Porn Beats Search Engines in Internet Traffic

Posted by michael on from the porn.slashdot.org-coming-soon dept.

zamboni1138 writes "A just published Reuters story claims almost 20% of all U.S. web traffic is categorized as 'adult'. While some of it is just of an adult nature, most of it is probably porn. Search engines get about 5.5%, Google being about half of that. This should surprise no one given the bandwidth intensive nature of online porn. Of course this is only the research of one company over a one week period. Is this one of the reasons why the US DOJ recently announced it is going to be taking a closer look at the porn industry?"

    Of course, given that in John Ashcroft's last personal experience with the political process, he got beaten by a corpse,

    I know it's an uphill battle trying to correct liberals, but Ashcroft was not beaten by a corpse, he was beaten by a widow. The corpse, before it became a corpse, was losing.

    So, the only way the Democrats could beat Ashcroft was by getting their candidate killed and playing the sympathy card.

    Anything to get elected, eh?
