Thread: Conservatives and pornography

Utah Leads the Nation in Buying Online Porn

A study of credit card receipts has shown that Utah residents buy more Internet pornography per capita than any other state.

Harvard Professor Benjamin Edelman used billing data from between 2006 and 2008 to determine that the socially conservative state averaged 5.47 adult-content subscriptions per 1,000 home broadband users. On the other end of spectrum, Montana averaged only 1.92.

Much to the delight of liberal commentators, the study also found that eight of the top 10 states in porn consumption voted for the McCain-Palin ticket.

Keeping in mind that those who actually pay for smut are an extremely small percentage of overall Internet porn viewers, this is far from an open-and-shut case of conservative hypocrisy. Instead, porn-lovers in red states may just not understand how the Internet works.

Or, to spin it in a good way, conservatives are too principled to accept handouts from the porn industry.

They pay for their porn like Uncle Sam intended.

Utah's too stupid to figure out how to get free pron.

Laughing, but not surprised.

I saw that the porn industry is looking for a bailout as well.

I wonder how long it'll be until the porn industry start running those hokey ads about stealing intellectual property like they do before movies. You know, the ones where they show a stunt-man who talks about how he can't feed his family because he didn't get enough royalties from Under Siege 2 because too many people pirated it.

I'd love to see one of those for porn. You could interview a bunch of porn stars about how free pornography is theft and how it's affecting their lives.

"I did like 30 ass-to-mouths in that shoot and now people just jerk off to it for FREE. That's stealing!"
