Sunday is the most popular porn viewing day # 14

[moobu2]

And Utah has the highest porno subscription per thousand something #9 - not that I have anything against porn but I find these type of statistics interesting.


More porn statistics from onlinemba MBA is short for “Masters of Business Administration”

1. My home town is #One !!11! (see item 8)

2. "In volatile market, only stable investment is porn!!"

Why you think the net was born?

[rurallib]

5. porn is always an early adapter of technology

cameras, movies, polaroids, VCRs, now internet.
You could almost say it is what made America what it is today.

3. Utah once again....is a very fucked up place.

Not because they watch porn...but because they condemn watching porn and then do it themselves.

4. The amount of money spent on porn proves how stupid people are.

There's a monumental quantity of free porn available, so why would anybody waste good money on it?

6. For the same reason people pay for anti-virus software

They're ignorant of the free options out there.

9. same reason people pay for operating systems

10. I tried very hard to use LINUX a few years back

After installing I went to the LINUX newsgroups with some simple questions about problems I was having. The answers I got were 1) very snotty and arrogant, and 2) implied that I was far too deeply ignorant to ever be able to use LINUX. (FWIW: I have an MS in computer science and got my first paid programming job in 1963 for IBM.)

From my experience with the LINUX community I discovered that even though I wanted LINUX, the LINUX community didn't want me. They were far too busy defending the walls of their L33T kingdom from mere mortals such as myself. Snobs who thrive on their "special" status don't want to let in anyone else lest they loose their special status.

LINUX would make a lot more progress if the LINUX snobs would grow the hell up.

Boy! How's that for an off-topic rant!?!

11. How many years ago is a few?

I tried Red Hat many years ago and gave up in frustration (and I'm an EE specializing in computer engineering). Then a couple of years ago, I tried Ubuntu (8.10 Intrepid Ibex) and was blown away. Installed itself, found drivers for all my hardware in about half an hour.

Ubuntu has made great strides in making Linux user-friendly and it's reflected in their growth. In just the last two years, the estimated number of Ubuntu users has increased from 8M to 12M meaning that one out of every three Ubuntu users has only been using it since 2008! That's a lot of new users. Plus, I found the ubuntuforums to be quite friendly and tolerant of newbies.

12. +1

I'm a dyed in the wool linux guru. I use Gentoo for my laptop and my servers, and I teach people everything they could ever want to know about other distros as part of my job. I've been doing this for a long time, and while I personally won't be making the switch to Ubuntu (I'm not all that fond of "user-friendly") I HIGHLY recommend the OS and the forums to anyone with even a basic curiosity about linux. Lucid Lynx is one of the easiest and nicest looking Linux distros I've ever tested.

14. Now that I think back on it, maybe 7 or 8 years ago. nt

15. You may want to take another look at it

Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu) is a terrific introduction.

16. A porn site subscription is simpler to hide from a disapproving spouse

than a cache of (free) downloaded video files would be. Doesn't surprise me that Utah leads the way.

7. ...as proven by the Great Provo Porn Bust...

Four years ago, a video-store owner in Provo, Utah, named Larry Peterman was charged with obscenity for selling and renting adult movies.

What most people in the Mormon state thought of porn seemed obvious. Between 2001 and this past spring, when the position was eliminated to save money, Utah was the only state to have a "porn czar" -- a state prosecutor whose sole job was determining what could be considered obscene. And Utah County, which includes Provo, is considered one of the most conservative enclaves in a conservative state.

Yet when Peterman's lawyer asked local hotels and cable and satellite providers how many of their customers bought or rented adult movies, he discovered that the residents of this very traditional community were also disproportionately large consumers of the very same type of materials that prosecutors had deemed obscene and illegal for Peterman to sell.

A jury quickly acquitted him of all charges.

8. 30% of men aged 18-24 are liars?

Didn't we already know this?

[uberllama42]

13. As a 22-year-old man, I can honestly say

I don't know one man my age whom I would believe if he told me he'd never looked at porno on the Internet.

[Jokerman]

17. 12. The average age at which a child first sees porn online is 11.

I'm not going to try to dispute that statistic but before anyone tries to blame the internet know this:

I first viewed porn when I was 11 and that was many, many years before the internet as we know it even existed.
