Guess who's surfing porn during the recession?

Not a long blog tonight, but I just had to pass along this ridiculous, yet fascinating study out of Harvard. Much has been made about how people caught in the economic crisis turn to lower cost, lower brow entertainment. Instead of Broadway, we rent movies. Instead of a foreign vacation, we go to an amusement park 3 hours away. Well it seems an inventive professor out of the Harvard Business School set his mind to figuring out who is spending scarce recession scratch on porn! If you believe the results of Professor Benjamin Edelman's study, you might fall off your chair.

The report seems to show some of the most politically, religiously, and socially conservative states have the highest rates of porn subscription! Guess what state tops the list . .... Brigham Young is rolling over in his grave.. . .Utah!! Other porn addicted states include Mississippi, Oklahoma, Arkansas, North Dakota, West Virginia. . .and don't forget Alaska. Somebody please tell Gov. Sarah Palin to set up a taskforce to deal with this family values crisis!!

Neither New York, nor New Jersey, nor Connecticut show up in the top or bottom ten in porn subscriptions. If you'd like to read the study for yourself . . . here it is!
