Porn in the USA: Conservatives Are Biggest Consumers
http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/Business/story?id=6977202&page=1

Americans may paint themselves in increasingly bright shades of red and blue, but new research finds one thing that varies little across the nation: the liking for online pornography.

A new study shows that the states that consume the most porn tend to be more conservative and religious than states with lower levels of consumption. A new nationwide study (pdf) of anonymised credit-card receipts from a major online adult entertainment provider finds little variation in consumption between states.

"When it comes to adult entertainment, it seems people are more the same than different," says Benjamin Edelman at Harvard Business School.

However, there are some trends to be seen in the data. 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," Edelman says.

I suspect people in Obama states are smart enough to get porn for free, skewing the results, but hey, it's just a theory.

2. This study confirms the theory that those who protest the loudest
are usually guilty of the same thing they're protesting.

Remember the people who slammed Bill Clinton the loudest were all later found to also have been having affairs of their own. The sanctimoneous Pubs in the Congress have been the members found to frequent prostitutes, and of courst then there Larry Craig!

We lived in SC for 6 years, and almost every neighbor we had preached how terrible it was to consume any kind of alcoholic drink because it was the liquid of the DEVIL! Then I was talking to the guys who picked up the trash one day, and they laughed. They didn't name any names, but simply said "You should see what's in their trash!"
