A study of the online porn purchases nationwide by Harvard Business School uncovered something surprising (or maybe not). Residents of right-wing religious areas purchase more porn than those in liberal areas:
Those states that do consume the most porn tend to be more conservative and religious than states with lower levels of consumption, the study finds.
“Some of the people who are most outraged turn out to be consumers of the very things they claimed to be outraged by,” [Benjamin Edelman of Harvard Business School] says.
I'm not surprised. Are you surprised? I'm not surprised. I already said that, but I said it again for emphasis.
And guess which religion appears to be the most porn-obsessed? Yup, Mormons:
The biggest consumer, Utah, averaged 5.47 adult content subscriptions per 1000 home broadband users; Montana bought the least with 1.92 per 1000. “The differences here are not so stark,” Edelman says.
Number 10 on the list was West Virginia at 2.94 subscriptions per 1000, while number 41, Michigan, averaged 2.32.
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.
Repressed much, righties?
Of course, this study was done by the Harvard Business School, so we should completely discount it. We all know that they're all nothing but a bunch of gay atheist sex addicts with nothing better to do than... reveal the truth.
Residents of 27 states that passed laws banning gay marriages boasted 11 percent more porn subscribers than states that don’t explicitly restrict gay marriage.
Let's recap:
Rightie wingnuts: Gay = bad. Porn = dandy.
Let me rephrase that:
Healthy, loving same-sex relationships = Immoral sexual behavior.
X-rated online voyeurism = Religious Rightie version of monogamous, hetero loving relationships.
Moral: If you vote Republican and pray a lot, you get to regularly enjoy the company of your favorite cyber boinkers, as long as you condemn it publicly.
