

Aren't you actually paid taxes or something?

Fix your own damn igloos, if you'd just stop fapping for one second...

Well, they're trying to raise money by charging for rape test kits.

Aren't you actually paid taxes or something?Sort of. Funny how Caribou Barbie is so keen on us pulling out of the union. There's some good reading there.

Fix your own damn igloos, if you'd just stop fapping for one second...What do you think we use for that? It rhymes with "caulk".

The same $ that Palin took for her per diem.

Not much else there, innit?

repress something; create a market. ought to be obvious. it is to most children. one of the great puzzels of so called humanity is how completely this is so often forgotten when they grow up. you'd think, with even the dominance of the domant organized belief being a root a resault of this phenomina, but then again, the degree to which, intentionally or not, it teaches self deception, perhapse this is part of answer.

at any rate, porn is mostly harmless, or would be if it was more creative and less about accumulating symbolic value with which to try and impress each other.

well it's still mostly harmless compared to a lot of other things. like guns and cars and especially the use of combustion to generate energy and propell transportation, and espcially the romanticization of the example of violence, being portraid as 'adult' and rational objectivity as somehow naive.

Not just that...

What is the definition of "welfare" used in this context? Federal subsidies? I inquire this since info on "welfare" can be spun any which way, for example:

Top 4 welfare (AFDC) receiving races:

Sort of. Funny how Caribou Barbie is so keen on us pulling out of the union.

I'd guess that, given the last events, Caribou Barbie is keen on some other kinds of "pulling out" also. ;)

In Russian Alaska, you nail Palin.

I'm just going to go ahead and state the obvious here:
1. Subscriptions =/= Consumption.
I have a healthy (for a 21 year old male) collection of quite scandalous videos on my hard drive, but I have never once subscribed to an online service.

2. People living in rural states have little or no access to hard copy (teehee) porn
Sex shops and blackmarket street vendors need large, relatively anonymous populations to function in. If you live in a small southern town, you're only recourse is online or a copy of Hustler bought at the gas station.

The entire "purity" concept, and all the related organizations and movements about "purity," are simply built on sexualizing absolutely everything at all times and for everyone. These are people who cannot stop thinking about sex sex sex sex sex, and that's why their kids end up wearing silver rings that advertise how they are abstaining from SEX because it's not right to have SEX before you're married to the only person you will ever have SEX with.

There's nothing funnier than a teenager wearing a "purity" ring who's pregnancy is starting to show.

That would explain why #1 was Utah.
