Porn Beats Search Engines in Internet Traffic
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?"
Will the slashdot user "autopr0n" please step forward? Ah, yes.
Sir, please take a bow.
What's next? Water is wet! Film at 11.

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?
Nope, they just like to get paid watching porn like the rest of the world.
I only read slash. for the articles...
Geek: I invented a program that downloads porn off the internet one million times faster.
:drools: One million times...
Marge: Does anyone need that much porno?

Dream job.. DOJ.. all day "taking closer looks at the porn industry"..
Gathering Data. Now there's a nice euphemism for sucking down porn.
John: So you're saying that the renewed strength of the technology sector is leading the new job growth?
m . That's some nasty stuff.
Steve: Not exactly, John. Most of these 280,000 jobs are in the one type of internet business that actually makes money.
John: You mean so-called "portals", like Google.
Steve: You're thinking in the past John. Search engines are so 90s. The future is in net porn.
John: Net porn is driving the new jobs growth?
Steve: That's right, John. If present trends continue, by the year 2006, online adult entertainment will constitute 275% of the US economy, and 1,250% of our exports.
John: That's impossible, by definition it couldn't be more than 100% of-
Steve: Fine, John, we'll use your numbers.
Steve: By the year 2006, internet porn will constitute 100% of the US economy.
John: That still seems unlikely.
Steve: No manufacturing or services of any kind! Every man, woman and, yes, child, will be sucking and fucking in front of a digital camera 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year.
John: Full Employment is good, but-
Steve: The only threat to continued job growth: Pets. Fido will have sex on camera for free. Oh... and, Allen Greenspan's Dominatrix might tell him to raise interest rates.
John: Wh-Wh-What about our culture generally, music, other forms of art?
Steven: Have you *seen* any music videos lately? Anyway, not to worry - sex crazed americans will still be able to get the news - from www.johnstewartreadsthenewswearingnippleclamps.co
Steven: John.
John: Thank you steven.

I'm trying to see if I can get the cadence and word choice right so that it reads like it was written by the people who actually do the show. How'd I do?
The good and new comes from no quarter where it is looked for, and is always something different from what is expected.
Does it seem to anyone else that there's a lot more posters than usual posting as an Anonymous Coward on this story? I wonder why...? Come on, spank monkeys, post proud!
Ashcroft thinks he is a Patriot and a Christian, but he will be stopped outside the Pearly Gates.
Jesus will hold his arms while Sam Adams punches him.
If Slashdot were chemistry it would look like this:Cadaverine
Like the parent said: porn.

How close of a look are they going to take? Do they need volunteers to help with this "investigation"?
...can coexist, fortunately.
