Utah No.1 . . . in porn!
Is it time for a new state nickname?
Utah: The Greatest Horndogs on Earth!A study done by the somewhat credible Harvard Business School on online credit-card receipts finds that Utah is first in the nation for pornography consumption.
Benjamin Edelman at Harvard Business School says the most porn is downloaded in more conservative and religious states.
Some of the people who are most outraged turn out to be consumers of the very things they claimed to be outraged by.
The beehive of porn averaged almost six pornography subscriptions per 1000 home broadband users; Montana bought the least with slightly less than two per 1000.
Think of the graphic possibilites for our license plate. We can do much better than the subliminal suggestions "Life Elevated" and the Delicate Arch.
You'll be relieved to know that red state porn hits slump, so to speak, on Sundays.

No surprise.
How many of those subscriptions do you have, Glen?
Wait... you're supposed to PAY for it?
Quite sure it is all done in the name of research for their Sunday school sermons, due to the laps that occurs on the Sabbath. Now, if they were to be able to focus on certain timesframes.. the appropriate actions could be taken for each ward.. member.
If we could see the IP addresses of those subscribers, I bet we would find a whole bunch inside our legislators closed-door offices.
The ghost of Joy Beech surely has a hand in this.
And Buttars thought his fascination with pig sex was secret.
Haha. Is there no end to bigotry and hypocrisy in Utah?
Oh, no surely it's not those MORMONS, right?????
Such hypocrites! To bad they can do a survey to see how many of those credit cards belong to LDS members!
The study is flawed and is furthermore being inaccurately reported. The research is based on one porn provider only (out of, how many are there?). Instead of breaking down porn usage by zip codes, it generalizes for entire states.
Here's an analogy. The states with the highest number of African-Americans are Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina. All these states voted for McCain in 2008. Therefore, blacks in these states must have voted overwhelmingly for McCain in 2008.
Which is absurd -- examined at the local level, blacks are known to have voted overwhelmingly for Pres. Obama. So leaving the examination at the state level gives a skewed impression.
Just before the election, the New York Times reported a study that showed where pornographic films were most likely to be shipped. (It had some of the same weaknesses of today's study, but not all.) Anyway, the blue/Democratic states were the overwhelming users of porn according to that study, with the most conservative states (Utah and the Bible Belt) having extremely low numbers.
Let's not call each other hypocrites without more information. Thanks.
Looks like more than just the polygamist are give Utah a black eye...LOL this is soooooooo precious.
Why assume that the Utah subscriber's are active Mormons acting hypocritically. The spike is just as likely to be caused by non-religious people who cannot find salacious content in this community as readily as they can in liberal states.
To the anonymous person accusing this study of fraud, I quote the study:
"From a top-10 seller of adult entertainment, I obtained a list of the zip codes associated with all credit card subscriptions for approximately two years, 2006 –2008. While it is difficult to confirm rigorously
that this seller is representative, the seller runs literally hundreds of sites offering a broad range of adult entertainment."
That's zip codes (not just the states), and a top-10 seller in the porn industry, maintaining hundreds of porn sites. I'd say that's at least a broader sample than what you were suggesting in your comment. It's not 100% accurate, but it does set some standards that could be easily reproduced with different sample sets, should one have access to the porn providers databases.
Whoops, that should be 'accusing of being flawed' instead of FRAUD in my last post. Sorry...
Thrain, you are correct, the study itself breaks down usage by zip code -- but it is not being reported that way. It is being reported state by state, which is why I said it was being inaccurately reported. The study is flawed because it takes into account only one porn service provider. I should have been clearer in my original post as to what I was labeling inaccurate reporting and what I consider flaws in the study.
What is the internet for?
According to Avenue Q...
