Seat of the LDS Church. Nearly 60 percent of Utahns are Mormons, while 16 percent of the population is religiously unaffiliated.
Utah, also the place where people politely purchase premium porn, in proportions which eclipse the rest of the population.
It's not even a photo finish, in which horny Oregonians might've "come" in second, by a fraction. (They didn't. Alaskans finished second, Mississippians third, and everyone else is faaaar behind. Bringing up the rear: Utah's neighbors and fellow ubercrimson states Idaho and Wyoming. Explain that.)
Researcher and Harvard prof Ben Edelman analyzes: Utah has lots of teens and young people, and a dearth of retail porn outlets. Baow-chicka-baow-baow, I guess.
Sadly, the study's author already coined the term "Red-Light States," which is especially tragic, since that pun was born to be made by me.
Word count: 142.
how can a state like Utah purchase more porn than California or Texas or New York? Is this by percentage of pop.? Weird stats...
ReplyDeleteI would say look at the workforce - truckers traveling through in Utah (come on, people don't really live in Utah!), fisherman and people who spend too much time alone in Alaska (ever watch "into the wild"?) and Mississipi is Mississipi.
By percentage of homes with broadband connections. (Probably not by volume or weight.) The interesting thing, of course, is how the rest of the country totally lags behind. Yay statistics!
