Love it or loathe it, porn is the reason why the internet is so big these days.
I doubt if many if they were honest could deny they've never looked at porn usually within days of getting a internet connection.
I Remember watching a program years back which detailed the fact that most internet inovations were powered by the porn industry, secure transactions were made possible by companies set up to handle porn subscriptions before banks and retailers ever dreamed of going online.
Basically if the porn industry hadn't embraced the internet so readily 10-15 years ago it would most likely still only be available to the very rich and in a vastly reduced form.
What reminded of this, was I have a Rapidshare account for downloading the sort of stuff you find in blogland, cheap enough on it's own but can be free if you fancy uploading stuff for others to download (although 10,000 downloads for a free month is a bit steep).
I've uploaded various stuff around the net with a limited success over the last few months (a couple of hundred downloads only), so I tried uploading a couple of porn clips this morning to a popular forum and nearly a 1,000 downloads in 8 hours!!
As I say despite the denials I know what most of you are really looking at :)

Porn's dominance of the internet is a depressing indicator of where people's minds (mostly men's minds of course, including my own, as I am forever subscribing to porn sites) are at.
Wanking is perfectly suited to "surfing the net", we waste too much time doing it & all we are left with is poor eyesight & a alot of tell tale stains.
Porn is detatched & impersonal (even for the performers), making it perfect for the anonymous usery of the internet.
Though I look at porn all the time, I'd much prefer if it did not exist...not for reasons of morality, but for the time wasted & frustration caused by fantasising over unobtainable women. Porn is unhealthy, habit forming & dishonest.
Nicely put :)
I've got no problem with it as long as it doesn't intrude, as it used to before I got a pop-up blocker.
Although certain subjects (you know which) should remain criminal offences and those that indulge deserve to be hunted down, the majority of internet porn is just business and the models / actors get paid for it, so I don't see why I should complain.
If my missus was glamorous I'd be setting up a site to bring some money in, but she isn't and I wouldn't inflict that on the world ..haha :)
Did get worried before xmas when I had to put my son's PC in for repair and they took a lot longer than expected, I asked him if he had anything of a dodgy nature on it? "nothing much" was the reply so I was regretting booking it in under my name expecting a police raid after they had found some dubious stuff on it?
Luckily it came back without the police and I used the excuse of setting up a new anti-virus to go through his bookmarks where there were a host of porn sites.
Luckily nothing of an under-age nature ... phew!!
He's a teenage boy, what should I expect.
Anyway the 2 fuck'n'suck movies I uploaded have now hit nearly 3000 downloads so I should get my free month on Rapidshare.
I'd not thought of uploading porn to get Rapidshare points, I'll have to try that.
It's kind of depressing but I'm going with the flow.
Have uploaded some music that was hard to find and hoped to benefit the masses, and a few months down the line about 10 people have bothered to download.
I upload a couple of bog standard 5 minute porn clips just to see if I could increase my downloads and they've gone through the roof?
As I say despite us all being righteous and claiming the net is the portal to gaining knowledge and improving our lives, the vast majority are still only looking at porn.
.. and if I wasn't writing this I would be too :) haha
If you think about it, being popular on the internet is a bad thing...keeping company with pornographers, youtube & myspace wannabes, etc.
In fact, most sites/blogs I've found to be worthwhile get very few comments. Maybe it's a good thing that not many ppl download or comment, it keeps the riff raff out!
I saw one music blog where the blogger would only upload a new record after he'd received 20 comments! How sincere are the comments going to be? "I've only left this comment because I want you to upload another rare album".
It leads you to think that most ppl are selfish wankers (literally)...& unfortunately that may well be true. I think if a nuclear bomb dropped, there'd still be someone logging onto myspace to check if they had any friend invites that day!
Hehe, I know people like that.
My son didn't know what to do with himself when his computer broke down and he couldn't check how many people had watched his latest film about himself.
I think we're all guilty of it though, it massages my ego to think there's someone out there who actually reads this stuff I post... hehe :)
