Back in my day …

Awesome comic strip from AmazingSuperPowers.com (I had to crop and resize it a bit to fit into the width of this blog, so make sure you click through to see the original).

Back in my day

I’m glad our generation, while I am sure disappointing to many, actually brought something huge that wasn’t there in the previous generation.  Yes, I am talking about the Internet once again.  And yes, we got the point now where previous generation can actually use it – both of my parents are online now.

Quest for men who haven’t seen porn

Slashdot Science reports:

Scientists at the University of Montreal would love to compare the views of men in their 20s who had never been exposed to pornography with regular porn watchers. The problem is, they can’t find a man in that age category who has never seen it. “We started our research seeking men in their 20s who had never consumed pornography,” said Professor Simon Louis Lajeunesse. “We couldn’t find any.

This is interesting on a number of levels.  First of all, it is, of course, hilarious.

Secondly, if seen as a puzzle or quest, I’d say they should look for men like this in places with the lowest rates of Internet connectivity.  Internet does not equal porn, but it makes it so much simpler to find and watch it.  Pre-Internet porn is harder to distribute, requiring some sort of copying device.

Thirdly, this makes me think back to the argument I had some time ago about who watches the most porn – men or women.  While I am not saying that women don’t watch porn, I think men watch incomparably more of it.

Fourthly, this gives me a reason to use both “porn” and “research” tags on the same post.

Fifth, I worry what contextual ad will pop up in Google AdSense.
